What are your Favourite Video Game Genres?

[mudpuddle]

Since this is the Game Board of Hipforums...

I Probably missed Out a few Genres...

[BodyElectric]

I'd call myself a mmorpger overall. With console games it's all about hackn' slash or RPG.

I also have a weird weakness for silly little popcap or big fish games.

[CloudFlower]

I have a thing for online RPG games... nerdy yes

[mudpuddle]

I Forgot to mention that You Can Vote more than Once...

And Yes...Feel Free to Discuss Additional Gaming Genres...

[natural philosophy]

RPG fasho fasho

[fountains of nay]

I pretty much chose all of them, I'm just well into games!:D

[Smelly Socks]

Sports got the most votes??? Blech.

I hate sports games.

[themnax]

eco and infrastructure sims. a realistic infrastructure in/compatability with 'eco' sim that runs on the pc is something i'm still looking for. preferably in an online forum rather then an emersive mmo that requires broadband until the myraculous day should dawn that i find myself having it.

damd near everything out there, and almost certainly because it's damd near the only thing that sells, which may be do to cultural factors influencing not only consumer priorities but motivations as to how well they are done on the part of their creators, seems to be some sort of conflict or competition sim.

which there's nothing intrinsicly wrong with. only the tediusness to me, of their being such complete lack of support/resources in a gaming environment, for anything else.

[BodyElectric]

Imma waiting for Spore.

[Allonym]

rpg's and simulation... final fantasy diablo eve wow (though only the trial) guild wars sims2 etc. I want Spore so badly but they keep pushing back the date for it that im not sure its ever actually gonna come out at this point

[BornFree]

spore will be godly.

[PsyGrunge]

Shooters; although you're missing out two very important words - 'First Person'.

[BornFree]

eff first person shooters... well.. i dont like shoot em up games but i prefer a action/puzzle/adventure game that involves fast action first person shooting (aka metroid prime) :) :) :)

[BodyElectric]

I enjoy FSP but I don't like army games. Maybe put a lightsaber in there somewhere or a zombie and I'll play it.

[Airfern1313]

1st person shooters with the exception of ghost recon 2 and rpgs

[PsyGrunge]

eff first person shooters...FPS are the way forward, period.
Especially ONLINE FPS.
Fuck, give me Counter Strike: Source over World of Warcraft ANY day!

[City Wok]

Action & shooters are fun for awhile. RPG's are the best as the seem to last longer than other genre's.

[Nada]

Give me a good ol' fashioned consol RPG and I'm happy. :)

[Wildlicencse]

If it's online against human competiton then i'm in! Solo play jus seems to easy, though General Ramm from GoW was pretty fuckin tricky especially on hardcore! But, to answer the actual question here would have to be, FPS, but i dont mind rpg's and anything with alot of customization in, well fuck, i like more or less all game types, if theyre done right!

[Asmodean]

I like action/adventure with some rpg elements most. Boring rpg's like Baldurs gate are just too much about beating everything and level up. I want a good story with it, so it makes some sense what you're doing.

[themnax]

first person, fully emersive, vr, non-"shooting", mind game puzzle solvers, like the old text based adventures like zork and their ilk used to have, but instead of just text, actual fully emersive 3d environments. i think myst and its sequils tried to do something like that.

=^^=
.../\...

looking at the survey it seems like there's a real market for rpg, adventure, action in that order too.

of course hip formers might not be typical of other gamers, but it still looks like a real market to me.

.../\...

[Justagrrl420]

Diablo 2, WoW, Sims 2, Final Fantasy, racing games (grand theft auto etc.), NeverWinter Nights, football, Halo 2, wrestling, old school mario..etc..

I like anything with cars, racing, blood, gore, fighting, questing, killing...

