[Yogarpg]

Add genre: Fighting in games, I wanted to look for fighting games in a quick, do not know why has not, despite having several fighting games on Steam.

define fighting.
fighting can also be classified as shooting guns and stuff. depends on how you look at ti, that's why they're action categorised.

Do you actually not know what a fighting game is, or are you just being difficult? My understanding is that its an incredibly common, well understood genre label.

I mean I could similarly say "define action; all games require you to act". Or I could point out that basically all games could be said to be puzzles of some sort, or adventures, or require strategy. That doesn't stop these terms from having more specific meanings in the context of game genres.

+1 this would help to organize games. Although have in mind you already can (sort of) do this through labels.

It's a common genre on consoles but I can think of only two on Steam ( Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat ) DOA, Soul Cal, KoF etc are all console games so a specific genre for fighting on Steam would be a very short list.

Essentially the list is small, based on MC site:
http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/genre/date/fighting/pc

But I get how it makes it easy for people, either way Skull Girls is coming out that isn't on that list and there's a few free to play ones I think Archeblade (never tried that) and recent announcement:

So yea, with controller support in games, with the whole steam box idea, fighting games should be a legit genre addition to their range of items.

I primarily use other websites to see what is available and then search steam, in fact steam's advance shop search is horrible, I sometimes use google to site search the store.

Skullgirls and KOF XIII are coming to Steam, has two MKs and two Street Fighters, these are the ones I know, may have more.

Reviving this thread because this needs to be done. I love fighting games and would love to see more fighting games making its way to the PC. But if Steam doesn't even approve fighting games as an genre, how are developers and produsers like Namco gonna see that there are fighting game fans and players on the PC? I want Tekken on PC >:( (serious face)

I agree that adding a "fighting" genre is necessary. Fighting is a commonly understood niche genre on consoles and just because PC/Mac/Linux are light on this type of game doesn't mean that the few that exist shouldn't get their own space. Plus, classifying these games as "Action" is just wrong since they don't involve traditional levels. Even GOG has a "fighting" for its "Guilty Gear", "Ultimate Body Blows", and "Street Fighter" series (along with "Worms" and "Hotline Miami").

I'd agree it would be great to have a category for it in the store.

Anything with melee fighting, 1vs1 fighting like streetfighter, or brawler games like golden axe and streets of rage-like games. Or whenever they might think of it, games that got 4vs4 fighting like Powerstone or smash bros.

They can put them all under 1 genre for all I care, at least it makes those kind of games easier to find than they are now.
Heck, I even put Zeno Clash in the brawler category, despite being a first person action game, it does involve pretty much the same stuff as a brawler. Lots of punching and kicking.

It seems a bit odd to add a new genre to games on Steam after so long.

No we don't need another genre

The genre is already very much there. The only problem is the possibility to filter them out amongs the other 1000 games that is not a fighting game.

[Alpaca]

I support this

Frankly, I'm surprised to hear that it isn't one.
