http://www.wordreference.com/definition/art Art:: "the expression or application of creative skill and imagination, especially through a visual medium". So, how that's implying a story? or the ability to modify it? Do you listen to music because of story? So an instrumental it's not art? About the other 2 things up there: -Why? Because you decided it? because I don't give a s*it about the ability to interact with the story line. I mean if I can play a game like that ok it's intersting but it doesn't mean it's a feature to apply to every game. Does a racing game need a story? -Yes me and my friends having good time playing togheter is a lot more meaningful for humanity than watching a game alone like Heavy Rain and say: "Oh shit it's like the Ninth Symphony!", sorry. (btw. the Ninth Symphony/ Mona Lisa? LOL) |
A "medium". A medium like the fine arts, literary arts, conceptual arts, etc. Remit yourself to my previous post today to see my what I am talking about.
I brought the example of the game Flower in a previous post, that game doesn't have storyline. I said "and" storyline with the intention of include a work of fiction in its equation, not to say that it requires it in order to be an art form.
This is not a discussion of how a game should be or not. You are confusing things here. I have as much fun playing Bioshock as I do playing Tetris, but I don't get that experience of going through a work of fiction in Tetris as I do in Bioshock, or the subtle emotions of playing Flower and there lies the "difference". Nintendo games are simply fun and that appeals to your demographic it seems and that is completely fine, I like such games as well. But I value and respect more things that evoke in me ideas and emotions instead of just having fun while jumping over a turtle and listening to the "plux" and saying: "Oh my fucking God that is so fun!".
Heavy Rain is gameplay through and through, I don't know what you played if you actually did play it. What about Beethoven and L. da Vinchi? You don't like my examples for the art-impaired? You recognized them, that was the purpose.
Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:
