Yeah, I think cyberpunk games, even tho a few have come out recently, can be delved into even more. And Superhero shyt will also always be my jam.

I think Cyberpunk dystopian games will eventually become a wave. Our society is moving in that direction so they'll have a place.

I think superhero games can always be something people can get into from a game like Prototype to Spider-man, since creating a closed open world will be enjoyable without being overwhelming.

[TheSuperkick!]

I want more sandbox crime games. I grew up in the era with them and now all those series are dead.
Saints Row, Scarface, True Crime/Sleeping Dogs, Watch Dogs, etc just gone. And then GTA/Rockstar have been full of shyt for 8 years.

Any series where the games sole purpose is to be super difficult. Like what's the point?

A genre that needs more of a push is superhero games. Where is inFAMOUS? Where's [Prototype]? Where's the new Batman game? Where is the fukking Hulk at? They fukked up the Avengers game so bad that the Guardians game didn't sell well. They screwed up with Gotham Knights and ruined Suicide Squad too. Hell they even fukked up Spiderman 2 by cancelling all the dlc. Where's the Blade game? In a world with the Mordor series, how hard can that be?!

I also wish having a black main wasn't something people threw themselves off cliffs about but that ain't ever gone change.
