Do you think video games will ever have something as (publicly) credible as the Oscars, or has it been tainted from the start, forcing it to be a juvenile interest despite the huge money involved?

The mainstream doesn't take vidya seriously.

It's still just a "nerd" hobby filled with womyn hating basement dwelling nerds, who actually eat mountain dew and drink doritos.

I know because in the commercials on TV that's what they do. Right before American Idol, I saw them doing that while playing xbox and its hilarious at how true to life it is.

Implying something like the VGA's are better. Video games still have a very long way to go to be seen as 'art' or credible in the mainstreams eye. Why are so many video games written so utterly lazy?
>>
>>333032491
Award shows are one of the most over rated waste of time in the history of mankind. Video games would be better off without it's own version of the Oscars because it would show that as an entertainment medium they have evolved beyond the shit show that is Hollywood.

That's because TV and video games are targeting two separate audiences. Most people who give a shit about video game awards and news don't give a shit about watching normal TV when you can get the same information at your own leisure online. At the same time people who still watch Network and or Cable TV every night generally tend to be in an older demographic and don't give a shit about gaming news or awards even if they play video games.

Hell the whole Esports thing on ESPN is a desperate attempt from a cable network to try and keep themselves relevant to a younger generation that honestly couldn't give half a shit if TV lives or dies and believe me it is going to die eventually.

>Exactly as mature as videogames senpai
No, I'd argue that comic books are generally genuinely more mature, since they actually tackle mature subjects that video games almost never do, like sexuality, aging, politics, depression and mental illnesses, family, and so on.

Even in a lot of capeshit, you see this issues touched upon, whereas most games are just designed to be mindless fun. And then once you leave capeshit, you can find comic books like Maus, Persepolis, and so on.

Honestly, video games might never become mature because of their audiences. And I'm not even talking about mainstream casuals. Just think of /v/irgins. Shit like trolling and griefing is so in-grained in video game culture that I honestly feel like video games will always be immature.
>>
>>333046336
All AAA videogames already have a narrative or themes akin to movies.

>>333051281
Well everytime a videogame is trying to speak about mature subjects, virtual adrenaline junkies come and yell about how it's "pretentious" or "not vidya".
Now if you're talking about /v/irgins, we'll have to talk about comic book fans, who were for decades (and still are) considered as gross retards. Just like with comics, the only ones who'll be able to find true gems among vidya will be those undying fans, and the public will only start in something like a century (it took that time for movies) to appreciate more than 1 or 2 famous pieces of it.

To be wildly recognized, vidya needs their Maus, a sensible piece speaking about some real genocide made by a survivor of it. Without it, comics would still be a cesspool of capeshit.

Oscars and VGAs are awards pointed at main audiences, normies without any gud taste. They are usually awarded to films that are either well accepted by masses or must be accepted (to make it popular, give it attention). We don't need to listen to them in any way, be original. Have your own taste. I lost all faith in Oscars after 'Tree of Life' didn't get any tribute. And videogames aren't good in majority anymore.

Hmm, I haven't played games like Gone Home or Everyone's Gone to the Rapture yet, but that's a good point. I always liken it to people who say that rap isn't music. People are so hostile to new ideas.

Frankly though I'm more partial to action games myself, I'm not opposed to more story-based games at all.

>Now if you're talking about /v/irgins, we'll have to talk about comic book fans, who were for decades (and still are) considered as gross retards.

That's a good point, but comic book fans have been moving away from the stereotype for awhile now. Videogamers still have a long way to go.

>To be wildly recognized, vidya needs their Maus, a sensible piece speaking about some real genocide made by a survivor of it. Without it, comics would still be a cesspool of capeshit.
Well, I was thinking more of a serious video game that tackled sensitive subjects expertly. Something more like Watchmen or Neon Genesis Evangelion than Maus, although a vidya Maus could be something as well.

The way I see it, video games, the video game industry, and the people who play them just have to grow. We're still in an immature phase, akin to middle school or something. Comic books are in the college phase, I feel like. Movies, television, etc. are full-grown adults.

>>333051947
the public dont appreciate oscar movies either. Oscar is a combination of movie's popularity and the professionalism of centuries of jewish entertainment and pr. VGA could have been good if they let real showrunners make it and devs arent such social outcast despite how sjw many of them are. Vidya make tons of money, and they can spend on vanity and still shit out 2 cod games of similar budget per year.
>>
>>333032491
>Oscars

>(publicly) credible
Oscars sell movies, nobody cares about the actual award, maybe the newfag actors and people in the business but even they know it's mainly business. And then normies only care because they can circlejerk about how epic it was that Leonardo da Vinci won one and that they went to a theater to watch the Oscars on a big screen because it's like such an important like event and stuff. It's trash, and I hope video games never get that far, I'd much rather have video games "regress" into weird outcast category instead of normiefication.
