ITT:Genres that shouldn't be dead

>Platform
Fun as fuck
>Arena Shooter(except for overwatch which is good actually)
>RTS
Intense type of gaming
>MMO
immersive as fuck

Skate and car battle games were fun.

fighting

best part of the rise of indiefags is that there's a shitload of platformers out there. most of them are actually pretty good

I miss the mickey mouse and crash bandicoot style of platformer,most of indieshit has to do with "muh deep" stuff and little to no gameplay

RTS, MOBAs killed them. Now there's a genre that should be dead.

Super meat boy? Shovel knight?

>RTS
why the fuck does Sup Forums gargle cum for RTS when they have less gameplay than uncharted which Sup Forums claims is a movie ?

>inb4 RTS requires thought

but yeh you're right about platformers though OP

I disagree when it comes to indie platformers. most of them have a focus on gameplay. 1001 Spikes is the first game that comes to mind. there are some exceptions of course.

now, I will absolutely agree with you that crash bandicoot style platformers are dead, which is a damn shame because the crash games are fantastic

Platformers still exist, what are you on about? Hopefully Yooka Laylee is great. I liked Freeze Me too.

Arena Shooters were great. I agree. Their best bet is to be a game mode in a different, more popular, more modern shooter that people can try. I miss movement options more than anything. Bunny hopping and rocket jumping ;_; Fuck this "R2 to booster pack" shit.

There are still RTS games, aren't there? Granted I don't play any of them. I personally enjoy the fuck out of old isometric 2.5D/2D ones like Command and Conquer.

MMOs are fukken ded. A combination of widespread Wiki information and everything having an online component are to blame. A fantastic fighting/battle system could perhaps be a saving grace, but the type I'd be looking into would be severely hurt by ping limitations.

I'm... actually kind of upset that the new tony hawk was bad now.
