Dude, the PS5's UX and UI troubles are nothing in comparison to the Xbox S. The S is a good system but if you want to see amateur hour on the UX front worse than the S, you are going to have to play EA Sports MMA.

I actually like some of sony's hosed up UI experiments like the XMB and whatever the gently caress was going on with the Vita's UI but the "activities" poo poo and the PS5 UI in general, is insanely bad.

I couldn't believe how weird and just slightly off the PS5 menu felt in every way compared to PS4, I just want to turn it on and see a grid of my games and like a settings menu off to the side but they've made this about as unintuitive and obnoxious as possible

I wasn't even a big fan of the PS4 UI due to my unhealthy love of the XMB but good god is the PS5 UI just worse in every possible aspect.

I actually don't mind the current xbox UI that much apart from the prevalence of ads on the front screen.

The fact that you can't press up to wrap to the bottom of any menu kills me. And you have to do that to close *any* game. This is 2024 and Microsoft still has billions (thousands of millions) they won't spend getting poo poo right that my indie dev buddies get right on their first try.

Rrgh.

Dunno if I'm just used to it at this point but my PS5 just has recently played games at the top and I press button on one of those and it works? And everything else is in the library.

Yeah, PS is only *slightly* wonky but they have been fixing it.
Perhaps more slowly than they should, but they *have* been fixing it.

Videogames and cooking are my favorite hobbies so I think about these sorts of things a lot and take them seriously.

Yeah, there's a lot of crap on the screen that I don't need. But the stuff I do need is all there and is perfectly clear so I don't care that much.

The whole 'activities' thing seems like someone wanting an obvious hook to fast loading and forgetting that people play games other than CoD

The one time I tried it it popped up a big warning saying to use my save game to avoid loving up progress lol

It reminds me of the Vita's "LiveArea" gimmick in that there's probably a handful of games that actually use it to its "full potential" and most others don't really care

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The PS5 UI is bad, but just like the bravest of PC gamers, I boldly go over one screen and click on a different app to play a video game sometimes.

A. Folders. Dear god give me my folders back.
B. To be able to move / delete game icons off the home screen.

I really liked the Jagged Crown quest. Kinda reminded me of Aliens: A bunch of marines imperials goes on what seems like routine mission, until they slowly begin to realize that something is wrong and then all hell breaks loose. One of the idiot imperials even managed to wake the draugr sitting on the throne while wearing the crown.

Nintendo Switch had a system update that added folders but theyre strangely difficult to access so I only accidentally ever see them

not sure what the point was other than to say that they technically exist :confused:

I found it helpful for making a folder full of multiplayer games since my library is so massive that it helps to have that stuff easily sorted for when I have pals over. Other than that, though, yeah the implementation is kinda wack.

Did they ever balance patch it? I vaguely recall it dying out with the competitive people since one of the DLC characters had a 50/50 mixup into lethal damage at all times

Maybe you'd spend more time on the home screen if there was a dancing skeleton on it?

Ooh yeah this game is a hidden gem. One of the times UBISoft gets it right when they are not trying to make an open world game. As far as I know its still being supported too with content updates.

Yeah, I would rather just have Final Fantasy 17 at this point. Don't really want it to become a trend to just remake every single game imaginable. We dont need a remake of all retro Final Fantasy games.
