It's a menu that you'll see for a few seconds before you play the game. Y'all are just looking for shit to b***h about.
>what is Ganker and boot times
>3000 fricking threads over the last 10 years
Its a twitter thread.
Hello twitter!
Such a small thing, that you see before anything else, and they couldn't bother to make it right?
>Y'all
Fr fr, y'all can't behave.
you robots always need some twitter homosexuals to tell you what to think.
This board is full of teenagers. It’s how their generation exists, there’s no excuse for all these homosexual millenials though.
Skyrim
Excellent example of a shit game with a shit main menu
Contrarian got filtered. Tale as old as time.
it's nice and understated, Skyrim literally had a pure black screen with fog and the Imperial symbol, the music is what carries Bethesda main menus anyway
I guess Creative Assembly just 'didn't care' about Alien Isolation
What game is this?
READ homie READ
To be fair I like that screens composition more than Starfield’s
yeah same, just making a point, I think Elite Dangerous had a very similar one too
Alien isolation mogs starfields UI in every way though. Bethesda explicitly stated they're going for a NASApunk retro futuristic aesthetic which is reflected in the design of the ships but the UI is the same soulless Apple tier Destiny minimalist look as all other modern games. The isolation planet silhouette with the tiny space station reinforces the games theme of - wait for it - isolation. What does the starfield one speak to? The horizon you'll see that's the closest you'll get to a planet before the prerendered landing cutscene starts?
Actually the Starfield UI is perfectly clean. It has a very nice feel to it. A sort of spaceship touchscreen feel to it. Reminds me of well designed HMI panels. AI's main screen is way worse. I have played AI for approx 8-9 times on the hardest difficulty. The main menu sucks.
Your pic related is actually very nice and much more artistic than Starfield's menu. There's proper composition, a sense of scale, and all the relevant info is grouped together in a clear and readable way that doesn't clash with the rest of the screen.
>all the relevant info is grouped together in a clear and readable way
So it is literally the same as Starfield's?
Im afraid the music might suck in starfield
They've lost their Soule.
Is it Zur again?
anyone else get jumpscared by the glitchy effects in this menu?
Alien and Skyrim have far better start screens than Starfield.
t. Not a snoy
>skyrim main menu
kino
>starfield main menu
meh but kinda kino
>alien isolation menu
KINO
maybe they should add a subway surver minigame to make it more interesting
That got 9million views? What the hell is wrong with the internet
Rage bait
This is way better. The box around the text on the left makes it feel like a Unity title. I have also seen the text you have centered be right above the Bethesda icon and that looks great too.
There was mods to remove that box from 3 other Bethesda games, so expect the same here.
The only thing that would make this better is if the camera was further away from the planet and they used it as part of the logo.
100% better
they don't center the text like this because the sub menus open from the left to the rest of the screen instead of a whole new screen
Grummz is like the guy who made Diablo 2 and WoW so his opinions weight more than normal.
And he's right. The Starfield start screen looks ugly and low effort.
Literally if you scroll past the tweet on your timeline for a millisecond that counts as a "view".
this fricking moron is going to drin fine wine for the next 6 months with this garbo tweet I'm dying
>he thinks elon is actually paying anyone but the top people
No anon. While a very detailed main menu is often indicative of passion, but it's not always the case and thus shouldn't be used as an objective metric.
>picrel is one of the most passionate games I have ever played and just look at how simplistic the menu is
>StarSector is almost exactly the same as starfield but the buttons are on the right side.
>Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is just an enlarged, moving blood decal jpeg
>Previous bethesda games , including New Vegas also has the same main menu layout
>Fromsoft games just plays some music (which is really good) and the main menu is about 5 buttons tinted gold aligned in the middle
on the other hand
>Spore may be an enjoyable game but it definitely didn't live up to the expectations and that game has an insanely good main menu with the spinning galaxy
Having a great main menu is a fantastic addition, but not at all necessary or indicative of the overall game. This entire main menu crying is outright ridiculous.
Starsector and kenshi's main menu are better than Starfelted.
>kenshi
Stationary background, music and your standard menu buttons. With the exception of the introductory shit in the upper right corner, the two menus are virtually the same.
>Starsector
Oh shit, you are indeed correct. I completely forgot how there are ships flying around in the menu if you wait a bit. I concede on this one.
