The new site, the new smell, its all.... dark and modernish... like 1up.
I like the new stuff though, but it is moving a bit slow cause of new release, but I hope it gets to speed sometime. Other than that, it going well so far :)!
is it me, or do we need emoticons?

#2 Posted by suneku (2997 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the darkness, it's easy on the eyes

#3 Posted by Myon (19 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Seems promising. The layout is really disorganized. I'm not a fan of the dark look either, so I hope that they release more skins soon.

#4 Posted by ankyon (30 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

yeah a bit slow still but looks fine to me. don't need no emoticons thank you :D


#5 Posted by Oriental_Jams (3063 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

We definitely need emoticons.

#6 Posted by Aarny91 (3857 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Very nice :D

#7 Posted by Nobility (295 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

We need Lithium emoticons. STAT!

#8 Posted by Canadian (384 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

How do you put images in your post without uploading them to the site? I've been too lazy to find out, and its been bugging me.

#9 Posted by Sharvie (93 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like it. It's a bit faster than it was this morning.

#10 Posted by CleverLoginName (678 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Server seems more responsive. Lot of work for just 4 dudes.

#11 Posted by whipple (23 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the dark colors... it is running pretty slow though. At least it's on.

#12 Posted by WorldsFastestShrimpPeeler (458 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Dark is nice. It's faster than how it was in the morning.

#13 Posted by sdodd02 (722 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, it's a ton faster than it was just a few hours ago.

#14 Posted by Batman (1016 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yes emoticon's are a must.  GB can do without indifferent smiley though, he was spammed pretty badly.

#15 Posted by ManlyBeast (994 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the site. All we need is emotions and sigs : D

#16 Posted by GigaWyvern (122 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It seems that it isn't a good friend of Opera yet.

#17 Posted by Absurd (2934 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I love the friggin' site...I'm a bit mad that everyone got so far ahead in posts when I was one of the top last night...DAMN YOU BED!

Premier, nice to see you here
Im liking it more and more, but Ill still spend most of my time over at gamespot

#20 Posted by Nightkiller93 (173 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Love it so far can't wait to get into some interesting conversations with my fellow Giant Bombers.(now we sound like suicide bombers) =P

#21 Posted by bededog (20 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It's gone decently enough to keep me here for a bit. I'm hoping the forums become a bit more organized and that emotions are added soon.

#22 Posted by Mordok44 (173 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the darkness on it, its nice and simple :)

#23 Posted by Bennyishere (1685 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I had a lot of time-outs earlier, but it's working smoother now. They still need to tweak things, but I'm sure they're hard at work.

#24 Posted by mr_korean (610 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I would just like it if it didn't seem so disorganized but i guess they're new

#25 Edited by Ravey (304 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Some of the design stuff isn't quite there yet, like not being able to reupload images. That would help a lot, I noticed there were watermarks on 4 of my screenshots so I had to delete them and reupload them. I wonder if they could have some kinda cropping tool implemented?

Also when you delete your own posts, it should just be deleted completely and it definately shouldn't say it was "deleted by a mod".

The speed issues causes the browser to hang forever and it's annoying to have to write the article elsewhere and then when it crashes, having to fix the formatting and reinsert images again. When the site went down momentarily earlier, it was pretty fast for like 5 minutes.

Having the "suggested" name thing popup 1- kinda sucks and 2- I sometimes end up clicking it when i'm searching. Drop-downs are great and are easier to organise.

When submitting games, i've got one that has a blank spot because it was approved but then someone else filled the same spot.

Overall, it's pretty good though.

#26 Posted by m1k3 (1285 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

its been going slow this whole day... probably from all the users. This is still beta right?

#27 Posted by Karmum (11468 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The color and layout is new, and more pleasing to my eyes.

#28 Posted by Guided_By_Tigers (8020 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Don't like the layout or the way the forum is set up.

#29 Posted by MoldOnHold (627 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like it, but it does take a while to get used to.

#30 Posted by Diego (134 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

its fantastic, in fact, i like it much more than GS....
its so awesome

#31 Posted by Whight_Knight (707 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Moving a little slow sometimes, but I've gotten used to the layout and I'm liking it overall.

#32 Posted by error11 (79 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It's alright. Gotta get used to it.

#33 Posted by mattz (33 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I prefer the dark scheme but things could be a bit more organized. All in all I'm loving Giant Bomb.

#34 Posted by henjin (829 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like this nice dark theme, its easy on the eyes...Although it may not be the same as other sites, you have to expect it can't be perfect because it just launched and its still in BETA

#35 Posted by Julian_jr (418 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It's very slow. :(

#36 Posted by Aaron_G (1572 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the site's feel. Getting used to the site's layout and design will take some getting used too.

Yeah...how is 1up dark and modernish...the whole site is white and they have like pixel text everywhere...so really it is light and retro...lol
#38 Posted by Pete (65 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like it, definitely still has a lot of work that needs to be done, though.  But of overall, I'm enjoying the site.  I'm sure in a few months, the site won't look anything like it does, with all the new features that will be added, hopefully.

#39 Posted by Termite (2393 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

When I first got on, which was really soon after the site launched, it was slow as hell.

Now it's fine though

#40 Posted by Kevin (369 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It's looking like GB needs more moderators. In the beginning, and by beginning I mean first hour, my edits were being went through within an hour. Now it's been around 9 hours for one of my pending submissions.

Also some forum topics just need to be locked.

#41 Posted by kornholio360 (280 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Darkness is good.

#42 Posted by Sodam_Insane (34 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like it so far

Seriously, I wonder how many of them will get more then 3 hours of sleep tonight. But they'll f'n love it. I'd love launching a site with this much activity. They must be pumped.
#44 Posted by Euryb (108 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I think it's amazing. The only problem i see is that they'll probally need an army of people working around the clock approving all of the page additions.

In GS it was the same way.
#46 Posted by Caje (138 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I like the dark colours. Light websites hurt my eyes.

#47 Posted by Overrated_Hero (238 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It's doing pretty well for the first day.

#48 Posted by twenty0ne (3070 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago
Well, it was decent until I saw a thread I wish I didn't see.
