Aren't they a little bit too linear to be considered adventure games (well, save for Radical Dreamers, maybe)?

why don't you just use all genres that apply for each game?

i want a very basic one or two genre system. going to handle more in-depth descriptions like "tactical" in a different way.

Oh, and yeah, I think they do warrant their own genre, I guess.

i'm really wondering why they need to be differentiated, it seems like "visual novels" are just the direction japanese adventure games headed while american adventured games turned into monkey island and the like

like if an american made a visual novel it would just be called an adventure game

2011-12-11 07:13:38 pm
Mainly because they're more story driven and a lot less driven by puzzles and such. Well, again, Radical Dreamers is the exception.

LOL how ironic, the least "visual novel"-like game of the bunch gets categorized as a visual novel on Wikipedia.

can anyone think of another, more broad way of describing survival horror games? i really don't think any of the other genres listed accurately describe resident evil, for instance, which is why it's on the list.

Resident Evil can go under action, IMO.
