"Proclaiming video games as art will undoubtedly illicit anger from traditionalist. Many do not see such ‘kiddy’ entertainment as valuable enough to be ever considered art. Fortunately, I’m not one of those people. " | Explosion.com
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
There's a difference between art and craft. The creation of games is largely craft, and some of those crafted elements produce art, some don't. There are elements of it that can be considered art. The music, the visual design, the story and it's themes and messages, and all those things amalgamated.
As for the interactive side of videogames - the defining aspect of them - I'm not sure you can call that art. I suppose it depends how it links with or is informed by or informs the aforementioned artistic elements of the game, but in a lot of cases, videogames are more like sport: You develop the skills required and you play to win.
A person playing a game and controlling their character on the screen... that isn't really art, but it can be depending on how it interacts with the other artistic elements. Art can unfold as the player plays.
On the other hand, the creation of a game, the programming, that's not art. That's pure logic and mathematics. That's craft that isn't art in and of itself.
So basically there are elements of games that are artistic and elements that aren't. Which makes saying "videogames are art" kind of problematic.
I'm gonna be honest I've sort of confused myself but I think most of those points hold...
great controls story music are what really get immerse in a game more then anything else
Music more so than story elevates games into art. Music can also elevate the enjoyment of an average game. Take Sonic 3D Blast for the PC. That game is average through and through, but the tunes for that game resonate so well with the levels that it makes the player want to continue to play.
