Do you like Sci-Fi settings of Medieval settings more?

Id have to go with Sci-Fi. I love Sci-Fi stuff. I really dont like Medieval stuff at all although I know alot of people LOVE it. The setting was the only thing keeping me from trying out Skyrim but im gunna get it anyway.... I wished I did like Medieval setting though because then I'd probably have alot more games to look forward too lol.

Please dont say both. There is no point of me asking which one you like most if you are just going to say both....

Post-apocalyptic.

I like it when the two are blended.

It depends. I can like both of they create unique worlds.

I can also hate both if they staunchly follow genre stereotypes.

whatever setting mario is in

Out of the two: Sci-Fi.

For some reason, anytime a game features an western medieval art-style with minotaurs,dragons and all, I'm reminded of all the the cheesy fantasy book covers from the 60's. There are exceptions to this however like the Legend of Zelda series, which have influences from most world cultures pre-renaissance.

I can't choose, honestly.

It depends on how creative a dev can get.

I love the futuristic vision of Final Fantasy XIII, but I also love the fantasy setting of The Witcher. I also love the post-apocalyptic settings of games like Bastion and Fallout: New Vegas (but not Fallout 3 because that game sucks).

I've decided not to try and compare each genre. If I see something good I'll like it, if it's not good I'll dislike it.

i love them both. my 4 fav franchises are Half life, the witcher, metroid and fallout. so that should tell you something.

tho, i love games you cant fit into either.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Medieval is good too. Not a big fan of present settings and even less of the 19th-20th centuries.

I don't know. It really depends on the movies and books that I see before hand that interest me. If I watch an awesome Sci-Fi movie then most likely I would want a Sci-Fi game, if I watch an awesome medieval movie than most likely I want a medieval game.

Also, it would be awesome if Bethesda made a Sci-Fi The Elder Scrolls kind of game. :D

I like Sci-fi. Its less the actual setting and more that devs seems to deal with more believable dilemas than they do in medieval games. I also like crap to make sense. I can't wait to play Skyrim, but magic, although a good gameplay mechanic, isn't as good as biotics because one.... makes sense. Its a stupid reason, but I like Sci-fi better regardless.

Older Final Fantasy games, Ultima series (for chuckles, mostly).

Medieval worlds, touches of high technology here and there, like accents.

It really all sepends, bt I guess medieval. Medival just has some many good ways to do it right, while there are very few good scifi examples I like. Scifi I like: The Jetsons, Fallout, Futurama, twilight zone, ironman star trek. The kind where they do not bog you down with a science lecture and get right down to the tech, aliens, and space adventure. But medieval even dudes just sitting around a round table talking is awesome, and although I never could get into lord of the rings medieval movies have always been more entertaingg then scifi imo.

I like both and the mixture of sci-fi with medieval.

Sci-Fi. Just loook at Mass Effect...
.
Medieval tends to be generic because they focus to much in the same timeframe and location, feudal western europe. They should add other mix like antiquity and eastern cultures.

Dragon Age 2, for all the hate it gets, made a very cool move to set the story in a urban setting. A shame that the game wasn't as good as we wanted it to be. Origins in the other hand, had the very standard setting of a medieval fantasy. Even if tryed to be different in other aspects, it wasn't nearly enought.

Scifi for films, fantasy for games. There's far more great scifi films than there are medieval/fantasy films... but there's also very few great scifi games out there while there are innumerous great games that employ the fantasy setting.

I hate lasers and macho sci-fi characters! But on the other hand, I extremely hate elves, dwarfs, and especially magic.

Sci-fi, I think you get alot of freedom there. I mean you can make some polar opposites here like Bioshock vs Mass Effect.vashkey

Sci-Fi usually has more imagination to it as it hasn't happened yet. But medieval is good when it's like Morrowind where it's not copying Tolkein

I really like both but if I had to choose one I would say sci-fi but most specifically cyberpunk.
