Where are you moving.......after the Gamespot disaster..?

It's just a change in layout. It reminds me of the instant whining petitions you get whenever facebook changes design, then everyone is fine with it a few weeks later and cant even remember what the old one was like.

The content is the same, it's just a change in appearance. It's buggy as hell, but give it a few weeks at least.

Stop whining, there are just a few bugs that need to be ironed out. Other than that, the new site is better than the old one.

Ahhh so you are not allowed to dislike anything or point out its obvious deficiencies because thats just whining and has no valid merit, enjoy being spoon fed whatever slop you get told to eat drones. The new site is clearly less user friendly than the old.

OMG you're right. WTH GS!

Increase sig size (honestly just the size, I don't care if their are no gifs) and this new layout isn't really that bad.

The new GS is fine, some people just like bitching about change.

If you don't like it, then just leave. Don't bitch about it and expect some kind of massive change backwards.

It's growing on me, it will take some time to get used to, but like Windows 8, I learned to like it.

Actually the more I use it on my phone the more I am liking it.

I'm just going to stay here and see what changes they have in store.

i'm willing to wait out some growing pains for a bit. i can't figure out how to lower the number of posts displayed in a thread, there's seemingly no function to pick up where you left off in a thread, it's difficult to find articles, and the site is performing slowly.

maybe some of it is just me needing to acclimate to the new site (perhaps there is an option to displace fewer posts and i just haven't found it yet) and maybe some of it just isn't working right now or will come together later (a "last post you read" button is a very common function in forums and i think its hard to believe that GS has no intentions of having something that does this). however, if there aren't fixes pretty soon, i don't think i'd leave GS altogether but i'd probably post more on other sites and less here.

Good riddance.

Not sure where to go. Anyone have any recommendations for a forum that is just a big OT?

@AtariKidX: to be honest i don't like it either

I really, really, REALLYhope you're joking by saying that.

Looks like they made it so usernames aren't cut off on the left, though they are broken up :P

I'm already on other sites. The changes I hope will, in time, grow on me. A lot of features should be brought back: New posts first, forum boards, etc. It looks nice, cleaner, but feels boring.

have been here for more than 5 years. i enjoy the commmunity. i will be staying.

@mehrdad19872010: i cant say i fussed with fuse at all but the new profiles offer quite alot in the direction of a social thing. that looks alot like a social site page to me.

regarding unions i dont see why those protesting about this cant make the most of the pieces we have to work with.

I see a lot of talking but no suggestion. I need other sites, so start naming them. 3 post in a row are too much? Fvck that shit.

I am greatly annoyed by this new interface. It reminds me of Windows 8, and the way everything is being completely stripped down, clearly catering to smartphones. Not a bad idea, just extremly annoying when half the features and buttons seem to be missing. I am sure the features are there somewhere, hidden away so Joe Casual Gamer doesnt get confused, while browsing the CoD section on his iPhone.

The thing i am missing the most, is the way "new games" worked on the old site. You could filter genres, and choose the weeks of the year and see releases. Only reason i ever went on gamespot was for that overview of game releases alone, and occasional laugh you could get at systemwars.

Thinking of spending my days at tdh. Or investing in lais corner

The people are the problem. People need to understand this

I only post on two Forums. Here and Gametrailers. A lot more on GT over the years. I have been a member here for like a decade and only have post a couple hundred times. Anyways...i stayed with GT through its horrendous change and i will stay through this change too~

I am, too. There are issues that need addressing, but they will eventually be non-issues.

I'm not finding it bad, just slow very slow compared to before. I'm pretty sure this will be fixed soon though.

This layout is pure garbage.

I hate it when websites stretch it claiming they adjusted for widescreen. Websites aren't games or movies.

That's like typing an essay in 11 x 8.5 instead of 8.5 x 11.

