I was thinking that one of the things I feel like was lost in the last couple of generations is the sick ass covers that prevailed in the '80s & '90s. Granted, since a couple of decades ago, with magazines and mostly the internet games didn't need to rely on strong covers to catch your attention anymore, but for me it is always nice to have a strong cover to go with.

Even some of the weird stuff like the ultra simplistic SMS covers or the bizarre style that Capcom employed in some western covers like Megaman and Strider have some kind of soul to it.

Personaly I really like pic related, even if I was never into GnG. That cover just grabs you by the balls.

You mean, you don't like generic covers that we get like this one nowadays?

Jesus there are like 4 cover arts for that game and you cherry pick the worst one to prove your point?

You're not wrong but that's a bad example.
