That's just it though. I loved those games... but would the average vi
gamer who never tried it or had any mainstream game want to put in that
much work? I remember one of my friends hated mainstream games...
because
being totally blind, she couldn't see the point. So one day, when me
and a
couple other friends were messing around with them, I decided to make
her
try it... right then it was soul calibur, which was a good start since
there's only three attack buttons you have to worry about plus a guard
button. Obviously that's without going deeper... but for a newbie, that
was all it needed. So I asked her what style she liked to play, as in
if
she was to fight what kind of character would she go for? She said
someone
speedy, fast, and was the dart in and then dart out again kinda
character.
So I picked Taki, taught her how to move and some basic combos, and
about
20 minutes into it she had us on the run. She's not hardcore into
gaming,
but she'll play something every now and then whenever we get together.
Point was, all it took was to learn the sounds and the commands, and
the
rest was up to her. Being so good with tactics it didn't surprise me.
But
the point is... blind gamers should realize that it really isn't so
complicated. I think Yohandy is getting frustrated with this and I can
understand it. It's so frustrating to see. I don't know who goes on the
audio games forum, but this Bokura no Daibouken game is quite the spark
among audiogamers. It's a side scroller action rpg, and it's amazing...
but the catch is, it's in Japanese. And people are asking so many
questions, which is fine, until the same questions get repeated over
and
over again. People haven't figured out how to choose their speech
engine,
despite having been given menu instructions many, many times over. And
there are the people who refuse to play because the menus aren't
translated. While that's fair to an extent, mainstream gamers import
games
all the time. Especially with the ps3 not being region-locked, many
gamers
buy games exclusively released in Japan and Asia, and don't have
translations in the game.. they have to surf the web for that. And
while
the story may be hard to figure out, the game is still fun. For those
interested, check out the below two topics.
Here's the official game topic:
http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=6813
The developer is from Japan, and he's 14 or 15... so obviously English
isn't his first language.
And here's my walkthrough. Having some command of Japanese, I can
translate some of the story. I'm not fluent, but I know enough to get
the
basic gist across. I also translate menus, and give a bit more of an
example of what this game is like... this game is truly amazing for an
audio game. If there were graphics for this game, it would be an indi
title worth paying at least 20 bucks for.

Hi,
Right. The same applies to the WWE wrestling games for Play Station
and XBox. Certainly there is a fair amount of things you have to
remember like menus, remember what button performs what buttons you
need to pull off a certain wrestling move, but otherwise pretty
playable. If you have the commentary turned on in the WWE games you
get a good idea what happened or didn't happen in a lot of cases. For
hard core WWE blind fans it can be done, but you have to practice at
the games to make them accessible because you can't just scroll
through a menu and have it tell you that you've selected John Cena,
Randy Orton, CM Punk, whatever because they aren't accessible in that
way. However, if you braille up a list of the menus and refer to it
when going through the menus to setup a match then no problem. Just
count down so many clicks to find the option you want and select it.
Once you get into the match itself its similar to the fighting games
where you listen to what the opponent is trying to do, and block it
followed up with a suplex, slam, or some other counter move.
Cheers!
