deliberate? I'd say so :) It perfectly conveys the core of the game story. Mankind on the verge of extinction by the hand of aliens.

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.

day before yest my friend posted a pic of trypophobia on a whatsapp group... and i was on my way home from gym... damn i felt disgusted watching that pic.. but i was still looking at it for quiet a long tym :P

It's not the holes that disturb me in most of the photos/videos I've seen. For example. with the toads, it's the babies crawling around and hopping out the back, that's pretty creepy.

Damn , now i cant get that disturbing images out of my head.... DO NOT GOOGLE IT :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I hate you. I don't have trypophobia and neither the lotus seed pod or suriname toad annoy me (although the toad is kind creepy), but all those photoshopped pics of human skin are terrifying. Q_Q

Those are bad, but not as bad as 'lamprey fingers'

A Google search for "Trypophobia" brought up a lot of images that made me shutter.
At least I know why I find the bee sting in Animal Crossing: New Leaf disgusting now.

Is it okay if I don't get freaked out after seeing that pics?

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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.
Comment has been collapsed.
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.

I'm in charge of updating store pages on Steam, that is why.

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
Comment has been collapsed.
i love that image, skulls making an alien face. those empty eyes are scary.
hq image to appreciate details
Comment has been collapsed.
It actually conveys a great message in my opinion. The alien face made from human skulls ---> the end of human race at the hands of the aliens. They really did think that through.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a bit horrifying but honestly, I think it's pretty cool..
Comment has been collapsed.
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 :)

BUMP for more skulls !

What...
Steamgifts confuses me so much lately. Why are there so many weird and out-of-ordinary threads suddenly?
Comment has been collapsed.
3 months ain't old yet, not everybody makes a post in the first week.
Just saying, the more people are around the more previously rare occurrences become commonplace.
Comment has been collapsed.
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!

Thrones for the throne-skull!

This is the picture of X-com2 and I always see it on the front page of steam store.
I have to say it makes me disgusting， I don't know why a game choose a picture like this.
I won't buy the game just because this sick pic.
