Battling Seizure Robot

Replies

  • That is ridiculous to have. I feel it is making fun of people who have seizures. I have epilepsy but luckily I am not affected by flashing lights. There are people out there who are photosensitive. I feel very angry that seizures are a form a joke with that being around. It isn't a joke at all. It is a very serious condition. I have had epilepsy since I was 11 months old and I am 36 now. I had surgery 2 years ago to help with them.

    You do realize simspons is a comedy show, and they satire and parody many things? This was not making fun of people with seizures (none of the simpons even have epilepsy), it is making fun of Japanese shows that could induce seizures. Context.

    You cannot do anything anymore without offending somebody...and then you have liberals who take it one step further by looking for things to be offended about on others' behalves.
  • He's a very manly robot ;) His big red arrow collar screams look at my big junk ;) Just looking at him is seizure inducing! And his eyes/face remind me of Zorro....Robot Zorro! What's not to love? :D<3
  • I got it and like some others who have said, seems to have got itself lost.

  • The pop up said robots...plural. I thought we could buy more than one and they would battle. I regret getting it even though it wasn't very expensive. It's just sort of nothing.

  • I like the NPC's because sometimes you luck out and they become playable characters down the road (Mr. Teeny, Snow Monster, Santa's Little Helper). Also, I'm a sucker for robots.

    I get where your coming from but this is how the Simpsons do their brand of satire and parody. Jokes about seizures were featured prominently in the Japan episode on the show so it makes sense that the game would do the same.

    The jokes weren't ABOUT the seizures anyway, they were about the weirdness of Japanese shows. Just so happens that the flashing robots set off seizures.

    My son has seizures...he was not offended by the episode.

    Same here, I just bought it and the screen flashed and it's nowhere to be found.

    Same here, flash and watch your donuts disappear

    Add me to the list can't-find-it-anywhere. Bought this morning while still half asleep
  • I must have been lucky. When I loaded my game at 2:00 AM, it took me to my last played area (Springfield Heights). I bought the robot upon opening the game, and then Milhouse's uncle appeared wanting tasks done at the airport, which is clear across town. After I returned, the robot was right where I bought him.
  • I would have preferred the KTV building play the battle robots cartoon on the TV screen.
  • I checked the files and it's 3 flashes :D

  • They are out of genuine content FOR real! This is the STUFF that we can expect going forward I regrettably presume. They may have some newer tie in QUEST but its looking like relevant content is all but done. I was hoping for more FAMILY related items that I could sprinkle in to my existing Evergreen Terrace section... on a side note, my Yes GUY is getting lonely I fear.

    Ha! See what I did there?

    Just the latest garbage premium item in an endless sea of trashy premium items from this event. Too bad because the airport and a few of the landmarks were pretty cool all things considered. Plus who doesnt love land and free land tokens! Those were the best prizes by far! Feeling bad for completionists lately...

  • They are out of genuine content FOR real!


    Sorry, but I have to say something. This event has so much fantastic content. Some of the nicest content I've seen in awhile. The trees are so cool. All the Japanese stuff is so beautifully designed. It's amazing. The robot wasn't great, but they are allowed to have a few flops. Dia Betty is AWESOME. So much good stuff.

    Just wanted to say this so EA knows they are appreciated.

  • I've changed my mind on him and just picked up my very own. Can never have too many robots in my town.

  • Immediate buy, but I did think there would be a possibility of robots, plural.

    The whole screen rapidly flickers.
    That intrigued me. I found the robot at a neighbor's.

    I'd say the idea is greater than the execution. Those flashes just hurt my eyes. I'd at least like something more "flashy" with the flashes.

    FYI, guidelines were established to prevent reactions of an epileptic nature:
    *Flashing images, especially those with red, should not flicker faster than three times per second. If the image does not have red, it still should not flicker faster than five times per second.

    *Flashing images should be displayed for a total duration of less than two seconds.

    *Stripes, whorls and concentric circles should not take up a large part of a TV screen.

    It's funny....I just watched the clip of Pikachu trying to shock Japanese kids' eyes and yet this robot is the only thing that hurt my eyes. So, I'm saying, give me some red and blue, EA. Nintendo doesn't own those colors....

    I like that word construction.

    I think we're all too blinded to accurately count. That's why everyone says two, lol.

  • I know. That's why I said Pikachu. I'm trying to be accurate here since most headlines demonized Porygon (since it's in the title of the episode.)

    I think Porygon 2 looks like that drinking bird that came with King sized Homer. (From memory...I didn't look at either before commenting.)
