Quote: "Sounds boring"
A computer game using sounds to guide you through an imaginary world, in the same way that video games use video to guide you through an imaginary world? And that sounds Boring to you??? How so?
Quote: "Vision is better than hearing"
Who can put more value in one human sense over another? Is vision better than taste too? Is vision better than the sense of smell as well? And what if you didn't have vision? If it were up to you, I guess blind people would just be "out of luck. It's too boring..."
Quote: "You can discribe things using text. I'd rather see things than imagine them."
Yes, you can describe things through text, but I would much rather hear somebody read the text to me than to have to read it myself. For some reason, I get bored faster when I have to read, but when somebody reads to me, I stay interested longer.
Quote: "It'd be too hard to play anything fast-paced and wouldn't be fun."
Who says that "Computer Games Must be Fast Paced?" A computer game can be fun without being fast paced. Take solitaire for instance. It's a very fun game, but the pace is as slow as you want it to be. It gives you time to think ... time to use your mind.
Imagine, if you will, early radio shows. Before TV was invented, many radio shows would entertain people for hours using only sound. When people walked down a hall, you would hear footsteps. When they were outside, you would hear wind howling. When people were scared, they were breathing fast.
Now what if you turned that into a computer game? What about a game that had action, mystery, and suspense? And it only used sound?
And I love Raven's idea about using forced feedback. Using the sense of feel is super! What a good combo!
You can use your mind and your imagination for so much more than ... normal video games we have today where all you do is kill people, and shoot people ... and it's fast paced ... and you call that "fun"? In my opinion, the market is getting too caught up in the "same old same old". Most games now adays are all alike! There's no imagination. There's no creativity. And for me, that means there is no "fun".