The fact that any of this needs to be explained to anyone in the first place proves how far the world has fallen. You'd have to be moronic to convince yourself this tweet is anything to care about whatsoever.
>Kenshi
>passionate
Chris never cared to finish his game or fix bugs that 100% of players encounter
>new vegas
>vtmb
>fromsoft
All of these fall in the “passionate team overworked” category
Starsector has an awesome main menu with the ships flying around and battling each other
This may be the most forced "controversy" I've ever seen
need to get dem likes and clicks my man
snoys have no other ammo.
>it's not buggy
>it's overall no more woke than the average if not less than average
>it has depth
Sonygays really have nothing left, once we actually have more info they are going to be reaching desperately, maybe start crying about ladders again
you'll see it more and more now that twitter grifters get paid to cause controversy
When you judge a book by its cover and see nothing wrong with that
>seething because a fricking main menu
i would kill myself if i was so pathetic
It's a stupid fricking point. Especially when this has been the standard flare for Bethesda menus since Morrowind.
Imagine having such a shit take that even starfield doomposters are pointing and laughing at your stupidity.
still not buying your game Todd
That's some real deep and thought out insight by that nerd but that's the same start menu they've had since what, Oblivion or Fallout 3? Still not playing that shit though.
There is no controversy, some guy posted something moronic and everybody called him out on it for being a fricking moron.
Starfield is going to be shit no matter what because it's a Bethesda game, not because they kept a fricking title screen simple
Cope harder homosexual. Snoy transBlack folk are not allowed in this thread LMAO
>but did you hear about [homosexual]'s opinion?
who cares?
I don't think I've ever seen this guy have a take that isn't utterly moronic
Whats the difference theyve always had plain menus.
SOVL menu
And their games have always been buggy and shallow
For me it's
Absolutely seething
pretty sure all the complaining is coming from consolegays sitting 10m away from their 52" TV. This looks like a standard PC game main menu.
I like it. It's minimalist.
Farming engagement.
Farming enragement.
Farming engragement.
To be fair, I don't care about the startscreen, but the 30fps are bitter.
he's right but using the word physiognomy to describe a start menu makes him look like an incel
Nah Twitter pays for impressions now so the failed dev is taking advantage of it with shit takes
it's just a start screen lmfao
Nothing posted so far has a patch on the XBC2 title screens, which changed progressively as you went through the game.
I wish XC3 had that.
Nia pushing Rex still is my favorite game title screen ever.
All three Ryza games did that
Loved this in Kotor 2. Seeing the main bad guys be at the title screen as you progress through the game then eventually your main character shows up if you go Dark Side is actual kino.
>using this hack a person to represent the industry
>Minimalism isnt a choice its a factor of work
have a nice day op
>its ok when Nintendo does it
>controversy
Do oyu want a game with 10/10 menu and 8/10 gameplay or a game with a shitty menu and 10/10 gameplay. Dumb Black person.
>truth
>him
Its not the truth and you are a moronic homosexual cattle.
I hope starfield is good but it will absolutely not have 10/10 (or even 8/10) gameplay.
Thats besides the point.
more time spent on the "cover" of the book and less time spent on actually writing the thing is the analogy.
Like PES2008 had the fanciest menus of all PES games before it, but the gameplay was total ass as it was first PES for PS3. And Konami spent more on presentation than on actual gameplay.
>it's okay when Sony does it.
many such cases
He was quickly identified as being a literal Nazi. Shows what kind of people are willing Starfield to fail.
>Everything I don't like is Nazi
It's a stupid take but that is worse
>doesn't even know who kern is
>didn't even know what psyiogonmy was
it was a bad take but people really are looking stupid trying to dig up dirt on one of the few 'decent' people in the games industry.
Jesus what the frick is it about twitter that consistently exterminates neurons?
BOTW has a bland main menu and no one would say that game was made by a team that was rushed or didn't care.
this is what happens when you add paid analytics to twitter
its like Ganker pretending to be moronic for attention, but you get paid for it
doubt it, grummz is actually a ex dev for wow and diablo and he had wild takes before
I'm first to shit on bethesda but what's wrong with it?
the planet being totally obscured does make it look almost TOO simple. it just a black circle with some lens flare.
I hope it's symbolic of how undirected this game is. I hope I'm not the chosen one.
>what is a solar eclipse
im well aware of what that is but visually its fricking boring.
