 Aaand, done with the whole list!  

 

 

I deleted MOBA since it doesn't apply. I wasn't originally planning on including an erotic game, but I noticed that the game I'd planned on using for nonfiction was also listed as "erotic", soooo... why not?

 

4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate): Islanders

Thriller: Oxenfree
Turn-based strategy (TBS): Final Fantasy VII
Visual Novel: Steins;Gate
Warfare: Syphon Filter

 

As others have mentioned, some of the genres and themes they list for these games are baffling. Equally perplexing are some of the omissions. From my own gaming history, my two favorite examples are:

• Having the option to have chosen Golf With Your Friends as my horror game, but somehow
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered does NOT qualify as a warfare game!

Also, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday has to be the least erotic game I've ever played, but hey, I don't assign the genres.

 

Thanks so much for hosting this, @Rebourne07! Between this one and the other forum challenges, I've tried several games I otherwise never would have played. It's been fun!

UPDATE: 

 

Got Point-and-Click, Non-Fiction, and Card & Board Game finished.

 

Point-and-Click is completed with 2064: Read Only Memories. Cool game that was before VA-11 Hall-A, so I wanted to grab the story beforehand and had fun during it!

 

Non-Fiction is done with Unpacking. Simple game that I've seen other people do for this genre so I picked it. You unpack....that's it. 

 

Card & Board Game is done with I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. A really cool game that I highly recommend. I had such a blast with it and it's genuinely one of favorite games of 2022, and probably the last few years as a whole. 

 

Only have 3 more and I'm completed. I have some lined up for all three genres, just RTS I'm wary about because there isn't a ton that doesn't take a ton of hours to complete and I'm not a RTS person at all.

Been awhile.  Hope everyone is well.  Haven is done for Romance.  It was alright.  Enjoyed the crafting, the exploring, the foraging, even the romance stuff was fine.. Traversal in this game is pretty annoying though.  The map is bad and trying to find the tether you need to get to where you want to go even after clearing the level is a pain in the ass.  Some kind of boots to let you just fly around the level once you clear the game would be helpful.  

 

Next up for 4X is Grand Ages Medieval.  I'm more of a checkers instead of chess person.  This one might be a pain in the ass  lol

[pelagia14]

Wow, I love the philosophy of this event, so count me in! 

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see that between my current list of plats and my gaming backlog, there are only 3 genre/themes that I don't have anything for:Pinball, Quiz/Trivia, and *RTS. *(Or Fighting, if I counted Destiny 2 as RTS instead)

 

Pinball: Seems like Yoku's Island Express is popular to use for this genre, and at least the game aesthetics seem nice.

RTS: I'm probably going to use Grand Ages Medieval for this genre, thanks to @Copanele's suggestion!

Quiz: This will probably be the last one that I'll tackle, based on what others here have used. I love trivia games, but once the category's blatant bloatware is factored out it is not immediately clear to me if there is a good console game for this one.

 

I love @A_J_P72's idea of adding 'unofficial' genres not recognized by the IGDB!

QUESTION: I want to double-check that L.A. Noire counts for "Warfare". The PS3 Version (that I have platinumed) does not list this theme, but the PS4 Version does. It feels a bit odd to count it as "Warfare", but I suppose there are gang wars in the story?

[Rebourne07]

@pelagia14 Welcome to the challenge  Yes you can count LA Noire as Warfare. If its on one system but not another it still counts since its the same game.

UPDATE: 

 

Got Pinball done with Creature in the Well. Saw a few people on here do this one for Pinball and it seemed to be the easiest and most interesting take on Pinball. Had fun and was very quick. Recommend if you're looking for one for the Pinball one or just a quick fun game!

 

Only have 2 more and I'm completed. Thinking of doing ParRappa the Rapper for Music and I think Wildcat Gun Machine for RTS. Waiting for some sales on either so I can focus on some backlog and new stuff coming at the moment.

I finally got an update for the list - Warriors Orochi 4. I could have put it on tactical, but I think I have some games in my backlog that are that genre, so I put it on Warfare instead. Here's the list:

I guess the next one will be the tactical genre. I think I will probably play Valkyria Chronicles, since that game has been in my backlog for way too long.

Hey everyone! 

 

What is a decent/good RTS game - I ONLY have a PS4. 

 

I am looking for one that is fun (at least semi-fun) and not crazy difficult to complete. 

 

Thanks!

I am working on Shadow Tactics for RTS and enjoying the game. It's not super difficult but it does take time if you play blind, lots of trial and error. The same developers made Desperados III which I  have heard plays very similarly with some improvements. Others on here have recommended Grand Ages: Medieval, haven't played it but you could scroll previous posts to see those comments.

UPDATE: Added  Avicii Invector for Music, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for Real Time Strategy, Untitled Goose Game for Simulator, and L.A. Noire for Warfare. 

 

41 down, only 2 to go! Just Comedy and Sport are left.

 

Avicii Invector: I enjoyed the music/mixes in this. Also I learned I am really not good at rhythm games. RIP Avicii

Shadow Tactics: Played this one blind so it was lots of trial and error (and took longer than it should because of it), but I enjoyed puzzling out the scenarios to advance

Untitled Goose Game: I didn't get the appeal of this one at first, the controls are super awkward. It ended up being a fun but basic stealth game, though.

L.A. Noire: Doing the cases without a guide was not intuitive (the witness cues were not always very clear), but it was an entertaining game anyway, with a pretty good through-story.

 

My list:

4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate): Sid Meier's Civilization VI

Action: Kingdoms of Amalur:Re-Reckoning  
Adventure: Red Dead Redemption 2  
Arcade: Atari Flashback Classics Vol 1

Thanks! I have discovered I enjoy some genres I thought I wouldn't, so mission accomplished I think. Glad you put this challenge together!

Discovered  I was only 3 entries off having this so thought I'd join in!?

Though I committed the shovel ware sin to get two of those out of the way (Romance and quiz) But the rest of the list is good so hopefully i'll be forgiven
Also the version of GTA:III linked is platinumed, but doesn't have the business tag, however the ps5 version does
Just  RTS to go
Update: Final Fantasy Xiii-2 is a RTS on igdb so that's my last game and the list is complete ?
