I am surprised this wasn’t ported to PC.

Totally, considering that Fable 1 and 3 got one (though i hear Fable 3’s was horrendous and later delisted from steam)

I could not get fable 2 to launch at all on xenia on Arch. I didn’tolk further into it yet though, honestly I’m not sure if I can get any game to launch

I had an issue a few years ago where Xenia itself just would not work on SteamOS 3 (which is Arch Based IRC). I think i had to fix it by going into the Launch script that Emu Deck made and telling it to use a different version of Proton

Is disco Elysium the one with all the talking? Like multiple books worth of text? No thanks

Btw how is RDR2 not on the list?

Disco Elysium is definitely closer to the visual novel spectrum of video games than it is to something like Tetris. But make no mistakes, its narrative and impact would be much lessened were it delivered in any other medium. It is absolutely a perfect example of how you use video games to make art.

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

My biggest issue is I game late at night when everyone else is in bed, so a game like that would knock me out

Krauerking,

How do you even begin to care about anything in that game when you are basically mashing buttons for hours and just listening to people complain about how shit life is?

I get its an art piece of living the existence you are thrown into but it feels like a confusing mess even gameplay wise for the starting hours that people that have finished it I feel miss how unfun it is at first.

I didn’t even know why I was now stuck on the other side of a wall in a union dispute and I just couldn’t be bothered to restart the game to try something else after how long it took to get dressed the first time.

The game is not for everyone. That’s okay. Rothko paintings are worth tens of millions of dollars and I completely do not get them at all.

I will give you that there are two soft locks early on that are a little too easy to stumble into and it is for sure the game’s biggest flaw.

What’s left of edith finch.

Such an amazing game. Absolute masterpiece.

TheOakTree,

This is the game I used to convince my film nerd friends that games can be art too. They really enjoyed playing through it!

weirdbeardgame, do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

The Spyro the dragon trilogy for me is just an absolute masterpiece.

Final Fantasy VII, IX and X are three master pieces

Metroid prime and fusion

Fatal Frame trilogy on the PlayStation 2, Forbidden Siren, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2 are amongst the best of the best

Krauerking,

I do think the Spyro games are probably the absolute best of the collect-a-thon genre. Joyful and fun and with fun puzzles. I am worried I am too biased to say it though since I have 120%/100%/117% beat the games multiple multiple multiple times.

weirdbeardgame,

Hey, you and me man xD

@2ugly2live@lemmy.world avatar

I think Bioshock 1, Inscryption, Portal 1 & 2(I believe that 2 wouldn’t be so loved if we didn’t already love 1, I like to think of them as a set), Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil, Nier Automata, and Okami.

mic_check_one_two,

Glad to see Okami mentioned here. It was poorly marketed, which basically killed the development company… But it was so good.

Some people have called it the best Zelda game never made, and I believe the description is accurate. It has all of the mechanics of Zelda’s puzzlebox dungeons. It’s just a different setting, and the “tools” to solve the puzzles are your brush abilities.

My only real complaint about the game is that it was long. Like every time I expected the game to be wrapping up, it would introduce an entirely new region. But that length also meant it was able to deliver a fully self-contained story that didn’t rely on cliffhangers (sequels) to finish. Sure there were some sequels, but the original story stands on its own without them.

Krauerking,

I always forget how absolutely awesome Escape From Butcher Bay is until I’m reminded of its existence and its shockingly unfair to that game.

dantheclamman,
@dantheclamman@lemmy.world avatar

I’d kill for a new Riddick game!

Krauerking,

I still think the series is actually the best Space Opera and I do mean opera. But they have some great stories.

I’d love another Riddick game too. I’ll settle for the 4th movie I guess for now

LeDoudou, do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

How come no one has mentioned “Life is strange” yet? Also, “A plague tale”.

mechoman444,

The intro to a plague tale… Jesus.

iAmTheTot, (edited ) do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

None. There’s no such thing as an objective master piece. Games are art which is, by definition, subjective.

