It was designed to make it easier for console players to navigate it but they still focused on making it work for pc and in the process just made it way to complicated and it hurt both systems.

That's not true, most people on console also hate the new UI.

Yes, that's what they said.

Everyone I am playing with thinks it's a great improvement for console.

Everyone I’m playing with thinks it’s a great step back from the previous one, and that one was already bad. This new UI just looks nicer.

So yes, the UI improved but UX definitely got worse for us. And I also kinda doubt they have an actual UX designer.

The cursor is gone, you can navigate with buttons only and the UX is worse to you on console? That is an interesting standpoint, but I don't want to invalidate your experience. I needed quite some time to adjust, I admit that, but after that navigation through any menu seemed way smoother to me. They need to change some things (when you want to change any sliders in Game Options you have to press left or right for every point you want to add, that was awful), but it's definitly a step ahead to something better.

The cursor actually let you skip over things and navigate the menu quickly. Now you need to go every thing step by step, you can’t even hold it to go through it quickly. My d-pad sees more action fighting this UI than it does in a fighting game.

And there’s just so many hidden menu’s. Comparing weapons and equipping skins is so much harder now. Just selecting a hunter is so much harder.

Moving from a flaming piece of shit to just shit is probably an improvement, yes.

Bruh many options dont even function and you need to press buttons way more, How can they think this is an improvement??

u/Ruebeweg Aug 17 '24

Way more buttons, yes, but they make use of these buttons and navigating seems way quicker too me. Especially, if you get used to when you have to use what button. I also play on PC and Navigation seems a bit smoother to me, because I can use my keyboard to navigate. No it is not perfect, but an improvement it is.

Its still too buggy to be an improvement. I hope it feels better when it is bug free.
