Raikkonen -> RE: make it easy to be a completionist (8/3/2020 9:03:53 PM)
|
I'd add that ever since this new web site was introduced, I've found myself coming to browse much less often. I find the new layout confusing. I like to log in, check what's new, what coming soon, what announced, etc. Like the first poster, I'm a bit of a completist, so I'm looking to maintain a list of interests and checking back frequently to maintain that list. I went to the "new" releases page and was greeted with a large banner that scrolled through several items, including John Tiller's Battlefield Civil War. Far from new. The list below was in order of release. But then I was further confused by all the options for Panzer General 2. It's just not as intuitive for me to find what I want when I come to browse. I'm bombarded by banners and scrolling items and "news". I've got my anniversary coupon coming up and trying to make my list ready for catching up, but it's getting more challenging to figure out what I want due to the layout.
Another example - home page shows me "what's hot" I don't care what's "Hot" since I don't know how they've determined the hotness factor. top right I get "recent" news, but way below on the left I get "more" news. Then a banner of what appear to be random games. Then the latest DLC's, which is the first item that makes some sense.
So then, I go to Store: New, figuring I'll get a chronological list of all releases. I figure I can look back to my last purchase date and I'll see everything. Not so! I'm hit with an Add for Fantasy General II: Invasion, then FGII Prologue, then Shadow Empire. Then another banner of Latest DLC's. Finally I reach a list. Beginning with PG2 Field Marshal Ed released Mar 19. What? That's the latest release? Ok, maybe so for a full up game. So the banner of DLCs post dates that but no list? Confusing. I just want a full, chronological list to peruse. The list "ends" with CMO from Nov 14, 2019. I guess that's the end of the list. No link to "all releases: Got to look harder for that.
OK, so maybe Store:All will get me there. Ahhh! Found it! Now a comprehensive list of everything! Wait - I've got to go through pages and pages. There must be a way to reset the number of games displayed per page - nope! I'm restricted to the quantity whoever set up the page wanted. Oh well. At least I finally reached my desired destination! The info I want is right here. Maybe I'll bookmark this page and only visit here.
Sorry for the rant, I just want something similar to my old Matrix web site back.
Tom
