Support NeoGAF

[Tschumi]

The natives have so far attained Ray Tracing but they're doing it on a woeful number of TFLOPs, so they insist that they can only support one gaming genre.

I'll add any genres you request, just hold off on your vote until I add it i guess.

Yes Soulsborne is a joke i died ten MILLION times playing Max Payne 1 in 2001)

 

[Bullet Club]

What genre do the Fallout games go under? Because that's what I pick.

 

[fart town usa]

No Survival Horror option?

For shame....

 

[Tschumi]

Shit i knew i forgot one! fart town usa

Bullet Club wrpg?

 

[Gameplaylover]

Sandbox games like Hitman or No Man Sky.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Platformers aren't on the list, and I want something that includes Mario, Contra, Castlevania, Gunstar Heroes, etc.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Immersive Sims.

 

[cireza]

Roguelike : Shovel Knight ?

 

[Bullet Club]

Bullet Club wrpg?

Sounds good.

I suppose from F3 on they could probably go under FPS/RPG hybrid.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

No fighting games? Weak.

 

[Magic Carpet]

If Im stuck on an island with only sports games. Im taking my chances swimming with sharks to the next island over.

 

[Trogdor1123]

What genre do the Fallout games go under? Because that's what I pick.

I was thinking that too. Maybe a wrpg? Did I miss MMOs too? I'd want something with lots of storytelling possibilities tied to lots of gameplay variety.

[jaysius]

I'd take Snowrunner, that's not a choice, but that thing can keep you busy.

But I'd be too busy doing things like... you know surviving to play games.

 

[Tschumi]

FPR/RPG Hybrid and WRPG are neck and neck bro

 

[jshackles]

Gotta be JRPG. Most games in the genre are lengthy, and there is usually a ton of variety as well as side-quests, minigames, etc. If I was on a weird-ass desert island and could only play JRPGs the rest of my life, I'd still be a happy man.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Pervy game, though that would depend on how well i get along with the natives.

 

[kingpotato]

 

[MasterDerico]

Fighting game.
OP u missed Beat'em up and Hack'n slash...!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Gravity Rush is the only one game for me.

 

[Griffon]

What the fuck with that choice of sample games

 

[Ailynn]

It's not on the list, but I would definitely choose the Metroidvania genre.

(Metroid series, Castlevania SotN, Hollow Knight)

 

[StreetsofBeige]

COD COld War is Survival Horror?

I picked FPS.

 

[Rubicaant]

But, mmorpg...

 

[Tschumi]

COD COld War is Survival Horror?

I picked FPS.

So many mindless zombies running around insta-headshotting, eeeek!

It's not on the list, but I would definitely choose the Metroidvania genre.

Putting it in

Fighting game.

Putting em in

 

[TheMay30thMan]

Y no immersive sim?

 

[trikster40]

Horrible examples for action adventure. Why not put Last of Us, Uncharted. Control, Tomb Raider, etc. Change Conker to platformer and list Mario, etc

 

[Corgi1985]

raft building genre

 

[Plantoid]

Shit, I voted soulsborne and then I saw wrpg and that's my choice if I think about it..

 

[killatopak]

What genre is Neogaf?

 

[Tschumi]

Shit, I voted soulsborne and then I saw wrpg and that's my choice if I think about it..

u can change ur votes brah

What genre is Neogaf?

couldn't be more obvious... survival horror

Y no immersive sim?

PSA for anyone trying to think up obscure genres:

I ran outta poll slots lol so no more, i guess in this scenario the civilization on this island is only aware of a limited number of genres

Horrible examples for action adventure. Why not put Last of Us, Uncharted. Control, Tomb Raider, etc. Change Conker to platformer and list Mario, etc

they were deliberately troll'y/humorous examples

"give a man Civ 6 and he can desert island for a lifetime" - Gandhi

More like, it will take a lifetime to finish 1 round.

So that's perfect.

 

[Tschumi]

WTB one genre actually winning this bish

 

[Captain Toad]

I choose MMOs. The only reason I dont play them much is because I spent so much time on Final Fantasy XI and XIV, there wasn't time for all the other games. However, if I can't play them all anyway, give me MMOs.

Immersive Sims are obscure now?

 

[Aion002]

Soulsborne.

If Soulsborne is a choice, I will always pick it.

 

[Pejo]

Hunting games (Monster Hunter, God Eater, Toukiden, Freedom Wars). C'mon OP, you're missing some of the most endlessly replayable genres in gaming.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

WoW with a local private server. So MMORPG, just without the MMO-part.

Or Civilization (2 or 4).

According to the titles in the search I've done just now you could put most of them in other genres, "rpg/fps hybrid" etc... Prey, a Dark Messiah, EYE, System Shock 2, Vampire bloodlines, Pathologic, STALKER, BioShock, BioShock infinite, thief... I mean all of these titles can fit into other genres on the poll..

... I dunno i think i was implying that certain personalities came here not to select an option but to suggest one i hadn't thought of..

To be fair overnight i was annoyed to see i didn't have "3rd person rpg" like elder scrolls or dragon age, poop, but i guess people can make the stretch to call that wrpg or something because I've not heard any complaints on that one

 

[CitizenZ]

Visual Novel?

 

[YoshiMadness]

I chose action adventure because I saw Conker, so I guess you're lumping in 3D platformers as action adventure.

But seriously, why didn't you put platformers as an option? I see MetroidVania which is cool, but there are a lot of platformers that don't fit that description at all. And Shovel Knight as a roguelike? What in tarnation?! How is Shovel Knight a roguelike?

If platformer was an option, I'd have chosen that. Sorry to complain so much, I'm just salty.

I wasn't taking a shot at you in my first post. I was just sad not to see it. If I could only play one genres on an island, it would be a toss up between that and survival horror.

 

[Tschumi]

it's a joke about cheat engines

i guess my genre blind spots have been identified I dunno, I spent about 2 minutes writing out most of that poll and in the end I only had 3 or 4 slots for more genres so I guess it's set in stone

Fuck me, I thought JRPG had moved to the front with 6 votes but WRPG is lurking near the bottom of the table with a similar number, arrrgh NeoGAF is not picking a favourite genre! fuuuu
