You hate Final Fantasy?

Please, use "non-traditional" nor "casual".

 


I'm assuming you meant "not", not "nor" right?  Cause then what would I use?

Please use "or", not "nor".

 No, being a mainstream game does not equate to being a casual game. A casual game is defined by the content within the game itself. Here are some examples: Zelda and Metal Gear are both mainstrem franshises. However, calling those games casual would be inaccurate. Casual is a genre itself, not just any mainsteam game.

Racing, Music and Sports games are my least favorite.

Casual means mainstream because most people don't play video games. Playing video games is NOT the "casual" thing to do. Final Fantasy IS casual because it's very mainstream. It's casual. MH and DQ are casual too (in Japan at least).

Edit: There's a difference between non-traditional (meaning those that haven't played games) and casual (the mainstream thing). But they are both the same in this case. If most people played video games then it wouldn't be casual.


 The term "Casual" is used to define a style of gameplay; therefore, it's a genre itself. Mainstream has a different meaning all together. A mainstream game is based on how well it sells, whereas a casual game is based on content within the game and how it plays. World Of Warcraft, for instance, is anything but casual. However, the game is a mainstream game, as it has sold over 9m units. It it ridiculous and even fallacious to call a game casual based on sells alone.

Least would have to be FPS on consoles even though I still play them a lot, FPS is my second favorite on PC though next to RTS. I also don't like many beat em up type games, unless it's old school Ninja Turtles.

EDIT: I HATE SPORTS GAMES TO DEATH GO PICK UP A BALL AND JUST PLAY THE STUPID GAME!

I was going to say FPS, but then there's Portal and Metroid Prime 3...

then I was going to say Fighting games, but there's Super Smash Bros Melee & Brawl

then I was going to say Racing games, but then there's Mario Kart and Excite Truck.

Maybe sports games, but now that companies are starting to use the Wii's motion controls, I'm kinda more receptive towards them.

It's really weird, but a lot of the genre's that I used to really hate have recently seemed to open up with games that I've actually really enjoyed. A lot of this I can really only attribute to the spin that Nintendo puts on each of these Genres and the capabilities that the Wiimote adds to these games as well.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
