Jeff writes: "This industry is struggling to find its artistic value to the world. If its even art at all — a transformative subversion of what entails the highly subjective term — or a nuanced form of technology that could not resist branching out and invading other forms of media. People are, maybe too passionately, on both sides of the discourse. Roger Ebert famously denounced games as not qualifying under the banner, while a good chunk of fans and game designers take umbrage with the recently passed movie critic’s dismissive words."
Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.
Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.
The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.
For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
The past few years have seen some excellent open-world titles on top of the existing classics. Here are some of the very best that you should play.
watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.
Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?
Art is when you put some paint on the end of a toothbrush and flick it on to a bit paper, art.
Art shouldn't be defined by any one person. The fact that so many people took Ebert's opinion so seriously (regardless of whether or not they agree or disagree with him) shows the misdirection that the community had in the argument. Ebert wasn't the judge here, since he admitted himself that he hadn't played video games that much anyway. I don't know about you, but if you haven't played video games, then you shouldn't be making such big judgments on them.
Besides, just because a mainstream audience doesn't acknowledge the artistic value of video games, that doesn't mean that they aren't in fact art. If mainstream opinion were always right, then politics, the economy, and pretty much anything else would be criticized much, MUCH less.
nothing more than a miserable little pile of whatever you want
It is art, because almost everything is... videogames just aren't very good right now, (compared to film or fine art,) but they will get there in a few years.
