Idealism

So I made a thread about realism in games and brought up Greek statues and someone pointed out that the Greeks were about Idealism and not Realism. It made me wonder how exactly Idealism would work in video games. how would you show off humanity at its absolute peak and still make a good video game? best I can think of is Dante from Devil may cry but he is only half human. Granted I am not an art major so I might be missing the point of idealism.

You really can't make a truly idealistic game. Challenge in an FPS for example comes from facing off against a myriad of enemies with different strengths and weaknesses, in addition to all the other components of the game.

That's not so much idealism though. There is no ideal character in the game, as all the characters play differently, with their own movesets and attacks. Arguably, some are better than others, but none is "the best", or the ideal.

I don't think Idealism would translate to good gameplay or even storytelling, unless you somehow conceptualize it as "creating the most perfect game" which is an impossible feat. Although my incredibly poor art knowledge tells me Idealism was more about physical perfection and beauty, rather than perfect characters/action. If everyone in the old Greek stories were perfect, those stories would have probably been shit and boring.
Idealism could certainly be applied to modeling, spriting, animating, etc. in order to ensure the game looks pretty, with handsome men and beautiful women. Filling the game with the types of people that you would want to be, physically, and filling the setting with the kinds of places you would want to live or visit. However, due to the limitations of hardware, even the most beautiful game of yesteryear can become outdated. Idealism would have to be applied as a constant to ensure the next generation of games looks more beautiful than the last.
Unlike the statues of old, games can become outdated visually. Those ancient statues are still beautiful and represent Idealism even now, while an Idealist game from 10 years ago would only be able to represent Idealism in games from that time period. As such I think Idealism can be applied as an artistic design philosophy in games, but I don't think those games could be truly representative of Idealism. They could come to represent their own movement inspired by Idealism, though.
Just the poorly educated opinion of me.
While beautiful women have become taboo, beautiful or fantastic landscapes have not (yet).

I don't see how would work as an gameplay mechanic but its much more suited to story telling as it could incorporate ones road to such idealism. This is an interesting topic as you cannot create the feeling of Idealism without making it coherent with Realism.
Funny how people used to struggle in finding a balance between Idealism and Realism and then some fuckwads came and created Degeneratism where everything is worse than Realism.

He isn't that good actually, well at least the playable character in sfiv was very nerfed compared to the one you fight in the singleplayer campaign.

You're talking aesthetics, which are meaningless when it comes to games. And, even so, aesthetically it isn't idealist. Idealism posits the existence of one ideal, not the existence of multiple ideals. The ideal man, the ideal woman, the ideal situation, the ideal world. If the characters were all visually identical, with minor, meaningless differences, that would be idealistic.

This is how modern society defines an idealistic game/character. This is flawless, this is perfection.

In other words, give up.

Yes, apparently the Greeks wanted to be 'as close to the gods as possible', and that's why they keep making ideal shit.

Idealism in game should probably be like less in making the perfect game, and more on creating games that is influenced by idealism as an idea.

its hard to make a utopia fun because real enjoyment comes from overcoming a challenge, and in an ideal world all challenges have been overcome. that being said, a game about an ideal hero fighting the more realistic forms of evil and negative energy would be my first choice if making a game about "idealism"

It's actually Witcher 3. Girl is Triss.

Gill is op in third strike, they didn't even nerf him when adding him to single player. Also Akuma in sf2 super turbo is op and banned from tournament play.

This user gets it.

Also dissecting teh question. Artist of the past had it somewhat easy. Just copying the nature was a tremendous achievement, indeed by handwork it is a wonder. But in modern time just copying the nature lost its value, technology ruined this art, disfranchised such achievement, everyone with iphone in the hand can make a copy of real body better than any artist could ever hope to achieve. 4K porn is everywhere and costs nothing. Copying of the nature became trade not art. Artists need to DO BETTER than nature and this is an essence of idealism. Nips and there anime art culture is only major art movement today that builds itself on seeking such better than life human ideal.

Yes this is why OP posts starts with booty and this why Renaissance artists drew so much of waifus naked or not.

