"Your top two favored genres"
, posted Wed 17 Sep 00:11
I was gonna make this a poll, but there were too many possible choices. I was starting to wonder whether I'm in the minority or the majority on this, so I'm asking: What are your top two favored genres? Post yours up before you read mine. In fact I'll even make it a spoiler to avoid influencing anyone, though it probably won't surprise anyone.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - Mine is RPG + Fighting, which is most of the reason this site interested me in the first place. While I do play all genres I can live without a lot of the games that fall into those other categories... not so with most fighters and RPGs though.

2D fighting games and puzzle games. A few years ago, I probably would've said RPGs or perhaps even shmups, but I don't have time for RPGs anymore and I've lost any skill I once had at playing hardcore shmups.

Visual novels & RPGs! The games in these genres pull me in like a magnet.

In games? Or in movies and stuff?
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - I like strategy and puzzle games the most, I suppose, and my favorite movie genres tend to be the macabre stuff and fantasy(Lord of the Rings, et cetera)...

role playing games, running the gamut from normal to experimental to strategy, and obscure, off-beat titles to eschew the monotony found in the modern, mainstream gaming selections offered at the local videogame repositories.

I got to say Rpg's and beat 'em up; but if anyone asks (I know no one would but anyway) I'll say I got respect for surviving horror titles.
If we speak about movies I'll say anything that can make my brain work (mostly anything not-holywood-related), then I'd rather books to movies.

Only two? That's tough... If I had to narrow it down, I would probably say FPS's and RPG's. Granted I spend more time playing fighters these days than anything else, and my rescent DoDonPachi obsession proves that I can still get sucked into SHMUP's as easily as I could way back in middle school. Still, you asked for my top two picks, so something had to be cut from the list.
A test of sorts. I'll put up something better later...

the problem is about every gaming genre has so many subgenres, so if someone says 'RPG', it doesn't really allow someone to truly grasp what types of games they really like. thank you for genre crossing.

Hmm... I don't really have two, so I'll say shooters (either run and gun or space shooters)platformers, and fighters.
, posted Wed 17 Sep 07:31
Ech. Probably fighting/RPG/Puzzle. Hard to choose! It also depends on my mood I guess. Right now I"m having a ton of fun with FFTA. But for the most part I have clocked in more hours in 3S and fighters then in any RPG, maybe.

Mine are RPG's and 2d fighting games but i'm faithful to classic games like castlevania, megaman, etc.

RPG and fighters, i guess. i love a good story and i love (friendly) competition
i could really play any game genre and have fun though, except maybe racing. i don't know what the hell i'm doing in those games. i try to make them interesting by killing myself and as many other drivers as i can, or by going the opposite direction and playing chicken

Even when it's hard to choose only two, I guess mines would be: - Adventures, very specially graphic adventures. - Jap RPGs (non-tactic) since FF7. Then I knew a magazine and this page/bbs which got me into 2D fighters. But really the only genres I'm not into it's simulators (the only genre that can bore me) and strategy (the games beat me, even if I like'em, like Commandos).

That's actually a really kinda borderline example. more like R-type or Dodonpachi.
Contra has some platforming elements and stuff...it's always been a debate as to whether or not contra/metal slug etc were shooters or simply action games.

RPG's and Fighting, mostly. However... Nearly any game can grasp my attention, or even be my favourite, if I like it. It's that simple.

I would have to say 2-D fighting games or 2-D fighting game based systems. (Example being SFEX3.)
My second favourite coming to mind would be RPGs, but it could easily be tied with things like action (also known as platform to some), and strategy.

I have no love for a game that ate hours and hours and hours and hours (and hours) of my life just to cut wood and plant tomatoes. (and hours and hours). This game is the devil's work, and I'm glad I don't have a GC, or I wouldn't resist to buy the new HM, and my already deficient social life would definitely come to a end. (and hours and hours)

Stop pretending you have a social life. You don't.
On topic, I usually play 2D fighters on an almost daily basis. And platformers, if the castelvania and goemon series are considered as platformers. I'm quite surprised that nobody else seems to favor that kind of game. Puzzling. Rpg is my third choice since I'm difficult to please in that category.

Hey, 2d platformers are by far my favorite kind of game. In second place... maybe some RPG's and some shooters.

you forget the whole social/courting aspect, though! it's no different than an mmorpg, with the only difference is that harvest moon is offline and better than any mmorpg out there.

sorry Rugal, looks like I've read your post to quickly. But still, there's not a lot of people who picked 2d platformers as their favorites in this thread. I usually don't like 3D platformers but looking at PS2 Castelvania video makes me feel this will change soon.