This saved me from getting eye cancer: http://userstyles.org/styles/93915/center-gamespot-forums?r=1381456316

I am not. In general, I like the new design. Feels more modern and cleaner. Granted, there are some issues and bugs, but there's bound to be with the relaunch of a site.

It seems to me that gamespot has gone in to cost saving mode. They cut down on a lot of nice contents and replaced them with ad supported videos. Unfortunately, the site seems to be giving more emphasis on videos than including useful news articles and focusing on user generated content.

I remember, back in 2001, when I was still a student, I wanted to finish my studies, get a job, and get a paid gamespot subscription. That was one of the first things I aspired while being a student.

12 years down the line, now I believe someone needs to pay me for continuing to use this new gamespot. Did they actually take user feedback? Do some beta runs? Do they even know their strengths?

As far as the unions and UCB go, I am sorry, but GameSpot was right to kill them. Most had been graveyards for years, and the one that were still active, even the most popular unions, were a shell of their former self. Granted, some flak could be placed on GameSpot's feet for lack of promotion or lack of improvements to the unions, but whatever. If anything, I am surprised this did not happen sooner.

With that being said, hopefully GameSpot will fulfill it's promise to transfer some of the more popular unions to the new forums.

I'm staying here.

perhaps at least some of the protesting stems forth from reasons other than most people's general disposition of being unsatisfied.

g.s. in firefox. not bad. g.s. in, what i thought was a competent contemporary version of, explorer. hmm.

g.s. main page explorer

I have nowhere to go.

My username looks stupid in this layout.

It's much better now. I had lost my love here when I started to see much cooler sites and here, gamespot was still the same old. Was waiting for this change. Now I think I will join back in the crew. I don't think most people will lose their cool at this new look. Its much cleaner and simpler. I love it. Still, GS could've added a lot more new features to better the social interactions.

I'm warming to it. I thought it was all flavours of shit for the first couple of days but improvements have been made already. Bring back quote notifications and proper sigs.

No disaster, not leaving, shut up.

I definatly like the old GS better, this one is slower and why oh why do I have to scroll through 50 messages to post a reply?

To many confusing things on here and after going to the wrong page at a slow rate of speed just adds to the frusturation.

I'll still be here, despite how much I hate the layout.

That's ridiculous there are tons of places to go.

I've got a house here already, I've got friends and family. I can't just pick up and move away from all that. Nope I think I will plant some flowers out front and put a pool in back instead of moving on to a new forum.

Yeah, the site feels really jumbled now. Much more time consuming to navigate and everything is so squashed (maybe just for me?)

@VintAge68:

I was referring to the original intent - fuse was not made to become a stand alone site that would last beyond the creation of the new Gamespot.

I had been urging patience all along and am doing the same thing now. I am not accustomed to the new site and while I am not a particular fan of Giant Bomb I do still urge that we don't rush to judgement on the new Gamespot because the site has in effect been simplified.

there are fewer things available now so less that can go wrong and there are likely to be fewer of the dreaded "site upgrades" that were necessary to maintain the outdated and cumberous old GS that we mostly loved because it was what we knew.

Besides it was not and is not the actual site we like and enjoy so much but rather the cameraderie of the community and the great friends we have made.

and this is what makes Gamespot a place that is worth returing to.

Meh, visually it's satisfying. They might need to optimize the loading time, but other then that it looks quite nice. Having said that, I kinda miss the index page for each individual platform and the option for changing the background color (I favored black). Still, this is one of the better overhauls I've seen. YouTube and Kotaku isn't in that category unfortunately..

Been here for too long to leave this place just like that. I don't like the change but it was bound to happen at some point. It's not that bad anyway, just gotta improve the speed and fix some things here and there. That said I'll miss the old look but I'll get used to this new one, eventually...

I've been searching for some new forums, in hopes that I could find some gaming forums that are more active. There really seems to be only IGN or Giant Bomb, and I'm already a member of GB. For now I guess I'll just stay here.

I'll be sticking around, I have a feeling things will be fine in the long run around here :)
