Looking for Xbox 360 Arcade Shmups Without Seizure Warnings

Post by Roboplodicus »

Edit:Basically I experienced what from what I've read, a very brief seizure playing radiant silvergun a couple days ago. I'm going to consult a doctor and talk about this with them so I can get an idea of what is going on and to see how serious it is. Its seems weird to me because I've never had anything like that happen to me before and I'm in my 30s and I've been gaming all my life, but thats how life is sometimes and I guess its something I need to be aware of going forward now.

You should consult a doctor instead. Having the seizure warning screen or not doesnt guarantee anything.

Exactly, the warnings are just certain publishers trying to cover their ass legally. In fact, back when digital games weren't as prevalent these warnings were often tucked away as "fine print" in the instruction manual. When games went digital, and didn't include manuals, some publishers would include the warnings into the actual game.

Sorry to hear about this. Definitely should talk with your doctor because many games could be a potential trigger.

It would feel dangerous for me to suggest some alternative games, as I'm not educated on the details of such seizure triggers.

You guys make some good points consulting a doctor is probably something I should do just to get an idea of what is going on and to see how serious it is because I did some quick reading and what I think happened to me would be medically speaking a kind of brief seizure. Its seems weird to me because I've never had anything like that happen to me before and I'm in my 30s and I've been gaming all my life, but I guess its something I need to be aware of going forward now.
