My biggest gripe about video games nowadays...

[Archae]

For the past couple years they all have this warning when they are started, "This videogame may cause you to spaz out." (Paraphrased, I know.)

I mean, did any epileptics have a seizure due to a videogame and then sued? :shrug:

1. my biggest gripe is that they're all the same.

with the exception of the nintendo wii, there has been almost no innovation in gameplay.

playstation 3 is the lamest thing i've ever seen in my life, nothing anyone can say will change my mind.

2. I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised

I suffer from vertigo which has been induced by things like quick scene changes in movies or fast-paced video games. It's annoying but a lot less serious than a full-on seizure.

Why is this a gripe? If they really can cause a seizure, why is it unreasonable to have a warning? I have a friend who's epileptic - if she can avoid a seizure, I'm sure she's a lot happier. :shrug:

3. Photosensitive epilepsy

What bums me out is that I've been playing games for years, and I have yet to go into seizures. I'm all about the free buzz.

4. Probably just CYA

The Wii and GameCube have some of the coolest games. I'm an old school Final Fantasy freak, so I don't know about much of the FPS and such.
