He's right, you know. The UI in Elden Ring is irredeemable garbage

post the webm of the settings menu.

he's a literal diversity hire that belongs entering data in excel somewhere.

>Must sting for an UI designer to realize that the best implementation of an UI is when there is no or very little UI.
That was the trend in the late 2000s. Everyone was big on having the least amount of UI as possible and if you did have to have UI then have it be part of the game world, e.g. Dead Space.

Meanwhile every non-japanese game has recycled the same interface for the last fifteen fucking years

He's right
Elden ring UI is completely soulless compared to ds1 one's

>NOOOOOO WHY ISN'T MY SCREEN ABSOLUTELY COVERED IN ARROWS, MARKERS, MINIMAPS AND OTHER OBNOXIOUS SHIT THAT TAKES AWAY ALL ATTENTION FROM THE PLAYER WHICH SHOULD BE PUT TOWARDS LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL FUCKING WORLD

It is bad, but selling 12mil showed him that his job doesnt really matter at all.

Is this bait? He's talking about UX, not UI. Why are there no replies here stating this? UX means user experience, UI means user interface. Hello? Is Yea Forums really this retarded?

>No color variation
>All symbols follow the exact same square shape theory
>Text is thin as fuck and barely legible
This is actually shocking, and these fucks dare complain about Elden Ring?

It matters but it matters only to the extent all he has to do is make a UI that doesn't completely suck. Nobody will ever play a game because it has a great UI.

and its an immersive choice

Define "user experience."

It's an artsy fartsy term taught in universities that means nothing. When they say "user experience" they mean "what we THINK you want."

>consistency is bad
Are you actually retarded?

It's literally the exact same layout of UI elements though?

Garbage westoid devs opinion doesn't matter

UX designer is a meaningless position that only exists to shuffle niggers and holes into.

"user experience" is a completely made up thing. UI is at least something real so people can talk about this in an objective manner.

Consistency in UI elements IS bad when every single one of these options is meant to be used rapidly. You're not meant to be looking at them like it's a fucking book, they're snap selected when you're killing enemies. If you can't tell which is which within a ten-frame window, the UI has failed.

>Running away from the enemy team
>Gunfire all around me
>Trying to shoot back
>Need help
>Open up QUICK COMMUNICATION menu
>Have to sit there for five seconds looking for the "please help" option because arr rook same

Listen, I'm not saying UX isn't a retarded made-up position for retards, but it's not the same thing as UI. Calling UX "UI" is an insult to UI.

It's not consistency, it's intelligible for the sake of following a shitty design doc whipped up by some lowlife who went to school for 5 years to learn how to draw squares.

The pngs are differents

Never played Death Stranding, but from what I've seen of it, the UI is some of the most cluttered I've ever seen.

NTA but I can think of one thing, the spell memory system is still total garbage, literally no way to change spell order unless you equip amd unequip all spells. That can be easily fixed but From just have to fuck it up

It's actually really intuitive. Though I never understood the purpose of manually changing around equipped items because the auto-sort never once failed to get it right and does what would take you a minute in two seconds.

>Though I never understood the purpose of manually changing around equipped items because the auto-sort never once failed
Because in some edge case during testing, possibly before the sort algorithm was in its final irritation, it failed to do its job.
That IS a important part of the User Experience: If the auto tool doesn't work, you need a option

Name a recent game youve played that had "intrusive UI" and you couldnt disable anything you wanted to disable.

ER has clunky and unintuitive ui, it's trash. Menus are trash too. UX is bad.

t. Horizon/Battlefield dev lmao

>Silence! I keel you!
haha

it's UX (user experience) and encompasses more than just UI and yes his whole professional career is a lie, he just tries to spoonfeed whilst elden ring expects more from players (it's still very streamlined though)
my only gripe desu I wish it had a quick open menu button like botw when you find a new item so you can figure out what it does straight away rather than flicking through menus to find the icon again

this is what some devs think is good design

Yes, he is right, but not in the way you think: he is right in the fact that nobody cares about UI.

Retarded Yea Forumsbabbies can't tell the difference between UX and UI.

the only thing that i'd like to be different is having a more clear visual indicator for stagger, like just copy the poise meter from sekiro and the game would be vastly improved

UX designers are absolutely the most useless people at any company. They consistently want to streamline and obscure important functionality in your apps because they favor designing for a layperson.

I manage web development teams and I won't allow our UX designers in our planning meetings anymore. They are worse than trash.

Grow up, user experience is making things intuitive and easy to understand, it applies also to your household appliances and your kitchen lay out. For example, from which side is it more convenient to open your fridge? If it opens from less convenient side then that's bad and you should fix it.

