Is this true?

>this is what video games have to offer
>this is what gamers consider 'great artistic achievements'

> fallout
> art

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no

Not him but: Thief and Dark Souls could be there (I'd do with Demon's better than Dark) remove the others, add Silent Hill 2, Pathologic and Shadow Of The Colossus.

>videogames

Blood, Quake 3, Tekken 3, Soul Calibur 2.

>video games
>art

don't fall for the memes OP. All of those (with the exception of video games, because video games) are good stuff but not necessarily the greatest. Art is subjective so any objective list is kind of pointless.

video games do not belong, sorry autists

1984 is a shitty, YA tier book.

>games
>not shadow of the colossus

ПPAAAAтиTУти

Dwarf Fortress, Morrowwind, Pathologic, Papers, Please

The problem with video games is that they are, in many cases, games and not art. Like for example, none of these things are art.

>no Bach

this

HOLY SHIT WHY'S THIS SO FUNNY

Art is good, lit is pretty good, film is really bad, music is babys first important music, vidya is a mixed bag

> mozart
> not Wagner, Bach, Tchaikovski or Beethoven
???

>games

lol

>no french new wave in cinema
>all videogames are shitty
>1984 or Ulysses over something like ''à la recherche du temps perdu''

This is one of the shittiest chart I've seen in my life.

I thought you dead, Roger Ebert.

>greatest artistic achievements chart
>doesnt include greatest artistic achievements

??????????

>greatest artistic achievements
>works that can only be enjoyed and appreciated by a small circle of people

You and I clearly define what is good art differently.

replace Bros K with Anna Karenina and 1984 with literally anything else

someone explain to me why 1984 is so highly regarded

>le old movies are obscure meme

Your tastes are shit

It's on the book itself

>The best books, he perceived, are those that tell you what you know already.

Self validation.

>1984
>great achievement

If you consider plagarizing a 20 year old book that was much better and less obnoxious with its philosophy i guess

>Anime

What are you refering to? Some obscure dystopian text titled 1982?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_(novel)

No, get fallout thief and deus ex out.

Dunno about music, film and art, but replace 1984 and moby dick with Gravity's Rainbow and Lolita and also replace Dark Sould with Life Is Strange.

I'm so sorry.

why do these really dumb threads get posts in them

>Life Is Strange
Jesus reddit-posting Christ

honestly Pathologic is too flawed; some of its flaws somehow result in virtues (like how fucking dreadful and obtuse everything is) but others are unforgivable

>get thief out

your opinion is shit

>1984

Lel, who made that? An American?

I do not think they have lost anything for age, but rather that they have failed to persevere in our cultural memory against the test of time.

Film is an inherently flawed art form: It commands the full attention of two senses over an extended period of time. To experience the full effect of the work, you cannot put a film down and come back to it, like you can with a book. Unlike music, film cannot be enjoyed in the background of another entertaining activity. You need to condition yourself to enjoy all but the most flashy and juvenile cinema.

>Dark Souls

this series of fucking games has to be the biggest meme of the century

>Dwarf Fortress
my sub-saharan sidekick.

Dwarf Fortress is the only game that truly achieved the depth of another art form. It's truly dazzling in scope.

Of course not.
It's not a bad selection though.

no, you are

So? It being or not a "meme" doesn't have anything to do with its inherent values neither in the negative nor in the positive sense.

The video game selection isn't the very best, but at least it doesn't include smarmy, conceited indie garbage.

I'm sad that Ebert died believing that Braid was the best example of art in video games.

I mean I love 21st Century Schizoid Man, The VU & Nico, and the Beach Boys, but none of the artists there are the greatest in music. The stand out as achievements within their own decade, but that's I really. Meme list, totally false.

>acts like not recognizing b8
>suggests replacing Karamazov

Yeah. This list would work better as "greatest achievements in late 20th - early 21st century art forms.'

>no league of legends or world of warcraft

>Anna Karenina
>the soap opera of Russian lit

go 'way

it does mean it's totally overrated

I wouldn't consider these the greatest artistic achievements in video games, though they are certainly great achievements in video games.

I think Space Station 13 is the only vidya that could qualify as art

Roguelikes are the only genre that I think people who appreciate other art forms would be comfortable in calling art, they're just too deep and have too much going on to be digested in one sitting, which a good work of art should ideally attempt to do.

And, again, saying it's "overrated" has nothing to do with it's inherent values. You're putting its reception by public as the most important aspect of a work when it's the least important aspect. The author, the makers, have no power in determining how their work will be received. They don't know if they're gonna be ridiculously popular or doomed to ostracism. But this has nothing to do with the content of the work. Only the content of the work has to do with the quality of the work. Is "Dark Souls" perfect? Of course not. Has been overblown by the public and the marketing? Of course. It's still an atmospheric work who manages to convey most of its narrative using the exclusive and unique ways of its medium and it does present an aesthetically stunning world full of interesting characters and concepts, using little to none blunt exposition. It's a great work, even if not a perfect one, and, most important, it's a work that could be only a videogame.

league of legends is not an achievement. It's a fucking dumbed-down version of a warcraft 3 mod

My nigga

See

Ebert died thinking video games weren't art. He only made the public concession so fat NEET man children would stop harassing him.

None of them are horribly bad. Some of them are good, some even great.

It turned AoS/DoTA into a watchable eSport, that's its only achievement.

>And, again, saying it's "overrated" has nothing to do with it's inherent values.

I never said it did? I said it was a fucking meme. Which it is. Good job making a reply to things I didn't say.

this is a good shortcut guide for pseuds

A girl I went to highschool was upset with Eberts assesment and countered with an argument that analogized Fred Ott's Sneeze to the state of video games now and she went on to suggest that video games only need better story telling, graphics and sound design to fully realize their potential as art.

Of course alot of gamers agree with that sentiment either overtly or tacitly and that's why video games are a shit medium.

He might have changed his mind, had he seen video games of any merit and if not for the reddit neckbeards.

Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 & Vanquish, maybe Shadow of the Colossus on a generous day.

You can sensibly call it shitty or YA, but not both.

I agree with these two
Ideally any "artistic" video game should incorporate the thing that makes video games different from film or something, namely, their ability to be interacted with and to give the player the control of the game. In a regular video game, controls are purposefully streamlined to make use easy and readily accessible to the public. However, Dorf and SS13 eschew this in favor of adding a unique and complex way of interfacing that requires thought and learning to truly be able to competently interact with the game itself. Parallels can be drawn to works like Trout Mask Replica or Finnegan's Wake (though I'm not saying they're of the same artistic merit; they're definitely not) in that they subvert the conventions of ingesting the art form in which they operate. Theyre deep enough mechanically and narratively that they require multiple sessions of play to even grasp what it is about, not to mention the untold sessions of play required to truly perfect and unlock the true potential of the works themselves. I'm not saying they compare to truly great works of art, and I'm not saying that they are on the same level as the sacred cows of Literature and Music and Art, but the depth of the games themselves reveal the creator's artistic passion for the medium in which they operate
Or not I don't fucking know

you're right, you don't

>story telling, graphics and sound design

this is totally contrary to what videogames should be about

they should be about primarily what makes them unique as a media, the gameplay

something like super mario 64 (or something else that has inarguable top quality gameplay) is closer to art than some unbearable story focused indie trash

only music ones that make sense to me are Mozart and VU + Nico. Mozart for arguably being zenith of type of tonal composition in classical and baroque western art music, before romantic composers jumped in and started doing stuff that was probably too different to be compared fairly. VU + Nico works b/c its arguably the most influential pop album of the 20th century.

Hes pretty good, i wouldnt say i dont like him but he is certainly not as good as his american counterparts in Coppola or Kubrick.

Good post

This isn't about whether a game is great. It's about whether a game is an artistic achievement.

The others are also pretty bad but I'm laughing my ass of at the "Art" section

I have my doubts about that. I've played a whole lot of DCSS and I would never consider calling it a work of art. The fact that it is one of the best-designed roguelikes out there does not bode well.

I agree with this. Gameplay should be emphasized because gameplay is what makes videogames a distinct medium.
If I were creating a videogame "art" museum and I had to choose whether to include Devil May Cry 3 or Gone Home I would choose Devil May Cry 3.

not even remotely.
it's a truckload of bullshit and memes, except for what concerns art. that's all.
