What bothers me the most are those strange white spots in the Switch background. Every other platform has a solid grey background, but Switch? Nooo, there's strange white spots. Seems to be touching the adjacent Xbox background as well.

While you are at it,why is the switch represented by blue and the ps4 by red?I know is nitpicking,but i had never understood that decision.

I'm guessing it's because the colors represening the 3 companies have been set for several years already.

On this site or in general? I don't see this being a general state of things myself, because Nintendo has been red for as long as I can remember and never blue, while Sony has a much stronger affiliation with blue (PS2 logo, PS4 box and games). If it's just a site thing, it could easily be thrown away and replaced with something more sensible, like it should always have been.

The poor Switch is being treated as a second class citizen.



I agree, the Switch should be with the handhelds.

Making it responsive should be easy (viewport, media quiries etc), but from a UX standpoint it could be a pretty difficult task. Imo the site is not pleasant to use on desktop to begin with.

I am more fond of flexbox, super easy, and takes less data.
Simple is almost always better.

Eh, still used to Bootstrap. Mainly because of my work. We have to think about browser support (Just fuck off and die IE!).

Also, they just used the magic wand tool to get the white background out of the Switch logo. They forgot some edges lol. Terrible. Just vectorize it in illustrator. 1 min work.

Just on VGC. These have been the colors since the site revamp ( I can't remember if these were colors used in the earlier versions of the site ). The Wii and Wii-U had blue logos. Perhaps that played a part in deciding what to make Nintendo's color. The PS3 wasn't really associated with a primary or secondary color. The box and console were black, and the game cases were clear. I think they should stay as they are, but don't care too much either way.

Man, Blasphemous sure is a pretty game...
Well, the artwork is pretty...

Some of the best pixel art I have seen.

I am all in for that game. I love these types of games. Dante's inferno with Dark souls difficulty.



What's wrong with these images? They look pretty good, if you don't zoom in so much. This site has a lot of problems that are way more important.

I know right?

Certainly a lot more visible than the current Ataribox logo-

Can we please get a responsive site? Vgchartz on mobile is awful.

"Connection timed out, server takes too long to respond" is part of the VGChartz experience.

That's my favorite feature!
