I think you're right |

Man is no starre, but a quick coal
of mortal fire:
Who blows it not, nor doth controll
a faint desire,
Let his own ashes choke his soul
Books are the way; all the way. |

Actually, if you are seeking to become a video game designer, or something in Multimedia, you are really into imagination more than you think. |

I think you missed his point nesgirl. I will agree, yes those that design the games have wonderful imaginations. However, those that play the games are "substituting" the designer's creativity for their own. As a result, they lose touch with their ability to create things, and as Howe said, just stare at the blank canvas. |

wow nesgirl...your ability to associate any topic with pokemon is amazing. But yes, video game designing is an entirely different matter, and it does take creativity, so I would agree with you on that. |

I beg to differ. A large amount of artistic appreciation is needed to fully appreciate a video game today. Level designs, story (especially for RPGs), and especially music are all things that are looked for in RPGs and a higher demand has increased over the years (the beeping noises of the Atari would not be accept for music today nor would a simple "save the princess" story in an RPG). Indeed, observing some of the landscapes and character designs in video games has inspired my current artistic works. I fail to see how witnessing what could be described as art could numb ones own creativity. When children are taken to an art museum my first concern isn't that they'll be attempted to "substitute the artists' creativity for their own". |

LunarMoon, I think your resemblance argument here is a failure. There is one giant thing you are overlooking. Music and painting, are not so interactive. You listen to it or view it, then it's done. Sure it might cause you to think, but not necessarily. Video games on the other hand, require quite a few hours of gameplay typically, to complete. A CD or a painting can be "consumed" in one sitting, without having to skip lunch. Video games give you tasks, objectives, things to do. Does a CD bark out instructions? Does a painting tell you what to do? No. |

My opinion is simply: i dont care about the other part of the youth anymore. Let them brainwash themselves. It is outstanding individuals with extreme talents such as music production, art, playing an instrument, singing... whatever it is that makes you a creative individual. I think you all have valid points...Now heres mine. |

I think that the extent of the corrosive properties of TV, computer and console games etc., completely depends on the person who is being subjected to it. |
|
I don't guess that anyone can define what art is for someone else. |

IMHO, if you can get your hands on a really good video game, you will find that it actually increases your imagination and creativity skill. Well designed video games are innovative and not repetitive. They challenge the player to find out new ways to beat the level. The latest games that are coming out have complex physics engines which can allow players to beat challenges in ways even the developers did not think of. multiple souloutions to problems give players freedom to express their creativity. |
