What if you're deaf? Does that mean every game is shitty?

>>322988074
>turn off speakers
>game is still perfectly playable
>turn off monitor
>game crashes

That pretty much rules out every 3D game ever made.

How?

>>322988548
Congrats. 5 years wasted.

What do you mean by "first try"? No death runs? That would mean every hard game is bad or that the person need to be a god to do no death runs in every game he plays for the first time.

>>322987607
fuck no

>>322988548
How the fuck?

>>322989134
It only makes sense if you parse it "impossible to beat using only audio cues on the first try"
As in, if you can beat it using only audio cues before beating it normally

>>322989509
But to use audio cues you would need to know them, so in your first try at every audio cue you would need to gamble in which defensive maneuver you'll need to use to avoid damage since you're relying only on audio and ignoring visual cues so unless the game is so easy that you can afford taking gambles and still win on your first try it's probably a shit game.

>>322989962
I think the idea is to be more inclusive to blind gamers, who can't use visual cues at all.

>>322990291
That's a poor reasoning, it's the same as saying we should not have more than 2 buttons to be more inclusive to fingerless gamers.

>>322988238
>turn off monitor
>game crashes
Don't think that is possible. As far as the game is concerned video output is still being sent.

>>322987607
Nope.
In fact, I'd argue that it's blatantly untrue since most games that stand the test of time and are truly great are turn-based.You can't really play them based on audio alone.

>>322987607
Name one game that you can beat with only audio.

>>322990978
Tetris

>>322988548
God damn.

The persistence it must have taken to accomplish that is pretty admirable desu.

>>322990728
I remember a long time ago when a game did this. It was way back in the 98 era, and I was too young to remember clearly now, but I do remember that happening

>>322990978
Shadows Of Mordor can actually be beaten without audio or video.

>>322990978
A good number of rhythm games, probably

>>322990978
any game with no RNG, you can get the pattern down after enough repetition

>>322991487
not like a blind person has anything meaningful to do with their time.

Unless you're talking about Rhythm Heaven nearly all other games involve 50/50 audio and visual cues unless you already know the song inside and out %100.

>>322988548

If op is saying this makes ocarina a bad game he's retarded. Dude took 5 years to do it. And it never claims he never died.

>YUO ARE BLIND NOW, YOU MUST CHOOSE
>ACHIEVE INNER PEACE AND MASTER YOUR HEIGHTENED HEARING TO ACHIEVE WORTHY GOALS IN LIFE
>OR PLAY VIDEO GAME FOR FIVE YEARS THAT HAS ONLY WRITTEN TEXT

>>322987607
What the fuck

How are you even supposed to know what the audio cues are if you're playing it first try?

Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus can and have been beaten by blind people.

Source? Those games are fucking hard even with eyesight.

No
Stop posting this shitty tumblr image, you already posted it last week

>>322993623
Kind of a let down, it looks like he uses quick-saves to help beat them but here:

>>322994284
Well that seems reasonable enough to me. The dude already can't see.

This is the same guy who beat OoT brw. He also used save states there.

>>322991534
Oh? That's interesting. Could you reproduce the crash by turning the monitor off?

Nethack.
You think I'm kiddin' don'tcha.

>>322995646
I think I might have actually, I was like 8 I think at the time, and a little retarded, so my memory isn't the best at this

>>322995816

Yea you are, because you get wrecked in nethack by rng where audio wont help you.

You made this thread a while ago and got blown the fuck out, why do you think this time will be any different?

I can play a game without any audio perfectly fine, I often play games while listening to podcasts.

All of them if your memory is good enough.

>>322988548
Why the fuck would any blind person play video games. it's like picking up basketball as a hobby when you're missing both arms, like literally why

>>322996647
There are baseballs with beepers inside of them so that blind batters can tell where they are
Your analogy doesn't hold up

But the picture says first try. Dudes who practice playing games blindfolded have it all memorized.
