Title: "Unique" Genre Post by: tactical_nuke on March 23, 2014, 01:04:50 PM There are a ton of games under this genre that can easily fit into a more descript category. For instance the Katamari games can all go under Action/Adventure being that their subgenres are "Action Puzzle" anyway. The WarioWare games can all go under "Compilation" with the subgenre "Mini Games". I just wanted to get an OK before I submit a flood of corrections for them.
Also, I think the staff should consider "Fitness" and "Game Builder" as genres as it would better categorize a lot of the entries under "Unique". Title: Re: "Unique" Genre Post by: NES_Rules on March 23, 2014, 01:21:57 PM Consider this your "OK". A lot of time, stuff like Genre gets put in when a title is first added to the DB, and that's not always by someone who has played it, so they may just be going on a short description or trailer for a game, so it can be hard to classify. If you think a game can obviously fit into a more specific genre, go for it.
I can definitely see Fitness being a genre, it's apparently a fad that isn't going away as quickly as anyone thought. I can only think of a few games that would fit into the Game Builder genre though, are there really enough to warrant their own genre? Title: Re: "Unique" Genre Post by: tactical_nuke on March 23, 2014, 02:03:53 PM Yeah after a 2nd look through there aren't that many actually. But there are a bunch of art creation games though. Thanks.
Title: Re: "Unique" Genre Post by: techwizard on March 23, 2014, 02:28:26 PM what about just a "creation" genre, or something like that? it might be a bit vague but i can think of quite a few games that could fit into that including game builders
Title: Re: "Unique" Genre Post by: tactical_nuke on March 24, 2014, 09:17:32 PM Just took a look at the Misc. category. It really needs some work. Unique and Misc. should just be combined into one category called "To Be Sorted".
