I appreciate art in games, but gameplay should not suffer at the expense of art. Legend of Mana, which I'm currently playing, is one such game. The game is gorgeous, but unfortunately it isn't that great

Yeah, that game has such a gorgeous presentation that I really wish the graphics, characters and music could be salvaged and made into a game thats actually worth playing.Originally Posted by vegeta1215
The concept of art as a form of expression is relatively new, which is why I don't go by it. A lot of what people consider to be the best art was art in the Renissance which was commission by rich people or religious organizations. A certain degree of expression was used, but the artist often had to paint or edit things exactly to the patron's favor.
That means "art" simply refers to any skillful work, doesn't it? So yes, video games are art, provided the people who worked on them produced something good. As long as the game's good then it's art.

"Toleration is not the opposite of intolerance, but is the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms. The one assumes to itself the right of withholding liberty of conscience, and the other of granting it."~ Thomas Paine

In my vision... video games are art ... and i am an artist! (game design
)
Re: are videogames art?
Ugh, GOD I want to hit you!!!In my vision
If that's true, then I'm more of an artist then you, because I designed, planned and created my own game. Nya! But then you don't see me bragging about it, do you? Just imploring people to Beta Test the thing...In my vision

Hey, I do online reviews now! Check out my site to see the latest videos.
Yo, I actually programmed an entire game from scratch last year (Secondary 5, or grade 11, i think) using only Visual Basics.
it was an FPS sequel to Earthbound (SNES). I had shops, I had original Earthbound monsters, and I had a game of mastermind.
Once I finished, I had much more respect for all programmers out there, because the ever-present glitches seriously pissed me off.
Do you enjoy challenging RPGs? Do you enjoy dark storylines? You'll like my game. Go on, it's not very long.
You can download my game for free right here!
Feedback on it would be nice. It'll help with future projects.
