Eye Screaming Games

Posted by Glen on Sept. 15, 2010, 9:30 a.m.

Do you like games that make it hard to focus? Such as games with strobe lights and screen shaking? I wanna know what your opinions are. I know some people like the challenge. Of course any game like this would have a very clear warning for people who may suffer from epilepsy.

I played a few games recently. Arcade genre in mind. And they usually consisted of a few colors and the effects were very flashy and bright. Just wanna know if its attractive to people. Is it more intense? Wanted?

I'm not creating a game like this. I'm just doing a little survey/feedback thing. I like seeing pretty graphics without killing my eyes.

I think the Zelda low-health beep made me die more than it helped me.

This is why I love TF2. You can always tell your amount of health, but it rarely ever distracts you. Only thing that distracts me is looking at the leaderboard >_>

Don't forget typing, Spoon.

…Oh wait, you use a mic. Lucky bastard. I can't get mine to work.

If you are going to do a "flashy" game, do it with style. Gamma 4 by cactus is a excelent example.

Kilin I actually use my webcam as a mic XP

Strobe lights and screen shaking sounds pretty unhealthy to me.

Like that Pokemon episode that killed some Japanese kids.

Didn't it just give them seizures?

It's only that bad when people sit directly in front of a screen when things are flashing.
