That's why when I played it, I changed the voices to Japanese, and just read the dialogue. MUCH better that way. The story is not half bad (aside from Edge's childish meltdown halfway though the...

Exactly. When they merged with Enix, they suddenly got delusions of grandeur and tried to become the Japanese version of EA, which has failed miserably. They have produced some awesome games as...

It's because they are Japanese and have a different mindset. It's also because the gaming industry has grown far, far bigger than Japan and they don't know how to deal with it.

The act of playing the game is not artistic expression and neither is the act of playing a video game artistic expression (unless you are playing a game that involves creation of digital art or the...

Well considering that you said to be considered art, it should be in a museum, and now the Smithsonian American Art Institute has included videogames in its museum, do you now consider videogames art?

Yes.

Candyland is art. There is definite artistic expression in the design of the game board. Dungeons and Dragons is art. But it is also an artistic supply kit (the game rules are like an...

I think the vast majority could be classed as art to some degree. I think it depends on the amount of creativity and imagination (i.e. expression) that went into the creation/design of the game. ...

Considering that the Smithsonian American Art Museum has a videogame branch and a curator and videogame art is...

Art has a defined answer and it is what I told you. It is very simple.

What is not simple is determining what is and what is not art, which is why this conversation is going the way it is.

Art...

You mistake the meaning of the word ART.

Art is simply a creation meant to EXPRESS something. An emotion. A message. A story. That's it. It's that simple. A roller coaster is art. It is...

The definition of art is very simple. People just love trying to make it seem more complex than it is. Especially those people who's business is art-driven (i.e. Kojima and Ebert)

They are both...

What Square Enix needs to do is give Final Fantasy a break. Go ahead and release FFvsXIII, FFXIV and then take their sweet time with XV. Square Enix needs to come up with new franchises and revive...

how is 70 million not very successful? In videogame history, not very many console reached that milestone. PS1 and PS2 of course. Xbox 360 and Wii. Dudes, not even the Nintendo or Supernindento...

Videogames are already art. Art is simply expression. A creation by an individual or individuals designed to convey the feelings of the creators or to invoke an emotion in the person experiencing...

Star Ocean: The Last Hope (International). The game has a bad rep, but I'm enjoying it. Love the character models, they're gorgeous!

PS3: Cross Edge, Bayonetta and White Knight Chronicles II.
PSP: Legend of Dragoon.

They suck at programming for the PS3?

I'm not a big Dark Cloud fan, but I would like to see either White Knight Chronicles 3, or Rogue Galaxy 2. Or even better, a new I.P. that's as good aand epic as Rogue Galaxy was...

This.

I really, really, REALLY hate the new design, but if the gameplay is at all like the good old DMC of old, then I might be willing to give it a try.

But yeah, I'm still pissed about this...

Yakuza: Of The End (aka Yakuza: Dead Souls). That's the next zombie game I plan to pick up.

Take that, Kotaku!!!

Yeah, I'm interested in this game. Hopefully they will show some real gameplay screens soon.

First the Tales of Xillia localization news and not this. The good news keeps rolling in. Awesome. Seems like Bamco may actually be trying to repair the schism between itself and the gamers...

No, what they are saying is that "We're tired of spending tens of millions of dollars on game development and only getting a couple of million units in sales, so we're going to reduce how much money...

I think it's safe to say that the PS3 will likely launch holiday season 2013. Thats a year and a half away. Why take sales away from your current console by talking about your future console now?
