Has video games finally surpassed film and literature?

Absolutely.

That's all I remember from that game.
>>334355324
I honestly think that due to being playable and interactive, video games may surpass movies as a medium in terms of telling a gripping narrative.
Or at least it has many strengths that are overlooked. Doesn't help that most games that try to tell a story have a shitty fucking story.

What is his audience? What is he hoping to achieve by making these?
>>334355795
It's weird, everything he produces as a list or chart that has to do with media is trite and childish with art ranging from bland to le ebin charicature.
But I read Subnormality and the characters are cool, most of the morals and points are valid, mature, and optimistic in the end, and both the environment and character art is really cool- I swear he hasn't used a remotely similar design for any two background passerby in group shots. I mean granted I personally am ok with wordswordswords, but it's not half bad even with stinkers in the early comics.
What gives with this guy's dichotomy of shit and bretty gud?

Prometheus was great up until they got to the alien ship on the moon for the first time. Then it went to hell.
>>334356114
As someone who doesn't actually like any of that crap it was literally pretension mixed with "this is the genre, look at it."
>>334356204
But everyone's narrative is different and the interactivity and particularly the ease of putting it down and coming back after nearly all important details are forgotten makes for a more muddled narrative.
>>334356074
>Django Unchained
>Unwatchable
I got hooked the moment I heard the music in the beginning. My favorite Tarantino film.
>>334356459
I hate Jamie Foxx with a passion, and will not watch movies with him in it, but I like DiCaprio.
Gave Foxx a slide, and it did do that Django music like you said, which gave me hope.
I actually liked it.
>>334356291
I haven't read Subnormality in awhile, but I do think it's a great webcomic and one of the best. Winston Rowntree's opinions are sometimes hard to take seriously, but he's a great artist and the work he produces resonates with me emotionally, because I'm there with his protagonists in similar ways.
>>334356359
>But everyone's narrative is different and the interactivity and particularly the ease of putting it down and coming back after nearly all important details are forgotten makes for a more muddled narrative.
True, but that's just the nature of video games.
But beyond that, just look at the ways that games like NMH1, MGS2, and SotC present a somewhat typical video game narrative to you and kinda flip the rug out from underneath you. Movies can't really do that because you don't have the same connection. They're not about you, they're more like you're watching someone else.
Not to mention the length of video games potentially can make you care much more about the characters or the setting because you spend so much time with them. If anything, in rpgs and shit, devs should be taking more advantage of that.
Not even really a storyfag btw, I play games for the gameplay. But there is a lot of potential there that devs miss out on.
>>334355789

How is that bait?
I can't finish a book for the life of me.
Books are too fucking boring.
I rather watch a movie or play a video game.
Shit the closest I'll get is reading a big hard cover of a comic series with all issues combined.
>>334355324
It's because of these pretentious pseudo-intellectual "nerds" that companies are turning video games into visual novels and movies and ruining the gameplay.
Seriously, fuck off back to your books
>>334356825
I don't know why you're jiggling your line like that, you already got a (you) from me.

There is emotion and imagery in text that cannot be conveyed in any other manner. Every mind interprets and visualizes words differently. Reading is as important, as it not only is an exercise in vocublary and comprehension, but of self-actualization.
Crash Bandicoot did it better:

>>334357273
Nice meme but I'm with him. Books are boring and I cannot finish them. I have basically never finished a book outside of when I was obligated to.
>>334357128
The image implies that the video game was the "best" option out of the four because it was the cheapest. By that logic shouldn't collecting rocks from his driveway (or some other free activity) be even more enjoyable because it costs absolutely nothing?
>>334357371
But games aren't cheaper.
Also this doesn't seem to be why you called him biat, or if it was then you have 3+ confused people replying to you.
>>334357274
>>334357273
I hate siting there reading about a character they describe for two pages how they look.
Then they finally talk about them like I know them, and spend literal pages of what they're doing in 5 minutes.
I can handle talking and reading in games, but books with no real imagery except how they spend lines and lines to describe, it's boring.
Give me a game, and show me their expressions on the screen.
Let me talk to them, and hear what they're thinking.
I hate reading a book and hearing what every person is thinking in their head but doesn't talk about it.
Let me in a game talk to them about it, and see if I can get it out of them.
That's more immersive to me than a book.
>>334357351
When were you diagnosed with adhd?
>>334357351
I sincerely wish you reconsider. Reading books allow you to understand the meaning behind many things in life and appreciate them more. It's a fun-enhancer, allowing you to be happy with less.
>>334356187
Specs ops is one of the most over rated games in recent memory. A complete monotonous slug from the gameplay standpoint, with a 2deep4u plot, and suddenly it's the best thing ever. Fucking bullshit.

