Re: The last of us part ii discussion
Hi,
after having read a few articles and topics, including this one, I still don't know if it's worth buying a ps4 for this game.
I think I'd rather ask you a few questions.
We hear many things here about accessibility, often mixed up with playability. My point is : what's playable is certainly not always accessible.
I'm pretty sure a totally blind person can finish the entiere game, but that does not make the game ccessible. I've read about navigation assistance, but are we talking about a real assistance (like audio indication), or about a system that guides you from one objective to another. What about shooting for example? I've read about slow motion, automatisation, but it seems to me that there's almost nothing between assistance and cheat code, meaning absolutly no offense.
So my question would be : are we talking about a game that's accessible because its environment is so, or a game that's playable because we can alternatively cheat our way through it or skipp the most difficult puzzles?
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to see accessibility making its way into the videogames world, and I consider this new game as an example of how things may and should be. So I'm definitly not complaining about what has been done. I'm just asking because, if some people can do with playability, I can't, certainly not if I must pay a game consol for it.
Best regard,
Simon
