What is your 'pet' genre?

[ReservoirAngel]

Watching a Yahtzee review (I forget which) he mentioned that Survival Horror was his 'pet genre', and it got me thinking. What would you call your pet genre?

 

[TheEvilJester]

RPG. I love seeing leveling up and progression like in Pokemon or Fable

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Platformers.

There hard to come around, but when I get my hands on them, I can't stop.

DOS era 3dshooters (Doom, Powerslave, Darkforces, etc...) not sure that counts though, since they don't make them any more.

oo tough question, i'd like to think rpg as well i like fps but i just like the idea of grwoing stronger often the non linear storyline like fallout or even mass effect. and the choice between good and evil, even if it is not a startling choice.

 

[shadyh8er]

Third-person shooters. Mainly because of RE4 and Uncharted 2.

I guess my pet genre is fighting game(that seem grammatically wrong). Which is way it annoys me that there are so few that are any good.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

For me it's Survival Horror too.

 

[credop]

ooh. There are so many. Uhhm. My 3 pet genres would be RPG, Platforming or Horror.

My pet game which i can't find anywhere, is clock tower 3. I don't think it's a very good game, but i played it when i was younger and i fell in love.

The third person action genre is mine (games include Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Bayonetta).

 

[pyrosaw]

FPS. Or if that's too generic sometimes, sandbox games. I rarely play stealth, point/click, racing, fighter games.

 

[Enemy Of The State]

FPS. Or if that's too generic sometimes, sandbox games.

Seconded. A fine mix of shooters and Rockstar games.

 

[Cogwheel]

I quite like RPGs, good survival horror, good stealth games (read: Thief), and the odd platformer. Likely to try most that I come across, and care rather more about quality than I normally might.

A real pet genre, though? Bullet hell. Mildly obscure, but I'll play most of the ones I come across. Which doesn't mean much in practice, since I can't acquire many games of the sort.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

I like my genres like I like animals - varied and plentiful.

 

[Socius]

Role Playing Games.
The elder scrolls, World of warcraft, Dragon age, Fable, Gothic etc
WIthout a doubt, these are my kind of games. thats why I am so pleased at the momment.
Fallout: new Vegas and Fable III while waiting for Star wars the old republic!

RPG's or FPS games.

Tough decision, can't decide.

 

[Sixcess]

FPS, though since I dislike the realistic/military themed games that dominate the genre at the moment it's hard to find recent FPSs that I like. I picked up STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl on sale on Steam last weekend though, and I think I could learn to love that game...that is, once I get to grips with the terrifyingly competent enemy AI.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Strategy games, both RTS and TBS. Series like Total War, Heroes Of Might And Magic, Command And Conquer (especially Red Alert games (especially 2))... They're all awesome.
