I think it all comes down to what you're looking for in a game, how much sighted help you have, how much you're willing to experiment, and a whole host of other factors. In the end, it all amounts to how much accessibility you want, and what degree of inaccessibility you're willing to put up with. Would you know just from the sounds that one of Scorpion's combos in MK III has him pulling out a battleaxe and slicing his opponent up with it? Can you tell what a fatality does just by the sounds it makes, or do you need a sighted person or internet site to describe them to you? Personally, I'm into the games purely from a point of nostalgia, and enjoy watching someone play if they describe. Occasionally, I'll even pick up a controller, study the move lists, and do a little button mashing myself, but I also won't convince myself that I'm really playing the game. I could probably steal a car in GTA III, and could probably shoot a few people, but I could never jump the buildings on my motorcycle or take pictures of the philandering senator--and if I can't do those things, I can't complete the game, and if I can't complete the game, is it really even accessible?