>But games aren't cheaper.
No. Not according to the image.
>>334356074
>"Win! Uh sort of..." = "$0.003/HR"
The image claims that the superiority of the video game is in direct correlation to the price spent per hour while playing it.
So yeah, plucking your ass hairs one by one is an even better activity because it's free according to the image.
>>334357569
>passions
No, it's a necessity like eating healthy and being fit. Not having at least a base understanding of the Western canon or your country's equivalent is inexcusable. This isn't hobby reading, it's life knowledge.

Nice strawman faggot. It's not about expecting every game to be pure action.
And yeah it's not a game when it's some bullshit attempt to make some moviegamenovel composite freak so people can fell smart and superior when playing them. It actually ends up ruining both gameplay and story, since they are both half asset.
You want moviegamenovels for yourself? Whatever.
I don't want this to become a trend. Companies should keep genres separate unless they can actually make it work, but that's rare.
>>334356074

Subnormality guy is full of shit and himself.
>>334357952
>He must have had fun.
No, I'm sorry, that's not what that image implies. Nowhere is "fun" or "enjoyment" mentioned.
The "value" is directly linked to the price paid per hour while playing it, thus making a free activity even more "valuable".
>>334358154
>It's not a game when I don't like it
Sorry, but all I see is a faggot who wants to take away games people like because they trigger him. AKA an SJW

He had to pay for it.
Just like the movie, tv series, and books.
If the point was FREE > MONEY, then it'd be diff point.
I don't anything free being worth it.
He is pointing money costs, nothing free.
It's not like Stalker made him sit there for 2 hours like Django.
If value is so important, than might as well be a hobo.
That's all I hear, it's all free, but all I see is price divided by time.
>>334358269
Reading makes you happy with less. It allows you to comprehend and understand the world better in both a scientific and romantic mindset.

I think he confused it with Things Fall Apart. Heart of Darkness shows the natives to be easily manipulated children, superstitious and easily persuaded to acts of extreme cruelty.
>>334358485
By that logic:

When I went to NYU before deciding film wasn't for me, I had all of my professors tell us that we should look into courses in regards to videogames because film is a dying medium and it will be much more difficult to find work and success in.
Film is a great medium, but it has many weakness that can be circumvented through animation. When the uncanny valley is passed I expect animation and film to unite alongside videogames.

I strongly disagree. The uncanny valley doesn't define or limit videogames.
I think it's irrelevant to force people into thinking that videogames are "a serious medium", "art" or "at the same level as films". That depends on the perceptions of each person, not on a universal truth.
None is better or worse, just different ways of expression, each with its own limitations and strengths.

Honestly, it was a mess. The director/writer was banking so hard on rule of cool, the story just didn't make any sense. It played like a prequel to a movie that didn't exist, the characters all did incredibly stupid things, the story was disjointed and introduced too many elements making it a clusterfuck of character, events, and things, the director vehemently saying it wasn't a prequel to Alien despite using all kinds of Alien artifacts, THEN him saying, okay, yes it is, and finally, the main character was, for the most part, only there for the ride.

Honestly, Dicaprio should've gotten an award for that performance. He actually cut his hand when he smashed that glass and kept going. That spiel alone was amazing, but his intro lines of "At first you had my curiousity, now you have my attention", that line just told you what kind of character he was.

To be honest, the storytelling potential is far superior: the more senses are stimulated, the harder it hits.
Vidya evolves along human progress and always strives to be better, unlike every other medium which has strict boundaries. It can deliver a message far more efficiently, for being there is a whole other thing than writing about it. Case in point for every real story ever written: would you rather be the reader or the writter?
Now we really need better games, because while the medium has potential, most works are fucking garbage, and too few shine the way a book can.

