(Should have put an "Other" option in there. Mah bad yo)

Just wanted to see what you guys like to play. My favorite genre by far would have to be FPS, but I do enjoy a good amount of third-person games as well.

Again, I meant to put an "Other" option in, but I forgot. There are so many different genres that it would be way to difficult to name them all.

Whatever the hell Survival Horror would fall under... A/A I guess. Followed closely by JRPGs.

I really shouldn't have to repeat myself multiple times, but I will once more. "Again, I meant to put an "Other" option in, but I forgot. There are so many different genres that it would be way to difficult to name them all."

Well, I would pick "Action Adventure" because it encompasses many types, but "Third person shooter" can also fall under that too. The Resident Evil series, MGS, GTA, Mario? (I think) fall under this, so that would be my pick.

RPG. Though I am more into western-RPGs and not so much JRPGs. But that is for sure my favorite.

I like anything that's has an open world. GTA, Crackdwon, Saint's Row, Fable, etc. etc.

Dunno what category that would go in though.

I love me a good JRPG. I picked that because they're slightly better than fighting and music games on the whole (even though Stepmania rocks my pants off), which aren't on the list. And yes, I did read all your posts that said you just forgot to put in an other option, and I forgive you.

Action-Adventure.

 Zelda, Metroid, Okami, Resident Evil, God of War, Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Colossus are some of my favorites in the genre.

Close call because I like most genres of game to some degree, but I'll go with RPG, since I'm a huge roleplaying fan.

Online Multiplayer FPS is where the PWN is at!

Favs:
Battlefield : Bad Company
Street Fighter IV
GTA IV

-So I obsess over competitive multiplayer games.
-I love open world games.
-I like western RPGs with a realtime combat system. Stuff like Mass Effect or Fallout 3.
-Generally - Frist Person >>>> Third Person.
-My most important attribute for a game is : PHYSICALITY!

Physicality like in Battlefield : Bad Company's Frostbite Engine with its destructibilty.
Physicality like in GTA IV's Emotion Engine giving the virtual humanoids mass.
Achieving physicality must be a goal of every modern game. Developers pushing physicality are on the right track.
Can't wait for a engine capable of handling ricochet bullets. Now that's a feature I want to see!

So - long story short. I like my games simulating reality as close as possible. Doing incredible things in a believably simulated environment, that's what I get the most fascination from. How's that for a genre?
