The best part of this channel is that not only can you find a rare game you've never heard of, but that Eric is always on positive and creates a special warm feeling like at home!

What's so heartbreaking and sad about American McGee's Alice, that was, in my opinion, the last game that EA put out when they still sort of cared about the gamers and their consumers

Visual novel recommendations: House in Fata Morgana: Excellent dark story with mystery, and plot twist that keeps you engrossed at the beggining. Just try it, the artstyle alone is worth it ;).

Hey man, this was a lot of fun. It's always fun when people share their history with games, especially ones you don't really expect

Fighting game - Blazblue Central Fiction Rhythm game - Deemo RPG - Yggdra Union Shoot em up - Sora 2d platformer - Megaman Zero 4 Metroidvania - Blaster Master Zero 2 Party game - 100% Orange Juice Visual Novel - If My Heart Had Wings Beat em up - Gaiapolis

Eric my boi that was a very informative video. A lot of these games I never even heard about. Maybe gonna try some of them in the future.

You have very good taste in games. I like all of the ones you have mentioned.

Love your channel. You’re up there as one of my favorite you tubers. Keep up the great content my friend!!

Great video man ,keep with good stuff!

The best part of international superstar soccer deluxe was the fact you could have a dog as a referee, man i played that one to death as a child

I like to think about different angles to consider my favorites. In this one, if I'm honest, a lot of my favorites are pretty popular games... JRPG-Earthbound Strategy RPG-Ogre Battle 2D platformer-Super Mario World 3D platformer-Super Mario 64 Puzzle-The Witness Metroidvania-Super Metroid Action RPG-Zelda 2 2D fighter-Guilty Gear X 3D fighter-Power Stone FPS-Doom Shooter-Gradius II Beat 'em up-TMNT IV: Turtles in Time Run 'n Gun-Contra Board game-Culdcept Saga Visual novel-Raging Loop Gallery Shooter-'Nam 1975 Point and click-Thimbleweed Park Survival Horror-Eternal Darkness Simulation-SimCity Sports-Baseball Stars Racing-Mario Kart 8

Awesome idea for a video, always wondered what your gaming preferences were outside the RPG genre.

Fun video. Lots of good choices in here, a bunch are my favourites as well.

Amazing list, Erick. I love all of them.

This was fun to watch, I like your taste!

Grande bro me encantan tus vídeos 💪

First person shooter-Halo 3rd person shooter-Max Payne Platformer side scrolling - sonic 1-2 3rd person survival horror-silent hill 2 RPG-Grandia 2 Action RPG-Skyrim Platformer non side scrolling -super Mario sunshine

❤️ bloodstained & deathsmiles 👌

Loved the surprise, I'm a fan from Brazil!

Oh, I been waiting this video for ages...

Visual novel recommandations : - 999 : Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, it has some puzzle elements and the story is fantastic, you'll have to get the true ending though to have the full picture. - Snatcher : Just like Haunting ground this game is super expensive on the Sega CD so just emulate it. this one has some rather mediocre shooting gameplay sequances but they are scarce and far between and most importantly the story is captivating. Great selection of game btw 👌

I love your channel. Sometimes I disagree, but that's the beauty of freedom of opinion.

I randomly got the idea to search for this kind of video and I was surprised that barely anybody is making a "favorite game of each genre" list.

I can't say this is enough, it makes me happy to see someone legitimately recommend Ultra Despair Girls. I definitely recommend it as well - or, for anyone playing the Danganronpa series, to play it after the second game.

Ps2 had so many supernatural psychological Horror games in general. Really hope we get more this generation.

crash bash was a part of my childhood and still i remember how much i got angry on this game it was VERY VERY HARD

it is weird to see Erick talk about non RPG games

Fun fact: if you like fighting games Mr. Landon, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom on the Wii (strictly the U.S. version - Japan's got fully different endings) had a hidden character Joe The Condor. Beating the game with him shows Fiona from Haunting Grounds as a cameo getting saved by all sorts of stuff. Just a funny thing I came across as a completionist. I like when they do that rare shit.