It's disgusting filth. The Greeks shouldn't be idolized, but used as a stepping stone. They're among the earliest, most primitive forms of civilization, with their savagery, pederasty and carnal lust: think of what we could achieve if we took their work and elevated it, built upon it. Our culture, our society, our civilization is in degeneration because we forgot to take the example of the Greeks as a cautionary tale.

I have to agree.

Shit faces and slut walk do not say ideal.

How do we know this? Many examples of Greek pottery, regarded as low, common art in its time, depict homophilia in gross detail.

Average Greek praised state founded whorehouses filled with foreign enslaved girls. Imagine levels of toxic male oppression.

That's just prove there's always have been degenerates that feel the need to prove to everyone they are the biggest faggot

Pottery was commissioned user. Potters were paid to engrave all manner of things on the pots they made, whether they agreed to it or not. It was pornography. The fact that we still have such a concept today is a testament to the moral depravity of this society, which is still stuck in the past. It should have been gradual progression, and it was: Rome was better, then Byzantium, then the Medieval States, and so on. But somewhere, in that transition to the modern age, the progress reversed in a rapid cacophony back to the age of the Greeks and their decadence. I can only hope we degenerate once more to the days of great Uruk, of Ur and Eridu.

The ideal character in the game is subjective. It's one of those cases where there's a character for everyone. No matter who you are, at least one character in Street Fighter will resonate with you.


I'd like to introduce a point to the thread: Eroge is an entire genre built on idealism. A modern interpretation of idealism is subjective idealism. That is, having a variety of options because different people will idealize different things. Eroge captures this essence perfectly, with games effectively being built around picking a character to fawn over, or outright creating your own.
Classic idealism would be something more along the lines of, and I say this unironically, Sonic the Hedgehog. It was a game trying to be, in no hyperbole, the best. It wanted to be something that would capture a universal audience with a single piece, and it did this through intense market research and compounding the various idealized pieces from works that had come before it.

Attached: 1506136420.png (540x430, 134.45K)

Maybe you are wrong with hypotheses that thing you call "decadence" is reversion of the progress.

What the fuck am I reading?

All I'm getting from this is that pottery fans were the furfags of ancient Greece, and potters were the starving artists who became famous for drawing gigantic donut buttholes on neon colored insects and farm animals.
I don't think this can be cured, merely treated in the short-term.

You should learn to distinguish between erotics and porn.

It is. The seeking of pleasure is the most animalistic thing a human can do. Pleasure was the incentive for the actions our ancient ancestors performed, not the purpose. The purpose was the betterment of the species, the goal was civilization. At some point the incentive had to go away, so that man could realize his purpose.

They're both filth, but one has some mystical thread attached to it, that idea of "love".

I think you should go back to >>>/tumblr/ or >>>/christian/

Christians indulge in erotica all the time. A historically significant piece of erotica is found right in their compendium of Holy Books, written by the diabolist king, Solomon. Tumblr teems with the sort as well.

Sexuality doesn't exist user. Intercourse has but one purpose, and that is the development of another human being. To think otherwise is decadent. Love is a concept for the poets, not a reality.

I don't see how I would be a plebeian in any sense of the concept. Would it not be comforting for me to believe that love is a true part of human society? Is it not more discomforting to know the truth, that it is but a delusion?

Love is derived from animalistic desire user. In all its forms. There is no spirit or soul in dopamine. It's only there to convince people into doing things which are good for not only the body, but the species. If God was just, He would have removed the ability to feel pleasure upon the development of literacy and civilization.

Apotheon aside, are there any games where you get to play greek spearmen? Or spearmen in general?

Well blame the nature that hacked reproduction problem with one simple trick. Tying orgasm to ejaculation. Primitive hack job but it only thing that works. Carnal pleasure is a way of life. Rejecting this pleasure is the end of the species. Can uncontrolled consumption of lust destroy? Indeed. But rejection of lust kills lifeline no less sure. Humans need forbidden fruit but suffer from it to. Sounds familiar? You version of ideal is staying in Paradise, but it is limbo, nonexistence by not having a conscious.

