Let's see what kind of games the farms actually like.


If you've never played any game of a specific genre, just skip it.

Platformer​

I only ever played Mario games, Sonic games and a few indie platformers, so my choices are limited. The best one would be Sonic Mania.

Action adventure / Zeldalike​

Not a very popular genre, so haven't played that many, I'd say either The Binding Of Isaac (Which has Roguelike elements which helps replayability) or A Link To The Past (On an emulator).

RPG​

Easy, Persona 5.

Metroidvania​

Never played any Metroidvania, so nope nothing.

Hack 'n Slash​

Only played one, Bloodroots. Not really my kind of games.

Top Down Shooter​

The closest I've ever played anything like that was agar.io. Let that sink in.

Sidescroller Shooter / Gun 'n Run​

Also never actually played a game like Contra ever. I did play Cuphead, but in my head it registered as a platformer. After further deliberation, I'm a retard and that's my pick since it's the only one I ever played.

First Person Shooter​

Easy, DOOM.

Third Person Shooter​

Another tie, this time between GTA 5 and Red dead redemption 2.

Arena Shooters​

Nope again. Does TF2 actually count as an arena shooter, in which case it'd be my pick.

Dungeon Crawler / Roguelike​

I've only ever played 2 full releases of this genre in my entire lifetime, Crypt of the Necrodancer and Caves of Qud so I'm going with crypt of the Necrodancer, but it wasn't that fun really. Probably not my type of game.

Action RPG​

I'm pretty sure I played one, but I can't actually recall the name, so I'll skip.

Strategy card games (Yu-Gi-Oh ripoffs)​

Inscryption.

Games of chance (ie Mario Party and dicey dungeon)​

I tried out Sonic Shuffle on an emulator, pretty decent despite the bad press it got from the interwebs.

Bullet Hell / Like Touhou​

Only played Deltarune's demo, so I'll go with that. Tho wanted to try out Lumpy Touch's bad monday simulator.

Sports games​

Holy fuck why does that even exist? lmao just go outside.

Fighting games​

Super Smash Bros on Wii U.

Adventure​

No idea what it would entail compared to "Action adventure", so I'll skip.

Point and Click​

That sounds boring, so haven't played any.

Visual Novel​

The games from the Persona series are the closest things to a visual novel I've ever played. I'm somewhat interested in Ace Attorney, but never got around to try it out.

Soulslike​

So far, I'd say Tunic.


There are hundreds of genres, so I prolly forgot 1, 4, 8 or more, but here are all my picks.

View attachment 3413505
This one ruined me as a wee sperg. It tainted my expectations in action games for years afterwards. Every one needed a cool environmental destruction system and if you couldn't so much as blow up a shack I considered it lame.

If you think I have any plebe/normalfag tastes, just assume it's because I haven't played too many of its kind (but not too much, I'll fight you on some of them).

Platformer: Mario Odyssey. I haven't played many.
Zeldalike: BoTW. Again, haven't played many Zeldalikes.
RPG: Morrowind.
Metroidvania: Hollow Knight. See first 2.
Hack 'n Slash: DMC5, MGR.
Top-down shooter: Hotline Miami
Run 'n Gun: Does Mark of the Ninja count? That was pretty fun
FPS: Played a lot, but none really stood out.
TPS: RDR1, Just Cause 2
Arena: Dunno
Roguelike: Tossup between CDDA and Unreal World
ARPG: Dragon's Dogma
Strategy card game: The only one I've played was that one Gwent RPG, which was fun for a while, so I'll pick that.
Bullet hell: Enter the Gungeon
Sports: Most fun I had was with FIFA 2010 because it was topical. After that I dropped the genre like a sack of neutron star material.

Now for some other stuff

RTS: between Supreme Commander, Red Alert 2, and Age of Empires 2 and 3 (not including definitives).
4X: Civ 5
Isometric ARPG: Path of Exile, if only because it's the only one I've ever finished.
Flight sim: DCS/IL-2 1946
Stealth: Thief 1-3 (yes, 3 as well), Dark Mod
MMO: FFXIV
Immersive Sim: Desu Sex

People are naming stuff like Mario and Zelda and adding the caveat that they don't play many of this genre and are sorry for being basic. Motherfuckers you're playing the best! Don't be ashamed.
For me it's not that I'm playing the genre-namer, just that I've only played the newest and most currently popular entry. If someone considers Sunshine superior to Odyssey, or Wind Waker better than BotW, then they could be right, for all I know.
 
Platformer
Shit, that's a tough one. I'm leaning towards Klonoa 2 myself.

Action/Adventure
This one however isn't a tough one. Shadow of the Colossus.

RPG
Final Fantasy IX/Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Metroidvania
Either Super Metroid or Metroid Prime if that counts. lol

Hack and Slash
Either DMC3 or Bayonetta

Sidescroller Shooter/Run and Gun
Never really played any of these. Closest I can think of would be Earthworm Jim, but I never beat that game legitimately.

FPS
That's a really tough one as well. I like DOOM, Half Life 1/Black Mesa, Left 4 Dead 2 and the original Halo trilogy.

Third Person Shooter
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

Arena Shooter
I suppose Team Fortress 2? Don't think I've played many of these.

Dungeon Crawler/Roguelike
I think I've only ever played one of these and it was called Baroque for the PS2. Which was okay but considered an inferior remake to the original game on the Saturn, which as far as I know has never been translated so I can't really play it.

Action RPG
Would Fallout: New Vegas count?

Strategy Card Games
lol

Game of Chance
Mario Party I guess. Doesn't matter which

Bullet Hell
Never played any of these. Closest to one I've played would be Undertale.

Sports Games
Shadow of Rome. Gladiatorial battles and Chariot racing count as sports right?

Stealth
Either Sly 2: Band of Thieves or MGS3: Subsistence.

RTS

Hands down, Impossible Creatures. Imagine Starcraft, but the most strategic gameplay takes place outside of the 1v1s, in the army creator.
If I added the RTS slot I would put in Red Alert 2. The perfect Command and Conquer game with wonderful missions, units, mechanics and a rocking soundtrack.
Also Zofia is my future ex-wife.
