I don't really see the need for anything to die off. Nobody is forcing you to play any game. Saying you want an entire genre to die off is some stupid stuff.

Hmm last I checked Twisted Metal was a highly successful franchise that is added to that list of games you enjoy with your friends on local mp as well as online. As a matter of fact they are planning on bringing the franchise back as it originally sold well. so yes, the combat cars do work...well mainly twisted metal series.

JRPG's: Because they are mostly stupid emo shit.
Car Combat: Car combat games just don't work. See twisted metal and full auto.
mini game genre: pretty much because it's destroying the industry.

Seriously, do you need to refer to a gaming genre with those words? You may not like it, but that isn't the right attitude.

Would you enjoy people calling RTS something similar?

People can say whatever they want, it's an opinion thread.

It's not like I'm insulting your family. Seriously people, lighten up. Too many constipated people in here.

You do know there are rules in here right?

That's okay then, you feel as if you done nothing wrong. Hope you don't get the other end of the stick someday, I would love to see your reaction.

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.

It's not the games fault that you have no friends to play with. ;/

Yeah okay Mr. Big tough internet guy.

Comments like "Oh I wish Treyarch would die. Infinity Ward owns them" is highly distasteful. I personally don't like IW and Activision's cash-in off of MW2 (I prefer MW1 and KZ2 by far), but I understand that each company has several PEOPLE working for it and in this hard time with the economy I wouldn't want to wish for anyone to lose their job and make life even harder for their families. I also don't like M$ forcing Bungie to make Halo after Halo after Halo, but again, lots of people that need the jobs, and despite being a Sony fan, M$'s existence is good for competition, or else Sony and Nintendo's quality of games wouldn't be pushing the envelope.

Well I see your point, and its not that I think Treyarch is a bad developer; its just they will always be in the shadow of IW. The real problem I have is they have no original ideas, they stick with what they know; which is WWII and they take a few ideas from Infinity Ward and that's about it. I would gain a ton of respect for them if they make the next Call of Duty a new setting like Vietnam/Korea or maybe 20 years in the future.
