In general I prefer Japanese RPGs (which I suppose only helps to reinforce the stereotype)...it seems like in general they're more focused on plot, while western RPGs are more open-ended and maybe focused on leveling? That being sad, some western RPGs are awesome. Like Oblivion.

I haven't been in gaming fandom much recently, though, with college it's just hard to devote the time to 40+ hour games.

Then there's the adventure game genre, which suffered a heatdeath in the mid-90s on the PC and is starting to gain ground again, not least of which is thanks to the DS and a very large female fanbase, Phoenix Wright being the best example. Though I wonder if any of them have decided to trawl a few years back in the genre and discover the wonders of things like Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. Aesthetics seems to play a bigger part into what games develop what kind of community than I'd think anyone would like.

Of course, there's the occasional crossover resulting in Cognitive Dissonance kind of game. Devil May Cry, for example, clearly has a large male and female fanbase, both with generally entirely different perspectives on Dante and the game in general.

Oh man, I've ALWAYS loved the adventure game genre, ever since I was a kid. I've heard of Monkey Island and Fandango, but I haven't had a chance to play them yet--like I said, college makes it hard to keep up with gaming. (Well, college and all of the other fannish things I do.) I have daydreams about having a job where I can be lazy and play through all these games like half the day, though. XD;

I know what you mean about DMC, too. I'm not a huge fan of the series myself (...I'm lazy, and those games are crazy-difficult sometimes) but I know plenty of girls AND guys who are into the series. I can definitely see how it'd appeal to both genders.

Well, should you ever get the time for it, here is a fuckton of old adventure games. (http://abandonia.com/en/game/Adventure) You'll want to get a program called DosBox to run 'em, but it's good times all over. Grim Fandango is worth every minute it takes to find a copy and play through it - one of my all time favorite games.

[haleysings.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you! <3

And yeah, I think one of my friends is a big Grim Fandango fan, too...I know she's at least a big Psychonauts fan, at the very least.

[numerousoptions.livejournal.com]

Psychonauts and Grim Fandango both had Tim Schaefer behind them, a guy who knows how to make a game witty and charming, and did so for a long time for Lucasarts, before they decided "Fuck this noise", and focused exclusively on Star Wars.

Seriously, buy, download, whatever you need to do to get Monkey Island. It's one of the highlights of the adventure game genre. Grim Fandango's story is fantastic - the actual gameplay engine needed tweaking, but holy balls everything else is great.

[haleysings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw I thing about Tim Schaefer on G4TV when Psychonauts was coming out...that's how I'm aware of Grim Fandango before. (I'd heard of Monkey Island, though, through some video game music website.) I've been wanting to play all of his games ever since.
