Other than the menu boxes not being the same size, I never had a problem with GT5s menu and thought the criticism was completely overblown.

Some of those are photoshopped in. Like Jedah and the gargoyle.

I'll give it that it's colourful and stuff but... Man it's terrible:
This is offensively bad. This thing commits almost every cardinal sin a menu could, with the exception of it being distinguishable via colour coding.

Haven't even played it but I hate the UI in the new Dissidia. It's specially bad because the game looks visually fantastic ...but you have a really ugly UI taking up like half of your screen.
And of course, PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. It's like they used some free mugen template.... Not even a good one
That can't be final , right?.
Looks like a mockup someone made using Photoshop....in like 10 minutes

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.

Neither of them is a pause button. One is the Sheikah Slate which gives you access to the map and photos. The other is your inventory and options. I definitely got them mixed up in my first hour or two, I was more likely to accidentally take a screenshot when trying to open the map than anything else.
However, BotW does have some seriously annoying UI failures, like switching between categories of items in the inventory and the lack of a quick discard/swap for weapons and bows.
Oh man Gran Turismo 5, that isn't even the only screen that looked like that. I bounced of that game so fast because of how it looked.
Beat me to it. Talk about complete garbage.

Nintendo Land. Holeee fuck. Playing the game is so hard.
Punch out wii. Every uses wiimote sideways except menu. Pointer only... Why..

The UI itself is not bad but FFXII's menus always felt sluggish and laggy to me. Like there's a subtle delay after every button press. I was hoping the remaster would address this but nope.
the criticism is less about the visuals and more about how many clicks it takes to do everything

Medal of Honor Warfighter. The fucking multiplayer menu system was the worst thing ever.

It's a pretty straight forward character select screen. It's not particularly pretty, but it's a perfectly fine UI. Also, the image you selected is pre-release footage that has been mocked up by Maximilian, so chill.
That's exactly it. Capcom had a strong flair for striking character select when it came to marvel, but this seems incredibly lazy in comparison to what has come before. Even SF5'S has more flair than this one since it furthers the "V" motif the game has going on. It's very disappointing.

Demon Souls' menus are what turned me off the game. UI and Menus are a huge deal to me for whatever reason.
Assassins Creed 3 made you load a separate menu to switch tools/weapons, something that had been pretty much instantaneous in previous entries. There was also some kind of trading system. I don't remember it all too well, but it having horrible clunky design has been burned into my memory.
Umvc3s is worse than vanilla tho.
SFV's CSS is fantastic.
I def agree that it's lazy and uninspired, I just disagree that it's bad UI.

That layout would work great on a tablet or other touchscreen devices.
But navigating with a controller is a mess.
EA Sports game menus are awful. They go flash over speed. They used to be quick/snappy many years ago but now? They are blocks that take up a quarter of the screen and going through any settings takes longer than it should. In sports games, you go through menus a fair amount to manage your team and I find it unacceptable. It's highly unnecessary, all games should have snappy menus.
Yes, fuck Skyrim's UI. The worst thing for me was having multiple 'notes', so I had to open all of them before I got the right one. Why not tell me which one is the newest, or give them different names or something, geez.
WHY NO TOUCHSCREEN?!?!I'll give it that it's colourful and stuff but... Man it's terrible:
I can not believe you couldn't just tap those massive colourful icons on your Gamepad.

He's also the only character whose art breaks the bounds of his portrait box, making him look like he's been badly photoshopped in.
he has been, it's a mock up. Come on now.

Games like Star Wars and Sonic Free Riders that use the Kinect for menu navigation

I mean, the art direction sucks, but from a UI standpoint it's completely usable, if not uninspired.

bethesda games definitely, but i got really overwhelmed with all the menus in horizon:zero dawn for a while. i think breath of the wild can get pretty annoying with how much stuff you end up carrying near the end.

Sakurai's wife is responsible for the Smash menus and others. The UI is certainty recognizable.
Ignore Superstar in this image his wife didn't do that one.
Off-TV play. Also needed for 8-player Smash without GameCube controllers.

Sakurai should learn from the ARMS UI design, it's great and would have fit perfectly in Smash.

Someone will post Persona 5 for being "overdesigned" or some shit and I'll be pretty salty
Are people really posting Destiny here? I swear some people will find any excuse to hate on Destiny. The UI is sublime, both aesthetically and functionally.

Yakuza 0's UI actually put me off the game a bit. Everything down to the choice of font feels a bit cheap and arcadey.

Im gonna have to agree with the OP. I'm a huge fan of dissidia and the new one's UI is so bad that it might actually turn me off from even playing it.

BOTW is a fantastic game, but some of the menus are really badly thought out.
