>4X games on this genre map can be neither turn based nor real time strategy
lolwut
TBS/RTS covers almost all of 4X; the only exception are hybrids like total war that have turn based overworlds and real time battle maps

This map is a mess in general
>>
TBS
>Advance Warsu, XCOM
MOBAs
>>
Strategy.
Fighters, Racing, Sports.
>>
Puzzle games
Daughter-raising simulators, but there aren't many of them to make a separate genre
>>
>>321510510
Fucking love rhythm games, don't care much for RTS at all.
>>
Everything in the RPG circle except for MMOs. Never could get into em. I play alone.

>being unable to get into the sports genre
It's not your fault, EA ruined 90% of the genre ages ago. I just go outside when I want to sportball

RPG, P&C Adventure, Puzzle
MOBA, RTS, Fighters

4x

2 things
1. play to the late game of civ V, it's the only time it's interesting
2. the 4X genre on a whole should not be judged on the merits of civ V, Civ V is pretty trash even with all expansions. It just appeals to a broader range of autists than the average 4X game
>>
>>321510832
I take it you didn't notice 4X overlaps both of those categories?

I think he's saying that there are not really 4X that AREN'T TBS/RTS. So the area covered by neither is goofy.
>>
The only genres I can't really get into are them map-painting games, and "realistic" simulators
>>
> Favoirite
3D Platformers/Platformer hybrids

Games where moving around and exploring is a focus, with good level variety and a few mini-games/boss fights. Other gimmicks are good for variety (eg light RPG mechanics or driving)

Stuff like Crash, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper.


> Can't get into
MMOs, anything that is intrinsically online and dependant on other people has always been off-putting for me because the thought that one day the game might be useless triggers my anxiety.
>>
Platformers
MOBAs, competitive FPS
>>
Strategy
Games that require friends
>>
>>321510510
Where the fuck are my arcade-style games?
>>
>>321510510
>Tactical shooter: medal of honor
wut
>>
Platformers are my favorite.
Can't get into RTS games.
>>
Strategy and/or simulation...

JRPG (except for Mario ones) and MMORPG
