Genre Vs Type

I agree with the statement of this topic almost all games have a story either in game or on the manual and it can be simple and complex and is usually separate from the game play. Game type deals with how the game works,plays and what skills are required to play the game and play it well. while game type deals solely with how the story is told, what setting it takes, and what happens within it.  Both elements seem to influence each other in retrospect in any games. for example a game was made without a story but already has a game type, a story could be made to better fit that gameplay type. It can work in the opposite way as mostly seen in movie games where game type is added to best fit the story and how it is told.
