First of all I am sorry if I have upset you and second that is not what I said. If the Japanese version is of much higher 'quality' then I can understand liking that over an English version, what annoys (but not angers) me is the idea that people who don't understand Japanese feel they can say...

Music is a universal language, Japanese isn't - you don't need subtitles to enjoy music from another country. All I am saying is that I think more is lost in subtitles than in dubs, at least in dubs an effort has been made to re-interpret things that you would normally have to understand the...

I agree that often dubs can be done very poorly and that a good dub relies on strong understanding of both languages involved and the dialogue, but if it is done well then I can see no reason to choose a sub. Your gripe about syllables is indeed a challenge faced by the people doing the dub but...

You must be hungry :)

But Subs are translations? the fact you are using subs means you don't understand the language. You are making my point - if you don't undertand the language then what is the point? You are quite right in dubs things are changed and replaced but into different things that have a similar effect...

In this topic I am talking specially about animated shows/movies. Personally I have always been irritated by those who say they always prefer seeing programs in their original language when they do not speak it. Doing so means they are missing out on the subtleties and nuances of the dialogue -...

I think there is a lot of truth in that, Video-games are yet to evolve significantly due to their primary audience and how society sees them, suggesting perhaps that as the generations move on video-games will undergo more changes and become more valuable as an art form?

But that's the thing: Movies/videos = Art Games/sports = Not Art Video-Games = ???

Careful there, are you really saying that video games tell stories and give messages better than novels? I'd say the combination of video and game is a remarkable form of entertainment that gives birth to numerous possibilities, storytelling and artistic messages being among them but I wouldn't...

Yahtzee takes the Oscar Wilde point of veiw meaing that which doesn't have a purpose is art, games are art in the same way as a book or a film, they have no real purpose other than to entertain us, they are pointless. He says this in numerous videos.

Skipped my bit about the distinction between games and video-games then?

I don't mean to sound pretentious by asking this but I do think this it is an important question and I would be very interested to know what you as gamers think. Do you agree with Yahtzee who says games are art? Or do you think that storytelling should be left to books and movies and that games...
