Gamespot uk are currently running a survey asking us about the website and gamespot at large. There's one section asking for comments about our thoughts on gamespot and its features. I thought i'd share what I added. On their off chance that someone who cares might read it here.

And to see what the general consensus is with other users here. no matter what the region.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the website has some community based features and staff they seem to have been neglected to some extent. For example the Fuse based features plus the original gamespot user page format and blogs, mixed with an overly full forum number and structure couple that with with highly out dated union feature. Unions are a still readily used feature but on the whole they are broken or in need of cross website unity.

Fuse also seems a mis-step. being in conflict with the original member pages. a real merging would be a great step forward, feature both features from the fuse pages and original pages and there's a chance things could work. Ive always wanted to be more involved in the forums and community but its feels so neglected and confused.

Also video uploads are out of date. limits on time. quality.

At this point in the games community at large is changing the way games are looked at and talked about. Leading a shift in the way gamespot and other websites do what they do. But, the very community that's driving these changes are given less ability to be involved in them.

Less focus on user soapbox's, video based content and spotlights leave much of the community feeling out in the cold. this should be the main focus of change for gamespot across all regions
