| John2290 said: One of the core genres of gaming simply because of its mechanics and limiting tech, one that was part of every gamers library at one point, the racer. Discounting cart games, are racings games now considered part of the sports genre? With a nice sales bumb on the casual side, a valley between and another bump on the fanatics side. Would you still consider them as central as an FPS, platformer, TPS or are they now niche in your eyes? |
I don't consider FPS as central or essential to a gaming library. In the last 2 generations (7th and 8th) I've never paid money for a FPS. I received one as a gift and got Bioshock infinite because it was free on PSN+.
OT. I have also never seen racing games as essential to one's library, even though I have enjoyed a few over the years. My last non-kart racing game was on PS2, Burnout Paradise.