Ah alice, still waiting for that rumored sequel

I didn’t expect some of those picks, some great games

I felt like a deer in headlights when I clicked play and it was immediately Erick coming at me like that

Hey Erick, great video! I don't remember the exact name, but I recall a pretty fun sports game on the SNES was this futuristic Baseball game called Super Baseball 2099 or something like that. In that game the outfielders had jetpacks so they could catch homeruns and I think the batters also had jetpacks so they could rocket to the bases lol There was also a baseball game on the NES where all of the players were robots! People who make sports games nowadays have lost the spirit of fun that they used to have lol Keep up the great work, Erick!

LOL, your sports game choice is EPIC!

My Favorite Games of different Genres Racing: Blur Fighting: Soulcalibur VI Action: DMC3 3rd Person Shooter: Gears 5 1st Person Shooter: Overwatch 2D side scroller: Dishwasher Platformer: Banjo Tooie Survival Horror: Resident Evil 4 WRPG: Divinity Original Sin 2 JRPG: Wild Arms 2 Stealth: Tenchu Fatal Shadows Beat em up: TMNT SRPG: Brigandine Sports: NBA Street Volume 2

Ultra Despair Girls is an unforgettable hidden gem and one of my favorite games last gen: writing is just incredible, finale is totally out there and even the Warhol rendition of Venice, given the low budget, is a work of art (I would say it is more a resident evil inspired game than a 3rd person shooter)

Keep going dude i love your videos 💪💪 and i still don't know whats your intro song 😁

Haunting Ground was amazing.

Thanks for this video! I actually have A Plague Tale installed, but haven't started it yet! I'll give it a try today!

Interesting choices. As someone who plays a range of genres and also games that are popular to niche, I know I'd have some atypical choices as well. Finding a hidden gem or obscure title that is your favorite can make that game feel like it speaks to you personally. In a selfish way that favorite game is yours and who cares about it being popular.

Sony needs to get their shit together and get Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose etc onto the shop or remaster these. I don't want to have to emulate, but they leave us no choice.

Bro, Duck Hunt and Mario Bros on the NES is the first video game that I ever played too! Wild hahaha

I absolutely love your channel bro! Youve played way more RPGs than I'll ever be able to afford to play but you also like some of the ones I love! Sakura Wars on PS2 is amazing! Eternal Poison, Disgaea, Persona 4, Stella Dues, the Ps2 was loaded with amazing RPGs! Plus you've mentioned games like Folklore, Neir, Drakenguard series, all great games! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Keep up the great work my man!

When you mentioned Dante's Inferno, the CC subtitled it as Dentist Inferno, which would be a great wurvival horror.

How about stealth games? I recommend "Tenchu 2". It has a great story and villain.

My fave games of every genre: RTS: Starcraft Fighting game: SSB Melee Platform: Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 RPG: Diablo 2 JRPG: Dark Souls MMORPG: Ragnarok Online Metroidvania: Metroid Samus Returns Survival Horror: Resident Evil 4 Action Adventure: Zelda Ocarina of Time Open world game: Assassin's Creed 2 Party racing game: Mario Kart Double Dash Racing Game: Gran Turismo Sports: FIFA Third person shooter: Hitman 2 Party: Mario Party Puzzle game: Braid FPS: Half Life 2

Snatcher and policenauts are my two favorite visual novel/ adventure games. I highly recommend them.

Nothing in the first-person shooter genre? The Metroid Prime series would be a good choice since it's mostly about platforming and puzzles.

I'd recommend trying 999 for visual novel. It really fit the category you are asking for.

Definitely surprised to see this title to your vid. As I was falling asleep last night I was pondering deep questions in life such as.... Does This guy play anything other than RPGs? This morning I had my answer. Thanks man I like your content. 😎👊

Fun video idea!

Great list of games 👍

Eric i really like your videos ( not just this one but every one ) you are my new revelation of this year. There's one one kind of game i didn't ear from this and that's twin stick shooter, like mine is Alienation on ps4 ( really amazing game ) so what's yours if you like that kind of game that is. 👍🤘

A Plague's Tale Innocence is fantastic. I just barely started playing it this year and it is among my favorites.

