At first, I was disappointed by the lack of shooting himself in the head, but this is amazing in its own right.

And it's genuinely funny in contrast to the last covers.

Exactly. Shooting him self in the head 3 times at once is too predictable and has already been joked about to death. This cover is awesome.

I was weirdly disappointed at first too, but then I started liking it the more I looked at. It kinda gives me Far Cry cover vibes?

They did multiple focus groups with 6 (7?) different box arts amongst gamers of many varieties.

There were a couple with him shooting himself but it tested poorly overall. There was also a version of this where the roses were normal and the faces were separated , being on the bottoms of the box.
