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.

@scott_aw Really?

The most randomness and complete chaos I've been able to focus on at one time and still be able to play. Is Geometry Wars…good execution I guess.

Well I don't know if anyone actually died, but I remember hearing about it, and the US version didn't have all the flashiness like the other versions. It would flash to white in like a second or so instead of flashing rapidly.

They also never aired the infamous team rocket transvestite episode.

Craziness.

There are like three banned (or simply ones that haven't aired) Pokemon episodes in the US that I can think of.

- One that gave kids seizures

- The transvestite episode

- One where someone pulls a gun on one of the characters

There are probably more. Because as far as I know, Pokemon wasn't always a kid's show.

I genuinely cannot tell their gender. This confuses and scares me.

Looks like dudes to me. Then again maybe not….damit

That photo reminds me of a game I like to call Mother 3.

Itoi has some crazy ideas, doesn't he?

That's not the best one I could find. Photobucket had one, but we all know how external linking works with Photobucket.

Mother 2 is the best…I wish I still had a SNES to play it.

@kilin the bright colors on that picture give me a headache.

@Eva: I'm playing it right now actually. But Mother 3 probably had the best story. Sadly it was only a Japanese release, though they do have a nice little translation patch available.

Otherwise, just emulate Earthbound.

@Glen: That means I'm still on topic, right?
