I'm glad this is dead as its own game. I already hated it by the time AssCreed did it with collecting feathers.

Text Adventure, as well as Point-and-Click Adventure are correctly judged based on how often they give you these kinds of description-less loop voids. "Why Can't I get ye flask???"

I personally don't like 3D beatem ups. I tried Fist of the North Star and it was just boring near infinite health bar enemies. That's not fun to me.

Literally the biggest franchise in the world is a turn based game but it seems people just consider that an exception or something.

Anyway I want to say rail shooter but I believe there's been some small indie stuff released there.

it's just not really an action masher cuz it lacks the cancelability of movements found in Itsuno's dmc games + DmC. also you have to play on the beat for max points so restricted to whatever music is playing.

i havent played ff16 but ik it has like limitations w/ jump cancels (like isn't it restricted to only a few at a time?). so it not really a masher

just an action game with masher elements

i read that it has some limitations on how much you can mash (because it's still partly an rpg!). That seems like it'd ruin the experience for me.

but maybe my mind will change once i try it out.

I'll take Achaea over most MMOs nowadays tbh. Same devs put out a scifi mmo in the last few years, but it failed pretty quickly. Had a clever spaceship system, but the kind of people that play MUDs are the kind who are ride or die for elves, not Vulcans.

I think the most recently dead genre is Real Time Tactical. Shadow Gambit's devs closed shop, and the guys who did Desperados are no longer doing Desperados.

The closest thing I can think of that could actually be considered dead is vehicular combat.

Kart racers is close if not for Mario Kart 8 being a monster of a hit (whereas the only other major one is Nicktoons, which came out six years ago).

One can nitpick that there is a niche release on Steam or a 'Nindie' for some of these, but these have for the most part vanished from the market (some for eons now).

-2D point and click adventures
-3D platformers (for children)
-maze games
-CERO A roleplaying games
-futuristic racing

Persona and Like a Dragon have been doing a hell of a job keeping turn-based RPGs alive. I wouldn't call the genre dead, yet.

Don't forget Yakuza/Like a Dragon literally transformed from an action game into a turn-based RPG. There's several great games keeping the genre alive.

Beat Em Ups.

No, I dont care that Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Turtles had an entry recently; theyre the exceptions, not the rule. SoR led the nostalgia charge, then came TMNT, and then DD came and went with a whimper. Lets see how long we get another prominent entry in the genre.

Good point.

Double Dragon Gaiden and DD4 were both shit because they were based on the crappy Nintendo versions. I will never understand why they would base it on unofficial nonsense instead of the great arcade version.

And SOR4, for me, if I can't buy it on disc then the game doesn't exist.

Such a shame on both counts.

Final Fight is dead because Capcom thinks putting FF characters into a different genre is the same thing, lol.

Maybe Golden Axe will be brought back.

Not sure if it's a "genre" but movie licensed games are pretty dead

Good point. Mostly because a movie takes a couple of months to make, but a game seems to take 4 years to develop, and then the publisher wants to drag out DLC for another 6 years, meaning the movie is 10 years old, lol.
