It's been a while since we have heard so many complaints about a major PC game release. The PC port of BioShock 2 has generated its share of message board threads with people not happy about the first person shooter's lack of gamepad support and its non-widescreen display issues. Now the title's hacking mini-game is drawning fire from people who are color blind.
As pointed out by Negative Gamer, the hacking uses color bars as its basis and for people with various types of color blindness the system just would not work. A post by 2K Games' community manager states, "I talked to the team about this issue this morning and I'll let you know what I hear back!."
Meanwhile the lack of gamepad support isn't going to be put in, even with the scores of complaints on message boards about the issue. Another message board post from 2K Games' community manager states, " . . to add it now would take a complete re-envisioning of the UI that the team worked so hard to create."

I'm so gladf this was brought up! the hacking is nearly impossible, developers have been adding color blindness options to their games for years now(popcap is relatively famous for it). this game had 3 developers working on it and they cant get this simple stuff right.Posted at 4:48PM on Feb 12th 2010 by ben