[ItzJessI3itch]

rpg's and simulation... final fantasy diablo eve wow (though only the trial) guild wars sims2 etc. I want Spore so badly but they keep pushing back the date for it that im not sure its ever actually gonna come out at this point


Same here... I really love World of Warcraft... it's awesome... but unfortunaltely I don't have enough RAM to intall it onto my computer... wich sucks... I'm really looking forward to getting Sims 2 sometimes soon...

So what is Spore and what is it all about?

[Formertechno34]

RPG's! :)

[*Andy*]

RPG all the way :)

[nolifer]

1. Rts
2. Rpg
3. Fps

[Stubb0rnSt0n3r]

Very simple...


Action/Adventure/Role Playing Game
That is my favorite genre compilation...

I don't mind playing any games, cuz they all can be bomb when approached correctly. Haha.
Sports games are pretty good.

I put MLB 06, mario soccer and tigerwoods 06 to shame...
I also destroyed madden 2007.
252 me(cowboys)
6 cp(patriots)
it was at best buy on their display console...comfy floor chairs too.


Mario soccer, I continually scored a goal, from anyywhere between less than a second to up to 3 or 4 seconds right after release, repetatively for two minutes straight.
The teamwork dynamics were impressive as well.

Super smash brothers and guitar hero are pretty revered favorites as well...

Also simulation games and fps's.
call of duty Medal of honor, sim city, civilization, janes flight simulators anthology, f18, f22.
Battletanks, haha and twisted metal.
SIms is ok sometimes, and rct, cuz I make pretty incredible rollercoasters.

Video games are fun, explore all genres says I.

[lozzyjay]

adventure... I like anything really apart from football games...they're all the same!!

Crash Bandicoot - the best game in the world!

[ibe a-ta]

rpgs no question

kotor ,fable, elder scrolls, swg, and my new favorite mass effect

[Mr. Melty]

meh, depends. Sometimes I'l play WoW, other time's i'l play raving rabbids, or bioshock :P
And notice: sports got 1 vote. ONE. i.e. sport games suck (generaly).
yeah and i can't wait for spore, KingdomHearts: Birth by sleep and KH: 358/2 days.

[neodude1212]

lol rpg's definatly!

even though im STILL trying to beat FFVIII cuz it's so freaking hard.....

[Reefer Rogue]

Online shooters, COD4. Fifa. Gta

[Challah]

Mostly online strategy games. Company of Heroes is my favourite at the moment. Getting into Age of Conan, too.

[Coleosis]

racing games (preferably ones that allow you to customize your car)
shooter
RPGs
MMORPGs
in that order...I used to play World of Warcraft for a year...didnt get much done that year that didnt have to do with WoW. Sold the account and havent had the urge to play another MMORPG since.

[mystical_shroom]

I'd say all minus the sports one--well, Fifa is fun and hockey..

[ganesha1967]

RPGs, since I started those without a console or computer, using the classic pen, paper and dice variant. FF VIII, X and X-2 are faves of mine. On the fantasy adventure field, I do like Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance (Part 1 and 2 - although the hopping game in the thieves' guild in part 1 is one point where I am short of flinging my PS2 controller into some corner of my room...) and also Forgotten Realms - Demon Stone. I got to admit, I bought that one partly because of voice talents in it... Patrick "Picard" Stewart as narrator and voicing Kelben Blackstaff Arunsun. Cute, really. And a cute game, even though it can easily be finishes in a few hours. The rogue, Zhai, became a favourite character of mine. Nice mix, half drow half woods elf. She had a hard time growing up in a woods elves village. And sometimes, for fun and nostalgia reasons I put that good old PS1 Diablo CD into my console...
As for online games, I haven't played WoW yet, since I have my trusty old PS 2 for the graphic stuff. As for online adventures, I still have a character on a MUD known as Realm of Magic (http://rom.mud.de). So, if you happen to be there, and there is an elf called Mydleet online, just let her know, that you came to know the MUD from here.

playfully yours,

[Tr0gdor_the_Burninator]

Most of my favourite games are RPG's.
I play rts when im by myself and fps when im with my friends.
