Tigon – Some in Hollywood see games as “meaningless bullshit”

Is that Tingle again?

Now you’re going to get a visit Blerk.

I hope you like sweaty muscled manlove.

To be fair I’d probably class most games as “meaningless bullshit”. It’s the same for every medium.

That’s because most of them *are* meaningless bullshit.

Even Hollywood can create an intelligent, thoughtful film when it bothers. The same can not be said for video games, for the most part. I could count the number of genuinely artistic games on one hand.

Since when does a game need to be “artistic” to be good?

funny part is van is pc gamer lol

let’s be honest here: about 75% of all games published IS ‘meaningless bullshit’.

Most games based on Hollywood movies certainly are meaningless bullshit.

“I think a lot of it has changed because we’re making so much more money than they are.”

I agree and that make me sick, they smell money now…please dont mess with video game like Hollywood for the movies…

you know whos’s the top of the money pile pc gaming

why can’t the same be said for videogames as well? You’re basically saying the 90% of hollywood movies is shit, which is true, then you say videogames are bullshit “For the most part”. Doesn’t that imply that, say, 10% of videogames are good? Isn’t the same as movies?

and well artistic videogames mean ass if they aren’t fun Mike.

I don’t agree at all.

If games are going to be taken seriously as a medium, developers need to have the leeway to occasionally ignore ‘fun’ to communicate something else. Perhaps is they can do both, I don’t know, but fun in itself is an emotional feeling. And something that isn’t always suited.

People don’t give developers that leeway without a strong institutional background.

I believe many people who ‘want’ games as art, don’t really understand what they’re asking for. I think they want justification for playing games.
