What's a genre/plot combo that is most absent from modern games?

My vote goes to first-person tactical shooter. The last good tactical shooters are literally over a decade old now (rainbow six Siege is a hero shooter with tactical elements and blacklight(?) Was a terrible mess).

As far as plot goes, I haven't seen a tactical shooter attempt a plot that doesn't revolve around official military/police operations. I would like to see a door-kicking simulating with a story about some underground group (think Hitman)/ insurgent group

howcome theres never been an rpg where you can talk to the monsters instead of just killing them? sure defeating foes is fun and all but its something weve all done a hundred thousand times and its always the same.

on that note, howcome theres no game where you can catch the monsters and have them fight eachother?

i also think it would be interesting if there was a game where the objective was to go faster than your opponents and get to a goal area before they do instead of just killing them.

I'd like a game where you talk to your enemies while you fight them, I'm not much of a weeb so I don't know if this is common, but I watched some Jojo's bizzarre adventure and was fascinated by how much personality the enemies had during fight scenes due to the characters being able to communicate so much. A guy can lunge into the air at another guy and they'll trashtalk each other and debate about the logic of eachother's plan for a minute until he lands. This would probably fit super well in a turn based game that takes time out of the equation.

FPS RPG isekai where you're a space marine in generic fantasy Europe.

The bad guy in the world you're from is using stuff from the fantasy world to power his war devices, and you wind up there by mistake. The intro act is set in a generic military shooter, the second act is a generic fantasy world where you are the mighty and unstoppable bullet wizard, and the third act is returning to the main world to stop the bad guy who's got a horrible mix of fantasy and technology going on. Instead of the cliche helicopter bossfight you solve with rockets, it's a fire-breathing helicopter dragon being ridden by a sniper wizard.

How about a stealth game where you play as an actual hobo breaking and entering to steal shit just to survive another day

Westerns. Pretty much the genre fiction least exploited by games, only really big example ever I can think of are RDR & CoJ, with a bare smattering of less prominent games from earlier eras, like Gun, Outlaws, Dust, and Wild Arms.

Game-mechanics-wise, the deadest once-big genre has to be flightsims. When was the last time you saw something like Hellcats, Red Baron, or the Jane's games top sales charts? How long has it been since a HOTAS was seen as a necessary part of any PC gamer's rig?