Yes, I suppose. Why did God, if He exists, put this feeling in man? This feeling which ultimately and always leads to death, disease, depression, and degeneration? This feeling which has brought society as a whole to such a bottomless pit of degradation, where there is no objective good other than pleasure?

God exists?

To have fun you fucking faggot. We can't be saints all the time and without pleasure vidya life loses a lot of it's spice.

Shame. Was hoping it would give me something to play after Orcs must die.

Might as well say "why did he give us life if it ultimately leads to death, disease, depression and degeneration?".
Pleasure works as an incentive. Whether you base your entire life around it is a different topic.

What value does fun have though? It's temporal, neverlasting. It leads to nothing at this point in time. It was useful when we were primitive cave dwellers, but we are no longer primitive cave dwellers. We have language, we can think, yet we are still brought to peril by this primordial delusion which is love, which is pleasure.

You can disappear up your own existential arsehole lad, I'm going to enjoy this existence with fun things.

You think you can build something without foundations. Are you just fishing for (you)s at this point?

And yet they will scream bloody murder if you point out it's gay.

Image and iconography.
Men that are important must always be the peak of beauty and physical form, and never fail without a comeback to destroy their enemies later.
All opposition must be portrayed as weak, ugly and retarded (so, like jews), and always fail.
As for women, the good ones must have no flaws, but still be subversive and incapable of realizing anything without Men.
The bad ones must always be envious, manipulative and overall ugly (or not as beautiful as the good ones), and always be punished, tortured, abused in any form, for their deeds.
Push enough of all of this, and soon, people will start to notice the connections with reality, and then it becomes Realism without even changing anything.

I bet the Jews did this.

But that user said just putting a dick on a female doesn't make it male
Liking girls isn't gay

Eating is also temporal. Hunger will come back later. Yet eating is what allows us to live longer.

Are you a fucking homosexual?

Reported. Kill yourself.

Kill yourself, queer.
The pots which did represent actual gay sex–censored by intercrucial depictions–are few. And does the existence of homosexual pornography tell us the society as a whole generally thought homosexuality was natural and good? Of course not. Then there’s the whole term pederasty and what we translate as “lover.” If pederasty was about sex, then why was admiring boys in a sexual way frowned upon? We know there were prohibitions of this. It seems that what we translate as “lover” should more likely be translated as “teacher.”
Sodomy–the modern definition of anal sex rather than the Middle Ages’ of bestiality, et. al.–was punishable by death in most of the city-states of Greece. Pederasty was institutional in some cases (Sparta and Thebes), but penetrative sex was not. And in Athens, the openly homosexual could not own property, and, by extension, vote or serve in a public office. In Rome, homosexuality was considered a vice. You were technically allowed to sodomize a male slave, but doing so would be looked at as a “decadent Greek practice.” Though the openly homosexual could own property, they could not hold office or military rank. Homosexual activity of any type with a fellow citizen meant that you would be cast out of social circles. Receiving sodomy was a crime punished by revocation of property, and, by extension, rights of citizenship. In some Providences, it was punished by death or exile.

Rome lasted for millennia lad, they've frowned on sodomy until the absorption of Greece, and even after it was very damn limited (war-bound + some degenerates among the ultra-rich + baccus cultists' orgies), then abolished entirely with the conversion to Christianity

That has literally nothing to do with the argument you illiterate nigger

no such thing exists. That's just called an opinion retard.

You're mistaken. Perception is human interpretation of reality, which is inherently flawed.

To make an example, there are today literally tens of millions of niggers thinking they are "systematically oppressed by racism embedded in governance" while they're treated as first class citizens with lesser penalties, free opportunity, free food, free compassion etc.
They perceive oppression but oppression isn't reality.

isn't rooted in fact. There are people out there that see demons and monsters in their minds, and to any discernible effect they can perceive, their hallucinations are "real"

Everything you experience is your perception of reality
Everything you experience is exclusive to you
The brain's ability to perceive the world outside of it is not "an opinion"

The distinction here being traps aren't a hallucination, they have that name for a reason, they're a collective observable phenomena across all of humanity based on our basic instinctual reactions to secondary sex characteristics working the way they do

just because you're too unenlightened to see reality doesn't mean it isn't there.

