Action/Japanese RPGs.
Other than that some stealth.
Im glad these types of games are seeing a resurgence.

JRPGs/ARPGs followed by Beat em Up/Brawlers (God Hand, Yakuza series, etc.), and platformers/action adventure tied since those were the genres I grew up with and continue to enjoy to this day.
WRPGs are cool too but I haven't played that many so I can't say. I immensely enjoyed Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, and the Mass Effect series. Also a special shout out to arcade style shooters such as Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Bulletstorm for being incredibly fun and satisfying games to play.

Console air combat simulation games. The more realism the better.
No doubt the genre hit its prime with the Ace Combat trilogy for PS2. Everything Gaijin makes is great too. Everything else is hit-or-miss but I'm very into the the low poly, choppy flight sims that appeared on the Genesis just because its so interesting to see such an abundance of that type of game on such primitive hardware.
A close 2nd for me.

3rd person action adventure.
soul reaver, dmc, god of war, uncharted, max payne, pursuit force.

Surprisingly, today I'd have to say Roguelikes. I'm really getting into the brutally challenging randomness.
Currently playing Distant Star: Revenant Fleet, a sci-fi roguelike I picked up on a whim. Pretty good.
Next genre up would be WRPGs
My most played game is Mechwarrior Online, but the fps online shooter genre is not on my list.

is it wrong that i consider Platformers Action Adventure games? One of my all time fave games is Jak and daxter, i consider it an open world Action adventure...
This is pretty much me as well, though I have missed a few notables like Alpha Protocol. I will rectify this sometime within the millenia, if Death does not claim me first.
Though I do enjoy games from a wide variety of genres.

I dunno. Some platformers definitely fit the adventure criteria (mainly 3D ones), but many don't. I don't think considering them Action Adventure is wrong per se, but I personally see Action Adventure as something like Okami, Beyond Good & Evil, Zelda, etc.

RPG's and stealth games. I have warm fuzzies for all RTwP cRPGs, and those are among my favorite games to play. I do however enjoy pretty much all kinds of RPGs to one extent or another. There aren't many JRPGs that turn my head, but the one's that do are among the best games I've played.
I hold a very special love for Deus Ex and everything that tries to be like it (Vampire, System Shock, Alpha Protocol) since they let me mash together RPG and stealth games. Probably why I've played DE, SS, and Vampire more than a dozen times through together. Though I also enjoy more pure stealth games, Thief (2 is really the only one I love), Splinter Cell and of course Metal Gear Solid. Ghosting a game is among my favorite challenges, even if the game doesn't focus on that element (MGS and Dishonored come to my mind here)

The two great pillars for me are turn-based strategy (and years ago I would have specifically said 4X, though I don't keep up with it as much these days) and platformers (particularly from Nintendo, and moreso in 2D than 3D). In both cases I've taken the time to master many of the landmark titles and figure out what makes them click in terms of mechanics and design, although one respect in which I cannot claim to be a platforming expert is that I am not a speed-runner.
Back in the 1990s, point-and-click adventures and text adventures would have belonged here too, but I haven't spent nearly as much time exploring the modern descendants like Telltale or the interactive fiction crowd, respectively.

I've been playing sports games since Electric football and slot racers. At that time we used tape recorders to conmentate our games, and stacks of notebook to keep stats. That led into all manner of tabletop baseball games.
That led to the gear sports games of the Intellivision and all of the handheld led games. Name a platforms, and I've probably played baseball, football, or basketball on it, from text-based and management Sims to action games with controllers.
I used to try to play all of the other games, but a few years ago I decided to just embrace being a sports gamer. I still play other games, but I have stable of sports games at all times.

I'd say "survival horror", or "arcade". Survival horror type games- usually I over-conserve and end up finishing most of them with a crap ton of ammo and I don't really "scare" easily.
Arcade games (primarily shooters. The "real" kind
). I love that I can beat one in under an hour. Practice for a few minutes. They're deeper than most people give them credit for and it's a type of game that hasn't gone out of style for me- even though they have for most of the general population.

I play through at least three eroge per month. So that makes me some kind of eroge-master...I guess.
Sandboxy building games seem to be the games I sink a ton of time into without realizing it. The key for the ones that hook me are that you are building towards a specific purpose, not just building for the sake of building something.
Examples:
Space Engineers (build ships to mine ore, process it and use it it build bigger ships)
Kerbal Space Program (build rockets to get into orbit, travel to planets, etc)
Infinifactory (build factories to transform input(s) into desired output, aka 3D spacechem)

My genre would be Ubisoft, The Game 
I kid, I kid...
My genre would be third person action games, heavy on story with RPG elements if applicable.

RPGs. Even though I pretty much never get to finish them anymore, I will always go back to this genre to try a bit of anything.

I'm a jack of all trades.... Well, most trades.
Platformers, racers, shooters, RPGs and strategy games are my favorites.
