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.
I want more combat oriented flight sims. Ace Combat is one example, but sadly, there aren't that many more to pick from these days (w/o going retro, anyway).
There is also a notable lack of Mech games. Point to Gundam all you want, but I've always been a MechWarrior fan from childhood, and it's a travesty that Piranha Games Interactive still holds the exclusive rights after how they handled MechWarrior: Online. I went through the trouble of installing MechWarrior 3 on my modern computer again, workarounds and all, and it pains me that we'll never see a well needed remaster of the first 4 games (especially 3) because of legal limbo.
I also want a space sim, but of a particular type. To see what I mean, look no further than Derek Smart's Battlecruiser 3000 A.D., a game infamous for its bugs. If Derek Smart weren't such a thin skinned, egotistical, argumentative ass, then MAYBE, just maybe, we could have gotten a space sim that was truly advanced for its time. Instead, we got a game whose features are barely working, with frequent crashes and save corruptions, lacking in any sort of polish. If someone with the GamerGate Time Machine TM could get their hands on a version of BC3K, that lacking all else, had no crashes and save game corruptions, that would be nice.
Finally, I want to see more RTS-FPS hybrid games. One example I can think of is Battlezone 1998.
Man there are not alot of those, you got the Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War Which they atleast released free for all when the company went under, its ok not the best.
Then you have more fps focused such as Savage: The Battle for Newerth and its sequel and Natural Selection 2
it is shame that Command & Conquer: Renegade never got a more RTS Mode.
You got the early access Silica (altough I think its is way too rough atm)
Would love to see RTS/FPS in more large scale scifi, aka mechwarrior or planetary annihilation
