Question: Who here thinks video games are an art form, and can stand alongside books and movies in terms of depth of message and meaning?
Show of hands, NOW!

art form is a pointless term. anything can be art nowadays, but not everything is art. there's no 'group' of things that's automatically made art because its in the group.
>>341809408
GONE HOME IS OBJECTIVELY ART.
>>341809408
>Movies.
Kek.
>>341809408
>Art is something that each person experiences differently.
>Design is something that each person experiences similarly
Objectivly then, most games, movies, books, and painting arn't actuall art, but rather design- as the person making it was trying to make you feel something in-particular when engaging with their work.
Video games are toys which may or may not include art in them if they so desire but it is not the primary focus of them
That art may or may not stand alongside other mediums depending on how you define art
>>341809408
Well it depends on the developers' outlook. If they think it's art and imply it to be, then yes, it is. There's no denying that art is one of the most important parts of a game. Without stuff on screen (art) you have no game, and what's moving around on screen IS the game... so aren't they art by default?
And many games can absolutely stand alongside books and movies. I doesn't even need to have a lot of depth/story/message etc to stand alongside the greats.

Well you're wrong! Video games are designed entirely around shallow escapism, intended only to give pathetic shut-ins an undeserved sense of accomplishment! Like this faggot

Tell me, what video games do you play to feel better about yourself?

Of course, anon! Games have opened up a great deal of aesthetic appreciation through the nuance of gameplay mecha-

LET'S GO!

The series is on Hulu, but sadly you have to deal with ads and shit like that. There's also a torrent around, but the quality isn't that great.
>>341811371
There's aDailyMotionaccount that has a bunch of episodes, and I think there's also a stream
>>341811371
>tfw you bought all the DVDs when they came out and can enjoy all the clever word play and puns whenever you want.

What is your favorite MXC/Takeshi's Castle Challenge, /v/?
>>341809408
General Lee, and his 100 happy clappy jappy chappies!

Have you played a video game that evoked an emotion, or inspired a thought?
Then it was art.
Simple as that.
>>341814131
homo say what?
why do good threads never live
>>341813121
Are you serious? I'm borrowing an ad free hulu account, never bothered looking it up
>>341809408
Personally? Yeah, I thinks so.
I dont see how its all that different from to the forms of artistic expression, and it feels a little silly to resist a new medium.
LEts be honest here. Which is the best game?
I say Dash to Death
Hello, everyone and welcome to MX/v/, the imageboard where everyone hates videogames!
Hahah, yeah!
What are you doing, Ken?
I'm playing the new RE demo. I'm trying to figure what this dumb finger is for. I'm starting to think this thing's a scam to get us to talk about their game for free publicity.
Right you are, Ken! Capcom is notorious for relying on their fanbases to sell their games for them. Remember the Legends 3 debacle?
The what now?
Legends 3.
Doesn't ring a bell.
right you are Kenny
I realized that I don't own Seasons 4 and 5
Search it up
Above $70
Shit, I should have gotten it when I saw it for $20

This.
Just because it made you feel something doesn't mean it's art.
>>341811371
Youtube. Decent quality too
>>341809408
It is.
>>341812515
This.
Actually, this apply to every form of art, each art/discipline have his own tools, his own language.
To create a good work of art, you need to use the specific tool corresponding to your art, this is called medium specificity.
You don't make a good movie just by writing a good story. You don't make a good video game by making it just an interactive movie (go fuck yourself David Cage).

A fresh shit taped to a wall can be art, so yes
