Obviously we're all about stuff being non-woke here, but I think I'm right in identifying something of a sizeable niche for game genres that aren't normally explored in modern gaming anymore. If there are any they're either one title made in 2019 or something or they're woke as fuck which makes you realise just how shit the industry has been lately in simply getting stuff released.
My personal favourite genres in these categories as examples would be:
. Simulation games/City Builders
. RTS
. RPG/ARPGs
. Space Sim
What's remarkable is some of these aren't even all that difficult to code yet all I ever see for the most part are a never ending spam wave of woke walking simulators with context buttons. Extremely buggy early access survival city builders that never get finished, an occasional very woke RPG and then another neverending spam wave of hipster style 2D platformer games.
What are the sort of genres that you guys miss now I've explained my reasoning? I definitely miss proper simulation games the most with RTS' close behind. However I could go for a good RPG or space sim any day as long as it's not shit.
Fun basic FPS games. Think Quake or Doom 3. To hell with realism or advanced movement. I'm sure there's a ton but I never tire of them.
I sort of miss light-RTS games of old. Like Warcraft 3 type stuff and Civilization turn based games. Not the hyper competitive games now of how many clicks can a South Korean click if a South Korean could click a mouse.
Are you not looking at the insane output of quality "boomer shooters" lately?
I've picked up quite a few. I'll still take more haha
You mean doom 2016?
Yeah for all the praise eternal gets, they lost a lot of what makes it doom. 2016, the 3rd real doom game, was its peak.
I think doom 3 was actually a good game and idea, it just wasn't 'doom'. You can't make people wait 20 years for doom then give them a slow paced horror game. Doom 3 would have done well between doom 2016 and eternal, as some kind of 'side project'. Doom - descent or something, call it something out of sequence and let it be clear it's a horror game, as a general security guy not doom-guy. And it woulda been a hit.
I still like Doom 3. Don't care if it's not Doom enough or whatever, call it Dead Space -1 then. Doom 2016 was excellent too played it through a few times at least. I did not enjoy Doom Eternal and I really wanted to.
Definitely check out Prodeus, I love that game.
BPM is also very similar in Quake in many ways.