Woo. This sounds like an interesting one.

Thanks Erick, very cool video. I'm sure majority of subscribers don't mind if you'll be discuss not only JRPG's on your chanell.

Nice list! great video! I Also love Dante´s Inferno and its relation to literature. So many great games. I recommend for you Puzzle Quest, a great puzzle game with many rpg elements, If you haven´t played already.

Eric I EXTREMELY recommend "the house in Fata Morgana" for a visual novel. extremely dark but amazing characters, beautiful music, art style and writing. a masterpiece

The creator American McGee is trying to work on the 3rd installment “Alice Asylum” which is a prequel to the first game on his own with with crowdfunding and he already has a model of Alice done and some concept art done, hopefully there is some news of it at E3 😊

Hi Erick, I love the visual novel genre and if you want recommandations for the genre, I can suggest you the ace attorney series. The chapters are not too long, the cases are very unique and interesting, excellent characters and music. It made me discover the genre and I became a huge fan of the franchise. It's worth a try, trust me ;) (sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue ;p)

I love Ultra Despair Girls too! Cool video!

Give me a story and I'm interested despite the genre. The only requirement is that the gameplay has to be solid enough so it doesn't distract from the story. So yeah, I'm really not picky, I just want to experience cool worlds and narratives. Of course that means my backlog list is frigging long and I'll never ever be able to finish it, even if I had the time to play games all day, every day.

Time hollow on ds was a very good visual novel game. I enjoyed it alot.

My favorite game of every genre: JRPG: Mother 3 & EarthBound Action RPG: Xenoblade Chronicles Strategy RPG: Fire Emblem: Three Houses MMORPG: Final Fantasy XIV 2D Platformer: all 3 SNES Donkey Kong Country games 3D Platformer: Super Mario Galaxy Action/Adventure: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Breath of the Wild or Kid Icarus: Uprising SHMUP: Gradius III (PS2) Rail Shooter: StarFox FPS: No contenders yet Rhythm: No contenders yet 2D Fighter: Super Smash Bros on N64 or Ultimate 3D Fighter: SoulCalibur II, maybe Killer Instinct Gold Beat'em Up: Final Fight Hack and Slash: Code of Princess Run and Gun: Zombies Ate My Neighbors Party: Mario Party 6 Arcade Racing: Mario Kart 7 Virtual Life: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Visual Novel: only played Tokyo School Life Puzzle: Tetris & Dr. Mario Sports: Hit the Ice

Mine would be Action rpg Tales of the Abyss Strategy rpg Disgaea 2 DHD Turn Based rpg Trails of Cold Steel 3 Platformer Mario Bros 3 Puzzle Zero Escape 2 Action strategy game Valkyria Chronicles Rhythm Rhythm Thief Action Adventure Bloodborne Party Mario Party 5 Racing Diddy Kong Racing Beat em up Golden Axe 3

Great selection. I usually play two games at a time, one RPG and one of another genre. Right now I'm playing Octopath Traveler, but I'm actually really addicted to Dragon Ball FighterZ >_>

I love watching your videos! One of the best visual novels I have encountered is Steins Gate, I played it on my vita I know it's available on PC and others too. As much as you love Chrono Cross I think you will really enjoy it. Thank you!

I can't believe he didn't pick "Radical Dreamers" as his favorite visual novel game. :P

Slowly getting into Suikogaiden. Its rly nice to emulate it on mobile, carry around, read a bit once in a while. Knowing suikoden 2 so much, its crazy getting all the insides about characters or situations.

For Visual Novel I highly recommend 999 (nine hours, nine persons, nine doors). The sequel (VLR) is very good as well but 999 is a true masterpiece.

We have seen a new face of erick today

I can recommend trying Science Adventure visual novel series. It's a great sci-fi series with dark story, centered around conspiracy theories. VNs like Chaos;Head, Chaos;Child, Steins;Gate (which is actually considered a masterpiece by many).

