As seems to be the vast majority of people here - I'm definitely a Single Player gamer. I've played a few on-line / multi-player type games, but they just aren't for me. My playing style (very slow grinder who likes to check every nook and cranny of every corner) is just not very compatible to most on-line / multi-player type games.

On a side note, I give Netflix credit for trying something different in the Black Mirror movie / series (I guess it's based on the Black Mirror games??). Being able actually make choices in the movie is definitely taking the genre in a different direction, unfortunately, I just didn't care for the actual story they came up with (I do think I like the idea though).

Until they actually get it right, it's hard to be supportive of the trash that they have presented us so far. I totally agree that the possibility of a great movie is there, but that they aren't willing to put the effort in to make it. For the most part they simply get some big star to promote theses types of movies, and hope to make some quick money.

I'm trying to think of some (an) example of a game that was successfully turned into a movie, and I'm having trouble thinking of one. Probably the best movie that is based on a video game is Wreck it Ralph, and that technically isn't really based on a video game, rather a bunch generic like old games (with a few actual classic games thrown in).

I think the worst video game movie I've ever seen has to be Doom. Again, they grabbed a famous star - the Rock, stuck him in a movie based on a popular game, and went for the quick money grab. That movie was so bad it hurts just thinking about it. So, unless they stop with these quick money grabbing projects, and put some actual time and work into such a movie, I just don't have any high hopes for the future of these kinds of movies.

Would I like to seem some good movies based on popular games - sure. Do I think it's going to happen? - not so much.

@sleepnsurf: Fetch quests, escort quests (the dumb jerks you are supposed to be escorting always seem to go out of their way to complicate things), and timed quests (kills my whole slow grind approach) are three things I can't stand in many games.

I'm not a great multi-tasker, and this applies to my gaming as well. I can handle two games at once as long as they are completely different genres (like a FPS and a casual game), but if I try to play more than one similar type of game, I just end up spending all my time on one, and ignoring the other.

How many different games do you play at the same time? Can you handle more than one simultaneous gaming experience, or do you also finding yourself being glued to the one, and ignoring the other(s)?

Civilization 4 has great music throughout, but in particular, the opening theme to the game is absolutely amazing.

Heroes of Might and Magic IV. Most people don't like it because of the active role (and near the end of the game overpowering role) of the main heroes. Personally It's my favorite of all the HOMM games

@ Javik Yeah, Borderlands Pre Sequel takes a whole new approach to their characters, giving them a wide variety of personalities. This actually makes the game much more re-playable. You want to hear what each character is going to say in different situations. My favorite is probably Jack (the Doppleganger) and Clap Trap.

Aurelia, the Baroness from Borderlands the Pre Sequel is a pretty fun character that hardly takes anything seriously.

Most people have their favorite genres (or two), but is there a certain gaming genre that for whatever reason you just really don't like?

I don't like Tower Defense games. When they first became popular I tried a few, but never could get into them. Now I avoid completely avoid them.
