What is your favorite gaming genre?

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2003-07-30 02:32am

FPS, Street Fighter-style fighting games, RTS's, RPGs, Diablo-like games, etc.

What's your favorite?

As for me, now that I think about it, it's FPS games.

Toss up between flight sims and RTS

FPS. I like RTS too (/me == CnC junkie), but I haven't played much recently. I play a litte bit of web-based strategy games, that might count.

Toss up between FPS, RPG, and adventure. (Adventure meaning, Lucasarts style.)

Real strategy like HoI, EUII, Legion, American Civil War, Panzer General III, etc. not RTO like Starcraft though I do like RTO very much.

Strategy. I've enjoyed all Civilization games I've been able to play, own both Age Of Empires games, (although none of the expansions) and I've also tried out "Homeworld: Cataclysm" and found that entertaining as well.

RPG's all the way! Unless someone comes out with a super fast pased action game, then I'm stuck to playing that 24/7. (Like ZOE, or DevilMayCry)

DeadM · Post by **DeadM** » 2003-07-30 03:22am

FPS, RPG and RTS.

Sometimes I like to play FPS's the most, sometimes RTS, but in the past days I have been more of an RPG guy.

Post by **Dalton** » 2003-07-30 03:36am

RPGs, bitch. Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Skies of Arcadia. Saving the planet from the comfort of my chair. Bring it on!

Also into adventure games too, especially Zelda, Mario and Metroid. I grew up Nintendo!

Companion Cube · Post by **Companion Cube** » 2003-07-30 03:43am

FPS, and sometimes RTS.

I love FPS and RTS, and some Flight Sims are awesome. The only RPG I ever liked was Dungeon Siege, but I plan on liking KOTOR as well.

Lord of the Farce · Post by **Lord of the Farce** » 2003-07-30 04:53am

FPS, RPG, and space-sims.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2003-07-30 05:07am

Real-time strategy, mofos.

C&C? I'm there.
Starcraft? All over it.
Warcraft ('cept three. You can shove that up your tailpipe)? Bitchin'.
Dune? Awwww yeah.

And Unreal Tournament. Most FPS's suck. UT rocks.

Warspite · Post by **Warspite** » 2003-07-30 05:17am

military RTS (no fantasy or medieval sub-genres, though), tactical shooters, space and (sometimes) flight-sims.

Batman · Post by **Batman** » 2003-07-30 05:41am

RPGs, mostly. Tactical squad games, back when they existed.
I even dabble in RTS every once in a while (I'm technically currently playing WCIII...)

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-07-30 06:52am

Hm, lets see....top of the pile, RPG's....always my favourites....these days I'm not too fussed with the offerings in the other genres I like but RPG's still keep me glued to the moniter.....
As for other types...old lucasarts adventures....and old squad based tactical games both have places in my heart......and when I am in the mood strategy games can keep me enthralled....

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-07-30 08:18am

Console RPGs of the Japanese variety. Computer RPGs have never really done it for me.

Post by **Edi** » 2003-07-30 08:53am

Turn based strategy, FPS.

RPG=Diablo II and the like and RTS=Age of Empires II-The Conquerors. That game pwns SC.~Jason.

Never call Diablo II an RPG, lest I hurt you severely.

RPG= Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, to name the recent good games in the genre.

Dialbo II is an action click fest masquerading as an RPG.

Sorry...9:30 in the morning here. I meant Delta Force and the like.~Jason I was playing it and I must've put it there...
Edit: Can't even finish a sentenced..

By accident.

GARRR DF is a FPS!!!.....I'm hopeless in the morning. I'll think when I get my lunch.

Turn-based strategy.

Sir Sirius · Post by **Sir Sirius** » 2003-07-30 10:32am

Turn-based Strategy and RPGs (Baldur's Gate Etc.).

Damaramu · Post by **Damaramu** » 2003-07-30 10:33am

Hmmm.....in order:

Fighting games- KOF, Street Fighter VS series, etc.
RPGs- particularly Japanese console style.
Adventure- Metal Gear Solid, Maximo, those types of games.
Quirky Games- Think Mr. Mosquito, Mad Maistro, Parappa, etc.
FPS- Jedi Knight, Elite Force
Stategy- Stuff like Armada (w/ the SW vs ST mod of course), the Sim series (Sim City, Sim Golf, etc)
Everything else- Anything else I missed, like Flight Sims or the occasional sports (Dreamcast DAYTOOOONA!!)

It really depends on my mood. One day I'll be in a fighting game mood....the next I'll be hankering for Ace Combat 4. This is why I own so many fucking games.

RPG's.
