What is your favorite game genre?

article image placeholderUploaded by @Byrdseyeview
I don't mind it being fragmented like that because it immerses you in the world more and you find out more about this world, but most cases you still got to go on YouTube and hear someone who already pieces it together for you and hear the whole thing. But even then there's some speculations with certain things that go on in that world. But yeah. That's what I love about Action RPGs. It kind of just lets you be that character

Hey, Cory, really enjoyed your swell here. When it comes to my favorite game genre, I've always been one of those guys that likes first person shooters. BioShock is my favorite game of all time. And lately, I mean, games have evolved so much over the years. So obviously you have excellent, excellent stuff coming out, like Eldon Ring, Red, Dead Redemption a few years ago. Those games are incredible and very fun

So I'm like, no, you're not getting my cash on that one. But yeah, I like first person shooters, too. I'm a fun. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan, but I am definitely a fan of first person shooters. Like I mentioned, I love action RPGs, as in Mass Effect, Elder Ring, Dark Souls. And I can totally understand dumping hours and hours and hours

Corey I can totally appreciate that point about it being a cash grab and games like, it it's not new. And then we've seen the stories of credit cards being run for thousands of dollars of loot crates, things like that. What I think is super interesting about games that have that sort of it's not pay to play, but it's like like pay to play and look cool while you play is like generationally speaking

Hey, Taylor, loving this conversation. As a huge gamer myself, it's really great to talk to other gamers. Unfortunately not face to face, but voice to voice. Well, first of all, BioShock is the bomb. I have a hard time keeping a top ten list because things keep coming in and out and things I forget about and things I've been playing for years. That's not list. And I'm like, wait a minute, why isn't that on the list?

You know, I didn't have a job other than going to school, which obviously doesn't generate income. So I feel like my parents were fair with me, and I loved Pokemon enough to really inspire me to do the best that I can and take that as you will. I think the kids should be stimulated by education, regardless of the potential video game incentive that's there. But when you're, like eight years old, you're not really thinking about that sort of thing

If I were in this eight day and age, if I got extra money, I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, let me pour it into Apex. Let me put it into this just one game. When there's thousands of other games that you can experience that you could buy, and they're pouring all this money into this one game, and of course, EA and Activision and all these people are eating that up. Of course they are. And it's not going to stop

Oooh, this is my type of discussuon! #videogames #mentalhealth

But I always go back to the Final Fantasy series. Has some of my favorites, tifa from Final Fantasy Seven. Another of my favorite characters, too. So curious to hear if you've played Mass Effect and what your thoughts are on that game. But thank you for starting this conversation. It was awesome listening to your swell

The second and third one really delves more into just the action RPG elements of it. I'm a I can't say I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan. I love Final Fantasy as a series, but I don't play a lot of the turnarounds stuff as I used to. I played Final Fantasy Seven back in the PS One days, and I got all the way to the end and I died and I had to go back
