What kinds of action games do people usually like to play? Do you like stealth and strategy, or pure testosterone with the big guns and all? I have a few game ideas and am wondering which one to go with. No, really, what''''s wrong with your face?

This is a nasty question, because both genres are very popular.

And in this case, you should make the genre YOU most like, because you''ll do a better job of making it.

Of course, if resources allow, try to include both!

I think someone should make a game about a fat plumber who goes around levels jumping on weird monsters and eating shrooms...

Then he has to save a fat chick from a gangster lizard!

i prefer the ''pure-blasting quaky'' kinda gamestyle but as you can see, both games make allot of money. If you manage to combine both like in RTCW did than ok

Yeah, just make whatever type of game you enjoy most. But to answer your question anyway, I personally prefer games that have some stealth and some run-n-gun. No One Lives Forever was great. Ideally, the game design would allow either type of play in any situation, though that''s difficult to pull off.
