......Cave is a developer, not a genre.
Cave generally developers "Bullet Hell shmups", which Resogun is not.
You're probably just thinking of shmups in general I assume, which Resogun is.

If you like one game in a genre there are probably at least a few others you will like as well that you just never found, the best I can do is "Frequency" being the only "tap buttons in time to the music" game I ever thought was actually worth sinking some real time into.
And Myth The Fallen Lords and its sequel are the only RTS games that hooked me, though you could argue they aren't really RTS games.

Yeah? That Cave Shooter Megathread that gets bumped every so often talks about other games, so I think that's where I got confused.
...and I've always found the term "shmup" annoying, so I've avoided using it.
That's fair, I understand why some people would feel that way. "2D Spaceship shooter" or something like that is probably a better way to describe the genre (though it's not really accurate since a lot of more modern games have you controlling cute anime girls instead of spaceships).

Portal, especially Portal 2. I'm not huge on puzzle games, they just feel too laborious to me. At least in those games (again especially in 2) you're going through a world that feels believable.
Also God of War, I don't have any interest in hack'n'slash but GoW is just so well produced. And the gameplay feels good.

Mother 2 and 3
Traditional rpg's bore me to death mainly because how cliché and predictable they are. Can't say that about these games.

Yep same for me.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Same. Although, Warcraft 3 got me interested in Starcraft 2.

I don't really like horror games but I do remember really getting into the first Dead Space (even tho I can understand that hardcore horror fans might not consider it to be a horror game) But most of the time I do like to experiance different things in gaming so as long a game is well executed and designed I tend to enjoy it even tho it might be a genre I usually do not consume as much.
Agreed.

Nintendo World Cup in the sports game genre.
Burnout and Mario Kart in the racing game genre.
Xenoblade isn't turn-based, though.

i loved the hell out of crazy taxi. i think i've dumped at least 20 bucks into crazy taxi arcade machines over the last 15 years. i really liked criterion's nfs most wanted too.
Good thread.
FPS is a genre I don't like.
Half-Life is a game I very much like, but it's unfair to class it alongside typical FPSs because it has more adventuring. In fact the reason I like it is because I get Tomb Raider vibes from it.
Uncharted is the only pure third-person shooter I like and Last of Us the only zombie game. The ND factor goes a long way.

Really like The Walking Dead, even though point-and-click adventure is probably my least favorite genre in the entire world.

Metroid Prime and HL1... I despise pretty much any other FPS

I don't like most FPS's. The ones I do enjoy are ones I can play with physics like Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun. My friend and I also had competitions in Halo to see who can launch a Warthog the highest into the air.

That is up for discussion, You totally shoot things in first person perspective.
Loved Fire Emblem, although I hate SRPGs.
Loved Guacamelee, although I hate fighting games. I admit it's not really a fighting game in the sense of Street Fighter but knowing what it was kept me away from it in the beginning. I'm glad I gave it a shot, though. It's one of the best Vita games.

Ehhh, what's the word for it then? I only knew action based RPGs. Reaction based?

Also, RO2/RS in online FPS. Ive been sick to death of online shooters for a long, long time but RO2 is absolutely sublime

I don't like platformers, RTS, and sandbox games, yet I liked LittleBigPlanet, Warcraft III, and Infamous: Second Son. Although, LBP's ridiculous life limit between the checkpoints made me quit playing the game later on. Starting levels back from the beginning after a slight miss is not something I find entertaining, and it's one of the main reasons for why I hate the genre.
EDIT: Almost forgot Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, which is the only online game I've found enjoyable and interesting enough to play.

jRPG does denote a region but there is a very distinct difference between eastern developed RPGs and western ones, as such that denotation does in fact represent a sub-genre of RPG games, or a new genre altogether, depending on your opinion.

I think action based RPG is the next best thing.
The enemies in Xenoblade certainly don't wait for you to take your next action.
