Yay!

That was a quick fix.

3.0 well i prefer the old visual.

Not gonna use a number I just hate it. Yes I hate it. Some of the new features seem useless. Besides the disgusting aesthetic the way they moved some stuff around is terrible.

Its just clunky all around and I see no real improvement. I agree it was time for an upgrade from the old site but this was a terrible step "forward"

0 i dont like this at all

It's looking good. However, to make it a bit faster, you should consider the following:
setup your system so that you can gzip html, css, js files
minify your js
put all your js links at the bottom of the page and css at the top

make all your css and js external

I dunno.. it looks too much like IGN and the front page is kind of jumbled. I guess I'm just so used to the old format..

4/10

sorry dont like it, too many colors.
I loved the old design, well arranged, it dident hurt ur eyes and the console icons look to much alike in VGC 2.0. It Was simple but fantastic (simptastic), a reason why it was frequented so often.

Any chance for a VGChartz 1.5, old design with new upcoming features of 2.0 ?

2/10

1. it is too dark
2. Overloaded - it seems there is no structure at all.
3. Can't visit this on my cell phone now, because of all the flash-stuff
4. PSP/PS3 and DS/Wii have the same colour - thats stupid and irritating
5. The colours do not look good
6. I had to change my resolution to get the whole page without a sidebar.

E3 can't be a letdown compared to this.

The first page was a 8.5/10.

8/10 it matches my dark FireFox theme very well.

Aesthetically, I tend to like dark on light themes better, but it sure looks more polished.
But it isn't doing its main job too well, that is presenting the information in a clear manner.

The layout requires an very wide window and doesn't scale well horizontally.

The home page looks cluttered, and is much much heavier than before, with distracting auto-updating boxes and loading bars.

I have no longer access to "my recent threads" from it, even when logged in.

The category tabs in the stories section change on mouse hover, instead of mouse click, and then they stay put. Result: I keep having them set on the wrong filter simply because I unwillingly traversed it with the mouse pointer while scrolling.

There seems to be more emphasis on aesthetics than to the real presentation: take the hardware sales bar chart, for example. It's all nice and flashy, but you have to hover over the names of the consoles (no way to know it) to see the detailed numbers for the 3 areas, where in the old version they were immediately visible with no human interaction needed. And there would be some space under the console names for these numbers to be always visible, but the authors rather used that vertical space for a "reflection" thing, that when reflecting text also reduces readability.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I think that content and use should dictate design.
