Whats your favorite genre?
25. Feb 2007 at 01:41

The "whats your favorite rpg?" thread got me whating to make this thread.Im curious what everyones favorite genre of video game is.Personally i like rpg's,shmup's and fishing games the most.While i like pretty most all shmup's i dont like run and gun games as much as space shooters(even though i love contra) and i prefer horizontal to vertical...i think.But if i had to name just one favorite game genre it would be...rpg.

So i guess feel free to tell us about genres you like and not just your favorite if you want to.If there was a thread similar to this one already i apologize, i didnt see it.

Beatemups, foremost. Who couldn't love a game where you just walk down the street punching every person/thing you see? They're a genre sorely missing today.

In second comes platformers (Super Mario Bros. for the win) and platformer/shooters like Megaman, tied.

My favorite series of any games outright is Metroid, though. It's really in a league of its own.

NES aside, I'm also a big fan of point+click adventure games on the PC ala King's Quest/Quest for Glory. Also the oldschool platformer/shooters like Commander Keen and Duke Nukem. Those games are awesome on so many levels. No developers really allow their programmers to put any personality into their games these days.. Well, with the exception of perhaps the Serious Sam series.

Yay for getting off topic.

Lolo is a Strategic Character-based Puzzle Game. When I think of it, I think to a lesser extent of Bomberman and Dig Dug. Both of those lean a little closer to action-oriented gameplay, but they both have similar if not simpler gameplay styles.

Metroid is definitely one of my favourite game series right next to Zelda. Super Metroid is my favourite game ever, with A Link to the Past coming in after that.

I prefer the adventure games that are very open ended. You could never get away with a game like the first Legend of Zelda, Metroid, or Blaster Master today. They never tell you where to go, which I thought was a good thing. it forced you to learn the areas, and just keep trying things. and best of all, the it forced you to keep track of things and make good maps. I thought that was incredibly fun.

I'm a fan of every game genre, however, my least favourite would have to be sports titles. Its way more fun to toss the football outside than on the Nintendo. But hey, thats just me.

I love adventure, rpg's, action, platformers, strategy, simulation, puzzle, fighting, racing, side-scrolling shooters...yeah lots of stuff..lol