Ahh, so you must have spent too much time staring staring directly into them already, is that it?
>Mark Kern
Washed up hasbeen are trying to get attention again?
I guess Valve doesn't care about any of their games huh.
>comparing an active scene that changes based on your progression in the campaign to just an obscured planet on a dark-blue background
It's kind of depressing how many people have come to the conclusion that the complaint is about the menu text and not the contents of the entire screen.
To be fair there isn't much else there.
Kek Are you actually this pathetic and desperate for some sort of win?
How do you know that Starfields menu screen is not active ie. doesnt change on last planet explored?
Kek, what now homosexual?
Did either of you watch this? It's fake. The fricking ending of the video lists the credits for all the footage lmao
is it 1st of Sept already?
It's to show there's literally nothing wrong with the menu barring the news block
You gonna spend most of your time in menu or are you gonna try to load the game as fast as possible?
Werd how much of a focus is on this when Bethesa games don't have good start screens
Guys who look like this should never use the word physiognomy lol
dude looks like he dropped out of ITT Tech
Looks like that YouTuber homosexual "Father of 5" or some shit like that. Both scum which deserve to be stumped to death.
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
ok now hes just keeping the drama rolling for clicks.
>start screen is indicative of how rushed/passionate the team are
>this has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the game
>I was merely pretending to be moronic!
Poe's Law
>everyone loves the souls series
> they've had 6 games now where it's literally a png of a logo and some orchestral music
>They hated him because he told the truth.
except there are countless examples proving him wrong
at least skyrim had models rotating in fog
post SOVL start screens
Post start menus you actually like.
The changing start menus from Kane and Lynch 2 with the camcorderish footage with environmental sounds and sometimes diegetic Hong Kong pop music in an otherwise scoreless game sets the tone incredibly well. Kane and Lynch 2 is probably the best bad game of all time, if that makes sense.
I remember hating this one. You also had to go through an unusual amount of menus for everything IIRC.
Boomer here. Nostalgia clouds your mind. This shit looks like someone vomited a bunch of stickers all over moron's first Unity project kek
AoE2's menu screen has always been ugly since it first came out. Red alert 2 had a pretty good menu, I especially like how it retains the UI of the actual game and uses the sidebar for menu options
kino
THE BLOOD ON LA HIRE'S SWORD IS ALMOST DRY
>camera changes position and zooms in and out at different objects to portray different menus
Take me back
need todd full 3d scan just standing there like that
This is genuinely one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
>perfectly balances the image
>tasteful eroticism
>is familiar, yet makes me feel things I have never felt before
>immediately feel I am in safe hands as I load my save file
eroticism
and heres the antithesis, a UI made by a professional UI maker for netflix. and its quite possibly the most unusable main menu ever designed.
Netflix UI was good once, but it's obvious the suits got involved and told the UI people to hide how limited the library was as well as implementing their shitty ideas in general.
worst shit is when the game doesnt have a main menu but directly loads into the last save
gta 5 did it
also the real question is how many unskippable splash screens are there before the main menu
>8.8 million views
Holy shit nuke twitter
>text in front of background image
Man, they REALLY didn't give a shit about this game either did they? Will never play such goyslop if they clearly rushed the menu to be comprehensible like this
Yes, that game was rushed as frick. The most rushed shit ever.
smdh he has half a point. The menu itself should be center.
The only reason he did this was to criticize the game without technically breaking embargo. He couldn't outright say "the game is so bad it must have been either hasty shipping dealines or a team that didn't care" so he tried to weasel his way into saying it by trying to make an overly broad statement on start screens.
The only controversy is that literally everyone took his statement on face value like morons and went "uhhm akchtually THIS game"
And in the end what he tried didn't work because he broke embargo anyway and had to delete his tweet
That top right welcome box is the only thing I don't like. Looks like a pop up covering the real start menu which has nice aesthetics.
This fake drama is so fricking dumb it might actually be marketing.
>diablo 4 dev
Hahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahgshahhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahgahahaghahahahgagshahhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahshhshshehehhehehehhr
Good one anon
>Diablo 4
????? He worked on WoW in 2002 and then Firefall, where he blow millions of a bus and got voted out of the company then projected it as a CCP take over and has done nothing in the 19 years since
If it was just the options on the left it'd be fine, nice retrofuture, but the thank you message on the right just clashes and brings the whole thing down
>simple/sleek space UI is le bad
imo, there's nothing wrong with the background. I dig minimalist imagery like that, it's beautiful and artful.
