Videogame Genres, which do you prefer?

[Elynoire]

Personally I like all types but I do sway towards Survival Horror and have amassed a large collection of related games My favorite series include (but aren't limited to ) Silent Hill Series, Fatal Frame series and the Siren Series!
I also love the Animal Crossing series...obviously ^^

What's your favorite Genre? Specific series? Do you prefer to play the same types of games?

 

[mariop476]

I like Platformers, Puzzle games, Roguelikes, and RPGS, I'm also a big fan of TF2, even though I don't care for FPS's in general.

 

[xseed]

I like any rpg though my most fave rpg would be jrpgs. I also like platformers,action,some shooting games,racing games,fighting games,ect ect

 

[SockHead]

RPG's and Action & Adventure games for sure. I don't really like FPS's after playing CoD and getting it out of my system.

 

[superheroantics]

I'm with you on horror OP, but I love me some platformers, fighting, and RPGs that don't use turn-based fighting.

 

[Wish]

RPGs and MMPOs

I really prefer all types of genres. It just has to be a specific game in the genre that suits my tastes. However, I really like crossgenres (is this a word? lol) where they mix two genres together like they did with Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure.

I love horror when it's the psychological kind. Blood and guts are okay, but I want to feel my skin crawl and freak out at the smallest noises in my room. I also love rpgs, puzzles, platformers, side scrolling shooters. Favorite examples: Rule of Rose, Earthbound, Prof. Layton, Megaman 9, Ikaruga.

 

[Lurrdoc]

Fighting games are my preferred genre. I'll play a lot of other stuff, though, that highly varies in genre.

 

[beffa]

I think action? That's what Zelda is apparently... Although I think it's more of an RPG/adventure... That and whatever animal crossing is.

Rule of Rose was great! I loved the story but the fighting mechanics were horrible and annoying and it killed the game for me in a sort. I don't find many people who have played this game.

I think I know what you are talking about as far as crossgenres! In a way, lol.

I am with you on the FPS' though I do enjoy them from time to time, with moderation.

 

[Puddle]

I love me a good adventure game/rpg game! MMORPGS are also so much fun, but they are very addicting and time consuming.

 

[demoness]

Western RPGs, Stealth, Action-Platformer, Action-Adventure, TPS, FPS, Hack and Slash, and JRPGs to be most specific, but I've enjoyed all sorts.

 

[Napoleonic]

I like platformer / beat-'em-up games a lot. Hack and slash and shooter MMOs are fun for me to play with friends.

 

[bittermeat]

Anything with open worlds, primarily action and adventure RPGs.

I'm a big life simulation fan as well.

 

[Volvagia]

RPGs/JRPGs, visual novels, puzzle, strategy, action/adventure, horror and simulation games.

 

[Leanne]

RPGs, Visual Novels, and generally anything that has fantasy in one way or another. Involved music topics, and I will the game.

Eternal Sonata is an RPG that takes place in Chopin's dream. As such the game is beautiful both visually and musically. I was obsessed with that game for like a year for mixing music and RPG so perfectly.

 

[Midoriya]

I usually prefer RPG's. Sometimes I will play outside of my box though. In the past year I've just recently got into some RPG's like Fire Emblem Awakening and Shin Megami Tensei IV.

 

[idiotcurl]

Sandbox/life simulation is easily one of my favourite genres. Give me Animal Crossing, Minecraft, The Sims, or anything similar and I'll sit down and probably not stop playing until someone forces me to turn it off and eat/sleep.

I love horror games, too. For some reason, pixel horror like Ib or Ao Oni tends to be the scariest for me. I guess its because the less graphics, the more is left for my imagination?

 

[Sheepish]

RPGs (mostly JRPGs), action/adventure games, and platformers are my usual genres of choice. The occasional visual novel and puzzle game are fun as well.
