What is your favorite genre of games?

so....vote for your favorite genre

i kept 4 main options and an other option

feel free to mention which

also feel free post your favorite game/s of that genre if you have the time

Right now it's shmups, i can't get enough of them. Playing each difficulty one step at a time, and mastering each difficulty is ridiculously addicting, entertaining and satisfying.

RPGs and Adventure games would come second.

Racing.

I really don't have one. I enjoy most. If you go by my games list here, it's a tie between Fantasy Action Adventure and Sci-Fi Shooter.

platformer

I love shooters.

RPGs...

Platformers! In particular the Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. series with Super Mario 64 being my favorite game of all time.

Open world shooters

RPGs, hands down.

1. FPS

2. RPG

3. Action Adventure

4.RTS

5.Platformers/Indie games

JRPGs, Platformers, Puzzlers, and Action Games.

RPG and Strategy are tied for my favorite. Love games like total war, elder scrolls, mount and blade, etc etc. Also love action adventure and fps.

Strategy for me. I can spend hours on it, and I get immersed. I hate typical RTS, i.e. Command and Conquer, for the most part though.

Favourite current strategy game would be Hearts of Iron III.

1: SRPG (Valkyria Chronicles, Langrisser, Fire Emblem, Super Robot Teisen, Shining Force, Ogre Battles, etc)

2: Strategy (Shogun 2, Napoleon Total War, King Arthur The Roleplaying Wargame, XCom, Jagged Alliance 2, etc)

3 WRPG (Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout 1-2, Planescape Torment, etc)

I hate typical RTS, i.e. Command and Conquer, for the most part though.

So do I. I really don't like gathering reasources and working on building and a base at the same time. I prefer to focus on a long term plan over a map or just my unit tactics in a current battle. I do like the ones like Dawn of War 2 or Copmany of Heroes where you can focus more on the actual battle.

This may seem like an odd answer, but I like games within any genre that have rhythm to the gameplay. Whether it be a shootemup, fighter, or a game like Mario64--games where player control can be improved and developed over time, where there is a clear difference between a novice and experienced player.Heirren

JRPG
WRPG
Shooters

1. JRPGS
2. Action/Adeventure
3. Platformers
4. Third-Person Shotters 

My favorite of all time would have to be 2D Platformers/Side Scrollers in the likes of Castlevania/Mega Man.

Second would have to be JRPGs and 3D Platformers.

RPGs, easily. I don't generally prefer JRPGs over WRPGs or the other way around though. I just generally love RPG games :)

The others for me:

2. Action/Adventure

3. Strategy (RTS, 4x, TBS)

4. Fighting

5. Tie for Platformers and FPS

open world is my favorite genre and also really like action games.

ps. I swear that I have seen a lot of these threads asking this same question.

I say action/adventure because pretty much all of Rockstar's games fit in that category but I love RPGs as well.

my favorite genre is RPG, specifically JRPG.

I have to say it's a tie between WRPGs and TPS.

Easy as pie: Epic shooters, with rp elements thrown in. 

I like games in most genres, preferably Survival Horror and First-Person shooter games.

I seem to immediately think open world.

freakin' loved Fallout 3, Fallout : New Vegas, the Assassin's Creed games, inFamous games, and Batman : Arkham games, Gravity Rush, Grand Theft Auto series. just.... I have a blast in those game worlds.

behind that i guss, FPS's though unless modern military shooters at least TRY to tell a story, whether it be thought provoking as Spec Ops : The Line, or as entertaining as Black Ops 2 i'm pretty much out. and that's the crazy thing. i think you CAN do compelling stories in modern day settings, that can be either provoking or really well told entertaining. except now it's saturated with games really not telling you much about why your doing what your doing. 

but then you go into multiplayer, and i freakin' love Battlefield 3's multiplayer component. graphically it looks amazing in both single and multi, but i never went back to the single. 

after that it's action/adventures games like Enslaved, Heavenly Sword, God of War, etc. 

then the RTS/Strategy games like the Westwood Command and Conquer games, Company of Heroes, Age of Empire, Civilization, XCOM Enemy Unknown, etc. 

Strategy games. Total War, Dawn of War. So on, so forth.