My issue is with the monstrosity of an ad in the top right taking up a huge portion of the screen, stripping away all soul, and the menus on the left. I mean, the menus on the left aren't even vertically centered. Get rid of the gray background, and move that text literally anywhere else.
BEHOLD
win11 theme?
SOVL
homie post a high res without me having to upscale this shi using ai
Mark Kern is the homosexual that killed Warcraft 3 reforged, Retail and Classic WoW with this shit ass descisions.
Also he is a troony Enabler
He also lives rent free in your mentally ill head, lucky him
Hi mark, still asspained that Blizzard and Activision blacklisted your ass from the industry?
Mark Kern never worked on diablo 2, and his only work was WoW and ruining other blizzard's games
also
>Redditspacing
It's called paragraph breaks and everyone who's not illiterate uses them.
>Still Redditspacing
Reddit auto-double spaces on 1 keystroke of enter. The Ganker idea of "Redditspacing" makes no sense because a redditor would never intentionally double space a post on Ganker, that would have made 4 line breaks where they come from.
Come up with new deflection excuses for when you have no argument.
It’s nu-composition. It’s mostly that they organize their writing into single sentence paragraphs. I think they think it helps accentuate each sentence but it just makes them look like 4th grade morons.
This guy should install mods and see how menus matter little.
Holy shit they rushed this game.
that actually looks good though
Now just remove the giant sword in the middle and it's perfect. It's all I need for a videogame.
uh
>tells you the main problem and the final act location without actually spoiling anything
That's a legit well-designed main menu.
I love when games or movies do that. Early on subtly establish everything that will be known, but no one will ever notice. It's a fun re-watch bonus
>tells you the main problem
you're right, your post did in fact point out that you're the problem
skyrim's main menu has even less going on kek.
>I AM INHERENTLY NEGATIVE IN MY THINKING AND I MUST BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH
That really is a dogshit main menu.
It's literally the same shit as all their recent menus.
do we need to check fallout 4, skyrim and fallout 4 strat menu?
Fallout 4 had a neat panning view of the garage (that you can't actually build like that in-game) at least.
The meltdown people are having over this is great. You'd think people would just ignore a shit take, but they obsessively attack the moron. The sheer amount of fanboyism is fascinating. I can spend hours reading the quotes and wonder to myself if these people are sentient.
>Mark Kern
Jesus fricking Christ this clown never stops
Really I think it all comes down to the loss of skeuomorphism
Guy in the OP is still a gay though
People are complete morons if they think the problem here is minimalism.
1. The Y position of menu on the left isn't aligned with the central logo. Laziness.
2. The path the eye takes is not smooth, we first see the logo and then the eye moves diagonally top-right or horizontal-left. In a well composed menu the text is below the logo, and the eye smoothly descends with minimal effort
3. There are at least 3 different fonts on this screen
4. The curvature of the planet is obliterated by the huge ass banner. If it has to be there for advertising horse DLC in the future it needs to be on the left.
5. The boxes around the text are gross, there's nothing objectively wrong about them but they look ugly and very default UI
It does scream the UI devs are low IQ and don't understand composition. The Skyrim menu was significantly better than this
>9m views
>only 3k likes
So this is what the kids call getting ratioed
Nobody is gonna give a shit about the menu. Grummz is a has-been with 2 failed games under his belt with a third on the way. He’s obsessed with twitter clout and guzzles Elon cum regularly. His opinion means shit.
firefall bus
Holy soulless
>menu screen already loads your latest save game
>menu screen already loads up save file into game
>ready your credit card title screen
tod you crazy bastard
Ayo someone got a physiognomy breakdown on this?
what the frick
>controversy
Fun fact: In the mid-00s this word suddenly started being used by every media organization at the same time.
The fact that there's a "controversy" over the main menu of a game being no worse than any other game on the market proves my point that people have become scatterbrained morons desperate for fake controversies and trivial drama to pretend there's some point or meaning to their worthless cattle lives. Something caused a mass shift in psychological profile to turn everyone mentally into a gossiping high school girl.
>to turn everyone mentally into a gossiping high school girl.
grim fate,
Divide and conquer against the lower classes after Occupy Wall Street, controversy isn't the only word.
