Too broad? Many interesting games have mixed genre. Instead of straightforward RPG, RTS, FPS, when is often no need to even download it if you've played one or two most popular of them recently.
So i can't agree with it. If some expirience is incomplete then the obvious solution is to improve it.
EVE players don't have this problem. Some says that this is a pure pvp, but there's many people out there who aren't pvp players. It's hardcore PvE, in wormholes and other new stuff with all the risk, logistics and teamwork. The market and trading alone is for some are reason for playing. And a lot of professions, like exploration, mining, transporting... And comon trolling topic from those who sees only hardcore DOTA in these 2 games, especially EVE as there are more things to do and more trolls.
I didn't have any problem understanding of what Perp is about. At all. And there weren't any problems in EVE when i was 17. So it's nothing to worry about. The exact genre doesn't guarantee that all people who buy it will like it, and there's always some stupid kids who'll whine anyway.
Well, if anyone need some genre to present this game as then "too broad" might be the right one. Or just a list of other genres elements. Because it's the major thing that makes this game unique and interesting. Because if you just say "RTS", or "Action" while telling about this game to the friend, he'll show you a better mainstream "RTS" or "Action" and be right in his own way.
