Video Games, Accessibility and Invincibility

The Outerhaven writes: If you use Twitter in any capacity and have decided to expose yourself to the toxic depths of the gaming community’s social media channels, you probably have heard that Double Fine announced an invincibility toggle for Psychonauts 2, which has reignited the age-old argument.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s rookie explorer mode makes the player unkillable during combat. Why weren’t people up in arms about rookie explorer mode ?

shadowhaxor1773d ago

Because it wasn't something that was talked about.

Although your question is legitimate, that is not really addressing the topic.

To me, there are people who have some physical or mental reason why they cannot finish games and progress through the whole story. If you consider gaming an art, there should be no reason why those people should not be able to enjoy that art through these settings if the developer so chooses.

For the people that are competitive and like to brag about what they have completed.... That is about your gaming profile with achievements and/or trophies.

Whether it be Psychonauts 2, R&C or whatever.

If the game is made to do it then go for it. It's great for kids and people that like game-genie stuff.

Metabeard1773d ago

I'm all for it. I played through Rift apart with my 7 year old and because of Rookie explorer mode we are now playing a crack in time and he is excited to play the other games in the series. It really helped him be able to get into it and his skills are improving quickly. I'm all for games that want to do it do it. If your game is lets say, a souls kinda thing and the difficulty is considered part of the experience then that is great too. Games are for everyone just not every game is for every person. Let them play games!

I just don't understand how this is even a thing for SP games. Who cares what setting you play on in the privacy of your own home.

Not as Good as August we got Lies of P and Day Z.

Terry_B272d ago

Better than August, we got Stardew Valley and Psychonauts 2.

FinalFantasyFanatic272d ago

I think it's more perspective, Lies of P is good, but I already own Psychonauts 2, and I don't care for Stardew Valley, so August was better for me. But if I had none of these games, nor certain preferences, September is the better overall month.

darthv72272d ago

Psychonauts 2 is a fun game.

Abnor_Mal272d ago

Nothing of interest for me this month.

FPSRUSSIA272d ago

same ill be adding them to my Library but wont be playing them.

Abnor_Mal272d ago

Same adding to library but not playing.

thorstein272d ago

Different I'll be playing them but won't be adding them to my library

Neonridr272d ago

I always just add everything to my library so I can download them in the future if I want. These games don't particularly interest me, but good for those who were looking forward to playing them.

maximusprime_272d ago

Viewfinder is a great puzzle game. A must for fans of puzzles
