Action/Adventure in the vein of Devil May Cry, Darksiders, and Uncharted. I love JRPGs as well though, I just don't have quite as much time to play them as I'd like.
JRPG is my favorite genre of video game. Games like Dark Cloud 2, White Knight Chronicles, Star Ocean 4, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Legendiaand Kingdom Hearts.
Action RPGs, in the style of the Star Ocean or Tales games are my favourite, although turn based JRPGs, 2D platformers, racing sims, and arena shooters all come close. I
Usually don't stick to any specific genres when buying though, I enjoy almost any well made game that is difficult or innovative in some way overall.
Right now, I'm happy with Flight Simulator X and X-Plane 9. Those two have a long life span especially with add-ons (payware and freeware). The potential successor to FSX isn't due until 2012.
I'm waiting for Storms of War: Battle of Britain. Its predecessor (IL-2/Forgotten battles/Pacific Fighters) is getting long in the tooth.
TPS, Third-Person Action Adventure, & RPG (JRPG). I like games where I am given a character, and I can see his/her face and reactions as his/her story unfolds. I do not need to be the character, as in FPS, but I need to connect with them.
FPS Definitely. Immediate gratification for your hard work. Immensely rewarding. RPG's The most rewarding experience of them all. Seeing your character develop just doesn't get old. RTS such as Age of Empires. I never got the hang of SimCity or games of that genre. (not certain whether SimCity is Simulation)
My favourite genre (not necessarily most played one) remains 2D sidescrolling games. Mario, Castlevania, Metroid. I am super happy that these types of games are still being made
I love great racing games that are over the top, but the blockbuster FPS's often steal my attention just because I love it when multiplayer doesn't involve waiting because there's so many people playing.
It's getting more and more difficult to answer this question now because genres are changing, becoming hybrids, etc. Like Might & Magic Clash of Heroes, one of my favorite games of all-time. What genre is this? What kind of game is it? Is it a RPG? A puzzle game? A strategy game? How about Puzzle Quest? Or what about Resonance of Fate? And is Battlefield Bad Company 2 considered just a FPS or a online FPS since I only play it for multiplayer? How about Metroid Prime? Is that a FPS? So I just like whatever game I'm enjoying at the moment. Every genre has something good to offer and I'll play whatever is good.
