Is 5 answers the max for poll answers? To bad i wanted to include atleast racing and sport games :/

Anyway i'd like to know what PC gamers interest the most. Please don't vote if you spent most time on a console. It would be great if you can supply a post as to why you play that genre the most. And possible why you dislike other genres.

I vote for RTS, because starcraft 2 just rocks to much. I love strategy games the most and really enjoy the tense moments it can create. I play a lot of city / empire builders too.

I dislike FPS, i used to play doom, quake, halflife and counterstrike, became real good at counterstrike and now have a been there done that feeling. It just doesn't attract me that much anymore.

I have never been interested in puzzle or sports games either except for soccer managers because of the strategic gameplay.

I think most of my Steam games are FPS. The only RTSes I play are COH and SC2. While I have ME 1 and 2 for PC, I have the first for 360 as well and the KoTORs too-- it's more fair to say that's the genre I "console". FPS it is.

FPS by a very far distance, on PC at least. Other genres I play frequently are RTS and RPG, though the latter solely due to Oblivion, which is more of an action/adventure game anyway at times.

Simulators:

Flight sims - sometimes, I'm not in the mood to shoot and kill anything. Actually, that's most of the time. Over half my gaming time is spent on FSX.

Air combat sims

Strategy. I probably spend equal times between 4X games and real-time games.

RTS closely followed by FPS, then RPG. I like them all equally though.

FPS most, then RTS. I also play other genres (RPG, sports, action adventure, indie) on the PC, but I don't find them as addicting as the 2 genres I mentioned.

I mostly play RPGs, followed closely by strategy games (turn-based, real-time, and 4X).

RPG, and it is largely debatable if WoW is an RPG.

I agree about MMOs in general. I voted RPG but my true loves are RPG/FPS hybrids. They make both FPS and RPG lovers hateful as a rule but I don't care.

Generally FPS games (own all BF games, COD pc games, UT games up to UT3, and all STALKER games but CoP), but I also like RTS games like CnC and Blizzard RTSes, and RPGS (all Bioware games and hack 'n slash RPGs).

I don't really have a go-to genre, i'm usually playing whatever interesting-looking games came out recently and maybe one main-stay multiplayer game that is either a RTS or a FPS.

I voted for RTS because usually i spend more time in any given RTS's multiplayer (assuming its good) than any given FPS game's multiplayer.

Having said that I haven't really played a RTS in a month or so, but i played Starcraft 2 and Company of Heroes Online a ton in the summer.

Definitely RPG. They're just so time-consuming, with each of my play sessions lasting several hours at a time. Most RTSs games, in contrast, last barely over an hour per session at most, while FPS campaigns these days aren't much longer than 6 hours apiece so I usually finish them off in two or three days then hardly ever play them again. The only genres that rival RPGs in time consumption with me are "big" strategy games (real-time and turn-based) like Sins of a Solar Empire, Disciples II, Sword of the Stars and the Civilization games, and there are far fewer of those games than there are RPGs.

I don't consider people who play RPGs pc gamers, because they require no skillz. To be a pc gamer you must be one with the Quake 3z or CSSz.

Please tell me you're joking.

Anyway, I mostly play RPG's but FPS's come a close second. I do have a much higher tolerance for medicority in FPS - unless it's really godawfully bad, I'm going to play it and I'm going to enjoy it. RPG's need to be particulary good to invest my time in.

RTS's come at a distant third.
