Forums - Gaming Discussion - Genres you wish would just die off

oh and RPG's no reason, i just hate them lol




Around the Network

I don't really understand how someone who calls himself a gamer can actually want a gaming genre to die, just because they don't like it.

What about the other thousand or million gamers in this world who actually enjoy something different from you? Oh that's right, only "my opinion" counts, sorry about that :)

Personally I think that all genres should stay, but I would like to see more platformers, I really miss the golden age of platforming, the SNES/Genesis era :)

FPS games. so fukkin overrated, same shit in every game, most of them arent worth full price purchase




 

 

                     

Sports and Music games :)

That is if I would really have to choose.



Badass games. There are few things more calculated and focus group derived than a game that basses itself on being badass.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

1. (tie) traditional JRPGs. Boring.as.hell.

1. (tie) FPS. I admit to being biased because many of them make me motion-sick, but most of these seem to be the same game again and again with different graphics.

Why would you want genres to die, when theres many people who enjoy them? OP is just a typical FPS xbox-gamer who can't play other games than mindless space marine fests.

Hoping for platformers to die is blasphemy, it's the genre that has the most potential when adding role-play elements.

Why would any genre need to die off in the first place? It's the same as with movies or music, if you don't like the genre just don't watch it, listen it or play it. Simple as that!

Because those genres take resources from developers who might make games which I would like.

If anything Platformers and Minigames are probably the 2 most profitable genres. Especially minigames, they don't cost much to make and bring in tons of money. If anything they bring in money for your resource hungry genres.



1. JRPG's - They are super boring. WRPG's like Fallout, Fable, Oblivion, etc are great though.

2. Music games - Is there any difference between Guitar Hero 5 and Guitar Hero besides the track list and adding drums (which they copied off of rock band)???

3. Fighting games - They were fun in the 80's and 90's but come on; Street Fighter 4 sucked ass! Face it, fighting games aren't what they used to be. They were fun in arcades but not at home, especially if your just playing single player because your friends can't come over.

4. Party games - Do I even need to explain this?

5. Exercise games - Seriously this genre is a joke. I'm pretty sure you burn more calories jogging outside then you do doing weird stretches and movements on some balance board that costs like $100. Now I'm not dissing the Wii, I'm dissing the exercise genre.


Oh and I wish Treyarch would die. Infinity Ward owns them.
