I hoped. I really hoped. I waited. But no, you never fixed anything. And you do not want to fix anything. Well, there are no any gaming sites any more (IGN? Giant bomb? give me a break!). Almost none. After Moby games was ruined in the same way as GS, a guy just bought it. Yes! Bought it and reversed to the old design that works. With a huge and searcheable database of games. I hope someone buys you, GS. At least someone buys the old game database and makes it public and searcheable. Really searcheable, on GENRES! And this new crappy site of yours... You keep it. It was a good time, but you screwed it up. For good.
Bring back the old game search and sorting options or at least give back the list of genres and fix logical search operators (now it is OR instead of AND) and I will forgive you.
It's been a month now since the New Gamespot was forced onto us and this site is still completely broken, lagging, with horrible design, broken game filtering and violation of user privacy by displaying everything we do in the public feed. I guess most people just come here to complain on the forums. And they say they would use competitor sites. What sites? IGN? The same mess. I was horrified when I saw Moby Games recent new design. It is as awful as the new Gamespot. And also totally broken. Can you imagine, Moby Games!? All major mainstream gaming sites look now like clones of some horrible and disfunctional mess. Welcome to Web 2.0. Welcome to Zombieland.
I just posted a more detalied (negative) comment on New GS and it did not post! OK, do you filter comments now, GS guys? Better you fix game filtering. And the public feed so users could have some privacy. And all other things with the site. 99% of users think it is just crap. You dont need 99% of the site users? it is not just some cosmetic changes that people do not like, it is severe functionality issues that make GS basically unusable or not interesting any more.
This is horrible! I always went to GS for its excellent list of games, from very old ones to still to come ones, according to my calculation/guess there were like about 100.000 game titles in the list (maybe more) and they were nicely sorted and classified and I could select a category and sort within it how I wanted and view games as I wanted. And could easily find games and read reviews, by GS and users. Now it is all gone... This is a complete mess. And website design... Well, I do not want even start here... RIP GS, one more bastion of relative normality has fallen... What a *** up world...
