Hmm, I think I am a bit stereotypical there, but I'm not sure.

I prefer retro style FPSes (nostalgia has nothing to do with this, I just got into them a few years ago). This includes Serious Sam, Painkiller, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.
However, I have a moderate disdain for RTS and JRPG games. Not that I hate them, I just would hate playing them.

My all-time favorite games consist of Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Burnout, the Fallout series, Final Fantasy, Legend of the Dragoon, Street Fighter, Call of Duty, Command & Conquer, Ratchet & Clank, Advanced Wars, and old school platformers. I'd say I don't like sports games, but I just...do. For me, if it's a good game, it's a good game. And it all depends on what sort of mood I'm in day by day.
Hell, I even play my MMORPGS. By that I mean RuneScape. Don't judge me.

I don't think it's that uncommon to like a lot of different genres. I bet most people have a few genres they don't like though. I don't see any sports games in either of our lists
I like all genres, it depends if the game itself is any good.
I never did get why reviewers say that, I only understand if they say things like "If you're an 'X' fan, then 'Y' is pretty much a clone of that." Or if they're referring to, say, Spiderman and state "If you're into Spiderman and don't mind all the bugs (mind the pun), then this is probably something you'll enjoy." then, it's fine, I guess. It's when they compare genres rather than games is when it's not.

Completely off-topic but is that Protest the Hero's album cover for 'C'est la Vie' in your display picture?AugustFall said:
Favourites would be action-RPG (Deus Ex, Stalker), adventure (Longest Journey, Monkey Island) and 4X strategy (Europa Universalis, Space Empires, Civilization).
I enjoy a blast of Counter-Strike, Quake or Rainbow 6 every so often. I love a proper tactical shooter like SWAT 4. Stealth is good, like Thief or Hitman. Also racing games. There are some great RTS games: C&C Red Alert, Total Annihilation, Empire Earth.
Flight sims and space sims are great (Comanche, Elite).
I can really get sucked in to WRPGs. I can see the appeal of some JRPGs (Persona, FFXII).
Something else I can really get sucked in to are construction games like Transport Tycoon.
The only thing I'm really not interested in is sports games. But there are a few I've enjoyed: some NFL game I don't remember what it was called, and Wii Tennis.
Basically, anything that's either super fun (for my twisted definition of fun) or has a good story, and doesn't get on my tits.

My favorite is WRPGs, and I hate JRPGs. I think that is one area where the stereotype is generally true.
I'm also a huge fan of FPS, sandbox and strategy games. Dislike racing, sports and MMO's the most.

It's the cover of Scurrilous the album with C'est la Vie on it. If you haven't got it pick it up! Their best album yet!Kekkles said:
My favorite genre, by far, is RPGs. More specifically, I favor JRPGs (whether they be Action-RPGs or a traditional turn-based affair). Other than Fallout 1 & 2, I haven't played many WRPGs.
My least favorite genre is FPSs and sport games.
Before I go talking about why I like/dislike them, I'd like to say that this is just my opinion. If you happen to like FPSs, then that's great. I don't have a problem with that. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
With RPGs, I like lengthy and multifaceted plots that take place on a grand scale, unique characters that I can build up over time, and vast worlds to explore. Compared to that, FPSs come up as boring and shallow, in my opinion.
I'm not really the first-person perspective. I like being able to see my character, as opposed to playing what seems like a floating gun... not that it matters in FPSs, as your always playing some kind of generic soldier/space marine. Aesthetically, if given the choice, I prefer swords and fantasy over guns and gritty realism.
I'll admit it's cathartic to go around shooting the crap out of stuff, to a point, but it's tempered by the fact that I'm just not very good at FPSs. More often than not, I'm the one who's getting blown up (if you've seen the "I Suck at Call of Duty" video, that's pretty much me).
No matter the genre, I prefer single-player, being pretty introverted. RPGs, among other genres, usually cater to that, but genres like FPSs seem to be focused more on the multi-player experience.
As for sports games... well, what can I say? I'm your stereotypical nerd who's never been interested in sports, whether in real life or a video game.

My favourite games are RPGS, and third person platform/action hybrids.
Least favourite, probably sports titles, but that is only because of one reason.

I Will play anything, RPG's are always first imo, i like both JRPG and WRPG, FFX and Oblivion are 2 of the best games i've ever played. i dont mind shooters, but ive grown board of CoD and BF and the like of Psydo-Military shooters, but Dues Ex 3 was amazing. and i play alot of online games, and have just got into MOBA style games. oh and TF2 is aswome
I love me some WRPGs although the odd JRPG has caught my attention (let's face it people, the pokemon games are technically JRPGs.) I'm not a huge fan of FPS's, at least not multi-player ones, aside from TF2. Strategy is very hit-and-miss but I can't get enough battle for middle earth 2.
My favourites though, are ye olde style platformers. Abe's odyssey, Braid, Limbo, these are the games of kings.

I don't have set genres for the most part. Generally, I play whatever I find fun. But I'd have to say JRPGs and WRPGs(mostly J) are the two kinds of games I find the most fun. Stealth, hack n' slash, adventure, puzzles, all of those are super fun, too. I'm loathe to play FPS games mostly because I'm terrible at them and all my friends are better, and want to play me all the time to they can win. >> As for sports games, I see literally no purpose outside of being able to experience the sport when it's not ___ season. So I don't play those.
