Sorry Yohandi, but in terms of rhythm games, I'd have to agree with
Charles. Especially being a musician, it's much more appealing to
bust out my guitar, turn on the amp and just blast away. I can
improvize without being penalized, even... action games are something
completely different. Playing music in real life won't get you
charged for crime.

why play GTA, when you can actually steal cars and beat up people in
real life? Why play Mortal kombat? might as well do real fatalities
since that'll be way more realistic. oh and tank commander? c'mon,
use a real tank! much more fun that way

About a game like Guitar Hero, I ask: Why pretend when you can do
it for real? I would rather plug my electric guitar into my amp,
crank the volume up on my computer or stereo speakers, put in a CD
or tape, and play along with my favorites, or work on learning a
new one, or jam with other musicians than use something artificial.

Yeah but here's the thing. how will you know if you can play it
when you actually aren't even willing to try the game out? just
because a sighted person tells you so? I had sighted people
telling me oh you can't play rock band, so don't even bother
purchasing it. you gotta see the colored games. well, I'm playing
rock band. and to those asking how do I play it when I'm blind, I
won't even bother answering that question, mainly because we've
answered it plenty of times and it makes absolutely no difference.
Isn't it quite obvious that video games have sound? do you guys
somehow think that just cause it's called a video game this means
that it's video exclusive and a totally muted gaming experience?
*sigh*. someone mentioned they don't play rock band because
they're musicians. all I gotta say to that is wow. I really hope
you don't always have that outlook on life.

Hi Liam,
I totally agree. If I know there is a game out there that a blind
person can play that may indeed be intended for sighted players,
then I am willing to give it 100% concentration. Hell, I would
even go out and buy the console it was designed for, just to play
that game. But if you can't play it, because you need a degree of
sight, then what is the point in wasting investments and time
just to completely end up embarrassing yourself with it because
you can't play properly like your sighted peers can? In my
opinion that's just prejudice.
Regards,
Damien.
