Just saw a topic on overused genres and was wondering..
What genres do you highly enjoy but not see enough of?
For me a personal favorite is God games and i wish there were more.

Like X-Com? I'd love some more in that setup, if not that sub-genre. I wish Gladius was on Steam.

RTS! This genre is dead. Now we only have tactical games like Total War series or games like Starcraft where player (most probably from Korea) with highest APM(Action Per minute) wins e.g Starcraft. I want game where i can build buildings, defences and rushing is suicide. Where's new AoE? Age of Mythology? Warlords:Battlecry? :|

The strategy part has kind of suffered over the years. I think its just a matter of catering to the audience, and that's what people buy. People have use the swarm strategy for years and I think they'd just be confused if it didn't work.

That's mainly because RTSs are boring as hell games where you spawn toons from buildings and send them to the other side of the map and then all over again for half an hour.

gigapudding, as if CoD is different. You do the same each time. And MOBA's are even worse. RTS is an awesome genre.

I would like to see more Tactical FPS like Swat and classic rainbow six. and a different kind of RTS/City builder/God game mix that you can do with friends and shit in a more lively world rather than just for a 30 minute match or so.

Zombie platformers with roguelike elements and tactical combat in randomly generated dungeons. With kittens.

I'd love to see more point & click adventures. The non-action ones. I think that the closest we have to point & click adventures are Hidden Object games, but that's just not the same.

That, and stealth games, as some people already mentioned. We sure could use more pure stealth games, like the old Splinter Cell and such.

Survival Horror games, with the emphasis on Survival. Anything where you aren't at best trying desperately to conserve ammo/resources does not count.

The Evil Within is an upcoming and promising title. You can headshot the monsters but can't kill them unless you set them on fire with one of your matches. And you can only carry 5 matches at a same time. Maybe that's the kind of game you're waiting for? :)

RPGs with cyberpunk, sci-fi and modern day setting.
Survival horror games like the old Resident Evils, with exploration, ammo management and dynamic camera angles.
Spy games like Alpha Protol and The Operative: No One Lives Forever.

Agreed. I thought Assassins creed could have been so much more. It made me want a Pirate simulator.

Have you played the second one?

I played it 2000 times when I was younger.

PS: I actually never got past level 1 in Beyond the call of duty, same with the original Hitman (not including tutorial), but I must've spent 200 hours on both

I really want to see a good turn based tactical game whatever you call it like fallout1+2+tactics/paradise cracked+power of law/e5+7.62/silent storm but not castrated like the not so new X-com:enemy unknown.

I would love to see an openworld detective type game. I think that would be awesome. I've never done too much looking into if there are any though, so if anyone knows of some, please let me know! Also, if you haven't played it yet, KeeperRL is a pretty awesome God-Type game, and it's free, so it is good to waste some time on.

Urban Chaos is one, so is LA Noire, both are great.

I would go so far as to say Fallout New Vegas counts also, the main quest is basically a detective quest to a point and many of the sides quests have you solving things or finding people.

Well people shitted in history and there was always gaytalk as you put it.

Yep, we even have documentations of gaytalk from as far back as several hundred years B.C. In fact, we have several cases of what by today's standard probably would be considered borderline gay porn.
