Poll System Wars Favorite Genres (59 votes)

Shooter 14%
RPG 39%
Simulation Games 3%
Action-Adventure 14%
Puzzle 0%
Platformer 10%
Racing Games 0%
Fighting Games 5%
Multi-Genre (For games that do not fall under these categories or implement multiple genres) 15%

To make the genres more broad I am making them more general, for example instead of listing First Person Shooter, 3rd Person Shooter or Rail Shooter, I'll just list "Shooter".

Same goes for RPG, instead of listing Action-RPG, MMO RPG etc. I'll just list "RPG".

I'm just trying to fit all the core genres into one poll to see what people prefer. I will say again that this is "favorites" so to spew hate at someone because of their tastes than I give all users the right to flame the people bringing that said hate.

As for me I have many genres that interest me. To pick a favorite, almost depends on the mood I am in. But currently, the genre I consider an art would have to be shooter. Now I know there are PLENTY of generic games that fall under this genre but there are def great experiences to be had. More specifically I really enjoy Survival-Horror 3rd Person shooters like Resident Evil.

I know I will probably miss out on 1 or 2 main genres but don't hate me for it I'm just making a poll lol.

Again just people's preferences.

Action Adventure would probably be my best bet. But I don't judge games by arbitrary genres.

A very large part of the games I like a lot are Action Adventure titles. But then there are indies, gritty shooters, strategy games, open world games, that step all over them.

Holy crap! Are You my lost Twin? lol

That's pretty much what I enjoy! Save for Run n Gun, I'm not familiar with that. Are Rambo III (genesis), Contra III Alien Wars (snes) examples of that genre?

lol, but yeah, Contra, Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug, and so on, are run 'n gun.

This is a tough one. I love TPSs and FPSs equally and I really like RPGs too. There has yet be an RPG with a good tps and fps mechanics but that would be my favorite genre.

RPG, MOBA, action/adventure (yes I know that's an ultra broad category, w/e), fighters and after ignoring it for years I've lately been loving all sorts of strategy games.

Read what I said, they're very general genre categories. Is MMORPG considered an RPG? Because I listed it, and warned that that would be how the poll worked.

The whole reason was to just see what a small group of people chose and what they said about em. Shooter have a lot of popularity for example.

As a mature gamer who primarily plays pc games designed for adult minds, strategy titles are appealing due to the substance they contain console games lack.

Sadly, due to the moderation of games, I cannot, in good faith, declare RPG's, due the dumbing down. 1999 is a bygone era. These are dark times.

RPGs for me followed by action adventure, especially hybrids of the two.

Not just RTS but the strategy genre in general,it´s one of the biggest and most popular genres in gaming with games like League of Legends(the most played game in the world) Dota,Starcraft,The Sims,Warhammer,Total War,Civilization...it´s a huge oversight.

Also no adventure game? One of the oldest and classice genres of gaming?

Sometimes it´s better not to make a thread about something if it´s gonna end up with huge omissions like these,do it right or don´t do it at all,in the past where you could only use 5 poll slots that would be excusable but now that there´s no limit for the poll options it just isn´t.

Platformers. It's 100% platformers. I don't think there is another genre out there that puts the player in such a close conversation with the game designers. It's that direct interaction with the creators' craft that pushes this genre above all others for me.

I used to be really big into RPGs when I was younger but have since grown away from them. I prefer my personal skill to matter more than the stats or build of the character.

Action-Adventure is probably my top as it is such a broad category. On one hand I have Uncharted (which you could place as a TPS or Shooter I suppose) and then you have Batman: Arkham, The Legend of Zelda, etc. Definitely my favorite.

RPGs are probably up there as well.
