Just making the point, you said you can play all but one game in each genre. But you need an NTSC console to do so. I know the core of the site owns an NTSC console and the system is built with them in mind firstly. It wasn't a snipe at you guys in the slightest. And I massively appreciate the recent multi region incorporation.
I had my attempt at voicing my opinion on all this before, but I took what was said and accept it, it makes sense.
I was just making a true statement. As for BCFx, do your worst! ;) |

I was actually talking about the non-360 games in genres. I have a pretty low end laptop, and it has no trouble with any GFWL arcade game, but I can't even get Fallout 3 to run.
I'm not actually worried about BCFx for skill reasons (I'm pretty sure I could do it) or even quality reasons, but when so few people have played it, even though it has some level of notoriaty, that kind of says it shouldn't go into the genres. |

Sadly I have played this. It is actually quite accessible in my area. Both of my local video rentals places carry it.
More about DW when I have time to sit down and think, so I can hopefully rescue someone's abortion of an explanation about the series. |

No actually the DW badge is more respectable than a uDraw badge.
There's actually enough games to warrant a DW badge.
But alas, some fishy guy would not allow this to ever happen, even if I am super nice to him and helped him win a gold medal badge....
Well we're going to have to figure out how to split the genre somehow... |

Strategic Hack and Slash?
I think the relative popularity of Lego games warranted a split by specific game. The least Lego game that has been out for a year is more popular than all but one of the DW games.
Unless somebody wants to discuss a Need For Speed genre? |

| Well I think there was some talk of a Racing split between Arcade style and Sim-style, or something. Right? |

Okay if I give you your need for speed genre, you give us the DW genre. |

Skylanders is in a different league to uDraw. It's an amazing game. No sarcasm.
I hated the whole idea of it then my wife bought it for her and I ended up playing it for quick achievements in the Skyline and I loved every minute of it. |

There would be no point in a NFS genre. It would just have its servers closed in a year anyway. Why put the effort into maintaining a genre for 1-2 games at a time?
Now the sim vs arcade racing split, that was a great topic and something I thought was honestly going to be thought about come the end of the year, for a major update in q1 next year. |

I love that a throw away sarcasm thread has devolved into another "I disagree with the way genres are done" thread.
Nicely done Tandar1. |

What about region badges for ppl who play 25% 50% so on of games only released in there region that whould help keep other regions happy as they wont be pegged back by games they cant get.
Such as australia getting Cricket games when ntsc cant play them and aus /pal cant play many games ntsc can play

Also, when a game outsells Call of Duty, Madden, Gears and Halo, the peripheral isn't exactly "useless" really. |
