There's not a lot of genres I don't play, but the few I can think of is MOBAs, MMOs and tactical RPG's, which are really just subgenres of RPGs or RTSs. I guess I just like more traditional styles of RPGs and RTSs, like Final Fantasy and C&C.

Fighting. I have tried, just can't get what these games are about and how to get better at them. I don't understand the pace in which you should be pressing the buttons. I think I'd need to have someone explain to me how to play these games, cause I can't figure them out.


They demand a lot of time and devotion to get the hang of their mechanics for sure.Maybe you could try a simpler one first like the Smash bros series.With some friends I'm sure you will love it.Fighting games in general are always better enjoyed with friends.


I have SSBB and it's quite ok, probably my favourite fighter, but I am sure I won't buy the next Smash. I didn't like it that much to spend more money into it. I really think I'd need someone to spend some time explaining to me the whole pacing, etc. I just don't find pressing random buttons any fun, but can't really get above the level of some simple 3-4 button combos.

The series focus more on keeping you on your toes and make you learn the stages and your opponents than on a given moveset.Have you tried the multiplayer?It's quite chaotic in a good manner.

When talking about moveset I meant other games. Smash is simple and yes, I've played mp. It's an ok, funny game to play with friends on the coach, but I'm happy I've only paid 15 Euro for it.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

It has a huge amount of content and unlockables so I'm sure that it's worth much more than that.I'm not that much into fighters too but I loved this one.What other fighting series have you tried?



Never really got into either sports games or racing. But there are more people I know with varied gaming tastes who are into racing games than sports games; the latter is usually the preserve of more casual gamers.

Hate racing games so boring



Sports and MOBAs.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

For the most part:

Fps, tps, sports, racing

Probably RTS, TBS and TRPGs. I just get depressed when I watch footage of them...


Yes i find them difficult for my eyes too.It's hard to see so many people are addicted to them.

Personally RTS is my favourite genre and i think its because of the large scale combat combined with an increased sense of accomplishment once you win cause by longer matches than most titles.  Ill agree that it isnt really friendly for newcomers to the genre but once your in you get hooked.  Oddly enough i really dont like mobas even though they share some similarities.  I guess it is because that only revolves around micromanagement on a single character.  You guys should definitely try out one of the company of heroes games.  It has the classic elements of base building and the rock paper scissors strength weaknesses,   but also has fresh mechanics of units not always hitting the target, amd destructible envieroments which creates dynamic cover.  This creates matches where luck also comes into play.  To top it off they both have excellent campaigns and the first one is pretty cheap on steam by now. Next up move on to the total war franchise.  It has a world map where you control an entire nation with everything from diplomacy to taxes to millitary research.  It might seem overwhelming but they are surprisingly streamlined for what it offers.  The best part is that once you enter battle you can play with litterally over 10.000 troops at a time..  Lastly aftwr you are aquainted with both of these you should try out hearts of iron 3. Consider it a very deep ww2 simulator where you can control any country in the world from 1936 till 1948 in an attempt to change history. In this game you need to manage pretty much every facet a leader would have to manage.  Infrastructure, production,  trade,  politics,  diplomacy,  spies, supply networks,  population happiness and their support to continue the war and so much more.  All the while the war progresses. Will you control japan and finally be able to conquer china?  Play as finland to repel the soviet winter invasion?   go for world domination as the germans? Perhaps youll play as the british and help france put down germany as soon as they began mobilizing for war to make a quick end to it.  Maybe you will invade the US as germany once you managed to make all of europe bow down before you..  What makes this great is the ability to change history



FPS. I don't understand why so many people seems to like it.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
