    with the addition of a word filter lol nobody thinks video games are art except for gamers!

    kappa means 'i'm joking', it's a twitch meme. figured you guys would know it. i'm a little frustrated, but i should have expected this type of response. i'm on a lego website, after all.

    explain specifically how the gamplay in SOTC contributed to the story. humans can emphasize with other humans, or images of humans, more easily than they can with recreations of humans. yeah, films use cgi which is the same thing. it's just a barrier that exists in the human mind. i did say it was harder, not impossible. you're ignorant. google 'are video games art' and then tell me people are in agreement. if you can't tell me that, then it is, by definition, controversial. i'll admit i was a little wrong (but frankly you guys are still sperging more than you need to) in saying that they aren't art- they can be, hypothetically, but they aren't right now. there are a few cases but those are so few and far between and the examples you guys HAVE given would've been better if they existed in other mediums. specifically literature, since it is by far the greatest method of storytelling.

    nah. video games tell their stories through cutscenes, which are just segments of films. the actual gameplay has no affect on the story at all (except in heavy rain), it's just sort of a series of puzzles or challenges between bits of film. having gameplay is what defines video games AS being video games, and it has no artistic value at all. This opinion is wrong in so many ways, like, I can't even. Just refer to literally every single post above mine. video games are designed to entertain, not to stimulate minds or emotions. okay i get this is a controversial topic so we should probably drop it; in theory, video games could be art, but right now, developers don't seem to have much interest in it and so if you all think it's art, then i think you're babies who need to reevaluate your lives. kappa. but seriously this is gonna go nowhere.

    yes i have. they're pretty, but pretty things do not constitute art. this guy gets it nah. video games tell their stories through cutscenes, which are just segments of films. the actual gameplay has no affect on the story at all (except in heavy rain), it's just sort of a series of puzzles or challenges between bits of film. having gameplay is what defines video games AS being video games, and it has no artistic value at all. also, it's harder to empathize with 3d models, no matter how lifelike they are. there's no human element like there is in music or cinema. even paintings were made by hand, as opposed to video games which were made by computers.

    films are actually capable of being art, video games are not. i'll gladly take good american cinema over good american video games. edit: its kinda messed up i have the three year/four year spinny, it seems like the last two years on this site were spent almost entirely in this topic.

    there was this xbox game made by fromsoft that only released in japan, it was like, mecha american president slaying terrorists who took over america with michael bay style explosions and duke nukem style catchphrases. i couldn't make it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Genl242_ZU8 but outside of this 1 game yeah fromsoft makes serious games for serious gamers
  8. Archer Vonn
    haha this sounds like some denial, like yeah it was purposely hard but that's just the style of the series. it's what fromsoft is known for. you're criticizing it's main selling point, something you should have very well been aware of when you bought it. try the gigantic minecraft topic. the gigantic minecraft topic has been lost to the sands of time, my bad. also why is your font so big.

    how are the IVs though lol

    dear gamefreak, please put all evolutionary stones in some sort of shop in the future, because your RNG based system of rewards from rematches is NOT effective or reliable. i don't care how expensive the stones are, what currency they use (though BP makes the most sense), just do it, or at least guarantee a few stones in game. sincerely, a man with a handful of 5IV doublades and no way to evolve them.

    it did come out a year earlier. and nintendo games are always a matter of flavor; there are still more ps4 games i'd play than wiiu games, despite the smaller library. iirc it wasn't in north america-- it was sold, two games for $90 with a potions package to sweeten (?) the deal.
  12. Archer Vonn
    why would you still need your ds lite? 3ds is backwards compatible.

    i pulled pokerus and a shiny shroomish back in BW, outside of that my luck's been quiet. my friend caught two shiny mienfoo's in the same day and he's so proud of it. shinies are sort of an irrelevant thing though, being shiny means nothing and if they have bad stats they're useless.
  14. Archer Vonn
    i love pulling legendaries out of wonder trade. i got an arceus earlier. like yeah, it's cloned, but still.

    some say the hole in the middle is where the government sneaks cameras into your body to spy on your stomachs. youtube
  16. Archer Vonn
    i feel your pain bro, i can't play bloodborne because i have to pay attorney fees because i killed a man while in a fit of rage caused by playing dark souls so i dont have a ps4
  17. Archer Vonn
    not nearly enough ice types ^ @goodra: see? that's two people that like it. two more people than the amount of people that should like it.

    i was quite upset by that list as well lol fav: 1: gyarados, hitmonlee, haunter, zapdos, articuno, machamp, rhydon 2: heracross, tyranitar, feraligatr, raikou, celebi (fav pixie), forretress 3: metagross. manectric. didn't like 3. 4. roserade rhyperior, garchomp, giratina-o (like could be better but its design for all its flaws is still really good), lucario, electivire (why cant he be good), darkrai, heatran, yanmega 5. kyurem-b, thundurus and landorus incarnate (therians ugly) zekrom, bisharp, scrafty. conkeldurr. volcarona, hydreigon. beartic, escavalier, cof@grigus, genesect 6. aegislash, greninja, talonbird, tyrantrum. chesnaught, braixen, MUCHA LUCHA, avalugg fav megas in design are charizard X and mega beedrill. sceptile honorable mention. least fav: 1. gloom. tried so hard to make it ugly and it was ugly. 2. girafarig 3. no comment 4. shellos. (gastro is cool) 5. all final stage starters 6. delphox. the middle stage of scatterbug. also while we're doing lists here's a list of pokemon i think have the most overrated designs in each gen: 1. jolteon 2. typhlosion, suicune. 3. flygon 4. gallade 5. none are super popular that don't deserve to be. 6. goodra.

    pokewomon Y. doing dat nuzlocke. again. after losing it twice already. i got bad luck with encounters, yo. but not this time.
  21. Archer Vonn
    you realize halo's soundtrack is sort of overrated when you listen to the rest of it instead of just remembering the cool ones from campaign
  22. Archer Vonn
    you dare?!
  23. Archer Vonn
    gen 1 had a few of those. electrode just turns upside down. also dratini and dragonair (it gets bigger?), and slowpoke just gets a shell on its tail. @metaknight: you can just play wifi singles against strangers if you wanna use luc and aegislash. keep in mind you'll be fighting even more evil stuff like mega mom and blaziken. aegislash is being considered for an OU retest, though, since it isn't as broken as other stuff

    ye i feel the majority of the pokemon forums and fansites are in agreement that the games are getting better, not worse. it's just the vocal fans on non-dedicated sites like reddit or youtube that are all 'old = gold' 'new pokemon suck' so like you're definitely not alone in thinking that, man, but at the same time you aren't thinking of them as a pokemon fan, more as a kid who played pokemon but never got too into it. kalos had some really sick designs, man. greninja, aegislash, even the regional bird actually looks really cool. and yeah unova had a lot of bad or weird looking mons too but that's because they added more mons than any other region. the only gen to do that was kanto and if you compare kanto to unova designs, i still gotta say that unova has the better ones, even if the starters were lame.
