Subject: Weekly Community Debate: Bungie Community consider Videogames an art?

I never knew it was a question. I thought it just went without say that video games were art.

I've been reading about various peoples opinions on the matter and I'm curious about what people of the Bungie Community think. Are video games an art form?


It's so beautiful... it brings me to tears. :.)

I run Skirmish!!!

I would say video games are art. They are composed of all aspects of art. Not to mention forge in games like halo takes creative talent and making montages out of clips take creative editing. Not to mention doing crazy snipes, precision BR shots, etc. takes talent

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

Of course it's art.

So what you mean to say is that it all varies from person to person, is all a matter of opinion, entirely subjective, and you should not judge based on it? Wow, it's almost like that's what I've been saying the whole time!

I actually appreciate the logical way you explained that, as opposed to the completely biased scolding that I expected.

Thank you for that completely cancerous, nonsensical and seemingly random picture. That didn't quite go there, as that was probably my least butthurt post, but you might find yourself a bit more at home here.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Yes.
Anyone can make them, but only the artist(s) can make one that a majority of people like.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

If video games can't be art, then what do we call all of these?

It seems to be that people who make video games are always blown away by the concept artists. You can learn programming but you cant learn imagination, art makes or breaks video games.

I'd say coding in general is art.

Actually, this too, programmers have to be creative even though they have more rules.
When you think about it, it's just like painting, except they have a different medium.

Painting uses brushes and paint.
Coding uses the keystrokes you type in.

The best thing is: You can fix your mistakes after you finish your huge wall of text, but one does not simply fix a painted picture.

I want to learn coding one day, it would be neat.

Everything is art. Fractal maths = art, to prove a point.
