Okay, I know this is a very specific subject for a video but stick with me on this one
Is it just me or are covers for games DVDS and Blu-Rays all?
Exceedingly dull and very similar the one that gets me most is video game covers, and I'll mostly be focusing on them
So let's start there out of the 40 odd games I own
I can only say that I genuinely like the covers of five of them and two of them are Batman games and one is a
Special edition of a game that normally has a totally bland looking cover
So I've come to the conclusion that game covers break down into two main categories
person/Robot/creature holding a gun/weapon and looking angry
and the grizzled white guy in danger or holding a weapon
I would like to think that games have evolved past the point where you need to attract the interest of small children
by simply putting an angry-looking dude holding a gun, but I guess the evidence proves otherwise
I understand that they want to clearly show that the game involves plenty of action and guns
and they don't want to keep anything a mystery
But games like Skyrim prove that you don't need to have an obnoxiously over-the-top
Explosion front cover to interest people and still sell millions of copies
I understand the games like Skyrim are part of a huge franchise
But even most of the huge triple-a games have exceedingly lazy front covers
Despite the fact they're guaranteed to sell like crazy
So I have two game covers in particular that I find the most lazy and insulting the first being bioshock infinite
there's so much more to bioshock infinite than a grizzled white guy holding a shotgun and looking
Downwards and the developers clearly knew it hence why they printed an infinitely better
Excuse the pun cover on the flipside of the awful default one
were they really that Obsessed with trying to reach so broad an audience as possible
By making the cover so bland as to try and sell a few extra copies to people who'll see it and say
'Oh, cool. That game done look like call of duty cuz it has them guns in there
I'm gonna Buy this right now today', so the other game cover
I loathe is unreleased at this time new IP known as destiny now this game is one of my most anticipated
Titles for next year and the original cover that was used for promotional material
Was both interesting and cryptic and inspired you to want to research and see what the game was all about
Now here is the official cover
Yep, another dude holding a gun who looks strangely like master chief from the trailer for the next halo game
the thing that gets to be most is the fact that I know
,For a fact, that the artists and talent behind the design of these games are incredibly creative and imaginative people
So it seems like such a shame to represent these games of typical predictable
shooty shooty gun gun
Exploding things it makes it
remarkably difficult to try and defend games as an art form when the design process for the covers are so lazy and
Uninspired, and if nothing else it gives the fools who think video games are the core reason as to why
violence exists More False evidence for their idiotic arguments and points
Man, I wish I could live in a world where covers were actually different, but what Jesus Chris!. What's going on-?!
oh
God, where am I?
Oh this is awful. Where's my nice red background gone? What is this?
-It's beige
-What what? -the background for color it's beige?
-Oh right uhh
who are you?
Where am I? -I run a YouTube channel about my opinions and feelings on things.
-What really that's very similar to what I do. have you heard of me before my Channel's called
I hate everything -well my channel is called I am neutral on everything. -well, this is
This is awful. -That is nice that you think that
But is also not nice that you think that I'm neutral on your opinion
oh christ somebody get me out of here! wait a sec. am I in a parallel universe or something?
What a DVD blu-rays in and game covers like over here -well um
They're all beige
With simple text on them like they have always been. - my God this is even worse than what
They're like in my universe. This is awful. This is just too awful am I gonna be trapped here forever? wait a minute
Maybe when I said that it was my wish that I could live in a different universe my wish somehow came true
Well, I guess it's worth a shot to try wishing again. Okay!
I wish I was in a universe where media covers were all imaginative and original an-and not beige
whoaa!
Oh God, what is this? It's pink so much pink
-Hello there my new and fantastic friend
It's just, oh, such a wonderful time today to make new friends is it not the best my new friend?! -holy mother of God... no
You can't be!
This is-this isn't possible. -oh, how rude of me let me introduce myself
I am I love everything
noooo
No, oh, God
It's even worse than the last one
Okay, Just tell me one thing the style of everything what are game covers like in this world. -Well, um a, game covers
They're all very creative and wonderful. -I knew it wait what
s-so, they're all original and unique
-Yes, they are my friend ,however, They did cause the almighty overlord to gain his power and also started 14 world Wars haha
-oh right of course it did
So who's this almighty overlord then? -I must never mention his name old friend
Or he will stab me to death with his trident. -well, that's sucks. What wait. Did you say trident?
Only one being in my universe use a trident.is Aquaman your almighty Overlord?
-uh-oh looks like you uttered the overlords name. I guess it's time to accept our deaths -not for me
It's not there's no way in hell that aquaman is gonna be the one to kill me
I wish I was back in my normal universe. -no don't go best friend.
-Oh f*ck off
-Oh No overlord my friend. Im-im terribly sorry.
-do you think it's okay to f*ck around with the overlord? -well of course not overlord
-I'm Gonna kill you now
-wow, well that was
Truly Truly strange
And I never managed to get around to the DVD and blue-Ray section
Oh, well, the general idea of what I think is proven in a gizmodo article
I've linked in the description anyway. Where did the unexplicable power to grant wishes come from in the first place?
-ra da da Whoaho!
ra a da! whoaho!
-Ah genie of course I found that lamp didn't I and you granted me three wishes
You Crazy f*cking bastard
