A very underappreciated part of video games, post examples of good and bad UIs

Ok, you aren't retarded at all OP.

I unironically like WOW's old UI. It's a testament to how mmos were about stats, numbers, semi-real-time gameplay mechanics and a shit ton of people doing one thing at a time.

That's like saying Skyrim is a good game because you can mod it.

While I can't think on any specific example off the top of my head there's really nothing worse than a game that only shows your current HP/MP as opposed to to your current over your max assuming the max isn't the same throughout the game. It's so fucking stupid.

Okay I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong but I am gonna call you a faggot.

I like minimalist UIs and dead space does good for a third-person viewpoint. I think an immersive UI really works best for first-person games and it really makes you feel like you're in the action, as far as your viewpoint goes.

The wow screenshot's clutter is at least conveying actual information, rather than filling half the screen with your character model.

He didn't compare them he just posted them side by side, (you) compared them.

I bet you think that cockpit views in mech games are superior to glorious third person views.
Fucking faggot.

Pic related is one I enjoy, it is pretty minimal with only up to 2 spell cards appearing in the corner. Button prompts are non-existent and health is contextualized by the character moving differently and the screen blurring or you can just look at the item menu.

Despite the fact that a lot of people doesn't like the Dead Space franchise (and after the shitshow that 3 was, they have all the right to do so), I found the UI to be the perfect example of how to do good immersion in TPS games. If they only fixed a couple of problems and got rid of the stupid tracker thing and make players actually use the map, it'll be near perfect.

"Minimal" UIs are utter garbage because they put form over function , they look like these modern websites. If you want an "uncluttered" experience watch a fucking movie.

Someone post that one webm about that one autistic man and the equip screen, and the other one where he complains about the signs but then goes back to talking about the equip screens. I thought his complaints where valid to some level. Darksoul's UI take up too much screen real estate while giving very little feedback. Considering how big items are on the item screen.

Just like close menu.

I think he has a point too. Part of the problem is that it a console UI but even for that it sucks, like having to click empty space to select an item etc.

It's not confusing at all. You're picking the equipment slot that you want to put something into or change. It's been a standard way of handling equipping items for fucking decades.
