Aight, I'll take your bait.

Video games are, by definition, an art form. Basically any kind of human expression put to a medium is. The quality or "depth" or message doesn't fucking matter.

If we're debating whether vidya are "high art", I'll got two things to say: who cares, and who made this faggot the arbitrator of all forms of art. Dude was a LITERAL angry critic, whose only credible authority was in regards to movies. His opinion on any other art form is a literal "whatever". Nobody should care to please him and change his mind, and for that matter, nobody should care about making vidya high art.

The fucking medium has been ruined because people tried to validate this genre as high art, and themselves as Artists, moving away from "is this gonna be fun and engaging for the player" to a "let's just make shitty, barely interactive movies instead."

>>729114738
Not really, he basically only ever critiqued movies. He was a fan of music, literature, even video games and comics to an extent but his job as a critic really only ever was about movies.

How do you guys think the undertale prequel fan games in development should handle saving for the souls? My idea is hallucinations, everytime a soul dies,he wakes up and start at the last point he slept at(that's his way of saving,taking rest at various places,everytime he dies,it's a bad ending). Another idea I have is a character from the future travelled backing in time to stop something horrible from happening after the undertale ending and is helping the soul out. To me,this is good idea because you can introduce the original cast without breaking canon. Heck,this could be the weird route or the true ending of a prequel game.

it does with the reworked physics and the final smash meter that was supposed to be a standard for tournaments (they did use it in official tournaments but nobody else bothers)
>>
>>729114393
>reworked physics
ultimate is only superficially faster than brawl and 4, the changes actually do very little to make the game conducive for competitive play. some of the changes were actually detrimental, like auto-cancel aerials, spot dodge canceling, and universal 3f jumpsquat. i don't know if they foresaw this or not, but the fact is that they never improved upon any of it in balance patches.

tl;dr nintendo mostly just makes minor concessions to tourneyfags, but still designs the game to be played within the constraints of their very specific, semi-competitive-but-mostly-casual vision. hence the final smash meter you mentioned.

>>729113497
>The pokeballs' pokemons after Smash Melee sucks very much.
Ok this is a very good example. Because even the grandest of legendaries in melee still only takes up a quarter the screen for 4 seconds, and wouldn't move their location. They were clearly area denial tools. But then brawl decide that area should be the whole screen, should be a garuntee kill, and should follow the player.
ATs just take that brawl pokemon mentality and make them 20x more obnoxious. Ultimate made a right step by making them killable. However that doesn't at all justify adding a bunch of ATs that are borderline playable characters and a straight up boss fight.

Also everything about that can be criticized about post-melee items is like 100x more applicable to stages

Hijacking this thread because the other one got deleted and I want to post it somewhere.
The topic was selling family fantasies.

The reasons for it are socioeconomic.
Remember 15-20 years ago when the marketing mantra was "sex sells"? How millennials got tits and asses shoved in their faces at every opportunity when they were in their early 20s?
Well, those millennials are now pushing 40. But due to how fucked our wealth redistribution is, they are STILL the most valuable marketing target by far.

Zoomers don't have money so not many companies advertise to them, although South Koreans seem to have a measure of success there. If you want to make mad money, advertise to millennials who only get richer as their boomer parents bequeath more and more wealth to them.
And while you can still shill tits and asses to 40 year olds, chances are most of them are in a different stage of their lives. The biological clock demands children. Or, if they already have a family of their own, making games with children/families in them will allow for better self-inserts or representation.

You are always being sold a fantasy. Back then that fantasy was having a harem of hot bitches that admire your demon shooting skills. Now it's having a cute daughter, an obedient yet able son and of course a wife that loves you unconditionally.

Pragmata is just the latest GOTY example of this fairly recent but not new phenomena.
It's the same with anime by the way. Look at the slop that's being released lately. It's almost always a "middle aged guy + cute child sidekick". SpyxFamily was one of the bigger hits for that reason.
