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.
Oh yeah I miss RTSs. In a world with any sense we'd be sat here enjoying homeworld 8 and raving about how immersive it is.
Vanquish style FPS, with proper speedy slide mechanics, which don't lend themselves to multiplayer whatsoever. Get me some proper bullet time again. I miss that.
Unironically, Party games. Like mario party, or fusion frenzy. Quick little things you can play with normie friends and family. Some had great mechanics and fun. And with that, mario-kart/crash team racing racer style games. They fill a similar niche, and have a similar role, while being that slight bit more involved. So do brawlers. But keep it casual. I don't need another bloody esport and 10,000 button combo lists.
mech games. Gun metal with its ability to play either in plane or mech mode with different load outs and individually weakened body parts was peak gaming. Even just titanfall 3. Bloody battle royales, wish apex were never a thing, or that they didnt neglect the titanfall 2 servers so hard for so long.
'god games', city builder/rts, but like black & white
