Unlike Games in which people argued whether or not Skyrim is fascist.

Face it grandpa games are the voice of our generation and it's offensive that they aren't in the fine arts section.

Most of those old farts will never experience the magnificence of Bioshock Infinite, The Last of US or any of the David Cage games because they're stuck in their old ways.

all those titles you listed are just movies pretending to be interactive art. the true art games are the ones with great controls and graphics, such as bayonetta and devil may cry.

No, you're wrong and dumb.

The true games are the ones who manage to transcend limitations such as gameplay in order to tell a mature, emotional story that I can relate to.

Euro games are high art. Japanese games are wood art. Western games are dark art.

Ebert was right and games will never be art so stop trying to make games art and just make good games.

the phrase 'art' means literally nothing

we could probably posit that niggerstomper post as art if we weaved enough fancy bullshit words about it

bad games did not exist until someone decided games should be art. before then, all games were perfect. all games were good. the artification of games is equivalent to adam and eve biting the fruit of knowledge
