the problem with voting on which videogames are the best example of "art" is that the people voting don't care about art, they care about vocalizing support for their favorite games

So, it's just like every other artistic medium?

listening to what you guys are saying this is for sure a "hey guys look at all these videos games we love!" and not an art thing
i mean goldeneye seriously
If this were a book display would you choose books that you personally enjoyed or were touched by or some other book that by some archaic measurement was more "art"?
I would choose books that used the constraints of the medium to engage and impact the reader in a unique and inventive way
If you are seriously going to argue that goldeneye has artistic merit outside of 'it is fun to shoot dudes' then I just don't even know

Now think about how a video game has made you blasé about executing people with guns.

That says much more about our culture of entertainment than one particular video juego

The distinguishing component of games are their interactivity. There's an art to how to that mechanic, and while Golden Eye might be a really primitive example of FPS deathmatch, the number of people engaged by the mechanic is pretty large. That's fundamentally important to how games develop as art.

Probably.
But as an artist I refuse to ever click the edit button.

Immersion, Exploration, Interactivity, and all the things to do with the twist
Examining the things unique to video games is what makes it great
There are also the games that use the unique visual qualities super well
I have to choose between Chrono Trigger, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Earthbound?
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE
Also I have no idea what Nintendo's fucking deal is with that franchise.

Everyone must vote for it or else bad things might come your way.
All this made me realize is how much I miss the SNES era.
couldn't in all good conscience vote for FFVII in an art contest.
Bother me on steam: kabbypan
that game is balls to the walls hard.
well it was for 5 year old me anyway.
super mario 3
metroid
well shit
wonderful
like
a good way to determine whether art is good or not
because it's inherently completely subjective
is whether you like it or not
So, it's just like every other artistic medium?
nah no one gives a shit about plays