It was setup as an origin story to Alien but it spun off into its own canon and introduced random shit like zombies and tentacle monsters. It's basically a bad fanfiction with terrible pacing.
>>334372834
It does not matter. The film is set in Belarussia, and takes view from a boy from Belarussia.
>In total, Belarus lost a quarter of its pre-war population in the Second World War, including practically all its intellectual elite. About 9,200 villages and 1,200,000 houses were destroyed. The major towns of Minsk and Vitebsk lost over 80% of their buildings and city infrastructure.
Let me guess, it didn't happen right and is just a lie from muh evil jews?
>>334361003
>Opinions of people that know nothing about the medium are even more irrelevant
Ah, so THAT's why the biggest influence on the comic industry today are their movie adaptations!
>>334362392
The dialogue simply isn't interesting a lot of a time in Bethesda games.
It's simply a vocal maze to gain advantages and quests.
Dialogue could be much better used though. Like, in Fallout 3, there's so much I'd like to know about how people just outside the vault survive. Why aren't people mutated like crazy like happened in Chernobyl? Where is their food coming from? Why have they been living outside for a century surrounded by the bountiful scrapyard of a destroyed civilisation, yet still live in pitiful conditions?
>>334372874
I'm only pointing out that books aren't the magical portals to foreign lands that litfags seem to think they are. They're not superior to any other medium. They're just different.

Is this the "building your persona" guy? Kinda looks like it.
>>334373043
Are you actually retarded? Like diagnosis and all? I never said those things didn't happen. I said the events in the film never happened. Find me a case of such a thing happening. The fact that you have an image like that saved says you are too stupid to entertain both sides of a subject anyway so I know this is a lost cause already
>>334373353
The events in the film never happened? It's a representation of what happened in the war.
>The massacre was not an unusual incident in Belarus during World War II. At least 5,295 Belarusian settlements were burned and destroyed by the Nazis, and often all their inhabitants were killed (some amounting up to 1,500 victims) as a punishment for collaboration with partisans. In the Vitebsk region, 243 villages were burned down twice, 83 villages three times, and 22 villages were burned down four or more times. In the Minsk region, 92 villages were burned down twice, 40 villages three times, nine villages four times, and six villages five or more times. Altogether, over 2,000,000 people were killed in Belarus during the three years of Nazi occupation, almost a quarter of the region's population.
>>334357427
Your problem is that you have no imagination, which is something that can be caused by playing video games and watching movies instead of reading a book every now and then. I'm truly sorry for you.

Books have influenced nations, challenged the way we think, I mean, give me one video game that has caused a revolution.

Plato and the old Greeks' writings are foundation for Western civilization. Works by Shakespeare, Dante, Milton and the religious books like Quran and Bible shaped the world.

That's because they've been around for thousands and thousands of years and back in a time where a majority believed dragons and witches existed. People were more easily influenced by fiction, because on the whole, they were a lot more naive about their own existence.
Shakespeare is overrated, too. His plays might have been controversial and racy back then, but now they're just boring as sin. Times change.
>>334374795
>Shakespeare is overrated, too.
/v/ never ceases to amaze me. Literally every writer in history is inspired by Shakespeare.
>>334374795
Didn't realize the communist manifesto was thousands of years old.
>>334374885
And they improved upon him. Shakespeare is boring. A man with a horse's head might've had people in fits of laughter back then, but not today.

Why would you say something that stupid?
>>334375076

I might just be fucking retarded, but I honestly can't make heads or tails out of that clusterfuck.
>>334375048
It's also not fiction, which is what this thread is about. Would you honestly say the communist manifesto is art?
>>334375308
Yeah me neither, is it supposed to be like his fucking opinions on the games or something?
>>334375285
Nowadays books won't start revolutions either, that's the point he was making.
>>334355324
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no
>>334374795
Anon, please.
>>334375285
For fuck's sake. Books have been around in some form for thousands, possibly tens of thousands of years. Do you really think that's comparable to the 40-is years that games have been around for? And again, people are much more down to earth nowadays than they were then, and thus are much less influenced by fiction.
>>334375391
No fucking shit. Art has lost its meaning for every medium.

Maybe, I still think its funny to hear people talk about how the "kids today are great with technology" when software is more limited and idiot proof than ever. This isnt the 90's when kids were troubleshooting their pc's all by themselves.

I love how smart he must've felt as he thought of this concept, then tried to "draw" it.
He must've felt so good about himself.
Only for literally no one to understand what the fucking delusional, illogical, pseudo-intellectual thing is supposed to mean, or ever how it's supposed to be read.
