For christ sake no. The old site was ugly compared to the new one. Gamespot now looks like a modern website rather than one stuck in the 90's. It's buggy right now because it's just launched, it's not rocket science.

Also, if you don't like it just leave. It's only a forum and no one is forcing anyone to stay.

Easy for you to say. I would leave if I didn't use GS to manage my games. The followed section was nice, but the ability to group the wish list and my collection alphabetically or chronologically was what kept me here for so long. And according to the poll, I am in the majority. What use is a new and shiny site if all the functionality is gone?

I really don't want to see the boxart for every game on my collection/wish list. That is tedious to scroll through. On the other hand, if I hover over it, the option to see the boxart would be nice, though not necessary. I am with everyone on this, this needs to be fixed.

I just want the old site back where I have different organizational functionality for my games collection, wish list and followed games. If they do that, I'll definitely transfer all the games to an Excel spreadsheet and be done with it. I thought I should do it earlier, but didn't have time. Now I have no way to get all my wish list back without going through my stack through a tedious and boring process.

PS: I wonder if they'll make a Feedbackula out of the new site problems.

Agree with all the comments posted here so far. This was the feature that kept me here more than anything. Now it's effectively gone, since "Stacks" are COMPLETELY useless. You can't even sort by TITLE, let alone score, platform, or release date. "Step back" doesn't even convey it... adding insult to injury, as someone said above, a lot of my games have been randomly changed to the Japanese versions for no apparent reason.

My thoughts E-X-A-C-T-L-Y! Sorting was one of the features is used Gamesport the most for and now is GONE! :( I sure hope it's a bug soon to be fixed and not something permanent!

Not a single GS staff has said anything on the bug fixes forum since the new site rollout. At least, none that I could find. I thought it would be fixed, but for the above reason, I am coming around to the realization that it is a feature and not a bug that can be fixed. HATE the new site. Now I've got to redo all my games collection. SUX BALLS! :(

I wonder if they will provide the Collections as a feature for subscribers... If so, I'll be disappointed. Tremendously.

I initially thought there would be some people who would like the features that have been implemented, but there are none. Every single person in the forums seems to think poorly of the new site. Seems like the design decisions were made with extremely poor choices.

Guys, I had the same thought (dismay) when I first saw the site yesterday, but I don't think the site's contents have fully rolled out yet. Give GS some time. If programmers themselves said that the collections would remain, I'm pretty sure it will. It just hasn't rolled out yet.

I frequent another site that currently underwent a redesign from the ground up. Buckeyeplanet. There, all the features weren't rolled out in a day. It took a couple of weeks. I am sure this feature has been programmed, but just hadn't rolled out yet. Just wait guys. It's not even been 24 hours. Be patient for it, I'm sure it'll happen. I hope.

PS: I thought I had it bad with 100 games on my collection and 140 on my wish list... Boy was I wrong... :lol:

I had 1800+ in my collection and around 1500 in my wish list.

Now I have 0 in my collection and 1500 in my wish list. But, my wish list is totally useless since it's unreadable in any way what-so-ever.

So that effectively puts me at 0 and 0. The feature is gone.

Agreed. Games collection was better the previous way. Now that I've gone there and notied it, there are new games on my wish list that I didn't put on there. There are games on my collections that I didn't put on there. It is a mess.

Previously, I could group games on a particular platform on my wish list and my collections. Now that feature is gone. I could order it by release date, that feature is gone. It really sucks. I have to do my research all over again. The game names have been changed weirdly. Dark Cloud 2 has become Dark Chronicle 2 (though the link from the stacks leads to the proper review). Oddly enough, the picture says "Dark Chronicle 2" as well, which is weird.

I had 100 games on my collection and 140 on my wish list. Now there are 94 games on my collection and 134 on my wish list. What happened to the 6, I don't know. This is a problem because I use GS as the sole way to manage my games collection and keep track of what games I've played, and what games I've finished.

Secondly, I need to print the list of games on my wish list, so I can take it to my nearest Gamestop and buy them. That seems impossible with the new format. Additionally, I have a preferred console for most games. Any way to figure out what the preferred console is for each game on my stack? Seems inefficient.

Is it out for the PS3 or is it just an X360 game?
