Hi John and others. Yeah, you're right. Now, we have the chance to tell them what they need to change in their games to make them more accessible. They don't need to make special games, designed for us. They just need to make small changes. For example, fully spoken storrylines, fully spoken missions, savepoints with sounds so you can hear when you pass by, a little beep when you can do an action, just like Rise to ornour and stuff like that. It's not much work they have to do. Think about all the graphic in the games. This is very hard to make. They have a lot of voice acting, so why not just make a fully spoken game? Of course not the menus, but the storylines and the missions. I don't think it's difficoult to make a little beep sound either. They simply don't make it because they don't know what we need. Come on guys. What do you think? All your ps2 gamers, please post your thoughts. Shouldn't we make a large ps2 forum where we can discuss ps2 games? We could maybee make a new room on the Audiogames forum? There is not many topics about ps2 games...
