Cover Art

[Darkwing1337]

Just wondering how much a games cover art persuades you into checking it out. I feel a game that has really good cover art has a better chance of catching the attention of people, but I'm sure there are a lot of gems being missed out because of this.

Very little to none. Now I like nice pics to look at but it's not required at all. I wait til 4th release before I'll pick up a VN. Ratings are everything at that point.

100% influences checking it out. There have been a fair number of games I skipped over for a long time due to poor cover art/previews and then later tried and enjoyed. Though there are certainly plenty that were still terrible on the try.

Partially. If it's made with Koikatsu, I just can't do it.
For some reason, that style burns my eyes and I refuse to play games rendered with it.

There are so many games available these days, I really think it's essential to at least try to come up with a half-decent cover photo or else you could lose out on so much interest from people not even giving your game a chance

An interesting title can help stand out as much as the cover art.

Was more important with physical media

I mean the cover art is the first thing that catches the eye

Nice cover and of course the name are very important. Good games may not get the deserved attention if they won't catch your eye when scrolling... My opinion

 

[osiris789]

Yeah not gonna lie it definitely changes how quickly I'm going to notice it, and there are definitely some thumbnails that could use more inspiration out there

Cover art is important, it's the first impression I'm getting about a game outside of a recommendation.

screenshots usually do a better job at drawing my attention

First, the art catches my eye, then I read the title. If I can infer enough from both of those to keep moving on, I will. Otherwise, I will go deeper to see what its about, how other people like it, etc.

I feel like tags and screenshots are a bit more what I look at rather than the cover arts. Especially after taking a chance on midlife crisis with that cover...

Ah, thats a good point. The "cover art" to me, I guess would include the mouseover screenshots as well, since that's how I myself checked out Midlife Crisis.

 

[Satsujin]

Well i´m from a time where the cover art was the only thing you have to decide what game to get so yeah, i check games based on the cover art but now i also check the tags and screenshots to confirm what to download.

A LOT! It's literally a game's face, you don't want it be smashed haha

ratings suck, because of retarded normies, i don't look at ratings at all, facts don't care about their 1 star ratings lol

THIS!! i've seen many good games with minimalistic artcover or absence of it

I mean the cover art is the first thing that catches the eye

Duh, that's why i don't read many books lmao
upd. audio ones are the best, love x2 or x3 speed haha

it's not your opinion, it's a fact! you're goddamn right, judge a porn/hentai title by its cover!!!

I don't check tags at all, i liked the arts/previews i download it, i might check some porn gameplay/walkthrough videos if it has any, sadly there are no hentai walkthrough anywhere, i'd love to watch it, fuck censored woke pornhub and youtube
