News Comments > Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony
21. Re: Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony Nov 8, 2009, 17:41 Burrito of Peace
 
With screen resolutions going up to higher than I ever would have thought possible, some of the fonts on the games are too tiny for anyone with glasses to read, much less the visually impaired.

Get better glasses. I have wretched eyesight but I have zero problems reading any text in any game I have ever played on an extremely high resolution.

Why "should" they be "standard", these features you address? Pitch it to me from a business standpoint, not a touchy feely human interest story standpoint. Features require manhours. Manhours require people with skills. Those people cost money. The amount of the total playerb base who would benefit from these features is probably less than 1% so the return on the investment is zero...point...zero.

There's no justifiable business need for these "features" when, as a business, my job is to make a profit by appealing to the widest customer base possible for the lowest cost feasible.

Fuck off, blind shitbag.

Were it any other country, we'd toss your worthless ass out in to the gutter where you belong to die of starvation, exposure and disease.

And I fucking hate Sony.

But I hate attention whoring, self-entitled cripples more.

I gave it a shot and this sums up my opinion:

It's like a group of retarded kids got together to make Hexic after seeing it in an old magazine.

I cry at pictures of a naked Monica Bellucci.

But then, I tend to weep at the sight of exquisitely beautiful things.

I wanted to love this game so much.

Alas, it was a little too limited in scope for me.

I do not actively run an AV. I feel that I do not need to given the way that I use my system.

Once every three months or so, I'll grab the latest version of Avira and give it a full system scan.

Haven't had a virus in years.

Too bad the gameplay is identical to the last version.

How about a galaxy not torn by war and crime? Is peaceful intersystem trading too much to ask for?

Why couldn't Derek's game be like X3?

Because then they wouldn't be Battlecruiser. By that I mean they would be fun, enjoyable games from a developer that listens to its fanbase.

"Derek is a talentless ass clown who couldn't find his ass if his hands were crazy glued to his butt cheeks."

grudgebear

You know for all the realism that Derek likes to pretend is present in his games, everything is unrealistically clean, and laid out in geometric patterns. There's no dirt on the roads, no chips in the concrete, no soot on the engines; just endless bland or garishly colored polygons and textures in grid patterns as far as the eye can see.

Lighting effects take dick all to do these days. Where are the weather effects? Is every planet a perfect paradise without precipitation, air movement or tectonic activity? If this is due to "terraforming", where is the evidence left over from said "terraforming"?

So when is 4000AD's first game coming out?

When 1999 releases their engine code to the public domain.

Yep.

It's usually one of two things:

1. Something they think sounds Asian.

2. Something stoner related.

More on 10-15-09. Until then, go ahead, chat amongst yourselves.

I'll give it a shot. I'm damned hungry for a good space based MMO. Surprise me, Mr. Smart.

MW would be better suited for an anime.

Ugh, no. MechWarriors are not plucky 15 year old boys with the voices of 6 year old girls.

They're battle hardened veterans in 50+ tons of death.

But he's not fucking kidding when he says that he's shipped more than a dozen games

That's not indicative of learned experience. I uploaded 31 BASIC games back in the BBS days. It garners the same amount of credibility. Zero. Ever heard of Morte Bellum? No? Most people haven't heard of Angle of Attack either.

In today's world, three guys and $100,00 can make an indie game. Hell, if they do it as a hobby and self-fund, they can churn out plenty of small, niche titles.

When you've got multiple titles that are platinum hits or better, then you can say you have the credibility on what it takes to make it as a real player in the industry.

OH HAI BLOO! I WANTED TO SAY THAT I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LOVE ALL BOLD TEXT AS MUCH AS I LOVE READING EVERYTHING IN ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS. BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, I AM SURE YOU DO TOO AND WOULD LOVE TO POST EVERY SINGLE ENTRY EVER IN NOT ONLY ALL BOLD BUT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ALL CAPS IN SOMETHING LIKE A 72 POINT FONT. THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY MAKE EVERYTHING EASIER TO READ, EVEN TO THE GUY ACROSS THE STREET WHO WATCHES ME THROUGH HIS TELESCOPE AS I DANCE MY FAT ASS AROUND IN MY WHITEY TIGHTIES TO NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. I MEAN REALLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT USABILITY AND EASE OF ACCESS RIGHT?

Repost, I know...but the bolding is absolutely retarded and ridiculous to read. I'm not a fan of the "On Sale" feature either as if I wanted to read a circular, I wouldn't come to one of the oldest gaming news* sites on the web. However, other people do want it so I'm happy to compromise on the blatant advertising for a complete lack of bold.

*Yes, I understand the irony.
