This is coming from a place of complete ignorance, but man, if you have epilepsy it seems like video games in general should be avoided

It's a spectrum, like so many things, and most of the time someone who has mild epilepsy would be at minimal risk outside of extreme edge cases.

Most games aren't trying to intentionally trigger seizures, though, so :shrug:

The author of the article does say they have issues playing something like Dead Space, too, so I wouldn't call it a mild case that's suddenly triggered by this sequence.

I watched Yongyeas non spoiler review on youtube and thought it was pretty good.

He highlighted several technical issues that he had experienced but stated generally the game was fun to play.

Think he will revisit the technical issues once he sees the day one patch

Well on the bright side the GeForce is a go. I tested The Division 2 (highest end thing I had) and with Ethernet plugged it, I honestly could tell this was all cloud based one bit. Hopefully GoG setup is done by launch day.

Also 42 seconds into that trailer is proof that the game is doing double standards for male vs female nudity, lol. Not their best look.

No, that was just conjecture by a reviewer. There is no evidence they literally went and specifically found epilepsy triggers to purposefully put in their game and I'm not sure why people are saying that.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I think this discussion of how raytracing and light path tracing works my Digital Foundry using the Minecraft engine is probably the most helpful and clear demonstration of the technology and what it’s trying to achieve.

As an aside, I personally love Minecraft with rtx on. I don’t play it, nor do I even own it or a system that could do it, but I find it a remarkable juxtaposition of modernity with the classic block world that really elevates that world to being so much more. Nearly feels like a strange parallel world of blockiness, lit by the same sun as our world.

Long form reviews are absolutely better but could only ever exist weeks or months after a game's release, so they aren't super relevant here. FWIW I find Matthewmatosis to be the best at making this type of content, leagues ahead of others with similar output, but he doesn't upload videos that often.

That said it really does feel like most legit day 1 reviewers don't even make an effort to actually analyze the game they're playing. There's seemingly no middleground between these two types of critics.

A 40 hour game is five 8 hour workdays(well more because I didn't factor in breaks). That's just the gameplay with one playthrough. No what ifs, "did you do X?", different builds or even just going back over parts of the game for whatever reason. Then they have to make the review. And they have 7 days from unlock to embargo being lifted. Not to mention many reviewers for the big sites also work as on air personalities and other functions so they also have to work those hours.

Which is why there is no middleground. The conditions to do more than a surface level okay or not okay doesn't exist for a day one reviewer.

The reviewer didn't even write that, she wrote that the light pattern used in the game is very close to the real pattern used by neurologists to trigger a seizure to the point that it's dangerous. The article is clearly meant to be informative to people who may experience epilesy.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

Yeah. The reviewer just said it was similar, not that it was one. And I expect that a person with epilepsy would know when something is similar to a pattern purposefully designed to cause seizures. And while it's definitely accidental it still speaks pretty poorly of the devs. They seriously couldn't figure that a sequence of extreme flashing lights might cause some seizures? We've all heard about the porygon episode of Pokemon.
