TheSteelyardDweller Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 there were some cool new threads from @Jayson on game genres we havent talked about. there are lots of game genres i dont even play and never think of. how many game genres do all of you play?
The Blackangel Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) I stick mostly to the fantasy type of games. Things like Zelda and Castlevania. But I do enjoy a few other genres. Mega Man kicks ass, and I always enjoyed the original Metroid on NES. There's also off the walls crazy shit that I like, such as Earthworm Jim 2. I want to know what the creators of that game were smoking and where I can get some. There are a few sci-fi-ish games that I enjoy as well. A few of the Final Fantasy games I like. FF8, as it is already well known, is my personal favorite of the series. Fighting games are good sometimes. I don't enjoy sports games with the exception of snowboarding games. But that's because when I was younger I was a pro-am snowboarder. Granted I wasn't Torah Bright, but I was still pretty good. I'm not big on puzzle games like Riven. A lot of people here are Doom fans. I was a Hexen fan. Same kind of game, but turned medieval. I played Star Fox as a kid, but it was more of a choice of something to play when nothing really interested me at the time. I'm also a major God Of War fan. But again that's leaning more toward the fantasy genre. Also, it deals with the Gods and Goddesses that I personally pay homage to and worship. So it kinda holds a special place for me. Then there's the classics, that due to their age and the graphic capabilities at the time, don't really fit into any genre that I love. Space Invaders, Q*Bert, Swordquest, Dig Dug, Asteroids, Frogger, and so many more. So my interests kinda run a little wide, but I'm mostly drawn to the fantasy realm. Outside that, it just depends on the game itself. If it intrigues me (Blackthorne, Mortal Kombat, etc.) then I'll give it a fair shot. And it may end up in my library. Which is rather extensive.

Alyxx Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Mostly FPS's and RPG's like @kingpotato but also the occasional racing game or retro platformer. Edited October 9, 2019 by Alyxx
Jayson Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 If given more time - I'd gladly experiment with all genres. I mean, I simply don't have the time during the day - as I am busy on website projects - one with a large social media following.
Patrik Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Everything except Racing, Sport and RPG games
Shole Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I play everything, I dislike mostly low graphic games, but I still play some, like Space Station 13 and Heroes III. You shouldn't limit yourself 😄

Need for Speed Most Wanted is among my favorite NFS genre.
Family sedan Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 Mostly sports and racing games, but sometimes I'll play PlayStation Monopoly.

Yeah - Dirt is good racing game too but it never beat how good Need for Speed genre was. NFS offered a lot more than what Dirt did.
