Is this good menu design?

Is this good menu design?

It's great. I don't care what you think about the actual game, but I've not seen any game near as aesthetic in just about everything as P5.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks bad?

No.
There's just way too much shit going on at once, it's really awful. I bet a blind man with downs syndrome could design a better menu without even trying.

It works. A bad menu would be one where picking what you want is unnecessarily complicated, in P5 you just move the cursor up or down.

Strangely enough, I feel that the boldness of the design makes it easily readable, but there is definitely a period needed to get used to it.

In the context of the game it's great. The phantom thieves are all about style and looking cool. Would be super out of place in almost anything ride though.

>it's a "people who've played the game argue with people whose only frame of reference is a static jpg" episode
>it's a "shit thread gets reposted endlessly by one autistic NEET" episode

Its good when u first see it.
But after honey moon phase is over its fucking horrible and annoying.

I don't even own a PS4 but I'm not retarded enough to think that this menu looks good at all.

Heo, person who's only frame of reference is a static jpg, I'm person who played the game, and you're wrong

You fool you are doing exactly as he described.

I am aware of this.

...

Whether the menu good or bad is subjective, though.
However, you being a total retard is objective, as only someone who is mentally challenged could think that piece of shit looks passable.

>whether it's good or bad is subjective
>except it's objectively shit

>Whether the menu good or bad is subjective, though.
wow, the guy with shit taste can't even use grammar properly

Me misspelling a word isn't as bad as how your parents misspelled the amount of chromosomes you were supposed to be born with.

It's nice to look at. It's annoying to actually use.

>it's another Fatlus are oblivious retards to basic design notions thread

nope it's garbage just like the game
all style no substance

Easy to navigate and fun to watch the animations desu
You can also move the cursor and select options while the animations are playing which makes it much less annoying to savescum for gallows fusions

Your opinion is garbage.

It took me a bit to get used to but once I did everything was easy to find, by the time I finished Kamoshida's palace I was navigating through the menus without even thinking about it. It helps that you only move through it vertically as opposed to having options spread all over the screen.

The part of the UI that should really be celebrated is in the combat. Having every single action just a button press away AND mapped to its own unique button is so much nicer and faster than having to scroll through a list.

When I saw this in one of the trailers back in 2015 I fell in love with the series at that instant. Persona 5's menus are a treasure, and I hope other developers are taking notes because goddamn its incredible design.

Did that sound clever in your head? All you did was make yourself look even dumber.

No. I won't even give a (you). Your opinion is shit, kill yourself.

Honestly surprised to see there's people who don't love P5's incredible aesthetic.

Everything from the menus to the loading screens oozes with style, it's fucking perfect.

this. the two main things you're gonna be focused on visually in a battle are your characters and the enemies, so it's only natural that the UI elements should be located near them. having them shoot out from your character is pretty genius

Is this a shitpost template?

dont get me wrong, Persona has always had great presentation but the gameplay and functionality is tedious monotonous garbage in typical J non-rpg fashion.
fanboys can't accept that watching the same couple of drawn out attack animations play over and over again for 90 hours is not good
persona 5 is just a visual clusterfuck

It's a repost OP for sure.

You just have gripes with the genre then. Most JRPGs are repetitive after some hours, but at least Persona is kinda enough to give us a fast forward in most situations.

I'll say that P5 knew its audience and pandered fucking hard to them, hence the very high metacritic scores. Maximum self-insert faggotry, stylish visuals, and a mostly great OST is hard to resist to be honest.

yes, i'm not a fan but that doesn't make this game good

>The game is good but I'm too much of a stuck up faggot to admit it


I gotcha

But I said it's good?

it looks edgy paramore green day shit

Your petty little gripes don't make it bad. Plenty of people who are new to the series hopped in and loved it while old fans and reviewers like it as well. Your literally being a contrarian and I'm pretty sure you haven't even played it.

Do you really want to know what's shit?
The unskippable victory jog joker does after every battle. It's like seven seconds per fucking fight and there's no way to speed it up.

It's aesthetic as fuck but squarely mediocre as far as readability and instant recognition of words / prompts go, and the overall usability isn't any better than average.

So it looks great but it's pretty average practically.

none of those things make it a good rpg
>petty little gripes
you mean the most important aspects of an rpg?
protip it isn't the story

Then what makes a good RPG numbnuts?

Everything is there clear and looks great, so yeah good menu design.

its a disguised loading screen. it is better than nothing.

>eyecatching
>stylish
>animated between menus
>suits the style of the game
>everything in big bold text right in the middle where your eyes are drawn
>quick and easy to access what you need and flip through menus
>easy to instantly realize what submenu you are in because the character has a different pose for each

It is excellent.
The only thing I think it needs is a quicker way to Save/Load rather then going into System down the bottom.

what games do you like m8

It's one of the best, most original UIs in the past 5 years

Yes, it is good menu design.
Everything is easily readable and pops out at you stylishly. The only thing you need from a menu is that it's not a cluttered cluster fuck and you can read and tab through whatever. P5's menus does this and does it with a stylish presentation that honestly wasn't needed. Every menu in this game puts other games menus to shame.

This. I would rather watch the random animations of your party members and Joker running then a black screen with a logo in the corner.

>haha guys it's shit

>when it was first shown off 2 years ago there was universal jaw dropping at how stylish the UI and menus were

you people are so pathetic. stop trying to be a contrarian now that it's popular. no matter how much you think you're being objective, you aren't. you're just seeking justification to maintain your hipster status.

I'm playing P3P again after playing P5 and yea the 5's menus were pretty and nice. Most of them even had unique music. FeMC route is fun but the game feels very bland in retrospect.

>go to clinic to buy healing items
>greeted by this

My dick.

Dead space count?

Are those real or did someone spend 200 hours in photoshop for one meme picture?

so now you fags actually talk about the game and not waifus and the thread is about the menu? I hate this place

the fuck do you even want?
