The natives have so far attained Ray Tracing but they're doing it on a woeful number of TFLOPs, so they insist that they can only support one gaming genre.

I'll add any genres you request, just hold off on your vote until I add it i guess.

Yes Soulsborne is a joke i died ten MILLION times playing Max Payne 1 in 2001)

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Platformers aren't on the list, and I want something that includes Mario, Contra, Castlevania, Gunstar Heroes, etc. :lollipop_content:

I'd take Snowrunner, that's not a choice, but that thing can keep you busy.

But I'd be too busy doing things like... you know surviving to play games.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Gotta be JRPG. Most games in the genre are lengthy, and there is usually a ton of variety as well as side-quests, minigames, etc. If I was on a weird-ass desert island and could only play JRPGs the rest of my life, I'd still be a happy man.

It's not on the list, but I would definitely choose the Metroidvania genre. :messenger_heart:

(Metroid series, Castlevania SotN, Hollow Knight)

Horrible examples for action adventure. Why not put Last of Us, Uncharted. Control, Tomb Raider, etc. Change Conker to platformer and list Mario, etc

Y no immersive sim?
PSA for anyone trying to think up obscure genres:

I ran outta poll slots lol so no more, i guess in this scenario the civilization on this island is only aware of a limited number of genres

they were deliberately troll'y/humorous examples

I choose MMOs. The only reason I dont play them much is because I spent so much time on Final Fantasy XI and XIV, there wasn't time for all the other games. However, if I can't play them all anyway, give me MMOs.

Hunting games (Monster Hunter, God Eater, Toukiden, Freedom Wars). C'mon OP, you're missing some of the most endlessly replayable genres in gaming.

Immersive Sims are obscure now?
According to the titles in the search I've done just now you could put most of them in other genres, "rpg/fps hybrid" etc... Prey, a Dark Messiah, EYE, System Shock 2, Vampire bloodlines, Pathologic, STALKER, BioShock, BioShock infinite, thief... I mean all of these titles can fit into other genres on the poll..

... I dunno i think i was implying that certain personalities came here not to select an option but to suggest one i hadn't thought of..

To be fair overnight i was annoyed to see i didn't have "3rd person rpg" like elder scrolls or dragon age, poop, but i guess people can make the stretch to call that wrpg or something because I've not heard any complaints on that one
 
I chose action adventure because I saw Conker, so I guess you're lumping in 3D platformers as action adventure.

But seriously, why didn't you put platformers as an option? I see MetroidVania which is cool, but there are a lot of platformers that don't fit that description at all. And Shovel Knight as a roguelike? What in tarnation?! How is Shovel Knight a roguelike?

If platformer was an option, I'd have chosen that. Sorry to complain so much, I'm just salty.

I wasn’t taking a shot at you in my first post. I was just sad not to see it. If I could only play one genres on an island, it would be a toss up between that and survival horror.

i guess my genre blind spots have been identified :p I dunno, I spent about 2 minutes writing out most of that poll and in the end I only had 3 or 4 slots for more genres so I guess it's set in stone

Fuck me, I thought JRPG had moved to the front with 6 votes but WRPG is lurking near the bottom of the table with a similar number, arrrgh NeoGAF is not picking a favourite genre! fuuuu