Have you played any walking simulators at all?. Of the games you mentioned I've only played was Dantes Inferno, I beat the game and i was intrigued by the story. I have the book but i've yet to read it.

It makes me happy when one of our favorite games isn't an old school game. We still can discover new games and love them.

Nice to see some of the other games you like that aren't jrpgs! Definitely liked Dante's Inferno. Do you have a favorite real time strategy and mmorpg game?

omg yesss!! Utawarerumono getting some love my fav game series/anime

for the visual novel kind of game, i'm not a fan of the genres either but What remains of edin finch is a fantastic story!!! Apparently, heavy rain is awesome too, but one of the first scene caught me off guard and i just couldn't go back to it!

Looki to forward to that tmnt game coming later this year. Nostalgia is a powerful drug! Let's gooooo!

Nice haircut man!

Mine would be: JRPG - Final Fantasy IX or X, i can't decide WRPG- The Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall HACK'N SLASH - Bayonetta PLATAFORMER - Psychonauts FPS - Doom 2 BEAT'N UP - Does Yakuza count? If it doesn't, D&D Tower of Doom RACING - Mario Kart 8 FIGHTING - Soul Caliber STRATEGY - Xcom METROIDVANIA - Castlevania Symphony of the Night HORROR - Penumbra Black Plague

Fighting : Bloody Roar 2 Action: God of war Puzzle: professor Layton Platform: Super Mario world Racing: GT4 Stealth: MGS 2 Horror: Silent Hill 3

you may like the zero escape trilogy as a visual novel with puzzle mechanics, and I bet you'll love it if you haven't played it already.

My favorite beat-em-up is River City Ransom on the NES. So much fun|!

I had international super star soccer on my Sega mega drive😂 man that takes me back

Erick is a man of culture and has my respect.

I really need to play the P4 Arena games. I own them, just never thrown the disc in.

Please make more of these non rpg videos👍👍 very fresh👌

Those Crash games are lit

Erick, have you ever tried the Condemned series (first one is 360 exclusive, 2nd one is also on PS3)? It is first person but it’s not a shooter, it’s mostly melee combat and it’s a very dark story with horror elements.

Type-Moon's visual novels are so engaging and different from other visual novels. It's kinda hard to find any outside of Japan because they were never released in the West. Fingers crossed we get Tsukihime A piece of blue glass moon localized. It's made on PS4 and Switch and not on Windows this time. Since Melty Blood Type Lumina was announced for a worldwide release we can only hope Tsukihime get an official localization.

I love RPG's but Shadow of Memories is my favorite adventure game of all time.

Utawarerumono!! I did not expect to be addicted to it but I have.

Idk if you heard but there is going to be a ninja turtles beat em up game coming soon

Let me recommend you a game of the visual novel genre. "The letter". It is a drama and horror visual novel. Is very good; It has a great soundtrack suitable for the game and an entertaining story with various endings (good, bad and neutral). I hope you read this message and give "The letter" a taste.

You and I have very similar gaming tastes. I didn't see any RTS genre like Age of Empires or Simulation like The Sims

What shirt is that? It looks awesome!

Que chistoso lo que mencionas al final, yo justamente estaba pensando que no me gustan realmente los juegos de deportes, pero AMO Super Star Soccer, en mi caso el primero que es el que tenia y lo jugue hasta la muerte cuando niño.

I love the visual novel Loren the Amazon Princess from Winter Wolves, it got a very choice based story, somewhat tactical RPG battles and character management. There is an NSFW mode that changes the costumes of the characters making all scenes a little ankward, the regular SFW mode is the way to go, the characters look way cooler in this mode. I played in the android version back in 2014, it's very good if compared to mobile games and indie visual novels, but may fall short if compared to PC and console RPG games.

Roguelikes, music/rhythm, those extreme sports games (like Tony hawk pro skater or SSX tricky), mobas, simulation games, and sandbox games might be some other genres that you left out (or don't have any interest in)

i like that youve put bloodstained on the list for metroidvania games, bold move, have you tried hollow knight, i know its not gothic but omg its amazing
