What's your favourite genre in gaming

Over the course of many years as a gamer I realized certain gaming genres don't appeal to me anymore then when I was younger. This days, good RPG and Action Adventure (mostly third person games) seem to be my preference over the FPS, Sports and Racing.

I used to be a die hard rpg fan back in the ps1 ps2 era.

Now im more of a adventure fan. It doesn't matter what sub genre is it. I like RAGE, Far Cry 3, Darksiders, War in the North, Sleeping Dogs ect. As long as there is a adventure to be had, I like it. RPG's offer adventures but they are kind of dumb this gen.

I still would be playing the rpg genre, but they are way to far and few between. I'm gonna get Ni No Kuni just for the nostalgia I'll get from it.

Good point, adventure seems much more appealing to me as well. Mostly because of the time restraint with work family, etc. I had been spending some time with God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta and to be honest, it's very fun. I spend around half hour-40 minutes on 2-3 matches and I walk away satisfied.

Third-person shooters like Uncharted, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect, InFamous, Resident Evil and Dead Space. I also like action/adventure games with RPG-like upgrade elements like Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I am hoping Tomb Raider and Dead Space 3 fill that void for me soon.

Also I really don't like FPS, but I will tolerate it occasionally in games like the Bioshock and Borderlands series.

Platformers

JRPGs, Action games, Platformers, and Puzzlers.

1. RPG
2. Hack and Slash/Action adventure
3. FPS

Hmm....hard to say really. I really like RPG's and Open-World games, but I enjoy pretty much anything, one of my favorite game this gen is Uncharted which is Action-Adventure.

RPGs are probably my favorite, although open=world action games are pretty close on the list. I enjoy shooters too. Really anything so long as the game itself is good.

I like FPS.

I've put other even tho at the moment I enjoy action adventure third person games at the minute and just got through hitman and still have to play mass effect but my true gaming passion is adveture games like broken sword, monkey island, beneath a steel sky, grim fandango, im dreaming of a day these types of games come back around I mean seriously does every game with a story have to have guns and violence in them, I dont mind the guns and violence there enjoyable but come some true creative writing and funny stories and worlds wouldn't go a miss. Here's for hoping the new broken sword is going to be awesome.

My favorite Genre is "Shoot them up" but they really don't make them anymore. So action adventure in Modern times.

A good Mix out of everything.

I love rpg games. If combined with open world it's even better. I like action/adventure a lot, too.

While I was use to linearRPG's back in the day I have to admit, Skyrim was a great game with open environment.

I play just about any type though my favorites are Action-Adventure & Platformers, Then RPGs & FPS.

Well my favourite game franchise falls under a strange category: RTS/Action adventure

Overall, however, I enjoy

-Platformers

-Action Adventures

-Hack n Slash

I tend to enjoy action-adventure and platformers the most.

Platformers

Been playing a lot of RPG's lately. Reasons being that

A) everything's a sequel these days, and since I haven't played many RPG's in the past, at least these games are still new to me.

B) I love action/adventure but most of those games have been bastardized into some Call of Duty wannabe and the addition of multiplayer - and all the time and effort that doesn't go into the single player campaign because of it - has pretty much ruined them.

I also enjoy driving sim's, but of course we only got one Gran Turismo game this gen and that was over two years ago, and EA seems to have cancelled the Need For Speed: Shift games so I'm s*** outta luck.

Action-Adventure and RPGs.

I would love to see another GT release on PS3 but I strongly believe Polyphony Digital is working on it for the next PlayStation. I gave up on Need for Speed series after Hot Pursuit 2 which was all the way back in 2002.

First Person Shooters / Racing.

Action-Adventures, Role Playing Games and First Person Shooters rule the roost for me.

I'm an RPG type BUT! i cant really play one RPG after another. They take a lot of time i don;t really have so between them i play Platformers, Racing games and Action games like GTA. Of course they all take time but there is not so much story and lore like in a good RPG game. I also like to go with Survival Horror games if they are done right.

That would be JRPGs.

I have been playing JRPGs often, action adventure rocks too, stealth action is probably most interesting though.

Platformers.

RPGs (more specifically JRPGs and SRPGs)

Action/adventure (thought that's a very broad genre)

Open-world

I have a 3 way tie. Action Adventure, RPG, and Hack n slash(God of War, Darksiders etc.). Then First person & 3rd person shooters and survival Horror tie for 2nd.

Racing & Fighting games I have absolutely no interest in playing.
