For what it's worth I think this year he finally did it.

Mostly devoid of truly bad cringe and just legit was a good show this year overall. Even awards themselves felt like the main event rather then just a byproduct for trailers.

Massive front page redundancy, initial space taken up by huge banner image taking the whole screen, minimalising any useful information you could have gleaned at a glance; basically requiring extra scrolling every time; categories I will never use and can't hide; top menu to extremely top level 3 categories, instead of well showing actual categories themselves for video and audio; everything requires more clicks to get to; mobile podcasts pages are a pain; video's autoplaying when idon't want them to.

I literally have a bookmark of the old bombast premium page saved on the down low on my mobile because it takes me 1 click to download a podcast instead of 3 and not dealing with the awful UI that insists starting to play it instead of opening up options; it still gets auto updated and I keep praying no one will notice and I can just keep using it.

So, ye ... ye I would.

At least with the way it is currently.

Just got it, liking it so far, getting used to the controls etc.

Small tip for anyone else getting it on PC, turn AA down to "Low", this actually disables AA fully and the reason you would want to do this is that the game uses one of those super shitty AA types that makes everything blurry as fuck like if you had beer goggles on, with AA off the game looks much much better.

The game is also having no issues for me (so far) maintaining a steady 60 with everything else maxed out at 1440p (this is on a regular 1080)

Yes, for one I put very little stock in reviews these days as to how very little of it is likely to apply to my gaming preferences.

Secondly Darksiders 3 has been a long tome coming, a series that I very much played multiple times through, so whether I'll like it or not I sure damn well am going to play it regardless.

So Microsoft went ahead and put the clamps on a huge chunk of the crpg market in one fell swoop huh. Yeaaa, I don't see this backfiring on the fans of these types of games in the future, at all ... (this will be an interesting post to revisit)

Here's hoping Owlcat makes Kingmaker work for them and pursues this space for a long time now. And maybe Larian guys get a bit more serious with their storytelling and class design.

Also que inXile getting merged (or rebranded) into Obsidian in about 5-6 years tops, it'll start off with some help on a project or some joint co developing, and at the end the teams will giving an interview about how super happy they are to join forces and be working together now and that it's all for the best. Not that I have any particular fondness for inXile but still.

Maybe I'm too skeptical, maybe, but watching the business end of this industry for the past twenty odd years, being skeptical has borne out nine times out of ten, unfortunately.

Even though I use the black version exclusively, the white options needs to come back.

I fully understand people who say that they are having an accessibility issues and/or have a hard time reading on the site or it's bad for their eyes. A persons eyesight is a fickle thing, yet a serious one when it has strain put on it. Having been in similar situations myself and having to simply forgo or put down games who's text was for example too small, or too blurry, or overdid chromatic aberration; at some point the result can become: "I'm simply not going to consume this content"

Where are the premium bombcast and beastcast versions?

Edit: found it eventually, maaaan, gotta say not a fan of this whole thing, having big second thoughts right now

and of course the toggle doesn't save .... come, on!

It's a huge step up from the Planes imo. Too much stuff to just rattle off atm. Lovin it.

Some few issues out of the gate but nothing that's overly detrimental.

It's not even just the Live content it seem, with the livestream off now the whole initial page is taken up by another single video promo.

What the hell happened to categories inside video and podcast tabs???

who ... what ? how is this a thing that happened, mind boggling

EDIT: (ok so I found the categories are inside the shows section of each tab, great so the redesign added an extra step and an extra page load to going where I want to go, isn't this some kind of website design sin 101 that people go to web hell for?)

I open a homepage and the entire thing is just covered by a Live Now screen (that also shows nothing); there is no actual information I can look at or parse at a glance, unlike on the previous site. Fancy shit over giving a user actual proper information is awful. No ifs or buts. Design should serve usability, not itself.

I don't want to see the same image covering the entire front page of the screen every time I visit the site and nothing else of value. Full stop.
