NiGHTS is one of the games that shows that games can be art and not just a toy

why are people still so fucking hung up about games just being art period? you guys are insane. video games, ALL video games, are art. ALL of them. mobile games that are like CLICK THE THING AND GET THE MONEY and you have to pay for credits with IRL money are art. EVERY VIDEO GAME IS A PIECE OF ART. Why is English so confusing for you. READ THE DEFINITION OF ART.

Yes, but those are the ones who think of mechanics first and then add all the artsy shit later. Nights is one of those games.

But if it's like all the game has to offer is walking and pretty set pieces and maybe the hint of some sort of deep idea, then no it's usually not fun and not worth playing.

It sounds like you're describing something like LSD Dream Emulator, which isn't really trying to be a game anyway. I'm not sure something like that is specifically trying to be art either, though. I just think it's less complicated to allow games to be referred to as art. People even still have the same debate about whether music should be considered art, or "just music".

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 28 02:23:11 2021 No.8460593 >>8460574 There'd be so much porn of this character if NiGHTS was a more contemporary series. But most of it would take some weird liberties with her design and shape.

Games can be art, they just shouldn't strive to be art first, and should be entertainment first. A game can be beautiful artistic and thought provoking, but those aren't requirements. I do believe being fun is a requirement though. And if the priority is not on fun but on being an art piece, then it's failed to be a game in my opinion.

For the record I wasn't specifically thinking of LSD, but that's a good example, I was more thinking of the thousands of indie games trying to be art, and shit like Journey, or whatever that Norman Reedus game was, the name escapes me.

Oh yeah, I haven't played them myself, but there seems to be plenty of examples of 'artistic' indie games that are just not very good. I mean, saying that something is art is not necessarily saying that it's good, IMO. I personally wouldn't call a picture of a soup can good art, but plenty of other people do.

The entire Nights franchise could be a source of fuel for porn fetishists. You have gay ass harlequinns and inflated bunny.
Can't say for sure what kind of fetish Wizeman could relate to but it's probably something about multiple hands stroking your dick or whatever.

This bums me out. I'm not really invested in NiGHTS but I do like a good 3D platformer, and the last thing we needed was another one from a high profile developer that bombs to reinforce the false narrative that 3D platformers are a relic of the past with no place in modern gaming unless it's Mario. This shit was like Yooka Laylee all over again.

The point I was trying to make is that if somebody wants to point at video games and say they don't have meaning, you can make the same argument about everything, exactly like you are doing. I'm not interested in debating whether that is actually the case or not, besides, it would get too off topic for /vr/. Point is if video games have meaning to you personally, then they have meaning.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 28 04:16:31 2021 No.8460773 >>8460432 People are too lazy to actually explain what they mean. They're rather just throw out buzzwords and mindlessly argue over them.

Lol, first time hearing about this. Would like to read more, can't find any source.

Also, it's not surprising, 4chan is pretty good at hoaxes.
Iirc anons did the same with trollface image years ago, by making everyone believe it's a mark of some serial killer or something like that.
