Title says it all. The quality of the game itself is irrelevant.

I'm currently playing World of Final Fantasy. While the menu can be pretty at times, it's really sluggish. Messing around the sphere grid and changing myrages with L1/R1; changing the myrage in your formation. It's so slow. Even talking to NPCs. When you're done talking to them and try to walk away, you have to wait for the fade-out animation of the subtitles to finish before you gain control of your character again. It's just long enough that you notice it every time and it's super annoying.

PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale. Forever a MUGEN mod to my eyes thanks to his UI.

No mans sky is terrible

 

[ItIsOkBro]

this abomination

 

[krpiper]

Any game on console that has a "cursor" style of navigation, examples like Steep, Destiny and No Man's Sky. So much slower than just selecting the item you want to select

Gears of War 4

For Honor's UI is pretty confusing imo.

No pics since I'm on my phone.

Looks like it's the same UI designer from SFV. It's minimalism at its worst.

Mass Effect 1 inventory drove me nuts.

this abomination

I love GT menus

 

[cryptosporidium]

Xenoblade X and Yakuza 0 come to mind

 

[Zukkoyaki]

A lot of Ubisoft games struggle with UI in my opinion

Battleborn has a terrible UI

Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3 both had pretty rough UX in terms of their menus. Honestly, UX is where devs usually drop the ball

Really? I can. It's called the MCU. Gotta make everything fall in line with their aesthetic.

 

[Robot Pants]

Mass Effect 1 inventory drove me nuts.

Yes this is the worst of all time by far

 

[Crayon]

Dragons Dogma menus were bad.

Botw ones are not bad but they are not up to the standard of the rest of the game considering how much time you spend in them.

 

[pretty done]

This is hilariously bad, even for a Kickstarter indie game. For a AAA game made by one of the biggest third parties, for a Marvel game.... it's just the funniest thing I've seen all week. I love seeing Capcom do stupid ass Capcom things.

 

[jelly]

I absolutely hated GRID or was it GRID 2. I get they were going for some fancy real life garage but the visual noise was just horrible and I didn'tget on with the menu within it.

 

[Joey Ravn]

No mans sky is terrible

Yep. And Destiny's, if you ask me. The cursor, the long press to interact with the items, grid-based layout... It makes navigating and managing your inventory a chore.

They could have unified the portrait style for all characters. The Darkstalkers guy next to Red Arremer, Mega Man X and Zero, Spencer... they all look like characters from a completely different game. MUGEN-tier indeed.

Just started playing Horizon and the HUD is a nightmare. Thankfully you can adjust the crap out of it and I basically turned every damn element to only show when I call for it (dynamic mode). Horizon is waaaay too pretty to be fucked up with that HUD.

 

[plasmawave]

The Witcher 2.

 

[DorkyMohr]

I hated Destiny's UI, seemed like too much style over function. This was way back during the alpha though, don't know if it's been improved.

Capcom doesn't know how to make attractive menus anymore. SF5's is dull as hell too.

 

[sotojuan]

Witcher 3 on consoles. The UI just screams "use me with a mouse and keyboard!"

 

[Trace]

I hated Destiny's UI, seemed like too much style over function. This was way back during the alpha though, don't know if it's been improved.

Destiny in general is considered to have one of the best console UIs, so no it hasn't been improved really. Doesn't need anything.

 

[WillyFive]

Mass Effect was a nightmare.

 

[Stygr]

 

[laxu]

Dirt 3. If you don't delete the audio files you are stuck waiting in menus for announcers to make inane banter and overall the menus are not great.

 

[Chesskid1]

can we name consoles too?

 

[Van Bur3n]

Generally every Bethesda game that isn't Morrowind. The epitome of wasting space.

Oblivion:

Fallout 3:

Skyrim:

Fallout 4 (this image is actually from an old NeoGAF thread regarding bad UI in games):

 

[Jangowuzhere]

Ghost Recon Wildlands.

The game is a lot more fun and interesting when you turn various hud elements off. You don't need to give the player all this dumb information that only clogs up the screen and makes the game far easier than it really should be.

 

[ExtremePopcorn]

Mass Effect Andromeda has some of the worst menus and in-game UI that I've seen in a long time.

The crafting menu is close to unusable.

 

[SebastianM]

Off the top of my head, every Ubisoft open-world game released in the past 4 years.

I prefer the new one.

Witcher 3 UI drove me crazy and was still terrible and even after playing this year with all the PS4 patches. I think the worst part was the slowness and input delays.

 

[Common Knowledge]

Xenoblade X and Yakuza 0 come to mind

Is Xenoblade X's even worse than Xenoblade Chronicles? Cause Chronicles was absolutely atrocious with its menus, to the point where I preferred not to go cycling through the inventory screens to put on new armor pieces half the time.

 

[KingBroly]

Resident Evil 6

They designed a unique one for each campaign. Ridiculous.

 

[purseowner]

Xenoblade X and Yakuza 0 come to mind

Eh?

I'll give it that it's colourful and stuff but... Man it's terrible:

[Zoom In]

Battlefield 1

 

[Common Knowledge]

I'll give it that it's colourful and stuff but... Man it's terrible:

Smash Wii U's menu actually makes me irrationally angry whenever I see it. It's simple enough to learn and memorize where every mode is, so it's not that big of a deal, but....why it laid out like that? Just why?

 

[Mechanized]

I was shocked at how awful the Dissidia NT UI was when I saw a gameplay video.

 

[Sami+]

I'll give it that it's colourful and stuff but... Man it's terrible:

Yeah it's ridiculous after Brawl and Melee were pretty much perfect.

Why is Training under Games and More lmao

Disguised The Witcher thread?

Inventory management of TW3 at launch was god awful.
