What genres do you like to play?

Adagio · May 11, 2002, 13:28

Just curious (Like always

) what game types you like to play.

I'm into TBS (Of course

), RTS, Tycoon Games and Classic Games

Sorry if I forgot some genres! I know some of these genres could go as one type of genre, e.g. like in classic games there's also strategy games, but there's still some difference, like somebody might only like the new strategy games. I hope you get the point!

first person shooter.....relieves SOOOOOO much stress. i'm not that great at it, but it's loads of fun. I want to try playing with people i hate and see if it makes me better since i'd like to kill them. lol!
what type of game is spyro? i really like that game too.

Adagio · May 11, 2002, 13:55

I have no idea, since I don't know the game!

For me first Person shooter is ok, but not for long time, and in SP they almost always suck, so I didn't vote for that one!

10 years ago it was mainly strategy games, but I don't play them that much anymore. The older I get the more I like FPS and "sport" games, like the THPS series.

Adagio · May 11, 2002, 15:44

How come only 50% here like TBS games...why the h*** is the other 50% here then?

Paul Go Gain · May 11, 2002, 16:22

TBS is so last century

moomin · May 11, 2002, 18:23

4x TBS. And X-COM too.

Rex Little · May 11, 2002, 19:02

TBS and RPG, almost entirely. I'll also play Hearts against the computer and Bridge online. I like RR Tycoon but never got into any of the other Tycoon games.

General Ludd · May 11, 2002, 19:06

My tastes are pretty broad, but I have yet to find a sports game I like. Not big on sim games either... but they aren't too bad.

That would be Platform. Good game.

I voted RPG and Sports.

no TBS? *shrugs* I only come here for the bananas.

Mr. President · May 11, 2002, 21:06

Yeah, platform games rock. Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and the like. Some fighting games are good too. I voted for TBS, RTS, Classic, Sports, and Role-Playing.

Urban Ranger · May 12, 2002, 01:56

Your game genre classification is messed up.

Triped · May 12, 2002, 02:28

RTS and FPS, although the quality of games in both genres have degenerated in the past few years...I'm hoping someone can make another Starcraft or Half-Life eventually.

Skanky Burns · May 12, 2002, 03:48

I like RTS, TBS, FPS, RPG, basically any game you can make a TLA out of.

Sarxis · May 12, 2002, 21:11

I extraneously clicked the 'banana' option..

I apologise.

Urban Ranger · May 12, 2002, 22:38

What exactly are "tycoon" games, and where should the sim- games belong?

Triped · May 13, 2002, 01:59

Railroad Tycoon, Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc.

They're pretty much Sim games so yeah

Jethro83 · May 13, 2002, 02:44

Any game involving empire building, conquest, or blasting the crap outta something.

So therefore...

TBS, RTS, FPS, Tycoon, RPG

Scouse Gits · May 13, 2002, 05:06

I guess I fit the current profile - TBS & RPG almost exclusively - but I'm a general games player bridge etc IRL

SG[1]

Cookie Monster · May 13, 2002, 08:13

TBS'er all the way with a sprinkle of simulations and bananas!

Now where's the option for wargames?

Tycoon games are basicly Sim games

Wargames? Wouldn't that be strategy? Or am I missing something?

Grumbold · May 13, 2002, 08:39

True wargames (with added hexes!) are loved by some, hated by others, so they could deserve their own category.

I didn't check RTS because the ones I liked i.e. original C&C and EU1/2 are very much the exceptions. The same goes for FPS. I don't think I've paid money for one since Duke Nukem.

St Leo · May 13, 2002, 14:37

Voted: RTS, TBS, Tycoon, FPS

I haven't checked classic games because I find playing them on the computer boring-ish (with the possible exception of Risk) and on simulation because I don't think you meant EU2.

No definately a category all it's own. For those of us who love wargaming only we understand. Mainstream strat games are usually too simplistic. Wargames are complex interpretations of real life events.

Agreed Grumbold, they're either loved, hated, or simply not even recognized.

Of course these are my humble opionions...........

Gotta remember that, didn't know that, sorry!

No problem ADG. Happy gaming!

da_jaymz · May 14, 2002, 14:41

Me likes wargames, RTS-s, TBS-games and a couple of RPG games.
And I only play sports games with my friends, but I always get angry at development teams, damn them all to hell!! After a few hours the game is not simulating nor the game is fun to play, you allways win by some little bug or a invincible tactic... A development team that after almost 10 years expirience in the same type of games cant make a decent soccer game is a freaking joke...I dont even know why I keep buying these games..

Juggler · May 14, 2002, 14:48

RPG's, Strategy TB/RT, 3Dshooters and offcourse good old platforms (I'm talking about oldies like DukeNukem, Crystal caves, Mario).

ixnay · May 14, 2002, 17:36

TBS, RTS, Tycoon, sports (mostly text-based management sports), and FPS.

Dis · May 14, 2002, 20:57

hmm. While I play some FPS games and sports games I didn't vote for them. I don't play them enough to check that. I played Max Payne for like a day (I didn't pay for it- it was my brother's). I quickly grew bored of Madden football.

So it is TBS and RPG games for me. Rpg's take a slight edge over TBS's games- at least recently. If civ3 had been better...
