gamers stopped rallying behind the "games are art" flag when they realized treating games with critical seriousness meant that things like instant gratification and primal sublimation would be relegated to the low brow. they never actually wanted games to be considered art, they just wanted their worthless escapism to be vindicated with cultural clout. as soon as they found out that sitting at the grown-ups' table meant they had to eat their vegetables, they balked and trudged back to the kids' table muttering "shut the gently caress up and just play games"

Al Cowens posted:What's Portal's 'legacy' Undertale I'm betting in as much time is going to be remembered for making its moral choice system implicit but maintaining its impact through ~ludonarrative~ (meaning the unstated narrative you get out of gameplay. now get mad at the neologism, everybody who is worthless.) the bullet hell system is novel, but it's not much more of a departure from turn-based/active-time battle than Paper Mario was, and the prodding at base assumptions is more navel-gazing than it is pioneering. its real accomplishment was just making players feel bad for doing things in game that they would feel bad about doing irl. no floating -5 to the karma meter, no devil horns, just the fact that the dog you killed is dead forever and you won't see it again because you killed it. that's an innovation that can be incorporated across genre, and expand the possibilities of conflict resolution in game design. whoops i mean fart balls cuck vote for trump

Ork of Fiction posted:Yeah. Undertale. I don't think that the gameplay was really the sticking point, or even the way that it offers multiple approaches to how the game is played. That stuff was novel, but not what made it popular so much as it speaking to a time and a place in a way that nothing before really has be able to do with any authenticity. I've called it the Clerks of video games before, and I stick by it. It's an exemplary freshman work from an independent artist that captured something human about its audience as well as its subjects.