Confirmation window when you wana resummon Torrent is brain-dead UX decision. IT's BAD , OBJECTIVELY. YES I WANT NO CONFIRMATION, And From should've known it, by not being such shit UI designers.

Does anyone have the silent hill 2 webm?

Neither can UX designers, because they frequently referred to UI elements when talking about the UX. Like how it's "dumb" that the B button is what exits the map, and not select, failing to understand the game doesn't pause and the FIRST thing the average player does under panic is mash B to roll.

im sure it doesnt change location. It will always be at same spot.

Yup, that’s Ubisoft alright.

If the player doesn't understand your quick select menu and memorize it perfectly without thought within the first interaction, you have failed. We have countless examples of these menus over decades of games. Bright varying colors, unique icons with different shapes, large and easy to read text, that easy.

From the side I choose to fix the door like every modern fridge which gives you the option.

because user experience is a nebulous term like gamefeel that doesn't mean anything on its own, and all the people talking about user experience are usually just talking about use interface

Yeah no, that's obnoxious. Once you memorize it, you dont want it to look annoying when you open it up for 1000th time.

Precisely. The best compliment for a UI is if nobody ever talks about it.

???? the ui is almost perfect

I think we should put UX and UI back together and call it "UI".

>Urgh, varying colors for simple UI widgets is obnoxious because... it just is!
>Literally every good UI uses varying colors to differentiate groups or options

never played the game
no fucking way this is real, right?

I generally agree, BUT to be fair... I really, really enjoyed Pokemon Heartgold back in the day because it had a really good UI.

He's absolutely right

>UX
what the fuck is this gay made up term? People only started using it a month ago for no reason

that is THE Silent Hills Playable Trailer 2 herself

Here is the correct one bro

Based. I lament the loss of functionality and menus in everything over the years, these faggots have completely stripped us of any agency without going to irritating degrees of effort.
UX is meant to be more important than ever, yet spyware Cortana search function is worse at finding your files than Windows XP's search function. Many such cases. Sad!

Attached: 1638712017932.png (370x214, 136.49K)

exactly, but some things cant be changed, like where your light switch is, where things are in general. Some of these decision devs need to make to make experience better. Dark letters on white background? Or bright letters on dark background? This counts too, and people do care about it. There are a lot of things to be annoyed by in ER and how little customization for the experience there is.

KBM could be so much better with proper customization, and be even superior to controller for some playstyles.

No, but it's clear that you are.
Sorry, DICE nigger, but your game sucks.
Keep pissing your pampers.

ui is the visual elements of the game
ux is the interaction a user has with the ui and other elements of the game

This trash look like fucking mobile game fucking shit, and all these gook grindfest MMOs too, literally all of them have the fucking same UI, fuck the west and fuck the gook

It literally shows a different icon when youre gonna resummon torrent and consume flask, retard. And it probably says so in tutorial.

UX is non-existent twitter term which doesn't mean anything

ok.

User experience faggots are why you can't jump to individual pages when searching for something on youtube and instead have to suffer through scrolling. It's video game web 2.0 shit.

He's right in that UI in video games is unimportant BS and the only ones raving about it are UX designers who want to justify their existance and people trying to sound smart. No one else gives a fuck unless it is outright game breaking.

It's the same layout and functionality but the artstyle on it is obviously different.

its real

lol i thought they started using ux because of more retarded gender bullshit

it's readable and appealing but looks like it belongs on an iphone
thanks skyrim

This inventory legitimately spoiled the game for me and made it difficult to continue. Nearly everything looks identical unless it's hovered over, and even then it's barely different.

souls ui was already perfect and miles better than any other game has ever done

>mid combat
>user thinks its acceptable to have to look to the bottom left at an icon to check if hes going to use a flask or not

just add the possibility to equip from inventory screen
and thats it
thats my only complaint

>Good UI

UX is not the same as UI though

i thought they killed him?

ux is such a fucking meme
if you don't get used to it an hour into the game you're a brainlet retard that can't adapt to anything to save his life

>No one else
ADHD fags like you are insufferable, you just assume everyone plays the game like, you and if they dont then you dont care for their opinion.

People care about UX, they dont call it UX ,but they have frustrations over UI constantly, daily, always have and will have because Fromsoft insists on archaic design. Those frustrations are UX, or rather because of bad UX.

Read any thread criticisng the game and not deepthroating Fromsoft's tiny cock and youll see complaints about Ui/UX.

Nah it's dated trash

the menu is really bad for new players
for veterans it's just weird, could really use optimization
just glad they made it playable with kb+m

This is pretty much true for the case of Elden Ring. There are people who have actually cleared the game and still refuse to adapt. It's a master class in UX design because it outs the shitters for what they really are: Bad at the game.

objectively wrong in all contexts and meaning of the word

damn the japanese superiority really breeds jealousy
