Steams UI is so amazingly inconsistent it amazes me.
Persona 5 has one of the greatest game UIs I've ever seen in a game. 100 hours in and I was still blown away by it.
The Xbone UI always makes me want to puke. It's so disgustingly riddled with ads that it makes my eyes burn.

I'd buy any game that has a UI as god damn classy as p5s
I never really understood how much a good UI can improve a game until I played amplitude games, any of their recent 4X games have such sleek presentation and the UI alone is a pleasure to my eyes.
Now I can barely stand going back to Civ since that UI is just large and cumbersome
Haha, the division interface is so cluttered, I'm glad he showed that. Ubisoft has a way of making interfaces that can get up to 5 or 6 submenus. For example: Main Menu -> Inventory -> Weapons -> Primary Weapon Selection -> Primary Weapon Mods -> Primary Weapon Mod for Scope Attachment
To go back to the game you need to hit esc like 5 times. I've had times where I just spam esc to try and get out of the menu hell I'm in and end up accidentally hitting esc once when the game resumes and going back into the main menu.
Weird to think that compared to the latest Xbox 360 UI with the rows and shit, the first iteration of dashboards (blades dashboard) seemed the fastest. Perhaps the UI was outdated but goddamn you could browse through that motherfucker at light speed.
I'm still annoyed to all hell that the PS3 changed its PSN Store layout to the PS4's instead of just keeping the old one.

The PS4 layout running on the PS3 is the laggiest piece of shit I've ever had the displeasure of navigating. Hell, sometimes the store app ends up crashing when it gets too slow and sends me back to the XMB menu, it frustrates the living shit out of me.
Best console UI coming through :v:

Added pinch of nostalgia, the Xbox 360 came with this video giving instructions on how to use the blades menu.

I feel he gives netflix too much credit. Really annoys me that it NEVER shows "My List" at the top and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find it. Same goes for shows i'm currently watching. Recently they hide it in the middle of everything.
Gonna be fair and agree that the tile UI sucks for a desktop system like windows, but on mobile devices.
Oh boy it works really damn good.
Fuck the xbox adaption though, they should have stuck to the blades and just updated the visuals of it.
Bad huds are absolute god damn cancer in games

The difference is insane. It's just sooooo much less of a pain in the ass to look at.

The current one is so fucking shit. The home screen is three little icons that're actually useful and the rest is ADS ADS ADS. Buy Xbox Gold, buy FIFA DLC, buy this, buy that! You know what I'd really like? I'd like a customizable home screen so the Xbox Gold ad doesn't permanently take up a third of my screen so I can start up Netflix or Crunchyroll without having to go to a separate menu.

To be fair, cluttered UIs in MMOs is often a self-imposed pain. One of my best friends regularly leads raids in WoW and he has to keep track of everyone's shit so it often looks like he's playing Aurora 4X or something.
Some UIs make me wish I had a command line instead.
That's also old WoW as well, I use to lead heroic raids a long time ago and I've never felt the need to clutter my display so much

I mostly put it in as a joke, I'm pretty sure the creator did too, but I've managed to make a very easy to look at UI in teso while still tracking everyone
I don't know if you can do it in all MMO's, but it's not unreasonable to have the info you need without horrible clutter
[editline]12th March 2018[/editline]
it's still not as bad as battleborns UI because at least it has usable info

Some UIs like in GTA V...

Lowkey Switch currently has the best console UI. It's simple, it's functional and searching something isn't a pain in the ass.

eShop is still complete and utter shit though
Windows 8 start menu and Windows phones to that extend are THE worst UIs I've used.
I hate that cluttered tile-mess -look.
Oh and also every single Smart TV -app is an experience I'd like to forget.
He forgot fucking youtube
Especially on facepunch where you pause and it shows the fucking recommended videos and you accidentally click one and oh fuck you gotta go back
i think "it never quite learned how to read" is my new favorite way of saying "dumb as shit"

Really I consider it better now. The tools to have all the information you need cleanly and consistently presented are much more available whereas a lot of classic addons were inconsistent as hell.
But nasty UIs were always self-imposed. It's bad design by the player through-and-through. You can just look through say, method's roster and you'll see some players with beautiful UIs, and then you'll get some guy that just threw up everything and doesn't care. Same with classic wow, you can find bad examples, and also some pretty good ones too.
And honestly, I'd venture it was a little worse with classic wow because you had more to keep track of. Buffs and debuffs were more generally more important. Threat also used to matter quite a bit and needed tracking. Now there isn't really much of a need.
edit: oh wait you said you led heroic raids. Yeah I know you're wrong on this tbh.

It's so irksome because there's absolutely no reason it should be lagging
It's a first-party development on a system whose specs they'll [I]always[/I] know. There's 0 excuse for significant lag on consoles. Once upon a time consistent performance was a plus of consoles.
when a menu lags or has loading, that's when I'm fucking amazed tbh
jfc w8 has nothing on how bad w10 is, every update makes the UI less centralized and more nonsensical, it drives me absolutely insane how I still have trouble with stuff like changing my network from unsafe to safe after a year or whatever using this crap
[editline]12th March 2018[/editline]
Also I was amazed at how bad PSN is terms of actually understanding the game you're trying to buy, it's absurd how bad it actually is.
smash 4 UI is so stupid it hurts
the options are under the menu "games and more", why
missed opportunity to highlight how bad r6 siege menu is. For some asinine reason each screen is separated with a half second long transition animation that ends up taking fucking forever to get anything done
and dont get me started on how fucking bad reddit is at being a basic website hoyl shit