Except propaganda by nature is flawed and exists to push ideas that aren't true. What you said about ideals in relation to men and women eventually leads to a divide like it has now, and roles change over the years because people rebel against these roles, you can't keep society like that forever, it's already a broken system.
People will appeal to injustices and individualistic natures naturally and once it hooks someone, there's no coming back even if you spam propaganda in their face. As information become more and more easily accessible, propaganda loses it's importance because it's effectiveness starts to reduce and doesn't stop.
You can't control people when they're educating themselves, you can have groups, yes, but you can't unite a country with propaganda anymore. Which is why instead of that, you switch to truth.

You switch to things that cannot be denied, intrinsic truths, truths you simply do not have control over, only rights to discovery. You keep at that. Because people in this day and age understand what being lied to feels like, and that feeling will be the end of you.
Propaganda was ONCE important to keep people at a goal, but it's not going to work as a uniter in the current age, and regressing to a pre-internet society will only get you left in the dust by other countries, and reduce your ability to compete, ultimately those who do regress will be sidelined or destroyed.

You have to let go of your leash, because control isn't the way in this age. You have to uncover the truth. You have to show it to the world. And whatever comes, you can't control. If you do, you get shitcanned like the rest of the tyrants who tried. The age of control is over. Now it's the Wild West again, an age of chaos where things will be determined by individuals, not secret societies. And there's nothing either of us can do about that. That's a good thing. Those little secret societies are flawed, they comprimise lives, they make cold decisions that benefit no man. They're human, flawed, incomplete, prone to corruption. It'll be replaced by people who constantly replace before they can get to that point of evil. Be an agent of the truth, not propaganda, not lies. See the universe and determine its constants, and therein lies the way forward.

Who says propaganda has to be untrue? You based that fucking essay on the assumption that all propaganda is lies when the best propaganda IS the unfiltered truth!

yes.

Truth isn't propaganda. Are you telling me that saying that 2 + 2 = 4 is propaganda? Propaganda implies that you have to say an untrue thing over and over to get people to accept it, propaganda is just a repetition of things you want people to see as truth.

Besides, this is a very silly game of semantics you're playing to try to discredit the actual message via tertiary reasons. AKA propaganda tactics.

Idealism : Doom.
Realism : Kingdom Come.

Doom was pure teenage spirit and nihilism and rage bottled up in 1990's pre-Huffington Post freedom.

Let's face it : you will never 360 kill demons after shooting a rocket on the ground or anything like that irl.

Nope.

You know fantasy in a general sense doesn't mean tolkien elves and shit. It's just anything that is unreal and fantastic.

Fantasy means anything that is not real. Video games aren't real ergo it's all fantasy. Can you see how arguing about idealism in this way isn't going to bring us very far?

Premise wise Doom is a Fantasy game as it acknowledges concepts that are beyond the realm of science.

Hexen looks pretty dope tbh.

But, it doesn't have that classic feel to it or enough background lore where people would ride fucking essays about it like Doom has.

If you think Doom is fantasy, you're missing the point. Doom is a reflection of its times and as such a good candidate for idealism in video games.

Yes that's what I was getting at.

Also :

I've lost track of this thread then I guess. I'm so fucking tired of semantics discussion on this board.

I can't blame you, this whole thread is pretty much semantics.

Honestly, Doom guy shooting legions of hell is like a metaphor I feel.

For what, I don't know exactly, but if you think Doom is about just killing fantasy demons, you're way off the mark.

It's a metaphor for shooting legions of hell. Don't ascribe artistry to Doom. In fact don't ascribe artistry to VIDYA in general and we won't reference shit like Gone Home and we we will all be happier for it.

Doom is just a simple game about shooting demons, that's it. Nothing more nothing less, just meant to be fun.

Doomguy shooting the legions of hell is a metaphor for the player having fun.

