Alien: Isolation got me thinking about Dead Space - I would love to play that again for the first time.

Generally, there are a lot of horror and comedy games that I'd like to play again for the first time, given that they both rely on surprise.

I...I liked the The Unpopular Opinions Thread.

Does dragging and dropping from my post not work? They all appear correctly there =/

How would you refer to non-tactical turn-based combat (such as the main FF games)?

I didn't say that theme should be excluded when describing a game. Games can be defined by their genre AND theme.

Horror is a theme. Consider Lovely Planet and Wolfenstein: New Order - both are very different aesthetics wise, but they are both FPSs.

Basically, I think JRPG is a term that needs to be thrown out, just like "Doomclone".

What are the other factors? Keep in mind though, that in video games, theme and art style have nothing to do with genre classification.

JRPG is a horrible term. It feels like it makes more sense to just use the term 'turn-based RPG', since that's the gameplay, for the most part, that people are thinking of. At this point, there's absolutely no need to associate the gameplay with a specific country.

We need another stream!

Ha, I remember getting to that point and thinking I was getting close to the end...then it turns out there's still heaps of stuff left :| You're definitely not even half way.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the game and I'd say that it's definitely worth playing on. Also, I'll just mention that I spent 62 hours on the game (according to Steam). Take that with a grain of salt though, I'm usually pretty slow at playing through games and I have a tendency to want to do everything.
