RTS games nowadays have shifted more towards Grand Strategy/Mobas and the genre is a little barren so I can't rightfully call it my favourite genre anymore.

>Shooter

Ever since DOOM came out I've been getting back into shooters in a big way. The multiplayer for it wasn't that good, but I found out I'm the top player every fucking game.
So I've also tried Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, even played some Halo on my old 360. I win all challenges.
Except Insurgency. I fucking SUCK at Insurgency. I have a bad case of killing machine syndrome, I can't into being careful and making wise tactical choices. I need to be able to rush around and dodge shit, not wait behind a corner and play a psychological game with the dude that knows I'm there.
I'd probably be supremely good at Quake too, that's what I'm trying next.
I used to just be into old style RPG's like Morrowind or RPG Maker shit like Off, 7th Stand User, Space Funeral, etc, but right now I'm drowning in a need for visceral action.

Why does almost everyone distinct by WRPG/JRPG instead of CRPG/SRPG/TRPG/ARPG etc? It's not like all JRPGs are by definition SRPGs/TRPGs, or all WRPGs are by definition ARPGs/CRPGs.
Seems kinda vague to me desu.

Yeah, the more things change, they stay the same. Really, Fighting has been my fav Genera for about 18 years going at this point. Before that? I think 2D platformers, but I was so young I barely remember.

I don't watch any sort of media having to do with vidya, so I don't know what you're referencing. However, why can't FF be a genre term in the same way Lovecraft is? Each game features mythological/elemental summons, a ragtag group of misfit heroes, an antagonist with a god complex, etc. Perhaps atmosphere would have been a better term, but is still writing.

RPGs
Wasn't sure what my fav was for a long time. I think when I decided that I can like and dislike things (I was the remain neutral faggot in high school), I discovered that I really dig dungeon crawlers.
Looking forward to EO5, closest I'm probably gonna get to another Wizardry game.

I'm the second guy and don't get exactly what the first meant. You can call a book lovecraftian because if it is the case, then it borrows a lot from the original author, if you tell me a game is Final fantasy, at best I know it probably has chocobos, moggles, Cid and thundaga. You got all those spin-offs of multiple genres, many which don't have the idea of the plot the main games do.
When you use a game to reference a genre it should refer to its gameplay, like Metroidvania (stupid name but gets the point across) or roguelike, not story elements that are not even present in some that originated the term.
>>341793972

>>341804156
Features. A tenuous justification at that. Action, adventure, RTS, beat em up - gameplay genres refer to pacing and presentation, not specific subject matter and features.

No specific genre just Half Life mods. Gaming is dead to me now.
I'm 28 and therefore the past 5-10 years have felt like no time at all.
Although I know it's factually false, the sentence "2006 was only a year ago" doesn't feel wrong.
