There was once a time where every game had a soulful UI and menu design, we used to be a proper hobby, devs used to give a shit about expressing the game in every way possible

All it will take is a total industry crash and we'll get there again.

This is because everything was being designed for consoles with fixed resolutions. Widespread PC ports indirectly killed this because most devs are too lazy to design menus that are both aesthetically interesting while also functioning at all sorts of different resolutions and aspect ratios.

This is why websites took the minimalist pill too. So they could make them look good in phones.

If this was even remotely true than the generic weebshit #65775 in your pic related would inspire you with more fruitful and insightful thread topics than yet another pity party circlejerk thread.

What the fuck are you talking about retard

Oh shut the fuck up.
I'm so tired of menufags.
>Wow this game had soul because it's rectangled had slightly different layout.
Jesus fuck do you even play videogames? Of all the things you could cry about. Fuck man, just kill yourself, life doesn't get easier than not bitching about menus and you couldn't even do that.

Because you're so mindbroken that shitskins live in your head rent-free 24/7.

>>744620907
That has very little to do with it. There's no reason having an aesthetically pleasing / interesting menu requires a fixed resolution. Even if it did you can just make a game with a fixed resolution. That used to be very common and it still is for certain genres (stg, any type of pixelshit platformer, vns and adventure games with prerendered backgrounds, hacking games, etc)

a bunch of rectangles is only soulful to people who are too low IQ to handle other shapes

No games should be over 720 and a considerable amount would be just fine still being in 480p, generally.
Fight me.
>>
>>744623915
why would i fight you? you're right. hell i'd go further and say a lot of games should go back to 4:3

There's plenty of modern games with good menus.
>>
>>744624175
i wouldn't say "plenty" persona 5 stood out so much because stylish menus are almost a lost art, and also if there were "plenty" of "modern" examples you'd probably have used one that was less than a decade old.
>>
>>744624175
persona 5 was an exception, in fact it was so much of an exception that they started copying it for every game they make now
>>

>posts a ten year old game

>>744624006
Handhelds being 4:3 for portability with 480p panels which would facilitate 240p content display.
Home consoles being 720p/500p/600p (like 7th gen) for more detailed and demanding games, could you imagine that?
But normies need to buy that heckin 80'' TV to turn their living room into a theater to watch spooooooky movies, therefore fucking up pixel density, demanding 4k to have it looking good enough.

Atlas has been pretty much making everything P5s UI to the point of backporting it to their remakes of P3 and P4

Fatal Frame 3 has the best menu design ever, in my opinion. You can't see it in the screenshot, but there are snowflakes falling down behind that Japanese curtain thingie in the background. It's such a beautiful menu screen, and by extremely far my favorite one I've seen in a game.

>>744619438
If only /v/ has some interesting opinions on UI instead of holding up dogshit UI for just being unique.
