What does your achievement page say your favored genre and theme is and do you agree with it?

Mine says I favor the platformer genre and my favored theme is comedy. I agree with it and do enjoy comedy and platforming games above others.

Action-Adventure and Sci-Fi for me, that kind of sounds right. Action-Adventure is a pretty ill-defined term, and I'd struggle to pin down where my greatest preference for genre lies.

Action and Sci-Fi. I dunno, this is probably due to me putting off too many RPG purchases this gen (since that is my true favorite) and buying too many of whatever classifies as Sci-Fi
 
 Actually it's somewhat weird as I hate Sci-Fi and the only thing I can think of that is true Sci-Fi I have played recently is the Mass Effect series.

There's a pie chart for Steam. Just look on the left side of the page and click the tab with your Steam profile. Sometimes it doesn't load though, but a few refreshes will get it to pop up eventually.

WoW broke mine, haven't had my 360 hooked up in about 3 years, and Steam doesn't have a genre/theme stat. 
 
 
So, that's cool I guess.

@wolf_blitzer85: Yeah I noticed after a few tries, weird. Still says Action SCi FI, which is as general as it could possibly get. I like both genres, but I like a lot of genres....

Action Sci-Fi too.

Depends what they class as 'sci-fi'. Looking at my actual game list games like Mass Effect would influence the list but that's it really. I wonder though if games like the Assassin's Creed ones, Fallout (likely), Gears (der) have impacted this list.

It seems action and Sci-Fi are common and is my result. I even think I played many sci-fi games and action is so broad a term.

Actually, it doesn't say for me. :P

To be honest I'm not sure what my favourite genre is. I do enjoy platformers a lot in general, but some of my favourite games are RPGs. However, I'm not sure I wouldn't call RPGs my favourite genre as there's only a very select few which I play. Also, I do really like action games as well, e.g. Uncharted, Bayonetta etc.

Bah, I can't really pin-point it.

Shooter and Fantasy, seems like an odd set to be paired together.  I guess Fantasy is probably correct, but Shooter definitely isn't my favorite genre, it's just the most prolific.

First person shooter and sci-fi.

Well, that makes sense. It's pretty accurate, though I've been playing more of other things lately. I'm going to assume that the second thing on that list would be "RPG-fantasy".

MMORPG and Fantasy. Eh, makes sense.

I find it far more interesting to learn though that the last time I played Dead Rising and Devil May Cry 4 was January 1st 1753 though.

I also saw several games that I really should go and S rank; being just one or two achievements away.