Edited to add, well this was way more controversial than I thought it would be.

sugar_in_your_tea,

“Masterpiece” comes from the art world, and there are absolutely works everyone seems to agree qualify, such as:

  • The Mona Lisa
  • David statue
  • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

It’s usually the best work by an artist, or at least the one that got them their recognition, and it stands out among other works in the field.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

If it’s the one that got them their recognition, it’s little more than arbitrary; luck, place and time; things that don’t have to do with how good the work is. Some “masterpieces” weren’t considered such until they were exposed to people over and over again, like The Mona Lisa at the Louvre or It’s a Wonderful Life on TBS. I’d have a hard time calling a number of games masterpieces that I didn’t care for, because this isn’t objective.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

A masterpiece could just refer to a piece of art from a master. It could refer to the quality of an engineering project, or the skill involved in the work’s creation. Are these not objective qualities?

I don’t really think the Mona Lisa is a great image, personally (it’s a boring portrait), but I can still recognize that it was masterfully done.

Katana314,

This gets trickier with games, because an experienced game designer can, for instance, look at the UI design and graphics programming of a Ubisoft open world slopfest, and say those parts were masterfully done (even if the overall game isn’t so fun). And, even the best of video games have bits of them that weren’t as good.

Krauerking,

Right… So what game gets the most of those bits the most right?

That’s how you start to separate out the best. Not that complex.

    I think the word you are looking for is pedant.

    Better vocabulary will help get your point across better. Without also sounding like an edgy atheist teen.

    Krudler,

    It’s low-grade trolling, chill bro. They’re not serious.

    ms_lane,

    Games are not Art, they are Games.

    Videogames can also be art, but they are also games and ‘games’ (note: not ‘videogames’) are not art.

    rockerface, do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

    Out of recent ones, Blue Prince

    Krauerking,

    It’s such a good puzzle box but I don’t think I would call The Room, a masterpiece while it’s still yet another great puzzle box game.

    They are masterpieces in puzzles but maybe not games? I dunno why I don’t consider them.

    Krauerking, (edited ) do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

    So I think it’s actually really important that the games that would be considered objective masterpieces would have to overcome any language barriers and be an experience approachable by anyone. You can learn the mechanics to enjoy the gameplay without words
    So:

    • Portal
    • Journey
    • Binding of Isaac
    • Shadow of the Colossus
    • Metro 2033 (which I have sat on and I believe even if it was entirely in Russian you would still get it )
    • DOOM (original you don’t need words you shoot)
    • Super Mario Bros. 3
    • Katamari Damacy

    Then there are dialogue option stories that are fantastic stories that I could consider greats but shareable masterpieces is hard to say as they rely on you speaking the language both literally and then gameplay wise:

    • Stanley Parable
    • Outer Wilds
    • Tales From the Borderlands
    • To the Moon
    • Talos Principle
    • Golf Club Wasteland
    • Dead Space
    Mora, do gaming w Elden Ring Nightreign Review Thread

    Missing crossplay really sucks. I theoretically have an enthusiastic squad … too bad one player only has a PlayStation while me and the other person have PCs.

    chloyster,

    Yep it’s really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC… Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol

    Megaman_EXE,

    That seems like a massive oversight. That’s so weird. I get it’s probably way easier to implement it the way they did. But because you likely will wana group with friends, it really limits people

    Supergiant games’ holy trinity: Bastion, Transistor and Pyre.

    Also, the only Borderland games 1 and 2; don’t believe the lies there are no more true Borderlands games and no there most certainly is no movie.

    There’s also one other, but you’ll need a crowbar or a gravity gun in hand for me to tell you about it.

    inb4_FoundTheVegan,
    @inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

    Bastion and Transistor, sure. Without a doubt, imoactful clever stories that were well delivered.

    Pyre always felt like a buggy mess tho. I tried multiple times to get into it but it’s just not on the level of the first two.

    JackbyDev, (edited )

    Feels odd to include Pyre over Hades.

    Krauerking,

    You are wrong about borderlands as there is one more and it is pretty muc h perfect.

    Tales from the Borderlands.
    Shame they never made a sequel for it but the artistry, music and story are all so well crafted. Someone loved Borderlands making that.