Fixed.
now let's see if the ost can carry the title screen
That's literally what menu looks like until you press any button.
well, that's just your opinion, dude.
Donny, you’re out of your element
>Main menu
>Controversy
...what? It's a fricking menu
Didn't you hear? Mark Kern found out that you can do palmistry on a main menu to determine the entire games development quality
It looks boring but Skyrim's was boring too so I don't know what people expected
>30 fps
Lol. Lmao
>Playing games on a fricking console
What century is this?
sorry bro my eyes can't see after 30 fps.
>pretending you didn't buy series S like all the other poorgay third worlders with buyers remorse
Kek
console 60fps+ was good while it lasted.
Dreamcast was based and every game was 60fps. Moviegame homosexualry ruined the industry and that shit should have been left on PC where it was actually enjoyable from time to time instead of infecting the console world which was always about snappy controls and short fun sessions with the homies my mom is my homie and I miss her very much. We never did figure out how to get past that cliff in Simons Quest, but she did beat Zelda 2 on her own
Sorry for your loss anon.
I won't buy the game, but I don't get what's the problem.
Fits with the space exploration theme
>game booklets don't matter
>box art doesn't matter
>title screen design doesn't matter
>main menu/inventory screen design doesn't matter
>HUD design doesn't matter
Individually yes, they don't "matter", but it adds up to making so many games now feel so samey and soulless. I'm beyond tired of the minimalist and functional approach most games use now. Even the most recent Mario and Zelda games are doing this shit. Not really aiming this at Starfield in particular, as a minimalist design genuinely does fit here, but games could be doing a lot more to making unique UI designs that match the game's theme and tone.
This is a new low point for shitters. Who the frick cares about the start menu? People just spam a button to get into the game as quickly as possible and see it for a fraction of a second.
Kern is a fricking moron and everything he has ever been involved with has crashed and burned.
i think he's kind of right. that menu sucks. first of all that text in the top right is awful. second the logo in the middle looks ugly.
That shit in the top right is in Fallout 4 and I think Skyrim SE too. MOTD shit works for live games for upcoming/current events but these games are all offline. The only thing that will change about the game is new DLC, which is already advertised on the platform you play it on before hitting start. The game should just be the game, frick.
Starfield's main menu looks no worse than Elden Ring's, in my opinion.
idgi
Simple and clear title screens are the default nowadays.
Not sure what the twittergay was even saying. Was he mad that the title screen didn't have multiple submenus filled with "news" and microtransaction trash? Which are only found in skinner box games like Destinity anyway.
i think its mor about how absolutely nothing is going on in the background. its just a circle and some bloom
The scaling is a bit weird. Why is the most important element of a main menu ie the actual options so tiny and tucked to the side? Why did they give a generic thank you message so much weight on the main screen? It's bizarre.
>m-muh fuggin menu
That's right
This is what true gamers want
Bethesda is just being lazy
Most modern start menus are boring as shit now why do people pretend like starfield is any different
Dude should be hired by Activision.
He'd fit right in
>Grummz
Dude is the definition of a has-been. Burned every bridge he has in the industry, voted out as ceo of his own company, em8er is basically vapourware at this point, just sits in twitter talking shit to make himself feel better about a failed career.
>Gets called a "dev" by Hines, quotes included
>Spergs out about how he's actually just mad he bought Fallout 76
>Realises this was a shit retort and comes back later with another attempt and that's even worse
Unironically worthy of "cringe", I don't get this moron, he's legitimately one of the dumbest fricking former devs I've ever seen talk about games.
>>Gets called a "dev" by Hines, quotes included
Holy shit Pete is a homosexual himself allot of the times but sometimes he can bring the bants.
I dont really get it.
He's replying to a guy who had a big part moving mountains of cash and one whose success bethesda tries to miserably copy with f76 decades later.
I sometimes don't believe that the guy was an actual dev with the absolutely moronic takes he makes. He even eats up absolutely everything that Elon Musk does and believes that he is haunted by xbox related bots and the chinese.
He wasn't. He was a producer for most projects. His credit on WoW is "manual development and editor. Team Lead"
He was a "team lead" on WoW. That's a very telling title, because there are many team leads for multiple divisions on a project, dude was effectively a middle manager for one part of the games team.
