All this time I thought Home was supposed to be used for what is found in Latest. Home looks like a virus that learned how to escape its sidebars,and have now infected the other areas of the page.

Came here to say the same thing. Think this is my last day of Kotaku. Pretty sad.

EDIT: Hold up, I found this link, it’s more like the old Kotaku. I guess I will stick around till they take this away: https://kotaku.com/latest

Man, am I not loving the new format of the main page. It reminds me of Polygon’s format, and that format used to be fine until they decided to wash the entire website in white. The main page of Kotaku looks awful. Those thin borders aren’t doing much and now my eyes have to look everywhere for articles instead. Guess…

Launch Title: The Launchest Title.

Is it just me or does Godfall look boring as hell?

Outside of Hitman in VR, that felt like a total snoozefest. Especially the godfall ending.

The day that happens I un-bookmark kotaku and look for gaming news elsewhere.

The new layout is too busy.

This layout seems to be an attempt to monetize the entire website as much as possible. Did this go through any UX?

* You’ve got The Inventory items wedged between the top articles and the rest of the articles. Obviously, the management hopes people click on those and affiliate revenue is…

Who is this even for? Are noted herb Jim Spanfeller and his herb gang trying to lure in intermittent visitors? What is even the point?

I feel like there’s an ongoing competition to make the desktop version more unusable than the mobile version, and then the mobile version more unusable than the desktop version to make up, and so on.

Hard agree as well. Thank god for latest tab. This new look is absolutely horrendous. 

It’s only awful if you don’t like things that are bad in every way

I did the same here! Thanks for polygontaku but no

It's a blog. The vast majority of people want it in chronological order, everything else is in the way. And it actually matters, because the autoplaying, centered, scrolling video that pops up in front of the articles on mobile... Make mobile completely unusable. 

Dear lord, this new layout is bad. It’s impossible to tell what’s new, what’s old, and it’s just a massive eyesore to look at. There is no way in which this new layout is better for readers than the old one.

hard agree. It’s difficult to even look at

I knew this day was coming, when it happened to Gizmodo.  Sad to see the backlash there didn’t make anyone pause to rethink the layout before moving it to more sites.

Been around Kotaku for a while, so what I’m gonna say is that even if it’s not getting any better at redesigning websites at least they seem to be more aware of the need to give people an opt-out? So... progress?

*Changes bookmark to the old version*

Whomever ok’d the new design really should rethink things. Good lord that’s a massive fustercluck.

It’s fucking awful!! but thank god for that latest tab!
