First Person Shooters
&
Third Person Shooters

I like the games where i can see my character. Some shooters that only show the gun is a bit annoying to me.

Action adventure games like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Metroid Prime 3, and No More Heroes. I don't care for first-person shooters (save MP3, of course) since they try to be so realistic, and I hate realism in things I use as an escape.

There's the Guitar Hero series as well.

FPS
TPS
SRPG (Strategy)
RTS (Real-Time Strategy)
Action Adventure
Stealth
Rhythm (Guitar Hero, anyone?)
Survival Horror
MMORPG
MMOFPS

Yay me.

Now I'm going to take a shower and count out my money, see if I've got enough to have a fair bit for my 360 and still rent a game, I need some Splinter Cell or something. D:

I like,

FPS
Third-person games.(KOTOR anyone?)
RPG


These are my make likes.

I hate 3rd person games with passion. I play Gears a bit but i don't like it as much as FPS's



FPS are the only games i play besides sports games (nhl,nba,skate,nfl,etc...)

i like strategy FPS games and stuff like that

oh and i like racing games

so


sports games
FPS (any type)
Racing

I heavily prefer action RPGs (Legend of Zelda, Prince of Persia, Kingdom Hearts, etc.)

Anything with a fun battlesystem, puzzles and a solid storyline are just perfect for me.

FPS, TPS, Stealth, RPG, Fighting and Sandbox

Platformers (MegaMan, Mario, Strider etc)

Beat 'em Ups (Final Fight, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry etc)

Two Dimensional Fighting Games (Capcom vs...., Guilty Gear, Street Fighter etc)

Action RPGs (Fable, The World Ends With You, Otogi etc)

I just gotta say, Zelda isn't rpg. It's adventure. In Mega Man X you also upgrade but it isn't rpg because of that. In rpg's you can manipulate your upgrades...and I haven't played it but I think Prince of Persia isn't rpg either...is it?

Ontopic: My favorite genre would be 2D platformers.

Hmm not really.

Pure adventure games are usually point & click like the Myst series, or those crime solving games and stuff. Adventure games are in fact more like an interactive movie that require some thinking rather than action. There are sub-categories of course. Prince of Persia could actually arguably be seen as a hack & slash game and a platformer.

The definitions for the various genres are so broad that it's very hard to pinpoint which genre a certain game is. you can be close with certain things (FPS for example, there's no way you can mix that up with something else).

Personally I call everything that has a deep story in which you play an important role an RPG. It is a role playing game after all. In fact according to your definition, a lot of the classic RPGs aren't really RPG. Since you only have limited control over your characters in games like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger. All you can do is equip them differently, but that's it. You can tell in which points your characters should get stronger or anything like that.

In reference to Zelda

I gotta say I agree.
