A lot of people seem to have difficulty finishing games with a lot of spiders in them, especially in games that aren't horror games specifically. A lot of people couldn't get past the Frostbite Spiders in Skyrim or the Spider Pit level in Dark Messiah.
In fact, Dark Messiah had a quite often downloaded no-spider mod which replaced all spider models with pigs, which made pigs crawling on the walls no less unsettling, but probably triggered less phobias. Should games should have options already to deal with people with arachnophobia?
its not like i want to be scared of spiders. ill still play a good game with spiders in it but ill just be uneasy a lot of the time ie: metro last light, hollow knight

>Portia jumping spiders are so high IQ that they specialized on hutning other spiders and forge plans to attack, while capable of trial and error learning
No, to overcome your fear (or whatever your hang up is) you need to expose yourself to them in a controlled environment. Not avoid them at all costs.

Phobias aren't real, you nigger. Stop being a pussy.
Owen Bailey
post some cute vidya spiders
Christopher Watson
Why should there be any more than any other phobia?
Henry Bell
Games should have an option just for you, and when toggled on it makes every enemy a spider.
Cooper Johnson
Does that work for phobias?
Adrian Johnson
I have a really bad roach phobia. But I'd still play a game that featured hordes of roaches because I'm not that big of a pussy
Carson Sanders
Yes, it does.
Daniel Fisher
I want to say no.
Unless it's a VR game. Then fucking yes. Throwing fucking spiders at me in VR is FUCKED.
Lincoln Moore
My favorite is when killing one spider unleashes a spawn of many more
Eli Thompson
You're a good man. All you pussies look at this man and learn!
Isaiah Mitchell
I had difficulty finishing Dark Messiah only because of the glitches. I was fucking pissed when the game just would not accept the last gem on the spider statue. Fuck that level but not because of spiders
Justin Martin
No, and virtual spiders are unironically a great way for arachnophobes to get over their phobia gradually, or at least make it less obtrusive.
I have a phobia about needles and injections in general. Probably stopped me from enjoying bioshock. Still there is a shitload of things people have phobias for and they can't add accessibility options for each and every one of them. Just think it through and realize that it's only a game and nothing displayed on the screen is real.

Fuck off with that shit, you have literally no reason to be scared of spiders. Yes, you humans have some kind of an instinct formed from your ancestors fighting venomous species, but most of spiders now aren't dangerous at all and just want to live in peace.
It's literally pixels on a screen you fucking retarded zoomer piece of shit.

Maybe a cock (cock) in your ass will calm you down.

I really don't like how games with giant spiders make them so slow Imagine a jumping spider the size of a small dog that moves so fast it appears to be teleporting short distances

>a lot of people seem to have difficulty finishing games with a lot of spiders in them >a lot of people women and trannies, nobody gives a shit about such crybabies
Small critters generally move faster in relation to their body size compared to the bigger ones.

when i was a kid i used to always have to play minecraft on peaceful mode because i was scared shitless of the spiders. even now i don't like exploring abandoned mineshafts, those fucking spider nests with the ones that poison are straight from satan's asshole
I'm the only one who thinks with all this debate around Sekiro difficulty and accessibility, that both sides have a point? While I think developers should have the last saying when it comes to difficulty and that journalists are being bitchy and whiny when it comes to demanding it, I feel it's a valid suggestion to add some options to help disabled people to enjoy the game. After all, lots (if not all games already) have options to balance audio, add subtitles, change luminosity. Things like a colorblind mode should be easy to implement and would be non disruptive to the game difficulty. Not all disabilities can be covered sadly, but as long developers, consumers and journalists remenber this, it shouldn't be a problem. And returning to the topic, I think they could try, like putting a weblink that advises of phobias and trigger warnings.
Only if I get an agoraphobia accessibility option for open world games. I only want them to have small, closed corridors instead of vast open spaces.
Noah Garcia
Not sure that counts as an irrational phobia, that's a healthy one so long as you can suppress it for the duration of a dentist visit.
Noah Long
I have arachnophobia, fucking shudder uncontrolably when i see the a spider, but i could not give a shit about spiders in game. Like only time I was a little "eww" is those sadoko bitches in the spawp from Dark Souls 3.
Many many years ago I had a friend that loved Zelda. She was playing through TP (it had just come out) and got to the part that you need to carry midna through the castle sewers. That's where you face the very first spider in TP, and they are creepy as fuck.
She legit had a panic attack, and asked me to tell her whenever there were spiders (I was ahead of her in the game) so she could prepare herself.
Let's just say temple of time was rough on her.
Connor Howard
I get grossed out by some spiders (especially hairy ones like tarantulas, even though I know they're harmless), but I love scorpions.
Joseph Stewart
I also do not fear scorpions and spider-like creatures like crabs. I think its down to them not having a big hairy moving abdomen.
Jonathan Perry

>How big of a pussy do you have to be to legitimately be afraid of video games Yeah.
I'm arachnophobic to the point that any spider bigger than my fingernail makes me spill my spaghetti, and even I don't have a problem with 3d-rendered virtual spiders. Stop being a pussy.
