Cool GUIs
Brandon Murphy
Ryan Rodriguez
I fucking hate the "HUD's actually a holographic projection on your glasses!" meme the games after Crysis have used.
Give me proper HUDs with good, distinct design instead.
Jack Rogers
Samuel Ross
Literally everything in P5 is sexy and stylish as fuck.
Owen Morales
no hud best hud
Parker Walker
True dat
Xavier Martin
Aiden Williams
still one of the best, devs must be retarded to not do this kind of shit more often
Brandon Brooks
>Minimap and HP bars are slanted
Fucking shit UI always gave me aids
Also this
Eli Gutierrez
Not only does that design not work in practically anywhere else (meaning the back-meter), but just about ALL over-shoulder shooters now use some sort of fake holograms.
For horror games, visible MC suffering and wounds > HP meters.
Colton Campbell
Slick af
Brayden Powell
not gui but still cool
Daniel Kelly
GUIs include HUDs but also option menus and whatnot
John Bennett
Ian Wilson
what game?
Luke Lopez
Echo
Parker Walker
I actually loved it in Breakdown. At the halfway point your hud lifts with the glass of the memory pod youre in. First half if the game is a VR replay. Second half has no hud
Ayden Cooper
I miss dead space. I want a new one.
Austin Allen
Hard reset had a fucking cool main menu
Nathaniel Morales
I am of the opinion that the Witcher 3 was bad, I paid 60$ and only played 2 hours.
Oliver Rogers
Obligatory.
Jaxon Russell
Yes, it's such brilliant HUD design to make the character's back and ass cover half the screen.
Owen Cruz
PC vs. console basically?
Brandon Campbell
lol
Carson Jenkins
TW2-3 were both console trash for the wider audiences. Never has one game IP dropped the ball as fast as The Witcher.
Kayden Hernandez
if only they spent half the time they did on the gameplay as they do the inventory menus.
Benjamin Morgan
the style is nice, but I find it to be an eyesore to sort through
Mason Gray
TRY OUT HTE NEW ONE
DARK SOULS 3

Name me one JRPG with better turn-based combat than Jagged Alliance 2 or name me one JRPG with better level design than Deus Ex.
Heck, you couldn't even name me one JRPG with better writing than Planescape: Torment despite JRPGS being story-focused to the point that game like Persona 5 have 50+ hours of cutscenes.
Michael Brooks
DOOM has horrendous UI that takes up 20% of the screen
Jaxson Sullivan
Maybe not cool, but comfy as fuck
Joshua Campbell
fuck off mate. It's fucking brilliant, and does not "obscure" anything.

This speaks to how the different genres developed.
For JRPGs, the most influential game was Wizardry, a dungeon crawler that in its most popular versions used white text against a blue background, which is why you see that exact style of interface in almost every JRPG.
With WRPGs, Wizardry wasn't as much as big of an influence because they always drew from tabletop games. However, at some point Dungeon Master was released, a game where you could use the mouse to interact with the environment and drag and drop objects from the environment into your inventory, and vice versa. This led to a very audiovisual interface where everything was conveyed through graphics and sounds rather than text.

>DOOM has horrendous UI that takes up 20% of the screen
It doesn't, though even that would be better than modern FPS where your gun takes up a quarter of the screen.
Christopher Hernandez

Parker Morgan

Noah Peterson

>No option to disable only certain unnecessary parts of it

Jace Morales
For all it's faults, the physical map/gps was brilliant
Elijah Walker
That was legit a sick feature.
Isaac Reyes
Terrible HUD. From that pic only the health, armor and ammo indicators are necessary. Rest are pointless clutter.
Hudson Ramirez
It was intentional to make you feel more claustrophobic, same as RE4
Brayden James
Eh, the minimap we got in Far Cry 3 is one of the few things I'll admit was a good change.
Christopher Sullivan
Juan Carter
Wouldn't a first person perspective be better suited for that?
The over the shoulder view is just clunky and unimmersive.
Isaac Clark
They're literally removing for the new game because they found that everyone just glued their eyes to the minimap all the time and didn't bother actually exploring the world, and they're right
>inb4 ubishill
Caleb Carter
It obscure the game retard, you probably think ultima underworld has good UI too and that takes 70% of the screen
So you rather have UI cover the screen than a weapon you are using in gameplay
Landon Miller
Every piece of art in Diablo 2 was perfection
Lucas Green
Eh, they could reduce the information the minimap gives in order to reduce the 'eyes glued to it' problem. Far Cry 3's has collectables, shops, enemies, and everything. It shows so much and that's why people look at it so much. I want to use the minimap for navigation, and navigation only. Put the roads and shops on it and tell me where's north and I'm good. Even something like GTA3's minimap is good enough for me. I've been playing games for 20 years and I can safely say I'm terrible at navigation and most games aren't built with landmarks like in the real world. So a system like FC2 where I had to stop and pull out a map frequently was a real pain in the ass for me.
Tyler Gutierrez
looks like if Windows Explorer were made in medieval times

Hail to you, Champion
Xavier Powell
I like the concept of it honestly, but I'm sure the execution isn't that great
Connor Davis
The ingame font sometimes bothered me. The '5's look like they need an overhaul.
David Perry
>Wouldn't a first person perspective be better suited for that?
you've never played either dead space, or any kind of fps. shut the fuck up.
Hudson Wright
Why do you jump straight to hostility instead of explaining the situation to him? Jesus fucking Christ
I think the point the user's trying to make is that since the health and shit exists on the character, there's more of a struggle to read as items from the game world block it, or the contortions of the character block it

Yeah, there are some flaws. Like, they didn't implement drag and drop system, search bar, view toggle (switching from list view to tiles view) and toolbar shouldn't have been on the bottom.