He was then lead for Firefall and CEO. He got booted out by the employees voting because he burned millions on moronic marketing stunts when the game had funding issues.
He lies a lot too. Like he claims the Firefall vote was CCP meddling taking over the company, and then points to funding the game got as proof. Except all Chinese funding was taken and approved while he was CEO.
firefall was a fantastic game in beta. it was ruined by a legitimately schizo lead dev who kept changing the course of development every quarter. the gunplay was fantastic and the crafting was on par with star wars galaxies.
wow also had an infamously nightmarish development with many on the team believing that the game would fail. he is bragging about being the one part of wow that was a huge disaster
Holy autism
He is one of the men responsible for the best start screen ever, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss his opinion.
>criticizes something
>doesn't actually tell what is wrong with it at all
Opinion instantly discarded.
the background has nothing going on.
The most overrated game series of this century so far is a fricking black screen with the games logo. The menu has nothing to do with game quality.
I still think that is the funniest part of it all. It's probably the biggest reason why everyone is shitting on him too because he doesn't say at all how he could possible judge a game based on the title screen. Everyone is posting minimalistic title screens like FF7 or Souls in the replies.
Literally straw grasping holy shit
The "Welcome" box is unnecessary, you have to admit.
It's a news ticker where DLC and updates will be shilled, they've put them in multiple of their games now. Luckily every one got modded out pretty quick.
First time playing a game? Have you actually never played a game before to think the "welcome to launch" box will remain indefinitely?
>Mark Kern
He is a giant homosexual
>"dev"
I fricking love him for writing "dev".
>Hasn't made anything since 2013
I hate Pete but this is fair. Unless he has made several games since then and all search engines are hiding his work since leaving Red 5 Studios.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I googled and found this.
>Flexible goal
So just a way to steal some cash
>4581 Euro goal for a video game
What a fricking blindly transparent scam.
Honestly I respect the hustle, fools and their money and all that.
Holy shit he did overall 3 campaigns, what a fricking hack.
Companies that get bought out by megacorps rarely have any pride in their work, because how can you. It's like a small family owned store that suddenly gets bought out by wallmart.
Rip Bethesda. Bethesda did not want to bring Starfield out for Xbox because it was a much weaker machine, so Microsoft bought out all the shareholders and now they own them and can make them do it even if they have to frick the game up to make it work.
Microsoft even admitted this is why they bought the company, and people still think this isn't going to be a shitshow and have pre-ordered.
At least the rage will be funny I guess.
schizophrenic tier post
>physiognomy
That word doesn't mean what this guy thinks it means.
It hit hard watching this video that the best games on 360 all had virtually the same soulless start screens.
Almost like it really doesn't matter.
Conversely there are some games that range from terrible to mediocre that have some banging menu screens. Shit is so irrelevant.
Are you guys actually agreeing with a twitter user?
There is actually no human being that agrees with Mark Kern. The key to world peace is unifying all people under hate for Mark Kern
Well obviously, the start menu looks like no creative person designed it.
Its like a committee looked at a few templates and hold a vote and went "that space background looks okay, just stuff a menu and context boxes there or something. where? I DONT CARE"
This controversy is forced as frick
Ludo
My schizo brain thinks this is some paid marketing stunt. It's too convinient that it tries to paint fricking Bethesda as the reasonable and honest devs.
Failing that, because Twitter is now monetized, people purposely post moronic takes since having people argue in the comments is easy cash.
I find the menu being misaligned from the logo to be extremely triggering
I find it quite nice, actually.
The menu is jank
The animation is pretty nice actually.
I assume that this thread is an IQ test. Anyone who responds seriously or believes that random idiot on twitter is capable of logic is a moron.
>ugly menu that looks like has been made in ms pain
>pls pre order ad
>pls buy dlc ad
>pls buy my other shitty game ad
>online connection required
holy kek
>controversy
its called marketing
I really do not understand what people are complaining about
Im not even getting the game or like bethesda so i have no dog in this race. But that is such a petty pathetic criticism. Its a standard title screen
Does it show the overall quality of the game? No.
Does it show how much the director cares about detail and their understanding of what the user experience is actually like? Yes.