I swear there's a term for things that include both sci-fi/science fantasy and traditional fantasy elements

DOOM is a metaphor of one man's struggle against his personal demons. You'll notice a strong motif of flasks, cups, bottles through the game. This represents the DOOMguy overindulging, but yet even in his drunken stupor, or towards the end of the game as he becomes increasingly intoxicated and eventually passes out, he fights to overcome his limitations and give up the bottle for good. The ending is left intentionally vague to be interpreted by the viewer, either as a message of hope or grim reality. Does the final boss represent DOOMguy overcoming his addiction, or does it portray his final surrender and imply that he drank himself to death?

Doom is supposed to look good, play good, and sound good. That's where the artistry goes, not some kind of insight into what it is to be human (although is probably on to something tbh).
I like how Hutchson says that good sound isn't important in Doom even though the sound design has a big impact in gameplay. It's easy to tell whether there's an imp or a zombieman in the darkness in front of you and that kind of sound design is lost in modern games like Doom '16.

Do not do this.

Gameplay is the most important priority of a game but that doesn't mean it's the only important priority. Sound and visual design all play a part

Name one good game without light

Gameplay may be the most important aspect of a game, but isn't the only thing that matters
Do you seriously think the super shotgun or the shotgun from Demonsteele or High Noon Drifter would be as satisfying and fun to use if they had a stock sound effect or no sound at all?
Gameplay close to meaningless if you don't have a good sound, visual, and level design to back it up.

Nigger, aesthetics are part of gameplay and are incredibly important if you want your game to be playable. Aesthetics are a description of what's going on inside the program and give the player/user some idea of what's going on inside. Even CLI programs and text adventures achieve an aesthetic through their textual descriptions of what's going on inside and how you can interact with the program.
A game with no aesthetic whatsoever would be meaningless because it would have no discernible output, effectively a blank screen. You could press as many keys as you wanted but you would get no apparent response, so whatever the game is actually doing internally is meaningless.

A wolf doesn't concern himself with the opinions of sheep. Go troll elsewhere.

There's always meaning in art, even if it's made for entertainment. The thing is that artists are putting in things like that subconcioussly or are even doing it concioussly but on very shallow level. DOOM still has motives of heroism, self-sacrifice, battling against evil and helping the weak. Just remind yourself why DOOMguy even got on Mars in the first place. He put his officer into a body bag because he didn't want to kill innocents. That is incredibly rebelious, and makes DOOMguy look like a complete battle-obsessed maniac but still makes him sympathethic. For all it's worth, DOOMguy has morals, he is the good guy, the hero who really loves fighting but at the same time has good enough of a heart to protect the weak. In the end he is just a very hardcore chaotic good hero that only does perfectly justifable and heroic things like protecting Earth from demons as well as protecting the weak from cruelty of his surperiors. That itself is a moral and a meaning.

I think he personally trolled a mod, seeing the reaction.

Fiction should always strive for fun and excitement, which is exactly the opposite of what modern Western writers shit out. Their aim is not to entertain, but to disgust and shock the audience. All their output can be basically summed up as blood, guts, feces and feces related jokes and cussing.

Just compare Tolkien and GRRM. One lived through, and wrote parts of his books, while in the trenches of WW1 (and other parts when both his sons were soldiers in WW2), and the other is a fat sack of shit that masturbates to the shitty sex scenes and food descriptions he writes.

Faggot some of the greatest works of fiction strive for the opposite and are powerful works because of it.

It's not like we can't have both. If we went by your logic, horror genre couldn't exist. In the end, writing is about fulfiling a fantasy of the author or the reader, no matter how dark that fantasy might be.

Shit, I'd be pissed too if I unironically kept taking the bait after "I've played a game or two in my day" and didn't notice
Would be embarrassing as fuck if it was the trollface that finally got them, he was going for a while

Tolkien started writing books after WW1.

It's their reaction to idealistic depictions in stories. Martin wouldn't have written his book the way he did if Tolkien hadn't made him feel bad about himself and his worldview. Funding anyone with aspirations to show humanity to be anything higher than meat and shit is a no go.

Game of Thrones is entertainment while Lord of the Rings is the original autistic worldbuilding project. GoT was never meant to be disgusting, that's only the lens you view it through because you're more pure than the average normalfag in at least some respects.
Consider pics related. Both games are good, and if one is better it's because of personal taste rather than one aesthetic being inherently better.

