Used to be. Then games became more cinematic and we get games that are deeper than movies.

Video gamers need to stop seeing the 'art' label as something that legitimises the medium.

Simply being 'art' doesn't make a thing good or bad, it merely describes its function (or lack of it). If you want to claim Journey is art, then you must accept that Ride to Hell is also art.

there are different forms of art that call for audience participation (some art exhibits & certain plays, from what I'm aware of), and I think the other poster was saying that what constitutes as art isn't the quality of its work, but its purpose, and you have to take the good with the bad

Ride to Hell is a tool someone produced to create good art.

Ive watched hilarious videos of people playing it that I would have been denied if it hadnt been the way it was.

What does that have to do with only one of them counting as art?

People have made works of art out of literal trash.

what does leaving your doors unlocked have to do with that being the dumbest shit youve ever read... ?

its a singular experience created for you by an artist. if we say video games are art thats kind of a slippery slope to saying soccer or poker or chess are art. which doesnt really make much sense to me but to each his own i guess

Sports dont present a narrative though. Theres no story arc, no character development, no visual or audio aids to enhance the experience. A video game is an interactive movie, and if a movie is art

That arguably makes it qualify as art then. Not very good art, of course, but art nonetheless.

Yes they are, they have all sorts of things to make them art, story, music, graphics etc, the SCOTUS even declared them to be art in 2011.

Well, if you say so.

do you think athletes don't develop their skills (or get worse) or have personalities that drive narratives, team chemistry, and so forth? and also sports have all sorts of stats and scorebugs and whatnot on the game broadcast or jumbotron at the game to better help you understand the context of the game. not really sure how you are apparently unaware of all this unless you are completely disengaged from sports.

There are a lot of art installations and performances that depend on audience participation.
