I'm trying not to be negative, but I really don't like the new design. Everything is so scattered, and the way I used to use this site is broken....in a really bad way. Where the hell is the discussion when you click on game in the sales section? That's where I spent 99% of my time. Not only is there no discussion on the sales now, but there's no way to get to it. Further, I want to add a game to my collection, I did a search, and the game no longer pops up. WTF?! Apparently the search only works for articles.
Why change the core functionality of the site. VGChartz is what it is, because of what it was. This idea of breaking it up into 4 separate sites is a terrible idea. Terrible. It would have been fine to enhnace VGChartz and improve things to add functionality, but you really should have done it slowly, and in a way that doesn't fundamentally break how people used the site.
I'm not sure if I'm sticking around now. I may come here for sales data, but that's it now. I used to do a lot more here, but I think I'm going to do all that stuff on GiantBomb.com now.
Bring back the discussion when you click on a game so we can discuss the sales. Also, allow me to add games to my collection from there. Why take that away? I can't even figure out how to add a game to my collection now. Seriously, why take functionality away?! That's the surest way to lose users.
Another site I frequent (Harmony Central) just did a huge upgrade too. It royally pissed the userbase off because it changed everything, made everything difficult to use, and was a giant turd. This upgrade reminds me of that one...mightily. I really wish it would just go back to the way it was. Upgrades need to be done with more thought, more incremental change, and less crazy segmenting, and radical change. Leave that shit to Obama.
