Favorite Genre?

[X-Ray]

What is your favorite genre? Or more specifically, what is your favorite genre as far as console games go?

Note: I've never posted a pole before so if this doesn't work, forgive me.
















My personal favorite has to be FPS's.

True...but overall, FPS are the best!

[Nerrad529]

first person shooter sports games role playing racing is ok

[OEM Alien]

fps = # 1
so why does xbox only have HALO to show off?! almost everyone agrees that fps are the best so therefore xbox only has 1 fps???????
...fockin stupid game creators.

ATTENTION GAME CREATORS!
DO YOU WANT TO SELL A MILLION COPIES OF A GAME?? .... LIKE HALO??
DO YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL, MAKE LOTS OF MONEY AND GREAT GAMES ??
YES YOU SAY ???
WELL HURRY UP AND START MAKING FPS GAMES FOR THE XBOX ******!
after all it's why most people bought the xbox in the first place.

[Dre]

Well.. I think most of you know my answer. For those that don't:
RPG's kick arse

...only a few more days till the 1st one comes out on xbox!

FPS all the way, while Halo is not my fav Nothing has been able to knock the crown of Half Life as yet, But I'm looking forward to whats coming for Xbox.

[khaos2005]

FPS is my first choice.

Second choice is an RPG or action/adventure game.

[E-Xbox]

i dont really have a fav genre...
but i just picked fps....
plus..if the fps can go online...then its really amazing

peace

FPS all the way inless it's an amasing action/adventure.

As far as console games go:

1. Sports
2. FPS
3. Strategy
4. Action/adv.

Of course with newer and better consoles (i.e. the xbox) they might be able to make some RTS games that work perfectly which will bump that up to number 1 on my list. Right now the only console RTS's I've ever tried are Starcraft and C&C for N64 and boy was that ever a joke. I almost cried.

[guitargod711]

I love the sports genre. I also like exploration games like shenmue 1 and 2. I can't wait for that to come out.

[X-Ray]

FPS's have taken a resounding lead. I wonder if this could be because of a little game called Halo? I (or someone else) should post another pole like this after Morrowind and/or Project Ego, and see if its more of a 50-50 split.

As for me, FPS rule!

[Duke]

1. FPS
2. Sports
3. Racing
4. Action/Adventure

As of now, if you add Action/Adventure and RPG together, they're almost equall to FPS's. This is signifigant because in many people's minds, there is not fine line between RPG's and action/adventures. However FPS's have the clear majority.

I'm not too sure about that statement. I think most people can recognize an rpg when they see one. I don't want this thread turning into another "well, what defines an rpg" debate, but IMHO there are no RPGs out for xbox yet. I do not agree with people calling Azurik or Blood Omen 2 rpg's, those are the action/adventure games. However, the people that do refer to these games as RPG's are in a minority.

I really can't put my tastes into 1 genre! I would have to say....3rd person shooter if I only had to pick one....games like max payne, metal gear, gta3, siphon filter...etc.
