FirstAidKite posted:I never said games exist in a vacuum though. I'm not trying to compare them to film or saying that we're waiting for a citizen kane of video games or anything like that. I don't really get what the rest of what you said had to do with what I said because all I'm saying is I'm just wondering when film analysis started to become a thing because I kinda doubt there was any kind of meaningful critique or analysis during film's infancy, and film has been around in some form or another for over a century whereas video games have only been a thing since uhhh the 70s I wanna say. I figure as the people who grew up on games continue to get older, we might potentially see more people trying to make professional publications of critical and analytical looks at video games, their design, their aesthetic, the environment around them, etc. People were writing critically about cinema within a few decades of the Lumieres recording a train, so we're talking about the 1900s and 1910s. Academically it tended to be from different fields about how film was a breakthrough in some aspect connected to their field (psychology and perception, literary studies and storytelling, etc.) In terms of more popular criticism, that was starting to happen in around the 1930s and 1940s. Before then the reviews tended to be in trade journals where theater owners would read about which films to buy (you could probably make parallels to consumer game reviews here), and it wasn't until later that mainstream newspaper reviews that discussed films on an aesthetic level became a thing

Dr Cheeto posted:I didn't mean that the entire genre is valueless, just that every piece of human creative expression is art, and that not all of those pieces of creative expression are worthwhile. Suicide Squad is art. It's ridiculously hard to draw a line between "art" and "not art" and I always find it kind of fun to figure out where people draw that line personally. Like, I think if you ask a lot of people what makes something "art," they'll tell you a definition that involves a value judgment, but at the same time, I think most of us agree that there is such a thing as bad art. And if bad art exists, our definition of "art" can't really factor in quality or value.

"Academically" was the word I couldn't think of that I could have used to describe what I meant. I know film goes back to like the 1880s so with that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised to see games following a similar (though not the same) path and having progressively more and more academically-minded publications regarding them. I mean, there are some now, I'm sure, I think there was this one book about nintendo that I heard was good and it was about how brutal they were during the 80s and 90s in fighting there way up. Nothing like with the numerous, numerous books on the studies of writing, music, film, animation, painting, dancing, sculpting, architecture, anything like that

You're absolutely right. I mentioned Suicide Squad in particular because I've been looking at it as an object lesson in bad editing. Jay Rust posted:Am I art? Your posts are!

The Folding Ideas guy has a good youtube series all about the bad editing in Suicide Squad if you are so inclined. He's also done a couple video game entries like Bloodborne.

Jay Rust posted:Am I art? Sure, why not? imo art can be whatever you want it to be, with art having multiple meanings and some art being good and some art being bad. For me the sole qualification for something to be art is that a person believes it to be art. Sure I might disagree and not find it all that artistic, but that's where the subjectivity of art comes into play. If you (general, not specific) drink a bottle of tea and look at the empty bottle and says "that's art" then okay sure, assuming you aren't just taking the piss then sure, it's art, but I don't think it's all that good unless you can convince me otherwise.
