D. They can have politics. They need to just stop the identity politics.

If games want to be taken seriously as art by the general public, they're going to have to deal with sensitive topics sometimes, even if people don't like it. Same deal as movies really.

But you don't care about identity politics when it's white cis heterosexual men. Convenient.

The kind that makes people like Stephen King get criticized for saying quality is more important than diversity.

i dont get why people want games to be taken seriously as art. im fuckin tired of these interactive movie, corridor crawling, hyper realistic wanna be blockbusters getting a free pass just because they're "deep" or some shit like that. if it's first priority isnt being fun then it's a hard c for me. otherwise i don't give a shit what they do.

Here's what I think. The epic bombs known as Cats and Dolittle are great examples of just how out of touch Hollywood is with real people. So many big stars involved, such huge amounts of money pumped into absolute garbage that nobody enjoys, and they don't understand what went wrong.

So naturally, these same people's political views do not mesh well with normal, average peons like us.

You don't have to have those to be art.

I'm fine with politics in general, but the whole "real world" angle can go away. Use fake people/characters to send a message all you like, but the second you start using real people in fake stories as a way of manipulating the audience to dislike them, you lose all credibility with me.

The Newsroom did this, and I stopped watching the show because of it. Good show, obnoxious agenda.

focusing on the wrong things. kojima games hardly have any of the shit i mentioned aside from hyper realistic graphics and they're still shit because he very clearly focuses more on everything else but making a video game. point being games should be fun first and foremost. there's plenty of other mediums and platforms out there if you want to put your art out there.

i feel like everytime i watch or read a review it goes like this:

"this game has such a compelling and deep narrative. i love how it touches on these hot buttons issues. the characters are so well written and seem so real"

ok but is it fun?

"and the soundtrack is amazing. it really sets the tone. so many emotional tracks"

is the game fun?

"and the art direction. its so vivid and refreshing. it does a great job symbolizing..."

BITCH JUST LEMME KNOW BOUT THE GAMEPLAY GOD DAYUM
