  I wonder if I See Clam ever feels bad he commited himself to hating all non-Shmup indie games from the beginning, and every year he has to hate more and more games.

  Soulja Boy has had several hit singles and Johnathan Blow has not so I'm inclined to trust his opinion here.

  which is an opinion she already expressed, right
  
  so i took it to mean 'look that's all i'm saying alright stop trying to convince me they're good'
  
  when i spell this out like this i realize i maybe read too much into this
  
  idk

  I've played some of Braid.
  
  It's an interesting puzzle platformer.
  
  I'm not smart enough (or not patient enough) to beat it without guides.
  
  The story...it seemed more like flavortext, I guess.
  
  Is the game art?
  
  You can say it's art; you can say it's not art.
  
  It's as much art as other games are art.
  
  I personally believe games are art anyway.
  
  Sorry, I just sorta ignore the whole argument over whether specific games are or aren't art, and simply declare all of them art.

• glennmagusharvey

  2015-07-18 00:17:11

  why do people argue whether games are art
  
  they are works in a creative medium
  
  therefore they are all art
  
• Tachyon

  2015-07-18 00:19:01

  ^{i will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch}
  

  cuz 'works in a creative medium' is not a universally recognized definition of the word 'art'

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  Braid seems like something I might like, and I suspect that much of the hatred towards it is projecting the developer's admittedly dumb behaviour onto it, much like what happened with Fez.
  
  I can't say for sure, though, and I don't want to appear stupid in case I'm wrong, so just whatever, I guess.

  what did the braid creator do again?

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  I've always just been surprised by the level of hype.

  
  

  Yes, it's a platformer with time mechanics and slightly more interesting than usual plot. That's just a few steps above every Kongregate game published from 2008 to 2011

  I want you to listen to this while telling me Braid is a bad game.

  
  

  Not because it will change your mind, you'll just be listening to good music while calling a game shitty.

  he's a racist and general douchebag.

  
  

  Braid isn't a good game imo though whereas I actually thought Fez was.

  ...okay, the soundtrack is leagues better than anything Kongregate has ever put up. Well, a league at least.

  i remember that music, it's good
  
  and apparently Blow said Japanese games were 'joyless husks'
  
  which is dumb

  The director of L.A. Noire was a masterclass douchebag, but that's a good game.

  well it's my definition i guess
  
  so who cares about others' definitions
  
  we're talking about art anyway

  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  Bastion's better than Braid.

  
  

  Also, the debate about what is and isn't art is far older than any of us put together, and from what I can tell, having an all-encompassing definition isn't going to cut it.

  
  

  The debating what is and isn't art, ironically, is a craft.
