From E3 untill now, Can you honestly tell me what we know of Fallout 4 objectively?

Main menu is kind of ruined by the ugly green box. The green looked decent for the HUD, but who decided to put it in the main menu?

It's on r/Fallout. I like the garage/workshop background, everything else except for that green box.
 
Does it matter whether it's important or not? Nobody is saying, that they won't buy the game due to the UI itself, so what is so bad about point out how ugly it is? Because it is ugly, no doubt about that.
 
The UI can be the ugliest compared to all other games out there, but it's a very small bit of the rest of the product. And if everything else is at least above sub par (I'm not expecting too much from Bethesda at this point), then nitpicking over a thing like this is just stupid. Hate newspapers is one thing, but this? Really?
 
Completely different shade of green, just because two things are green doesn't mean they are the exact same. Also the menu is in a box on the main screen but there is a bunch of empty space on the box for no reason, the space at the top and the bottom is not even close to similar, there is no need for the options to be on a box, it just looks like an Alpha stage menu.
 
It's minimalist, the shade is barely different and it looks fine and you're looking at a pre-released, likely can probably be changed thing that is a picture of a screen with a phone or something.

This is silly.
 
If it was minimalist they would've actually looked to MINIMIZE the ammount of elements, they didn't, they put in an ugly box with nonsensical empty space. The main menu from the previous games was minimalist as it was just the options listed without a box, just text.

Also "Barely different", You obviously have no idea how color theory works if you think that "green is green, whatever".

It's called Graphic Design.....

Now this might not be a problem to most people, but that doesn't mean is not badly designed. If I were to present this in a class I would get a failing grade.

Minimalist means it barely takes up space, and on the whole screen it doesn't take up much, and the green being barely different is the truth. It's a different shade but it's not that far removed. Badly designed? It's fine and fits with the rest of the menus we've been shown.

Dude, if you don't know what you are talking about don't try correcting the ACTUAL graphic designer....

Oh here we go again! This is always worth a laugh, like another graphic designer claiming he knows what makes a sequel more than someone who isn't. :notworthy:

Nothing I said is inaccurate, you just disagree. Stop getting so butthurt. Also could you redesign your Steam avatar? It's horrible to look at.
 
No, everything you said is inaccurate, you jsut don't realize it because you barely even know what design even is. One thing is being ignorant about something, the other is insisting on talking about it despite not knowing anything. Like you use the word "minimalist" but you don't even know what Minimalist design even is. Then again,bethesda fans, they will even defend the bugs.

Seeing as I am not calling it minimalist art and am going by this legitimate definition, yeah. About that.
1: a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity

Graphic designers, what a bunch of snobs. Amirite?!
