What's your favourite genre?

Mine in RPGs, followed by action sdventure because of how immersive they are.

My favorite is adventure, but I mean real adventure games, so no Zelda, Metroid Prime or other similiar titles

second favorite would propably be strategy (altough I don't like pure RTSes much, I prfer TBS, city builders and real-time wargames)

My favourite used to be platforming, but the genre has really declined since the N64/PSX days (save for brilliant efforts like Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and a few surprisingly good games). So now, I'd say racing, as I can always amuse myself with racing games, and they seem to take up most of my gaming time these days. I'm also pretty good at them, so that helps. :)

Don't really look at genres, I just play what I think I will enjoy. I probably have alot of Action Adventure and Fighters say over RPGs for example though, not that they are completely abundant in my collection.

2D games; platformers and metroidvanias.

I have to admit the gap between 2D and 3D is closing in with titles like SMG, which feels like a 2D game.

First-Person Shooters. I grew up playing them, and I'll probably die playing them (or when I get bored of playing video games).

It used to be platformers but they aren't as many of them as there were in the 90s. So right now I'd say RPGs and Action/Adventure games.

Couldn't tell you... but I can tell you my top favourite genres that I go through "phases" with.

Action-adventure (Castlevania, Legend of Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.)
Role-playing (Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloddlines, Oblivion (I understand it is AA, but I enjoy role-playing in it))
Racing (Forza Motorsport, Burnout: Paradise, F-Zero)
Rhythm (DJ MAX Portable, Beatmania IIDX)
Shooters (Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, etc.)

Aside from Rhythm, these genre titles cover most of the sub-genres and hybrids as well related to the broader terms. I play many types of games, but most of them would fall in some way under these five headings.

I tend to enjoy action-adventures the most, followed by FPS and RTS/TBS/RTT/etc. Platformers used to be a favorite, but there hasn't been much of those.

FPS is by far the worlds favourite, I'm a hybrid fan. My favourite being the survival horror, shooter, RPG hybrid mix.
