Poll: What's your favorite game genre?

**harrymckey** · 01-03-2011, 11:33

I love to play games online whenever i have time in the day time and i always play games at night for 2-3 hours. I love role playing games like prince of Persia. My sister always plays girls games online.

RPG is by far my favorite, but if i could select multiples I love sims, historical, and strategy as well.

Strategy games are fun, I like alittle arcadeyness thrown in though. I get lost in too much micromanaging.

I love role playing games like prince of Persia

I have only played the original. 2D scrollinglike. Lots of fun, took me a long time to complete it. Fencing someone into those crashing death jaws was a gas!

The only RPG I really like is the Mass Effect series, and thats a RPG/FPS Hybrid.
Strategy games are fun, but they need time and I dont always have time.
I really enjoy FPS, but ones with depth like Ghost Recon. COD is fun but not for long.

I like a really engaging game regardless of genre. I have favourites from all the genre's on the list. If I was forced to pick I'd probably go with RPG, but I just really love big immersive games that I can get lost in.

Even though this is a very old, old thread.

I want to like RPGs. I really do. I just can't.

Strategy would be mine.

It took me quite a while to think about this and I struggled to narrow it down to a single genre, but I just ended up looking over the games I can remember playing most over the last year or so and went from there.

Given that I played alot of Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Fallout throughout 2010, it's obviously roleplaying games; I'm not really fond of JRPGs like Final Fantasy though... I'm more of a Bioware/Blizzard/Bethesda gal.

A close second would be action/adventure or music/rhythm games; I'm enjoying alot of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Rock Band 3 at the moment. :3

I always love role playing games because i have much confidence in myself and when ever i have time i love to play games online and mostly i played girls games.

Given that I spent the whole weekend playing Dragon Age, and other RPGs have drawn me in in similar ways, it has to be roleplaying games. I've never really touched a JRPG though.
I would however wish for a bit more variety as well, so many of the ones I played had a variation of the "order vs. chaos" thing, like there are no other things to decide between.

I was split between RPGs and strategy but reasoned that I like RPGs that have strategy elements and am not half as keen on those that i.e. only feature one player customisable/controllable character. I guess it all blends when you get to leveling and skills, but its always the "how can I best make my character/squad/party" that I like best about RPGs. I get tired of RTS' pretty quickly though as they are a) mostly about micro managing and b) so short sighted. I really like to have a grand startegy -be it planning a character for 30 levels of hack'n'slash or (even better) a world map to paint in my faction's colour.

Fallout: New Vegas seems to have choices of grey or gray, that's about it; I found it difficult to find solid black and white choices like you do in Mass Effect or Dragon Age.

I used to devour FPS games then I changed to RTS but now I play games like mass effect, half life and the old deus ex.

Basically I want to be told an interesting story.

My mind gave me a list of those games which have taken up the greatest portion of my life with my knowing and loving consent, and I have come to the conclusion that I am an RPG person with strategy coming in as a close second. If the two are combined, my life is amazing for many many hours.
