Genres

Well I'm sure this topic is out there somewhere, but I didn't find it in a quick search, so oh well. Here it goes, again more than likely.

What are your favorite video game genres?

I mostly play RPGs. Usually action RPGs (whether Western or Japanese) like Tales and Star Ocean as well as tactical (turn-based) such as Fire Emblem and the FF: Tactics.

Also recently starting getting into shooters, both FPS and TPS. I don't have any particular series that I like when it comes to shooters, but I've played a lot of the 360 games (e.g. Halo series, Gears series, Bioshock, Mass Effect, The Orange Box...)

I used to play a lot of adventure and action-platforming games, but not really anymore. I hesitate to say that I grew out of them, but no matter how I look at it that is exactly what I did. I think the last action-platformer I played was Banjo-Tooie back in 2000.

As for genres I don't like I HATE sports games, racing games and real-time strategy. Not sure why I threw that out there, especially considering how popular those three are, but what can I say? XD

Action and Tactical RPGs as well (Tales, SO, VP, SRW series).
Old School Shoot 'em Ups (Gradius, Thunderforce 3).
Danmaku (Touhou).
Fighting Games (Tekken 5 DR and Soul Calibur 4 atm. Sometimes SF4)
Action Games (Dynasty Warriors)
Used to play FPS when I was younger (Quake 2, Half-Life, CS, I stopped after Day of Defeat).
Used to play RTS (Dune 2 and Dune 2000)
Used to play Racing Games (Gran Turismo, Ridge Racer)
Never liked Sports Games.

You and me have the same basic taste. Now get a PS3 so I can get owned in Street Fighter 4

A few favorite genres and games:
Action Adventure- Legend of Zelda series, Shadow of the Colossus
Survival Horror- Resident Evil series, Silent Hill series
Stealth Action- Metal Gear series
Fighting- various, I suck but they're fun to play.

I'm also an RPG fan, unfortunately I don't play too many these days, I need some good RPG recommendations for PS3.
I usually pass on shooters, some are fun but the ones I truly enjoy probably fall under the action-adventure genre.

Though it's not really a genre, video games with cinematic themes are my favorite.

I like rpgs, shooters(only for the PC), strategy games for the PC, Beat 'em up(Samurai Warriors and etc)

not too keen in fighting games anymore

Fighting game FTW!!

all types of game. except for games that need you to think till your head blows up. other than that, all games are welcome, but i mostly play RPG, RTS, and SHT.

mostly i prefer action and horror game...whenever i bought the game...i'll definitely choose these two genre first...8)

RTS/TBS (Civilization, DoW , Starcraft)

First-person shooters (Modern Warfare, Bioshock, CS:S)

Third-person shooters (GoW, Max Payne, Lost Planet)

RPGS, both turn-based and real time (Final Fantasy, Tales of, Persona)

Survial Horror (Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space)

Fighting (Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Marvel Vs. Capcom)

Action/Adventure (Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Castlevania, Megaman)

Pretty much anything that isn't sports or racing.

any kind of rpg mostly (j, s, action, strategy, etc.), and then fps (bioshock) or straight-up action games (dmc, bayonetta). cant stand sims or sports games (well... except soccer, its that guilty pleasure)

I pretty much play them all, but my favorite by far are western RPGs (Think Arcanum or Baldur's Gate).

I really used to love RPGs and I still do, but they're starting to grow a bit stale for me since I just don't have the time to put into them anymore. I'm starting to lean towards action based RPGs because I like moving around while making my attacks (although this can fail hardcore if the interface is bad).

I REALLY like fighting games especially Final Fantasy: Dissidia, Hentai Soul Calibur 4, and doujin fighters like Valkyrie Fight Tag and Vanguard Princess. Any fighting game that incorporates a good level of Yomi into the mix will get my attention :)
