The BEAst in I Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) People would be surprised that "Free-Roam" isn't a genre of games, lol. Everyone who is saying Sleeping Dogs, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA IV as Sandbox/Free-Roam...might wanna check again, they're considered Action games, almost Action/Adventure. Anyways... To me at least, sandbox games is a term to describe an action/action-adventure that is free-roam, its more like a sub-genre then a full on genre. Using the term sandbox game when describing GTA or Red Dead separates and identifies the games differences from just any other action/action adventure game. Action games can be hack and slashes, shumps, beat em ups, survival horror, platformers etc... Are you saying those genres aren't genres?

Ninja Eagle Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Certain ones. As much hate as it gets, I enjoy CoD from time to time (though I haven't bought a CoD since BO). Battlefield is excellent as well, but kind of shitty looking after you've seen what it looks and plays like on a PC. I know that CoD really isn't that great of a game, but it's simplicity is really what hooks me. It is quite fun to play in a full party though.

Roaming around doing whatever the hell you want is just so fun, especially with GTA IV, which has an awesome map perfect for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free-Roam as a sub-genre, while Action, Adventure, and Action/Adventure are the "bigger" genres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the ability to complete a game at my leisure is a great thing. That's definitely what I like about them. Having to make a second playthrough for a missable achievement you didn't get is almost criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmid Blues Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Adventure Platformers and Survival Horror games in particular... Unfortunately, neither are abundant on the 360. Maybe someday this'll change, and the system's game selection will become more well-rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmomo Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 RPGs like Final Fantasyand The Elder Scrolls series are #1 for me. Number 2 would have to be action games like GTA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadPirateRai Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I almost exclusivley play RPG's of any genre. Mass, Effect, Dragon Age, Elder scrolls (exception Skyrim, apparently I just couldn't get into the game. Going to get it on xbox instead of ps3 and replay to see if I can get into it.) But occasionally I do venture out and try other games, FPS and the like. The only thing I never play are sports games, I find them stupidly boring.

CyberPunch83 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 My absolute favourite would have to be puzzle/platformer-based games. Shooters are fun, but there's no appeal in playing a game from a genre everyone and their dog plays and sists they're pro at. I loved more alternative games like Catherine and Alice: Madness Returns. Perhaps the excessive advertisement large games get has turned me away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal Rach Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 My favourite genre would have to be RPGs. Final Fantasy X was my first RPG and I've been a big fan of the series since then. Also really enjoyed Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia MJ Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'll try any genre, enjoy them all but if i had to pick favs it would probably be Sandbox, RPGs and Racing games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
