FAVORITE EXAMPLES OF MENU DESIGN?

Fixed the youtube link for ya. You gotta use the full https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4raZ7J5l38 like that for youtube tags. And no extra bits. It's a little finicky. >.<;

Menu design, huh? I think Persona 5's menu design is super classy and slick. I prefer more stylistic, minimal choices personally, with sharp looks and graphical consistency. Easy to read and understand, easy to use but looking good.

Oh another thing I forgot to mention is menus that you don't need to faff about in to actually do what you want. So ones where it uses good controls and you can go in and out really fast if need be.

(One thing I really don't like and wish would be done away with is the floaty menus where you have to wait until you can do something. Granted, Persona 5 has this issue but it's so stylish that I don't mind waiting a second to get into the meat, but most other games just have it like, load for a second before you can move your cursor and it's like... I don't care about your floaty ass windows, just send me in coach.)

One beautiful example I think about often is the menu for Dishonored.

Damn, now I want to have a title screen of this quality for my own games.

Personally, I like this type of main menu especially in strategy games.

Simplicity of basic source menus is one of my all times favourites. I think more complicated fancy looks often look off. They don't trust the game to sell on its own.

I see your point here. However, the title screen is the first thing you see about a game and therefore it's important for the first impression. That's why I understand it when a developer puts a lot of effort into it to make it look as fancy as possible.

Still my favourite. Clean, sleek, easy to read. Maybe a little lacking in personality, sure, but it'd be easy to design along the same lines and inject just enough.
