It's not a new thing, all the original dungeon crawlers were first person affairs. (Dunjeonquest, Wizardry, etc)

Lol why not, throw another genre at it.

is it a dating sim yet?

I want my favorite game to be EVVVERY GENRRE.

Now Elder Scrolls, Metroid, AND PSO are in the same genre.

May as well stop beating around the bush and make the universal genre of "Video Game" :wink:

I secede, the defense's case is too strong.

I shall, from this point forth, only refer to the genre of the game in question as:

"Action/Adventure/RPG/ActionRPG/DungeonCrawly/Puzzle/DatinSIM/FishinSim/HorseRidinSIM/JarCollectingSIM/SilentProtagonisty/FuckinFaires"

I seriousley think its an action rpg/hack and slash/puzzle/dungeon crawler/ quest /fantasy/adventure game -but thats just me :D (link to the past)

but you could say some of the newer zeldas are bug hunting games if theres a genere for that.

well you could even say its a shopping game, you kill enemies for a living, and buy stuff to kill more enemies with :D