Martin outright admitted that he wrote SoIaF as a reaction to Tolkien though. He wanted characters who shit and fucked because he cares a lot about those subjects.

Plato was all about Idealism, Aristotle was all about Realism. Both were Greek. The key difference is that Plato believed the form existed in a metaphysical realm before its instantiation, whereas Aristotle believed in in the ideal in concept but that it only took form in each individual instantiation.

the age of control is not only not over, but we're entering a new age of disinfo. between the societal destruction of objectivity, total corruption of academia, endless balkanization of identities and groups, increasing centralization of internet, and the rise of AI, things are looking pretty bleak from where i'm sitting. the populace is completely unprepared to defend their minds from corruption.

I'm reasonably sure he began the first drafts of his mythology during WW1. He certainly drew inspiration from his war experiences.


I always laugh at Martin boasting how we don't know Aragon's tax policy, like anyone in their right mind gives a flying fuck. If that fat sack of shit spent less time navel gazing maybe he would have finished his abortion of a franchise by now.

Same shit with Joe Abercrombie and whatever the name of that fuck who wrote about that preacher dude from a secret sect looking for his escaped father. Feces, profanity, a cast of hateful, petty subhumans with not a redeeming trait to them, whores and gratuitous descriptions of nasty sex.


You have to be brain damaged to be entertained. I've talked to people that skipped virtually all the Dany chapters in the past few books because they are so fucking boring and uninteresting. I remember doing the same back in the day.

It's a product of modern Western "culture", of course it is disgusting by design. What hole have you been living under?

No, fuck you, both games do the same thing, they entertain you by giving you what you want. Did you read Roadside Picking or watched Stalker? Do you want to explore the Zone and go on exciting and scary adventures? Then STALKER is the game for you.

What the fuck does ASoIaF offer? A cast of retards and cunts doing petty shit against each other?


Martin is as pure a golem as there could be.

I never said Game of Thrones was good.
GRRM is brain damaged.

Too many people here are confusing idealism with hot bods. Consider the Parthenon is also representative of the Platonic ideal. It's proportions are not exactly square, it's built slightly off so that from certain angels it looks more "perfect" and actual mathematical precision.

Consider a circle that is perfect- no matter how carefully you would draw it, if you magnified enough, in reality there would be a flaw. But you understand what I mean by "a perfect circle." Not the band, don't be the retard making that joke. The Platonic ideal then, there exists an impossible "perfect" you can strive to create.

Games could fit within this thinking in a couple ways.

1. Trying to create Platonic perfect, refined examples of a genre. I.e. what is the perfect platformer? Style, art, music, story, whatever, only enter the picture to accomplish the goal. You try to work out your answer and then assess how successful it is in the completion. If this sounds obvious or vague, imagine this taking place in a society that valued this ideal and there would be intellectual discussion of what it means. Your work couldn't and wouldn't be the answer, obviously. Also consider how many devs are trying to make films or influence politics or sell addictive microtransactions and gameplay is a tertiary concern.

2. Create games that in narrative or game play repeat or support notions of idealism. Like read Iliad or Odyssey as an example- Homer was part of that culture and it's values are expressed in the entertaining stories he tells. For a more modern example, I'd say Tolstoy. His novels discuss larger philosophical concepts and ideals through the complicated reality of his characters' lives.

I guess I misunderstood you user, what I tried to say is that shock and disgust can also be entertaining in their own right. The whole point of macabre is that it's supposed to shock, disgust and terrify the viewers, but even that is fulfilment of a fantasy. After all, many people come to horror because of one of three fantasies that they want to fulfil:

Which is fulfiled by putting themselves in the place of a victim of the horror story, in which they have to evade constant danger and fight for survival.
Which is fulfiled by putting themselves in the place of the monster.
Which is fulfiled by just interacting with the darker parts of life.

The point is though that modern writing doesn't do any of this good and uses disgusting imagery as shock value, instead of using the shock value to entertain the viewer.

