Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming community.
on that note I was able to figure out a few pattern puzzle in the abes odyssey game on ps2. You have to do a couple timed puzzles which are on different patterns. then jump in the gaps.

Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming community.
thats a point, most vi games have a menu for learning sounds for each char. Not needed but its a bit better than hit and miss. The menus are not all the issue. Then there are cues true not every game has cues that are obvious or something but they do have them. Some games have target beeps, etc. As I said though usa have not released their full upgraded 3d titles yet which are supposed to change the playability of vi games in general with major upgrades. Right now though the basic blind game is really simple with most of the fluff taken out of it. Even our 3d games are far inferior. In fact in some cases we have crappy games. Though its not all bad. we have simple multiplayer support, not many servers but simple support none the less. We are using between legacy to almost up to date software now and with the new engines it will only get easier. We are lacking in strat, and a few other advanced types, but we are getting there and for devs that have at most 2 people in them that is really good there.

Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming community.
Fair point. But games like that are designed to be central around gameplay... so if you're looking for a fighting game with a good story, stick to Soul Calibur and Blazblue. lol.

Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming community.
I agree with your points Chris, but In fairness I will point out that most beat em ups have both an amazingly complex plot, and require far more than simple pressing of rythm actions in time, not to mention some fantastic atmospheric battles. this is why I myself have played beat em ups for many years (ever sinse the first releases of Mortal Kombat 1 and street fighter 2, both of which I played in the arcades), not really in order simply to do matches, but only for the battles, story and atmosphere of the game. Indeed I frequently tried to complete the game on all characters just for the experience. That is why those beat em ups with inaccessible story mode like the later mk games interest me far less. Were there sufficient quantities of games I would find accessible on say a ps3 or xbox, I'd certainly buy one and play games such as street fighter and blazblu myself. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming community.
Yohandy, It's really very simple. I have a limited time budget to play games at all, let alone games that require me to struggle hard even to understand the interface designed for sighted folk. And frankly, the huge majority of video games interest me as much as the huge majority of movies, television and music out there, which is to say, not at all. This is as much a matter of subject as of interface. I too am totally blind, and frankly a game where I am dependent upon another to even play is not worth my time. I am a musician already, so the Rock band/Guitar hero genre doesn't hold much interest for me; if I'm going to be playing at music, I'd rather be playing or composing music for real. I don't care about first-person shooters or boss-and-level combat games. An immersive role-playing game with complexity that is about more than just being able to hit key combinations with sufficient speed might hold my interest, but I'd have to be able to play it independently. And I have in Time of Conflict, the game I want to play, with huge extensibility, infinite replay value and user configurable maps and scenarios, plus multiplayer play on the new release. So let me turn the question around to you, what would be the benefit to me of mainstream games? I don't find the sort of socializing around gaming very satisfying; I don't feel left out when others are discussing the latest release of Call of Duty, and my gaming needs are met in person or are slowly being met by games with interfaces I can use independently. What is the magical thing I would gain by attempting to play Street Fighter?
