How're you doing, Sup Forums?

I'm just passing by to remind you that video games will never be perceived as an art medium and there's nothing you can do about it.

So fucking what? I play videogames for fucking fun, not to disguise myself as some intellectual for enjoying works made by someone else.

Ok good.

That is great, please tell American game devs like Naughty Dog to remember that.

"Art" is not equivalent to "quality", so why would I care?

Some video games are truly jaw-dropping.

oh shit everybody, we got an intellectual over here. Everyone shuts the fuck up, let the intellectual tell you what is UP in this motherfucking world

I don't care what is and isn't considered art, and neither should anybody else, you dead faggot.

Bold words cosidering that Ebert's counterpart during the fledgeling years of the film industry said the same about movies back in the days, and yet here we are today where movies are considered an art medium by the general populace.

This. Art requires authorship. Video games allow players to determine what is experienced, and how, which means that developers are surrendering their authorship. The plot line, art, voice acting, music, graphics, and even the code of a game can be art, but not the game itself. You could say that Speedrunning is technically art, but not very good art.

Good.
Art is horrible nowadays.

Games are already appreciated by most of society, we're just waiting for the boomers and half of Gen X to die off.

>get head cancer and half your face gets removed

RIP in piss

Good, because "art criticism" is literally marxist message control

Roger Ebert wasn't even that pretentious though, he appretiated a film's ability to be enjoyed by large audiences.

He was just wrong about vidya, but he himself said he didn't really care about them and was confused why people kept bugging him with the topic.

That's a good thing, because with faggots wanting games to be art comes demands of what you shouldn't have in games and they're always things guys like.
Basically trying to get games to be considered "art" and respected by the mainstream is always an angle of attack directed at content in games.
Fuck guys that want games to prove they are art, they either are now regardless of how much approval they have or they will never be.
Either one for me is fine, but trying to prove anything is a fool's/manipulator's task.

>I'm just passing by to remind you that video games will never be perceived as an art medium and there's nothing you can do about it.
>passing by

More like passing away.

Get back in your fucking grave.
Reminder that Ebert recanted his position before he died because somebody showed him Shadow of the Colossus. He literally didn't know video games had progressed beyond Pac-Man level shit

yeah you're right, I actually dug his writing and have found some gems in his list of great movies, just felt like being an asshole I guess.

it's okay. I hope you're doing fine

>He literally didn't know video games had progressed beyond Pac-Man level shit
Wasn't there a big deal where some dude gave him Braid to convince him vidya is art and yet Ebert didn't move from his position?
Man, remember when fucking Braid was the poster child for artsy indie games?

hey you are dead hahahaha and videogames arent

Liar, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the one who said that.

Don't you have anything better do to in the afterlife, Roger?

What even is the definition of art anyway.

this niggers more bloated than a balloon lmao

Of course they aren't. Blame the people who want games to be art.
SJWs always crying about how games need to be taken more seriously. They cry while persecuting artists and developers for no other reason but because they are doing things the sjws dislike.

So they pressure creators, they behave like dictators, shaming you if you show and independent thought that doesn't follow what they treat as "acceptable"

Games will never be art as long as political correctness and sjws dictate what games should be like, taking that power away from the actual artists/creators.

Games can't be art if the artists don't have the freedom to do what they want.

>video games will never be perceived as an art medium
I fucking wish. But that hasn't stopped the cessial torrent of shit """""art""""" games from coming out.

>tfw think i'm some lonely sad person who has this crazy ideas about videogames becoming less and less interesting and immersive the more realistic they try to look
>realize i wasn't that wrong at all
Feels good, just wish i would have done something with this knowledge other than waste time on Sup Forums.

In my opinion, you're wrong. But that's just my opinion so I respect yours as this is clearly a subjective matter and there's no objective answer to it.

Small reminder that every game is art, no matter the quality.

Why would vidya need to be art?

Being a film "critic" isn't a real profession

It is not just SJWs, mostly people who think like that are insecure about their hobbies and want normalfags to accept them.

How is he saying all of this without opening his mouth?

I wish

>He literally didn't know video games had progressed beyond Pac-Man level shit
Not true. He stated he played through and rather liked Cosmology of Kyoto.

Complex internal bidirectional quantum intertevlon orbifold resonance generators

I don't understand that gatekeeping mentality of some people.

If books and movies can be art, if some fucking rock on a pedestal or a blank canvas can be art then video games are art as well.

Everything can be art.
There are no prerequisites.

This. A lot of things considered art today were not for decades after they were made, like photography, most genres of music.

there's a vidya bafta tho

It's a shame nobody else got this.

8 years ago I would have disagreed with you.
Now i hope they don't.

Video game art comes in the form of the mechanics, not visuals.
Artfags blown the fuck out.

I'm glad, might stop some of the pretentious first year college hipsters from trying to change games into walking simulators with stories trying to explain the struggles of black bisexual transgendered *insert more currenly relative buzzwords here* people in our evil modern society.

Just some though.

Games don't need to be art, they just need stop being so video gamey all the time.

Ain't you dead, nigga?

>videogames should be less videogamey

Kys yourself

He was right though, video games were never art in his lifetime. Guy's dead now.

Good. Movies became recognized as an art medium and look at what happened to them.

They are both ventriloquist, ventriloquist, ventriloquist
They are both ventriloquist and practice everyday

Thank fuck, 'vidya as art' just leads to shitty pretentious walking simulators with no gameplay and incomprehensible story bullshit because the writer desperately wanted to write a movie but doesn't even have the lack of talent to do that.

What is nier automata?
japanese games is where its at

Ironically, film is low-tier art that's more of a product than anything.

Roger Ebert is a fucking idiot!

>Games are ART under US law.
deal with it. But they're between films and maccaroni drawings in quality.

miss him

I love these threads. Every post is someone's opinion of what art means, forgetting that your personal idea of what it is has no bearing on reality.

Games are art. They're mostly shit art. A child's doodle in crayon is art. Stop confusing art with quality, fucking 17 year olds.

Reminder that games like Automata could ONLY works as a game, and nothing else.

>video games will never be perceived as an art medium

not as long as journalists demand every game should be completable by anyone who plays them

>I'm just passing by to remind you that video games will never be perceived as an art medium and there's nothing you can do about it.
and I have absolutely no problem with that because I play video games for my own fun not to get some praise from some hipster faggots that only talk about 3deep5me bullshit in order to boost their egocentric worldviews

You're confusing art with high art retard.

Feces on canvas is art.
