-To be a fighting game, it has to be a clone of a game from 1991

Not that Street Fighter 2 is bad, there are just so many possibilities for the genre that aren't realized because then "it wouldn't be a fighting game" or even if it's still a Street Fighter 2 clone but they simplify it (like DBZ Budokai) then it's "just a casual game"

Truly the worst genre in gaming

You'd think gamers would be grateful for there being games with variety out there, but nope. I blame
"professional" gamers and their nuthuggers for this dumb elitism.

3D fighters are pretty far from being like SF2. Hell, even Netherrealm fighters are pretty different than the SF series.

Racing games are like fighting games but done right. There all different types of racing games, even within the same subgenre... even within the same series (see Mario Kart)

There's plenty of variety without needing to reinvent the wheel. If you look at Tekken, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Dragonball Fighter Z, and Mortal Kombat and see no variety, there's something wrong with you.

This.

Esports, MLG, competitive scenes in general, etc. are all opposing ideologies to variety, innovation, and spontaneous surprises. These scenes are cancer to the games they touch. They water down the gameplay design in the name of optimal competition, which translates to blandness and conservative choices.

Fighting games are fun. It's like a mental battle with your opponent, except you have cool powers.


Sports games are better for this

The power you have is the ability to play in a pro sports league

Tbh, long thought process too...

GTAIII-VC-SanA are the worst "genres" and possibly will kill gaming with GTAVI.

Ever since 3, the games have become the most popular games bar none. To the point, while series are falling off and/or going niche after the PS2 era, GTA was hitting record strides.

The games popularized non reward based gameplay. Popularized fetch quests and map objectives. Popularized collecting mundane things like cars and stunt trophies. Popularized virtual killing sprees.

I see GTAVI being basically a second live compatible with PSVR.
