Hi Clemment.
I am not saying you personally cannot play such games, or that sighted
people do not use faqs.
i am saying that the amount of time and trouble it takes a sighted user,
from the day he/she gets the game out of the box to the point of acquiring a
certain loevel of proficiency at that game will be less than the same amount
of time and trouble taken by a blind user.
this is an average, some sighted users may be worse, some blind users
better, but it is a question of general mean average balanced out betwene
the groups.
for example, a blind user needs to memorize options, however quickly you can
do this, it will not be as instant as the sighted user who can read them.
A blind user canot read the special move names and descriptions, and thus
with the absense of a faq has no idea what is going on in the game. A
sighted user has all that information instantly available.
this is why the games are inaccessible, and will remain so until the same
amount of information and feedback is given within the game to a blind user
as a sighted user.
What you do with that information, how well you play, whether you look at
faqs or whatever is irrelevant to that central point.
Afterall, these games are not called "video games" because they play by
sound.
Bewre the grue!