You make it sound like soft porn is everywhere in Martin's books and it isn't. There are pretty few sex scenes and they rarely ever take up more than a partial page. I've read all the books (the story starts coming apart the longer this fag keeps writing).
Now HBO on the other hand loves to fucking throw blatant gratuitous nudity in every episode they can. They try to throw a coat of "it's tastefully done" over it but it happens so often that even when it would be appropriate and the story actually calls for it, you still can't help but think "man (((someone))) really wants to show sex."

Japan is the last place in the world that cares about aesthetics. I just wish they put out a good fucking game, I don't care if every character is beautiful if it plays like the newest electronic arts garbage.

"Robin Hobb" isn't much better. Keep misreading it as "Robin Hoob" like a sad caricature of Robin Hood.

Good post, user. That's an interesting way of looking at it.

Ha ha ha… are you serious m8.
The opposite is true.

Do the batman games count? Nearly everyone and their mother has "PEAK HUMAN STRENGTH/AGILITY/PHYSICAL CONDITION" in their bio.

No but you could replace the sound effects with more basic ones and the game would still be fun. Everything after that just set a tone.

Ever watch a silent film?
It's the only one that makes it a game so yea it kinda is. The larger your game the more you would need probably.
Tell that to older games like Tetris or brick breakers.

Also you faggots are tripping over yourselves for nothing. Gameplay in games are like sandwiches without the bread. You take out the bread it's no longer a sandwich. You take out the gameplay it's no longer a game. Still doesn't mean I want a sandwich with 2 pieces of bread and mayo. Objectively the only important thing in a game is the gameplay but the added effects make up the tone and occasionally play into the gameplay. Still doesn't make said effects necessary depending on the game. I could still play Doom without as good sound design. But I couldn't play it if it weren't a game.

Aesthetics are part of gameplay, faggot. Doom could still be a game internally and display a blank screen with no audio to the player, but you need some sort of feedback from the program to tell what you're doing.

Aesthetics can be in service of gameplay experience, or the embellishment of graphics and sound can be a motivating distraction from gameplay. Related to my earlier post, idealism would be a creative objective to focus on, not myopically cutting everything related to the other arts or disciplines.

Yes, a film technically can be silent, but Kubrick knew when music would elevate a scene. Or music can be a shitty substitute for a film's inability to create real emotion (melody drama -> melodrama.)


Compared to where? From what I've seen, random street vendors in Japan have more sense of craft and discipline than most American artists.

Yes but they aren't necessary.
The only feedback you need are the necessary ones. If a sound is a necessary thing that's needed then it's a more convoluted game. Not saying the game is made better without effects but the game is still a game in the end.

That's my point, ELEVATING. Not necessary. So basically you agree with what I'm saying. The sound effects in doom are good. But they aren't necessary to its integral mechanics. You could replace them with simpler noises and they would still be effective.

If you took the music out of the opening of the Shining, it'd just be a long ass helicopter shot of some pretty woods. The music was in service to the filmmaking and cannot be subtracted. This is the distinction between the masters and everyone else's choices.

Your statement about Doom is probably true- many people likely played shitty ports where that is the case. But look at a game like Thief that employs sound to gameplay purposes.

If you were to make an "ideal" game, it would require the aesthetic element, just focused to objectives related to gamplay or immersing the player. Just like sound in films enables dialogue and music and opens a new world for filmmaking itself to expand into. Sure, gameplay and film are mediums separate from the other arts they can utilize. That doesn't mean those other ingredients can't be crucial additions.

Aethestics are necessary if you want your game to be playable by humans, see

And again it would still be a movie.
Says who?
Does Pong have aesthetics? Is the sound of the boinking between panels necessary for the game to still be a game? You act like my statement implies that games shouldn't have aesthetic qualities or something.

I did see it and the fags wrong. Aesthetics aren't integral unless you're the kind of dipshit who thinks everything is art, which is to say that EVERYTHING is aesthetics. Aesthetics serve a tone but they are not required in a video game. Unless you're so much of a faggot that you think gameplay is also aesthetics which is where I point and laugh at you.

There's a text game about romancing one

Assuming I know what you're talking about that game is shit.
