Games don't need stories.

Songs don't need lyrics.

But I bet you think it's one of the greatest ways to tell a story.


Cinema itself doesn't have to have a story, a plot... It is 24 images per second. Not else.

But I bet you think it's one of the greatest ways to tell a story.



Do we think as gamers that videogames are art? If the answer is NO, then (we as) the community have failed.

 

 

 

 

edit:

From other point of view:

You can write a book. A book is not more than a couple of glued pages. But I bet you love the way it's used to tell stories. You can also avoid pictures in the book, but they can become part of the story and be art too.

 

Videogames, books, cinema, music, picture... all of them are channels. You can fill them in many ways, and one that makes us human is art. To be able to produce strong (and sometimes unusual) feelings in others. That's a gift we must not let to pass us by.
