I know this has been out for awhile, but I finally decided to make this thread.
The new menu style. The old way, particularly that of browsing items in the Plat Store and in NPC stores, was easy to use and fast to see what you wanted.
However, in my opinion, the new menu is HORRIBLE. The worst it could be! Here's why:
--
Say I want to go check out some dandy cowboy hats in the plat store. Well, for one, it seems the responsiveness of sliding vertically through the store is half of what it should be. And when trying to browse and sliding multiple times to make it go faster, accidentally pressing back all the time is living hell.
Second, pressing the title to go back is confusing, and impossible to get the hang of. And the back arrow at the top of the screen that used to be around where you went back in older versions now exits the inventory, where I have to do the whole thing over again. And to switch between viewing, say, cowboy hats and headphones, you have to back and select the other option instead of pressing the over arrows for the subcategory like it previously was.
Lastly, why did you take the pictures away from the menus? In the old menu, there was a list of the items, and when you highlighted it it showed us wearing it and its cost and all that good stuff. But now, each picture of the item is separate, and you have to select each item individually and go back and select another to view. It makes comparing looks and stats a nightmare, and did I mention the responsiveness is already terrible?
--
Now, this is NOT a rant. This is feedback, and constructive criticism. I really dislike the new navigation, not necessarily the look, but how much harder it is to do simple tasks.
The old menu system and look was just fine, and if it's not broken... Don't fix. :)
