    It is awful. Hard to even tell what is going on.

    I knew this was coming but I thought there would a preview or something beforehand. I'm not sure I like it, actually looking at it a second time I really don't like it. It's very unorganized, and oddly clustered.

    Bless your tiny little hearts for trying to improve the site but simpler is better; it was one of the reasons I'd rather come here than some of the other gaming sites which has really messy and bad layouts (like this new one).

  • Priox - December 10, 2012 10:27 a.m.

    I couldn't agree more. The simple, easy-on-the-eyes layout is why I always came to Gamesradar. I've always hated sites like IGN for their messy and cluttered main page.

    I usually hate new things, but I actually like the redesign. The out now and coming soon section on the homepage is probably my favorite part. Keep up the good work GR.

    WTF why is every one going to this design, its plain ugly.

  • Priox - December 10, 2012 10:29 a.m.

    I believe they're trying to place an emphasis on comments, making it a more "social" or "community" site. These things are important, I don't deny that, but they're a side-show. I come here to read news.

    Honestly not a big fan of the new design. I prefer the simpler blog style. This just reminds me of IGN which is not a good thing.

  • Priox - December 10, 2012 10:29 a.m.

    "This just reminds me of IGN which is not a good thing." Agreed.

    I'm on the "DO NOT WANT!" side TBH. I really don't like the new design, it just looks like a mess. Like Youtube's new (terrible) layout, it wastes a LOT of space, only at least Gamesradar balanced it so the wasted space is on the left and right in equal measure. Mind, Gamesradar wasted a lot of space on the right and left anyway. I think they used it to display adverts, but...Adblock+ y'know? It's not as terrible as Youtube's new layout (Click Name > Load Page > Click Video Manager > Load Page > Click Inbox. As opposed to "Dropdown Menu > Inbox"), which is something I guess.

    Wow, I love this new design! The first time I loaded the homepage it kind of...broke...but after an F5 it was fine! XD The thing I like best though is that, all of a sudden, I can now actually view those darned slide articles on my Firefox! In other words, if this fixed all the compatibility issues, it's even better!

  • Darkhawk - December 10, 2012 8:58 a.m.

    Looks like Kotaku's aborted fetus.

  • jtroll - December 10, 2012 11:40 a.m.

    That's a bit unfair. Any fetus of Kotaku would be far less user-friendly and would force writers to write pay-per-click articles.

  • n00b - December 10, 2012 8:51 a.m.

    WTF am i looking at!?!?!?! why does every site have to model themselves after facebook and force every one who hates to it use it.

  • einhazard - December 10, 2012 8:33 a.m.

    ...so there's not a way to change it back to the old format, huh?

  • Kblock9412 - December 10, 2012 8:31 a.m.

    Honestly, looking at this page is giving me a headache.

  • wadesmit - December 10, 2012 8:31 a.m.

    Tom will still hate that the font of the names is the same colour. CHANGE IMMEDIATELY. Just kidding, I really like it. All fancy and modern looking.

  • ultimatepunchrod - December 10, 2012 8:30 a.m.

    I like the new design especially the ability to comment from the main page. The layout, I'll have to get used to, but I think this looks good!

  • BladedFalcon - December 10, 2012 8:27 a.m.

    I actually think I like the new format. Sure, it might not be all in a neat straight line, but it allows to cover far more info with less clicks... Which is something people loved to bitch about this site, aaaand now they are bitching about this new design, figures. I also like that it not only shows you the article, but the most recent comments. SO yeah, i for one approve of the change, congrats GR!

  • OmegaDestroyer - December 10, 2012 8:14 a.m.

    "Cluttered" is the best way to describe the new design. I don't know why there was a need to change the old format.
