Hmmm am I the only one who dislike this?

What the hell is this? wow.

Trypophobia? I feel you
Do a Google Image search for either 'lotus seed pod' or 'suriname toad' to be sure. Or don't, to be safe.

I love it. Tried to find a nice quality background of it to put on my desktop.

I think it is a fantastic representation of the idea behind the game.

The game is about Aliens destroying the human race. So I think this picture fits quite perfectly...

now you have to buy this game since the polls say opp to what you believe.... :P

"I won't buy the game just because this sick pic"

You have reached a brand new height of entitlement there my friend.

Really, you won't buy the game because of the picture?
I like it, fits XCOM's theme perfectly. Don't know what you find so "disgusting" about it.

I'm more annoyed by the fact that the remake series went the "oooooh, I'm edgy because the bad guys won and you are playing a resistance fighter and I'm totally not ripping off everything from Half-Life 2" way instead of really just adding some spins to the original story.
Seriously, I'm getting sick that the "creative spin" on some remakes is "in our ending we are so different that in this case the hero lost, because that will make us totally different, right?". Bonus points when they make the protagonist commit suicide in the end, because even more edgy.

Human perception varies a lot and the amount of disgusting/horrendous stuff out there, is endless in its most diverse bloom.
Personally i couldn't count clean picked human skulls, be they real, model or just in digital recreation in video games ...

Anyway easy to escape that sight that disgusts you by clicking "not interested" on the steam page and never
care for it again - i do so myself with most Zombie trash games and others i don't care for the slightest.

I think I'm totally indifferent to that picture (I don't like it, but I can't see what's wrong with it), but perception varies from person to person.

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just an image that perfectly describes the game. I'm not sure why you would hold of on buying a (possibly) great game, just because of one picture...

It's weekend now but I'm going to change it first thing in the morning to something more pleasant so have no worries.

Don't like it either, though can't place the why :S

I like the design, gives it a more of an alien look to it, and as someone posted its far less creepy than what you can find in nature

Yeah, you're the only one.

i love that image, skulls making an alien face. those empty eyes are scary.

You can always hide it :D

It's a bit horrifying but honestly, I think it's pretty cool..

I think this picture is superawesome :) I don't mind the skulls at all!
Also I'm the big fan of XCOM and I'm superexcited about XCOM 2 :)

LOL, never ever visit the catacombs if you find yourself in Paris someday :)

Skulls are disgusting? You live in china? o.0

What...
Steamgifts confuses me so much lately. Why are there so many weird and out-of-ordinary threads suddenly?

I don't really mind the skulls but somehow I find the alien pretty disturbing, so I'm not really comfortable around that pic either. Though I've seen worse on the Steam store front (that Naruto game with the naked Harry Potter clone that had a snaketotallynotpenis going out of his chest x_x)

There's really only one proper response here...SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
