Exactly what I was thinking... If they ever make another new badass-centric IP, I would hope that they would either try to lampoon the genre, make a realistic take on the bid to become a badass, or both... Just think, it would be called "Badass", and it would set you several tasks to complete "in the most badass way possible" such as protecting an old lady on her way home... It would berate you for unnecessary killing, wanton destruction, failing your mission, and getting yourself killed/raped/maimed... Basically all the things that out-of-touch adults and conventional geek wisdom would define as "badass"... At the end of your session, whether by getting killed, dying,  or saving and quitting, it shows you a result screen and evaluates your progress... It shows you what you did in that session, asks you questions, gives you responses and then shows your character in a cutscene in which he/she is in the park checking out this "magic scale" which measures your badassery... It shows your score and then your response to it... If you die, you have to start over with a new character; if you save and quit (depending on the well being of your character), when you check your file, you'll either be in a hospital bed or in your own room, which will be decorated based on where you are in your progress; if you're in the hospital, you can't do anything until you are either medically cleared to continue (in which case, it shows you being driven home where you start in your room, albeit with a doctor's order not to do anything too strenuous for "x amount of time") or dead (in which case, it shows your funeral in a cutscene, and starts you over with a new character)... Everything is saved to record, albeit a passive record as far as deaths go, and there would also be an online/offline multiplayer mode, which gives multiple players the same mission and they could either fight over who completes it, cooperate and complete it together, pick up the scraps from the felled competitors and complete it, or even (if vicious/desperate to protect their place on the leaderboard) do something that would prevent it from being able to be completed...

I just checked MRFENIX 360 game collection.

God it is terrible in my opinion. Just counted games on his list that are ok or better. I ended up with like 3.

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.

That's a great point.  I cannot help but agree.

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?  

Oh i forgot i would not want a genre to die. But the is a few i would like to slow down a tad. ok maybe just one.


FPS. Why is the so many. to every good game that comes out we get like 3-4 shit ones

It must be fun to have such a narrow world view. I bet it makes everything VERY simple and easy.

I as well am fine with Duke Nukem and other satirically gorey games as well. 

I kind of see Stof's point. While I really enjoy God of War I found Kratos's behavior extremely ridiculous at times for the sake of being "awesome" and unlike MadWorld or No More Heroes the gore isn't trying to be comical it's trying to be serious, which is kinda silly. I thought the same of Gears of War, but since I hated the gameplay in that I never managed to finish it unlike God of War. 

That said, I am guessing in Stof's head he is taking this way too far to include any violent action game or shooter that isn't satirical like Halo, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, InFamous, Mass Effect, etc. which is a mistake. While they are built around a specific "cool" style and a certain degree of momentum and action, they don't aim for some specific amount of gore or a meathead murderer main character.

Also, despite my distaste for the styles of Gears of War and other similar "look at how awesomely gorey this is" types of games, I do not think they should die. As long as someone enjoys any genre I hope it's always present for those people to play it. After all even if all those games are targeted at teenage boys they have just as much rights to play what they enjoy as children, adults, and women. 

All of them.

The only game ever worth mentioning is Jak III.... and that game was not bound by genres.

hahhaa worst thread idea i have ever scene on here!

and OP i love platformers! so no they should not die off at all, i guess you are into no brainer FPS TPS games....COD anyone? ay?
