I don't understand why people really need to push for games being "Art". Have you seen modern art? Not only is it such a downgrade in many aspects but any criticism of their technique & lack of beauty is washed over from the "It has a deeper message" & "You just don't get it".

  • There is also the fact that it breeds crazy hacks who think they're hot stuff & don't need any criticism.

    Yeahs1
  • And there is also the fact that "Art" these days is taken over by post modernists. A bunch of soup cans is considered art to them. ANYTHING can be art as long as they invent some hidden meaning, & you can invent a hidden meaning for anything at all.

  • Storyline, graphics, gameplay, give me two or more out of the three, and I'm good.

  • I certainly don't think "Modern art" is what anyone is pushing for. Especially since these days art can be anything from a dot on a page to a bunch of random lines. I think VG (Some of them anyway) leans towards literature more than art, literature can't pull the same stuff art does and get away with it. Both have theme, plot, symbolism, character development and conflicts.

  • Take this for example. In my Literature class, we had to read 2 books and compare how they exposed the darkness within people and how they can be corrupted by power in an essay. You can't tell me it's not possible to do that with, say, FFX, Metroid Prime 3, pretth much any Zelda game. Hell, even Kirby RTDL would work. Art, maybe not, but a type of literature, I think so

  • I think it's okay for a game to be artsy as long as the gameplay is fun and the story is good. I draw the line when you start sacrificing gameplay for art.

    Yeahs1
  • "Art" really is just a label thrown around to describe an idea of quality just from some person. This whole thing about making an ego out of something is what's turning that kind of perspective apart.
