Well yes, the story of Arthur goes back centuries, that’s where they got the idea from for the movie. It’s just that to me “Tainted Grail” sounded like something right up their alley.
I have fond memories of Hexen. But most of those are overridden by it being the unfortunate game where I finally realized that first person games make me motion sick.
“Oof, I don’t feel so hot. Let me keep playing to keep my mind off of it. Maybe a bite to eat. Back to the game, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m…” running to the bathroom and honking up everything I just ate and then some until I’m dry-heaving. I didn’t eat hot dogs for a good five years after that.
I think even in back 2012 an argument could be made quite easily, but it’s a shame Roger Ebert didn’t live long enough to see some of the games released over the past decade that quite convincingly demonstrate how video games can indeed be art.
I agreed with him very often but that was one instance of him having an inexplicably bad take.
