| Zim said: So many game sites seem to be unable to do smooth redesigns. Gametrailers I actually think is okay but has some major issues. The video player will sometimes do nothing but show ridiculously blocky videos. Also the display is screwed up. There was a review listed as Amazing Spider-man DS, I click it and it's the console version...... that isn't a proper alternate. Also as seems to be the way with many sites now it seems that newer design = Bury everything one step deeper in menus. I used to be able to get to AVGN by just clicking screwattack then his tab. Two clicks. Whereas now it goes shows - AVGN - see all. Why the extra click? Still it's a damn sight better than other redesigns. Kotaku's was so terrible and the attitude of the writers so arrogant that I entirely stopped using the site. Likewise IGNs new design is beyond awful. It has been months and I still don't know where to find movie reviews. Like I know I can click the movie tab and there are the top 10 hot reviews. But a list of all recent reviews? I dunno I can't find it. |
I absolutely hate extra clicks. If they do extra clicks I don't go there. Why dothey do that? Do they gain extra views and more ad revenue from it?
Btw too long or too frequently repeated ads, I don't go there. Sometimes on YouTube you have to watch the whole 30 seconds, sometimes you can skip it after 5 seconds. If it's the full 30 seconds I go somewhere else. How does IGN on Youtube do it?
I also hate when sites sort the content too much like you describe. I don't want their "hot" reviews shove down my throat. Give me an easy to browse, complete list.
