visual minimalism and the homogenization of GUI is good chud, it makes the game more professional and less like a toy for kids

Need to be scalable for 1561941k displays (0.0000001% of customers)

But it is for kids. You like it

I worked with a professional UI/UX designer and he HATED textures, anything ornate or looking like a real object. Everything had to be spartan, simple and "clean". Flat rectangles. Black backgrounds. The most he would tolerate is a subtle gradient. He would literally cringe when he saw UI in a medieval game with a parchment scroll background texture

scalability sadly

UI designers somehow believe all UIs should be the same, from a fantasy video game UI to an air conditioner unit UI.
Art directors somehow think it's ok, and here we are.

Blizzard UI went from kino Warcraft 3, Diablo 2 and (Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty before the UI update), to soulless, minimalistic, cheap boring, sterile shit from Overwatch and onwards.

I had the same issue with the UI of God of War 2018. Such boring shit.

I suspect it just cheaper, more modular and scaleable for soulless hack developers.

The Persona games, Gravity Rush and all of Project Moon's games so far, are the most recent games I remember having nice menu/UI design.

>Multiple teams working on multiple UIs, but all managers in charge ran out of political capital to push their idea through when they were fighting each other, so none of the work they tried to push gets into the final game

All modern menus are made in the last minute with random slop being produced in the background.
All companies are now so bloated and hollowed out by office politics that they can not produce even mildly complex interdependent systems on par with what could be done prior to the 2010 decline.

If it's not all the same, then it will look wrong when it has to be put together with something random.

It's not even scalability, it's just a total lack of forward planning and coherence.

They're mandated by soulless corporate robot-people because the data shows that using that kind of UI lets them put in as little effort as possible without having much decrease in profits.

You've done the world a disservice by letting him live.

All "designers" are quota hires now. Women and trannies. They study gender relations and politics in art schools now

This is the result. They physically can't make anything better, all UIs in games are like that. I thought it was cybergarbage2077 on the bottom in your image. Same "style". They think "siplicity" is cool. Which is only true if you simplify something complicated and you know how to do so and understand how to make simplicity work. These degenerates don't know it. They start from something simple already and can't improve on it. The lightbulb in their heads is extremely dim.
BUT they are lesbians (or trannies) and know all the made up genders and flags and respect niggers. Which is more important in the creative field nowadays

>y... you are wrong!
Oh, yeah? I'd like to hear your explanation on why gender study graduates can't make anything better
Also these hiring practices are funded by jewish funds. Make your own conclusions

I also wonder if it has to do with creatively bankrupt "designers" being trained in an environment with the constant limitation of having to have everything "work" for tablets and smartphone mouth breathers.

I mean, look at what revoltingly boring shit is being referred to as "old and exciting" in this piece of shit video... I truly think that people like this from various corporate industries are flooding the market:

This shit is creative cuckoldry

>for soulless hack developers
Skilless as well which is the main reason

I'm allowed to live like pic related as a backend developer. I'm also allowed to endulge in rather rigid software design patterns to achieve beauty, readbility and maintainability in my particular field. But I do not want my fucking visual artists living like this, or at least creating "art" as if they live like this.

I thought the bottom image was from CP2077 for a sec until I was reminded it was the new platinumslop >>724054648

Cyberpunk is kino menu design

Atlus UI is an atrocity. All of their games are hot garbage too.
