Re: what are your thoughts on BSG's new blog post?
Lol, that must be a joke right? Someone actually thinks audio games are better and more fun? Let's be real, we play them because we have to and because there's nothing better. I'm not saying they are bad, for what these guys are managing to pull off mostly alone they are amazing, but far from any competition with mainstream gaming, especially gaming of the current time. As for the topic itself, I don't personally agree all that much with his writing stile either, but there are some valid points. Just play blindfold games, all you need to know. There are so many similar games, and they aren't even free games. Out of 80 games they have, if you can bring up 10 decent games that would be amazing. Even 10 is a small number out of 80 or whatever number he has now. And that's not the only developer. The best part is however he is sighted, so he could totally make something better if he wanted to. Can someone for example tell me major differences between Griff 1 and 2? But they are two separate games you have to buy. I do however completely agree all the criticism should be constructive, but no developer should realisticly expect that. It won't ever happen. Mainstream community, blind community, whatever community, you won't get only constructive feedback. First, there are people who can't speak English well but enough to say that the game sucks. Second, kids play games. Now, kids even release games. There's the side of giving constructive feedback, but there's also the side of constructively releasing your games. How can you take a game seriously when someone says oh here's a new games, you have to kill enemies, link here, enjoy. Or even better, I know it has bugs but I'll fix them, so have fun. We've been getting so much of that stuff lately.
