Trash talk is for stressful situations and competitions, not building a community. You can take that other person down off their peg without resorting to insulting his or her parental lineage and/or their level of adherence to stereotypical gender roles.

Sounds to me like some people are a little bit too sensitive about this random internet fad.

this. quit with the bitterness, guys, if you're truly that uninterested in this fad just let it blow over. there's no stopping it, and i'm sure the next big thing it'll be cool to hate is already on the horizon anyway. :/

d'aww, it's so cute when you pretend like i don't know what you're up to :O

that said, fans are fans are fans. we as a group are no more 'open-minded' or whatever than fans of anything else out there. Just play what you like, don't get wrapped up in labels. :3

Four pages' worth of comments and only a handful actually worth anything to the OP. Congratulations, all, you truly outdid yourselves tonight. Do it again and some of you may wind up banned for your trouble.

@fzerofan: I'm sorry your Wii U was stolen. I hope you've filed a police report, I'm afraid that's the only way Nintendo will work with you to restore your eShop account and purchased games. Other than that, I think ShadJV has a good idea to try contacting your insurance company to see if they cover items stolen from your car (they also may require a police report, though it doesn't hurt to ask). Good luck to you!

Please don't spam our forums or encourage others to do so. For your idea to work, people would need to contact Nintendo directly, which may be done via e-mail here and by calling their customer service hotline at 1-800-255-3700 (Nintendo of America), or via the information found here if it's Nintendo of Europe you're after. Good luck!

I think that arguing something as subjective as "what constitutes as art" is kinda pointless, due to it, you know, being subjective?

pretty much. the answer would differ greatly from person to person. you may as well ask whether someone would consider a series of given sounds 'music' or a collection of random words 'poetry' or 'literature'.

Saying that games are not art is incorrect. It doesn't matter if it's Miyamoto, Obama or Jesus Himself who says it; they're incorrect.

By that same token, saying that games are art is also incorrect.

I also think none of these posts are going to reason with change @Chrono_Cross' opinions.

Honestly, if a dude like Miyamoto, who makes games that often go beyond the lines of awesome, thinks his work isn't art, then I'd pay to see what he considers "art."

Wait, what was Chrono's opinion anyway?

Exactly! :|

Why was this thread made again?

Who cares? Either discuss the topic at hand or knock it off plz.

Not to restart the same old tail-chasing argument that usually happens whenever anyone gets wind of the words 'video games' and 'art' being used in the same sentence, but

(a) Art isn't really in the eye of the creator; one man's crap is another man's mindblowing statement about life, the universe, and everything
(b) It's in the nature of Japanese culture for people to be humble about their own work and allow others to praise it fully.

'Art' is too subjective a term, and if he doesn't want it applied to his games by his subordinates, that's his call to make, but he can't stop anyone else from saying (or awarding things) as they please. Either way, congratulations to him on the award~

@liavcol: eek, i'll be waiting for a review, then.

that's kinda the sad thing about some games — the premise may sound awesome, but in reality it's up in the air as to whether or not they'll be able to pull it off successfully D:

naah, i'd suggest they snap up some of the people behind Capcom's artwork for the Street Fighter characters. Some of them have ridiculous feet in the artwork for arcade machines and stuff, haha D:

i was trying to find an image to illustrate how ridiculously large the feet are in some SF artwork, but then i got bored and stumbled across this gif which i found amusing:

Which I believe is generally frowned upon by forum admins. Thread churn is a fact of life. Three threads on the front page with the same topic is usually a recipe for getting two closed and frankly when a thread is in double-digit pages it's probably time to let it rest...

My rule of thumb has always been whether or not the last post in a given thread was within six months of the duplicate. Both of the threads WingedFish linked to have been active within the past few months, therefore it's game on.

noticed the downloads go to your Memory card ..

so say you have the game and download the maps and then sell off your game.. in a few months you rebuy the game... would you still have the dlc or do you need to buy them again since it saves to your memory card and not the game itself

I know when I downloaded the DLC on my 3DS, my husband had to download the DLC onto his own — the game acted like it had had no DLC downloaded at all. I'd imagine that, once you re-buy the game in your situation, the game would behave as if you'd downloaded the DLC on one file and started a brand new game on an empty slot; the already-downloaded maps wouldn't be accessible until that one spot on the map opens up, but they'd be there for you to access as soon as it was available.
