What Are Your Favorite Genres?

Post by **RackGaki** » Thu May 08, 2008 10:18 pm

My favorite genres are turn-based strategy games, shoot 'em ups, first person shooters, fighting games (2d & some 3d), and new school action games ala Ninja Gaiden.

Platformers(in all their different forms), beat'em ups(an of course hack n slashers), adventure/puzzle games(like Ico, Tomb Raider, Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, Primal, etc)and I also enjoy anything that reminds me of arcades. I also like rpgs but I don't play that many of them because they are far too time consuming and they are far, far, FAR too many of them. I usually just get my fix from whatever the latest Final Fantasy game is and not bother with anything else in the genre. I used to love 2-d fighters, but now it's more of a nostalgia thing.

I play games from almost any genre though, but those seem to be my favorites.

I just play ET on the Atari 2600 and nothing else. Is there anything else worth playing out there?

Oh the goodness.

Action/Adventure games are those that occupy my time the most. As far as sports games, I tend to only play the Pro Evolution soccer series and any good tennis related game. So I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Top Spin 3 tennis game.

The guy selling Atari carts at TooManyGames gave me E.T. for free!

I like fighters, rpgs, arcade racers, 2d platformers, and I'm starting to love 2d brawlers.

2-D Fighters, RPGs (preference for the ones from Japan, despite the rather abundant clichés), Action-Adventure, Lucas Arts Adventure games or their Telltale spin-offs, and Metal Gear (which is quickly becoming the mutant child of sneaking and FPS genres). Oh, and RPG-Strategy. And whatever the hell Shenmue is.

Fighters and Survival Horror are my absolute favorites. I like RPGs, but I don't have time to play them anymore. I also really like FPS titles.

racing games. I love them.

When GT came along on the playstation my dreams had been answered! Now I rate forza above the GT games, its most excellent. Only issue is you get bored quickly with goign round and round on a track.

I've been thinking about these pair of threads for the last couple of days and I'm struggling to think of a clear winner. I like most kinds of shooters, 2D fighters, arcade racing games, sandbox games, strategy, puzzle games, and lightgun games and I play a good mix of all of them so its hard to decide what I like best but since I hate fence sitters I'm going to plum for shooters, and I had to pick a sub-genre from that it would have to either first or third person.
