Favourite Video Game Genre

[TheDarkOcarina]

Racing games are my favorite. I'm a massive F-Zero fan. These slow, easy to win, constant messing with you kart and cheesy CUSTOMIZE YOUR CAR trend in racing that WON'T STOP is driving me nuts though.

Traditional turn based RPGs are a close second.

Yea the racing games I was saying that I didnt like was mainly Forza Need For Speed and Grand Trismo

[Mass Distraction]

Horror games, definitely. I'm not really sure why, as when I was a kid I used to be too afraid to even buy one and now I'm just not really all that scared of them anymore. I guess it's just the atmosphere, the design and the struggle for survival. They tend to have pretty good stories too.

Closely followed by TRPGs. Funny story on how I got into these and RPGs in general (I never even knew Pokémon was an RPG when I was a kid). I randomly found a ROM of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance online when I was looking for games to play on my emulator. I thought it'd be nice to play a game that has Cloud (I already knew of the character but didn't know that Advance is a different Tactics) and went into it. It was so good that when I lost my saves to it I was so pissed that I went out and just bought FFVII, thus getting into RPGs in general. In any case, I just love the tactical elements of these games much more than a regular RPG gameplay.

And third would be fighters. Because why the F not.

Some of the best games I've ever played are strategy games. I'm a big fan of games like Fire Emblem or once you get into EV training in Pokemon that becomes a strategy game in itself.

But agreeing with pretty much everyone in this thread, RPG games are usually a good way to go. Ranging from things like the Tales of series to say, Borderlands.

[Awesomessprime]

Anything but realistic sports and racing games a lost art is the point and click adventure game how i miss those they used to be common place now they are a forgotten gem of greatness.

Fire Emblem is a great game when you know what its about

Of course! Story is the biggest part of a game!

It really depends on the game.

Minecraft, Angry Birds, Spore, Empire Earth, Civilization 5, Forza games, burnout games, and lets not forget the classic pong and pac-man.

Don't give all the credit to the writer.

[Hipserious]

RPGs
Turn based strategy
City builders
and 3D Platformers

[RepentantSky]

For me, it's always been about the RPG's. Dot hack, Dark Cloud, Chrono Trigger, I've played a thousand rpg's, can't get enough of them. A close second is third person shooters.

[retrolinkx]

I can never really say to be honest, I like quite a lot of Genres.

FPS, TBS, JRPG, WRPG and Action/Adventure usually come to mind.

[RyeoNox]

Hack-and-Slash action adventure games are always my favourite. RPGs comes second. I love Chrono Trigger, FF X and A Link To The Past. RPGs are fun to play, but requires a lot of time (which i don't have)

(I like stealth games too, but I just suck at them so much...)

You know, games like that slipped my mind. Still some great games out there without story don't get me wrong! But I still do have to say that story can make or break a game. It could be the best developed game ever but if the story in a game was bad and made no sense or something I'd probably step back from it.

Fair enough, though Fighting games manage to get away with it.
