Poll: Your "Pet" Genre?

[Siris]

Erotic Puzzle games that are also Dating Sims. This is a genre that does not get enough respect

Why did you spilt up RPGs. Together they would be my favourite, but spilt RTS wins over both.

Because I've never really been that "into" JRPGs, and wanted to see which type was more popular, with starting a flame war with a thread named "WRPGs Vs JRPGs"

I KNOW!!! SlutMathcraft is the greatest game ever!

I said WRPG, but it is more of a fascination with sandbox games. I love the GTA series, Elder Scrolls, Just Cause, Saints Row, etc. Ultima Online was one of my first sandbox experiences and I spent a huge portion of my life playing it.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

I've always had a soft spot for open world sandbox games ever since I played the Take a Ride mode in the first Driver game on the psone. Love them because you can spend a quick half an hour just messing about or spend hours exploring the world.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

Action Adventure games, things like Uncharted 2, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2, Batman AA, and Assassin's Creed 2.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Also, while I don't play many of them, when I do end up finding a JRPG that I really like, I'll get pretty addicted to it.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Shooters, Action and Adventure. Halo and Oblivion-Skyrim all the way.

 

[Continuity]

43% WRPG oh my oh my we are nerds aren't we

My main two genre are WRPG and FPS, though I play anything good and i'm quite partial to turn based strategy. My "pet" genre though, if I have to choose one, is WRPG for sure.

RPG. JRPGs and WRPGs aren't nearly as different as people seem to think they are.

But whatever, I'll go with JRPGs if only because I've enjoyed them a lot more than their Western counterparts this year.

 

[Winterfel]

JRPG
Final fantsy 8,9 & 13
Baten Kaitos
Eternal Sonata
Magna Carta 2

Yeah I know 13 might've not been a master piece but it's just one of those games that I like and everyone else hates. The thing is that I can clearly agree with all the reasons people hate it, but they just don't bother me THAT much.

JRPG's! I've loved them since I was a kid. My favourites include the Mana series and Final Fantasy IX. Not really excited for any new games, mainly because I have no idea what's coming out.

Research Atlus, then get all of their (highly rated) games. Thank me later.

 

[superstringz]

Econ-sims like SimCity, railroad tycoon.

I also like WRPG, but I can't stand JRPG

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

RPGs. No, I'm not going to specify which subgenre. I just really like RPGs. 3 out of the 4 games I'm currently playing are RPGs.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Action Adventure, Favourites this Console gen have been ACII/Brotherhood, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and The God of War Trillogy.

 

[lacktheknack]

Economic strategy. I'm in deep passionate love with Tropico 3 right now, although I never really forgot Pharaoh, with its golden shimmering hair and incredible... economic strategyness. Or Railroad Tycoon 2. Because it was freaking Railroad Tycoon 2.

 

[GeorgW]

For me it's Action-Adventure. Kind of a cheat since it's such a poorly defined category, so that leads to a lot of variation within the genre. Since I like most, and I find most of most in that genre, that's my favourite.

Hm is Just Cause worth playing on the PC? I remember borrowing playing Just Cause 2 at a friends place for a while only to realise that the game had been crippled by consolisation: a lock-on feature was garnered mandatory because aiming with the mouse had a full-second delay; and the gimmicky double-weapon wield seemed obtrusive and unnecessary. Didn't go down well for me.

 

[Da Orky Man]

RTS for definite. The first two games I ever played were Homeworld and Age of Empires. I still play Age of Kings/Conquerors now.

Choice, Freedom WRPG
