Nah this ain't it. Mendinso didn't even imply that "the worst" was a statement that applied to all people, even all disabled people. A person can say that something is the worst without it defining how other people should feel about it, and a disabled person is entitled to have feelings about gimmicks that restrict their ability to play games.
Explain how it paints an overly broad brush for Mendinso to say that he hopes for something to not happen
I'm not sure that you can make an accessible Wii Sports. Maybe the analog stick could be used as a facsimile of motion control but I can definitely recognize the stance that such games just straight up should not exist
Okay, but it doesn't comment on your enjoyment at all to say that he doesn't enjoy them. You're the only one who painted with an overly broad brush by wielding another person's disability against Mendinso's argument. Just take the L and stop trying to find a way to make your initial boneheadery seem more understandable.
I guess that's just NES golf lol
yeah, you can definitely make sports games with button controls, but the level of control would be greatly reduced
Okay, so if someone said they wished they would stop making sequels for a game they do not like, that paints with an overly broad brush? I literally cannot possibly comprehend the logic that, just because someone doesn't like something, that it's a threat to its existence lmao
Well, I guess it's possible that a single poster on a forum Nintendo's never heard of might influence a company that doesn't listen to its fansYeah, I do find it kind of threatening because it already feels like a pattern that Nintendo is trending away from. Make some jokes about how the Wii U is irrelevant and obsolete and oh boy you'll get me irrationally going
things like mario odyssey's baffling motion inputs sure, but wii/switch sports really are motion controls. as I said above, maybe they could use analog sticks to get close to the range and complexity of motion, but a buttons vs motion tennis game for example would be very unfair, whether by demanding too little of buttons (press a to hit in the right direction automatically) or too much (flick with the analog stick)
I feel conflicted on this whole issue of accessibility. One one hand, if you are able to open the game up to more people, without compromising its creative vision or quality, then that's fantastic. But I feel like "accessibility" is just being used as another one of those cynical, corporate scams focused more on high profit margins and virtue signaling, rather than actually making things acessible.
I mean, watch just one single video of a visually impaired gamer playing The Last of Us Part II and tell me how it's not making things more accessible.
I mean yeah, that's great. But not every game is like The Last of Us Part II. Like I said, it's a complex issue that shouldn't be forced into a one-size-fits-all answer. Every game is unique, and each requires different approaches.
lol way to miss the point of Mendinso's posts
I understand your frustrations. But I'm just saying there are developers and companies who are just jumping on this issue to make a quick buck, and there are also those who are genuinely making an effort to make games acessible. There's both sides to this issue.
Nobody's trying to insult you here though. I'm all for accessibility if the game benefits from it, and I believe most games would benefit from these options. I just think each game should have its own options tailored to them. Every game is unique and every disabled gamers is unique.
