So even after the big sale is gone, the news are at the very bottom. It's literally the one thing I check every day :(

Please, oh please, get rid of that zooming effect on the top banner.
Everything else in the re-design i can adjust to, if i have to.

But that banner effect makes me queasy just by looking at it.

Also, who had the bright idea to put the news at the very bottom, only loading after everything else loaded? Someone else who likes to read the new, but also got sick by the top banner? :P

You're not alone. Maybe this is helpful: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/new_ui_a_deeper_look/post23

Looks like it was made for phones in mind. Not a fan.
And what's going on with the Galaxy Client, the news items at the bottom are invisible (well almost, they quickly flash by and can't be clicked on). Have to go to the webpage to see what's new, nearly missed that the amazing Adom is now
part of GOG's catalouge. Very bad.

It used to be a very frequent activity of mine to check the website for news and sales, but since the recent changes every visit results in a slap to the face and I'm growing increasingly aggravated. I have withdrawn from using the website and the GOG Galaxy client until those changes are rectified. Until then I'll be using the rss feed because at least this page doesn't treat me like a desensitized short-attention-span dweeb.

Not a fan of what they're done to the news section. The curated collections tiles look rubbish, maybe let more of the image show through and lower the opacity of the color overlay. Also the now on sale and the news sections are broken when resizing the client to the smallest it can go.

Edit: What I don't like about the news is 1) the position, it should be more prominent than bottom of the page 2) You have to click through for the content, previously the first line or two was readable on the front page.

The News still needs to be made visible in IE 11.
And please put the screenshots back into reviews - it's just weird with no screenshots.


And I'm aware that some of you don't like IE. This thread is not about your dislike of one browser, so don't bother posting about it!
All the transition effects are extremely jerky on Firefox here, some even freeze and stop working entirely. Like if it's not using any kind of acceleration. It makes the pages borderline unusable, as if the slow load times weren't bad enough. I only get this with GOG... no idea why.

What? I can't figure out what you talking about. We never had screenshots in our reviews.

They screwed up a hundred things in this redesign but missing screenshots in reviews was not one of them. Maybe you're talking about Line Breaks or some other spacing formatting?
I'm using chrome and screenshots of games are painfully slow to load... In the past they were loading instantaneously...
I don't dislike it but it's difficult to navigate/find what you are looking for. Every day I visit GOG to see the deal of the day which was marked and easy to find. The weekly deals are also a bit of a mess. I mean they are all there on the front page, but there is no telling which is weekly and which is daily. Anyways, I guess it's a matter of time to adjust to the new GOG.
The GoG Galaxy performance and requisites are becoming higher than the games I run with it.
And I suspect the problem with the buy and news sliders are resolution related. Probably the GOG Guys consider that 1366x768 is a resolution from the past, a Good Old Deprecated res.

Amazing.

I already own all of the "curated games" that I am interested in buying. Having those things sitting there, taking up half my screen and eternally useless, is a baffling design decision, and the fact that the news--which is the only reason I would ever visit the main page--has been reduced to a few pictures on the bottom of the screen that I have to scroll two screens down to to even see, has drastically reduced the main page's utility, for no good reason that I can see.

The rest of the redesign is pretty bad, too, but that's the first thing that jumped out at me. I mean, presumably if you massively change your site you have some sort of concrete reason too, but what problem is this disaster supposed to be fixing?
