It depends on my mood, personally, but which gaming genre do you like the most?

EDIT: If you have other choices, list in the comments.

 

[Dacvak]

Platformers for sure. Also Metroidvanias.

 

[StereoVsn]

Strategy and in particular Grand Strategy for me. Nothing like conquering Europe or Asia over a few hundred year period.

This is followed by RPGs (CRPGs, great Western RPGs aka KCD 1&2, ME series).

 

[Zacfoldor]

RPG

That's literally me on the left.

 

[EerieArcade]

Horror.

 

[bender]

I'm not sure I really have one, but my least favorite genre is strategy as I'm completely inept at playing them.

 

[Lightbreak]

Metroidvania

 

[Laptop1991]

RPG.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Is Racing sports or other??

 

[pudel]

multiple choice would have been better.

I like RPG, shooter, strategy and sports.

I dont like fighting, platformer, puzzle and rhymes.

 

[ssringo]

Metroidvania. Action RPG.

 

[Shifty1897]

I have played a stupid number of JRPG's in my lifetime, so probably that.

 

[Trilobit]

Platform-adventures and cowboy-simulators.

 

[dgproject]

Other - detective genre, and they may come from plentiful of gameplay, like LA Noire, Judgement from Sega, Raidou from atlus, Layton, Ace attorney, hotel dusk, disco elysium, or simple point and click games like paranormasight or detective pikachu.

 

[The_hunter]

Action

 

[The Cockatrice]

Take a guess.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Western RPG and Survival Horror.

Things like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Resident Evil.

 

[GymWolf]

Open worlds action rpgs\adventures and immersive sims i guess.

 

[GymWolf]

Take a guess.

Games with colorful covers?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Games with colorful covers?

Close, games where I can bang women.

 

[ToneyJ]

Action games.

 

[R6Rider]

It's in between RPG and Shooter for me.

I'll go with RPG though.

 

[TintoConCasera]

"Dude with a sword"

 

[xrnzaaas]

A tie between racing games, stealth games and immersive sims.

 

[TheSweeper]

RPGs. Preferably with more than 50h of playtime.

 

[Baemono]

Platformers. That's basically what « video games » means to me

 

[intbal]

Business simulations

 

[pudel]

Business simulations

Not sure if thats a joke, but I actually adore these economy simulators as well. (SimCity, Cities Skylines, Transport Fever etc.)

 

[Alebrije]

RPG , speciallly Open world dark fantasy ones.

 

[Zannegan]

I don't love pure RPGs as much, but I love games that mix genres and have RPG progression (Igavanias, FPSs, ARPGs, open world, etc.) If I'm gradually unlocking gear or powers while also having some degree of choice and a good movement system, I'm a happy gamer.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

RPG with favourite sub-genre being cRPG. Closely followed by Strategy. If a game has both - Oh boy!

 

[hangdang69]

The answer is, more and more these days, Metroidvanias. OTher than that, I love action/adventure games, but the recent deluge of (Sony) 3rd person narrative movie games from Sony has me getting a bit bored of them. I love Fromsoft games, but my patience for the megahard bosses and beating my face against a wall over and over till I beat it is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I love everything else about those games and it's not enough to turn me off of them.

Metroidvanias just kind of tick all of the boxes for me lately and they're all i find myself wanting to play. I'm looking forward to Crimson Desert but I'm not sold it'll be any good. Waiting for reviews.

 

[T4keD0wN]

CRPGs or Immersive sim

Being hard to make and usually not being as profitable as other genres at least comes with the upside of meaning theyre nearly all great passion project that arent ruined by investors.

 

[HYDE]

Action Adventure games.

 

[GymWolf]

"Dude with a sword"

Sounds gay.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Souls-likes. Metroidvania. Platformers. Jrpg. Third-person action. Horror. Point and click.

 

[IAmRei]

mostly game where You can explore, combined with rpg is fine. nowadays i'm more to action, action adventure.
but last two months, i spent with turn based rpg. depending on the mood. but I like non linear lately.

 

[Danjin44]

JRPG
Tactical RPG
Survival Horror games
Action & adventure games
point & click adventure (similar to Ace Attorney)
2D&3D Platformers.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Sounds gay.

I think that's what doctors refer to as "selective hearing".

 

[Alpha Male]

Yes



No, for real, I don't think I could possibly pick a favorite as I play such a wide range of games and genres but I generally love:

Shooters
RPG
Action Adventure
Strategy
Sports
Survival
Racing

 

[intbal]

Not sure if thats a joke, but I actually adore these economy simulators as well. (SimCity, Cities Skylines, Transport Fever etc.)

Not exactly a joke. I do love the simpler ones, like Lemonade Stand, SimGangster, etc. Single screen games, basically.
But, honestly, my favorite genre would be FPS immersive sims (all five of them).

 

[Represent.]

Over the shoulder, story driven, cinematic, incredible graphics + simple effective gameplay..

Or

Amazing artstyle, open immersive world, action/fantasy combo.

Or

Pure fucking combat driven, everything else secondary.

Depends on my mood and what Im feeling. I love all of these equally

 

[jshackles]

Definitely RPGs. Has been my favorite genre for over 40 years now.

Not sure if thats a joke, but I actually adore these economy simulators as well. (SimCity, Cities Skylines, Transport Fever etc.)

This shit hit hard back in the day

 

[cireza]

RPGs and Tactical RPGs. Played a ton of them and still do.

 

[pudel]

Definitely RPGs. Has been my favorite genre for over 40 years now.


This shit hit hard back in the day

Railroad Tycoon, Theme Park, Sim Tower, Rollercoaster Tycoon...I loved them all.

 

[Inanilmaz]

Nr.1 -Adventures/Point&Click/ Exploration basically. Where i like the atmosphere ofc. (Mostly Japanese type of games)

-Games where you just fukk all enemies up with great satisfaction & stress lowering effect

-Where i can let my Minions/Summons fight for me or besides me.
& Tower Defense

- Scary games that can be played coop.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Probably shooters, but adventure and RPGs are right there. Platformers high ranking as well.

 

[FauxXeno]

J-rpgs, c-rpgs, action rpgs, mmorpgs , tactical rpgs . Before games like Super Mario RPG and Phantasy Star 4 peaked my interest in the genre then FF7 and Xenogears cemented it I used to love fighting , puzzle, side scrollers and generally loved going to the arcades and playing everything

 

[Humdinger]

RPG.

You're missing a big one, though: action-adventure. That would be my second pick.

 

[mdkirby]

Where's walking simulator or detective games
