Non-action games

[edit]

There are games like Dead State and a lot of roguelikes that are not action games. SharkD  Talk  06:21, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still working through sources, but I think most are considered action games, but that doesn't mean they have to be action games, its just the broad genre the games get slotted into. it's not a top-level genre, obviously. --MASEM (t) 13:09, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of survival games section

[edit]

Do we really need this section? It doesn't help the article in any way. Anarchyte 06:33, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly all of our genre articles have a list of games in that genre - for the larger ones like FPS this tends to be a link to a category since the list would be impossibly large. Here it is to help provide the reader with examples of such games. It does need more entries to be added. --MASEM (t) 14:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I tried my best to add games prior to 2011 to the list, but I focused on action games. There are some simulation games and RPGs where the central theme is about survival (like the Mujintou Monogatari series), but I have not added these games to the list because they are not action games. -- ThiagoSimoes (talk) 19:03, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replace reference images from Minetest with Minecraft reference images

[edit]

Minetest is a Minecraft clone, and should not represent survival game aspects for what it is. Although Minetest was released in 2010 and Minecraft was released in 2011, Minecraft was in public development from 2009 up to it's release in 2011. Minetest took many of the core features from early Minecraft public test branches and released their clone of Minecraft before Minecraft in an attempt to claim Minecraft's success. Having a Minecraft clone as an example for the survival game genre is very irresponsible. The first image should be replaced by a Minecraft image or a different image showing the qualities of a survival game. The Second image should be replaced with an image showing the original Minecraft crafting interface, and not the one Minetest copied. CelesteTheArtist (talk) 06:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
