Description
We dive into what genre of games we like best

Synopsis



 * The guys welcome back Jessica, or "Jes V". Jovenshire asks the others what their genre of choice are.
 * Sohinki is a fan of MOBA games, or "action RTS" (real-time strategy), as he prefers to call them. Sohinki enjoys this genre because it tests skill "in the truest fashion".
 * Lasercorn speculates another reason why Sohinki enjoys MOBA games: they are "deeper"; they require a lot more mechanical knowledge than most standard first-person shooters. They also typically have a steeper learning curve.
 * Jessica does not have a favorite genre because "a good game is a good game", but she "gravitates" to action-adventure games. Jessica hates the sports genre the most because she is not a fan of sports in general. This leads to everyone discussing what sports game franchises they do and do not like.
 * Lasercorn enjoys real-time strategy games. As of late, he has also found himself enjoying stealth games. Lasercorn and Sohinki talk about times when would visit each other and play such games. Jessica mentions that she is not good at games of either genre.
 * Jovenshire enjoys anything with strategy and a good story. He enjoys role-playing games and wants to get into action RTS titles such as Dota 2. Sohinki offers to teach him, which Joven accepts and suggest that they could do it as a Raging Bonus video.
 * Ian and Anthony enjoy RPGs. Ian also enjoys racing games, particularly kart racing games. Anthony enjoys platformers, particularly 3D platformers.
 * The subject turns to platformers and Sohinki's second-favorite genre, first-person shooters.
 * Jovenshire reads off Twitter replies:
 * @earnie26: "platformers, because they are easy to pick up and play, and any game designer can make a decent title, that's fun to play :D"
 * @smoshersnorlax: "My favourite genre is RPGs because you can spend hours playing them and constantly levelling up I don't like playing short games"
 * The four talk about the lengths of games and short vs. long games before Jovenshire recommends that they save the topic for a potential future episode of Gamer Nation.
 * Jovenshire does a speedy outro and throws his notecard at the camera, which Lasercorn and Sohinki playfully berate him for.
