I'm super excited as well. Have only seen videos of this game, but they have totally revamped the game but also kept the charm and what makes it fun. This is how you do a return to an old franchise.
I haven't been on these forums for *years* but the sad reality is that GiantBomb is no longer the enthusiast, high energy love of video games website it once was. I don't expect them to be totally on board with everything, as they weren't like that previously as well, but there's been a lot of 'yucking people's yums' for too long and for me (and many people it seems), hearing that negativity is just not what I need in the world right now. Let's play some games and enjoy them and be excited for the possibility of what's coming up next.
As of maybe a day or two ago, I can't seem to play any videos (premium or not) from the app. I've tried delinking my account and it's still not working. Any ideas?
Just a general question to the Dev Team or GB itself; was there any user testing, iterative design or customer research on this redesign? Looking at everyone's feedback, it's 80% negative, 15% 'meh' and maybe 5% positive and many of these problems could have been picked up before going right to developing it.
I'm finding it difficult to navigate around. I rarely ever visit the website (I mostly consume GiantBomb through YouTube) and only visit to check out Giant Bomb Premium videos. But even that supposedly simple task is quite difficult - it took me longer than I hoped to find the Civilisation video. The information architecture is just a bit wonky for people who come here for Premium content.
I've noticed the chat is blowing up every time I open it. I go to https://www.giantbomb.com/chat/popout on Safari, Chrome, Firefox (all in incognito as well) and it all crashes my tab. It'll work for a few seconds and then freezes and then my browser asks to kill the process.
