UK Box Cover

[major_setback]

At least they got rid of Storm of War; they might as well have called it Perils of Pursuit. It was just too corny.

I think they could have used a bit more imagination with the title though.

The worst thing is the overall composition of the shot. Who came up with that? Certainly no one who went to art school...

Besides, what exactly is burning with black oily smoke in the wing of a Bf109E?... Honestly, why didn't Ubisoft just make a post here and ask for someone of the talented artists of our community to make them a boxart!?

It's not the art work on the "Box" that concerns me but the information at the bottom right hand corner.

"Internet connection required for activation"

Have I missed something ?? or does this mean that it will not be able to be played "Off Line"

Most people are thinking it means just a one time internet activation then you can be offline and fly.

Yep! I'd buy that too.

[Wolf_Rider]

that's what it seems to be saying... A one time activation, before the software can run. (same as Windows, Office, etc)

Because you know what is inside. But anyone who will stroll along this box in a shop will not take great interest because the box art is hideous. The composition is cramped, off in terms of perspective, factually wrong and artistically nothing more than a polished screenshot. Real cover art is a thing of beauty, while this is a lame excuse for not wanting to spent money on it.

For me the box cover is part of the game, just as the front cover of a book is an important part of the expirence of reading it. Knowing the amount of time and effort the developers have put into the "insides" of this product, it just hurts when you see how little care and time Ubisoft has put into the outsides.