In gaming we sometimes refer to the "critical path" which is content that every user will probably experience from start to finish. The critical path has to be perfect in terms of function and bugs. The start menu is part of the critical path. Does it have to be amazing? No. Should we spend resources to make it better? Maybe. Will every single user see it more than once? Yes. Will every user see it every time they boot up the game? Yes. Is this important to the director? What the start screen looks like is a representations of the overall "experience" the director has envisioned. If the director doesn't appreciate a good start screen, they probably don't appreciate a good menu either, so we can objectively say Starfield will have SHIT menus just like Skyrim.
Gentlemen, I present to you all the greatest title screen of all time.
Nothing else comes close.
Sorry, but you made a mistake.
Ocarina of Time's title screen doesn't stick around for long enough. Dragon's Dogma's continues to escalate the longer you leave it for.
One of the best title screens I've seen in awhile and I hate Bethesda's games. Simplicity offends the moron.
>game looks so bland and boring people are only talking about the menu
Who cares. botw is the greatest game of all time and the main menu is boring as hell
>Nobody posted the GOAT main menu yet
it looks fine but that shit on the corner looks like a free to play store ad, just take that shit off
There is a reason for that...
They're going to try paid mods again.
>They hated him because he told the truth.
im buying starfield
You mean you pay 70€ on steam instead of playing it on game pass?
>GamePass
I'll pass, not paying $700 just to have access to the game every time I feel like playing it over the next 10 years
uhh you could just play it through once on gp in 1 month even, then not play it because you have other games to play
>Why pay once when you can pay every time you want to replay it
Sorry zoomie, my generation didn't call for the subscription scam.
Not him but I have over 300 hours gameplay time on fricking F4.
Game pass is scam if you plan to play a game more than 100 hours.
>game pass
You'll own nothing and you will be happy.
>a friend is a consoomer prostitute
>get all the subscribtion services like netflix, gamepass, etc. shared with without paying a dime
>post bait
>get 10 gorillion impressions
>get paid out 5 figures in ad revenue due to twitters new shared income policy
What a moron
Simplicity is perfection.
Genericness isnt
like people default to saying "look at skyrim menu, its even simplerer"
But they fail to understand its a meaninful design choice, its unique, impactful and stylish.
SF menu screen background = bland, generic, shit.
The menu look like something an indie dev would use as default option in unity.
AND LOOK AT THE FRICKING "WELCOME TO STARFIELD" SQUARE
Skyrim has fog on a pitch black screen for it's main menu
And Skyrim sucks shit, your point?
There is no controversy. It looks good. Minimalist covers and menus have always been great. Ultima 7 comes to mind. But unfortunately that's probably the only good thing about Starfield. Bethesda's games are very mediocre on their own. You can polish the turd later with tons of mods.
Here's what good box art looks like.
new world did this as well, using max vram sitting at the log in screen, and would melt your gpu. its a very big red flag of incompetence from a developer
the absolute state of modern vidya "journalism" via Forbes
what a hack
It really does look bad. I dont see why people wouldn't agree with his take. Looks like a rush job or the designer is just shit.
NOBODY CARED
MEGA MAN 2 IS FRICKING SHIT
Megaman 2 has a better looking title screen. Toddbros...
looks slick af. imagine being low iq normie who'll get filtered by the title screen. lmao
I think it's literally just the welcome box in the top right. Without it it would be a balanced composition.
The box was probably slapped there by someone else than who designed the screen.
I assume the welcome message is only there when you first boot the game and disappears after few seconds.
Fr fr no cap no cap I was trying to play FF7 and I almost puked wen saw the starting menu and the the worst part I was pressing the x button for 10 minutes and didn't do anything fuking scam game
fixed
>i have to believe everything my eceleb is saying
frick this board kys all of you vermine
Talking about physiognomy, let's see his fricking physiognomy. Oh look, he has the physiognomy of a israelite rat. Which means his opinion is fricking irrelevant. Every opinion you will ever have will come with the asterisk. *I have a weak physiognomy and I look like an ugly fat hairless rat. I'm a balding israelite.
Meanwhile Todd Howard mogs the frick out of this dysgenic freak. With his sharp, chiseled jaw, his full head of hair. His strong browline. His beautiful blue eyes. This homosexual grummz has no right to say ANYTHING about Starfield.
cant decide what is more moronic. This or the completely made up outrage about there being religion in the game.
Ahh, now that's a loading screen.
title screen*
It's goddamned Bethesda. The FRICK were you expecting?
This game completely mind broke snoys.
I have never seen such a moronic fake controversy in my life.
