I was watching somebody playing Hitman 3 who remarked that it’s the last survivor of the AAA stealth franchises.

Those genres aren't truly dead, just innovation has been punched in the gut and is lying on the floor.
The companies that were innovative pioneers of the last several decades are a shadow of their former selves due to bloat and invasion of sjw politics. As new technology arrives you will see a revival of these genres from new hungry companies. Just give it time. Within the next decade, they will come back. I especially think stealth VR gaming will be a huge success. |

I overhead a kid in the store telling their dad about this cool game the teacher let them play, the kid was excitedly explaining the game and the dad was grinning and nodding his head.
The game? Oregon Trail Somewhere a teacher is teaching the old ways |

Good turned-based RPGs.
I'm about to just say F it and pay the 59.99 for early access to Baldur's Gate 3. And I do miss old school MMORPGs like UO pre-Trammel. |

Off the wall sports games.
We still get some arcade racin' games like forza horizon, but stuff like SSX, dave mirra's cyclin', and NBA street, we're never going to see again. Which is a shame because I like racing sims, but AFA other sports games go, it was only the goofy stuff that ever appealed to me. |

I miss the RTS games. 15 years ago everyone had a PC and most could play RTS with maybe a few exceptions. Now as people have transitioned to tablets and smart phones to browse so most people don’t have a pc and graphics have gotten so much better on games you have to have a pc set up just to play on, and I don’t play enough to justify the cost.
Also FPS and open world games have taken over so much of the market that it’s not really profitable for companies to spend time and money making anything else. |

Non-consensual player vs. player games. The original and best ever being Ultima Online. It's the only online multiplayer game I ever liked, and I still play it a little bit ( http://www.uorenaissance.com/ ). I'm not an expert on MMORPGs but from what I have been told pretty much everything out is full of "safe spaces" so that you are totally free from the risk of other players attacking you. The original Ultima Online went this direction as well, so the "retro" versions like the one I linked are all that is left of the only video game that I ever played that could actually make me feel afraid of being attacked by someone.
ETA: Not sure if it is "dying" but I really don't like first person perspective games. My favorite is the isometric view (think War Craft for PC, not WoW). Easier to navigate and control. |

Good RPGs.
Most will be woke garbage going forward. Mass effect 3 wasn’t as good as the first two and pushed some woke BS. Andromeda the woke was stronger like them uglifying the female protagonist versus the gorgeous model they based her on versus the male one looked exactly like the male model they used because feminism or some shit. The first 3 games I literally did 6 plus characters to see how slight choice changes changed everything. Andromeda I finished it once. Dragon age 3 the story was kinda interesting the gameplay boring. I don’t have any hope for the next one. There were trannies in the last one that kinda fit the story and weren’t preachy / look at me like the shuttle pilot in me3. The Outter worlds I tried to like it. I put a decent number of hours in twice trying to like it. Never finished it. The gameplay meh plus the corporations and capitalism bad with everything got old. Though it has some funny stuff. I loved fallout new Vegas and was hoping for something that good. Fallout 4 kinda sucked. New Vegas was better. 76 was a money grab. Skyrim is almost a decade old and while wide as a ocean the gameplay and what you do is deep as a puddle. It’s most redeeming factor is mods, and it’s genuinely fun to play even if at least I tend to forget the main story and explore / side quest. The only bright spot is cd project red. The poles are woke resistant. |

Some of the Elder Scrolls series of games allowed me to play in a stealth mode and not be over powered to some degree depending upon difficulty. Fallout 4, stealth is fun, but I am usually over powering the enemy easily. For RTS I have enjoyed Sins of a Solar Empire, Starcraft II, and the Medieval: Total War series has been enjoyable. I also really like Faster Than Light as a RTS game. I could play a bit, do some work, come back, get addicted for hours, and have to work later in the evening because I should have gotten that work done earlier.
I have a friend going for aerospace engineering with a minor in video game design as some college in the south east, I can't remember which, and they have a lab specifically dedicated to studying older classic video games. They want to study them because they want to find the elements that worked very well in those games and continue to improve upon them. The only issues I see are attention span issues, intelligence, and the production size (I used to wait a few years between game releases for Elder Scrolls, now, what, a decade???). We will see what he and his friends come up with in the coming years. I am fairly excited about the future of gaming. In the mean time I am practicing stealth on deer. |

You have to go into the survival/horror FPS genre to get that, and even then there will be PVE servers and carebears. DayZ, Ark, etc. I had high hopes for Fallout 76 being the same way, but nope, PVE fest. Nothing gets the blood pumping like seeing a person and trying to decide if they're friendly or will screw you, or if you should screw them. It can be dozens of hours of gear, gone with a single 7.62 bullet to the noggin. I love it. Kharn |

I want a video game where I play a patrol cop, I want to pull folks over and smash windows, shoot tires/dogs and generally harass hoods. I want to make the decision to either let the fucker OD or give him the good stuff. Make the game with a bribe system, the gang who pays me the most gets me help. I want to bang hookers in the trunk of my cruiser, with the option of leaving her if needed be. 18 wheeling mother truckers will be dealt with, I'm the trucker fucker with the badge in this game. Stopped with a gun on your person? I'm calling in all my boys to chokehold your punk ass. Video takers will be dealt with accordingly.
Motherfuckers I want a true to life cop game. With graphics like LA Noir but not so story based cause in this game, all doors are kickable. Real life shit In the meantime I'll just play fucking tetris |

I generally hate online multiplayer. Ruined Fallout 76. I was so excited for it, and then it kinda sucked. Then they started patching and updating and changing it, and then it really sucked. I stopped playing because I didn’t like it. Not boredom, but straight up dislike.
FO76 was the last game I bought, and Witcher 3 was the last game I remember fondly. Hopefully something good is in the pipeline. I like to really immerse in a game for a few weeks every few years. |
