Well I am a person that tries almost every genre.
FPS- I like this mostly when they are interesting and fun (so call of duty can count for a reason I play FPS but main one is DUST 514)
Adventure- I love a good game with a story to go with it (reason why I love kingdom hearts and dark cloud)
Puzzle- Every now and then I will play a game that will most likely make me think through out the whole game.
Now I think those are the main ones I play the most but I try to play others, I just don't find the time sometimes. But there are genres I hate, sport games and racing games.

I really wish people would follow your lead, I was playing with Yukiko online yesterday for the first time and after about 12 matches I didn't meet a single other Yukiko and fought about 8 Yu's. Of the others, 2 were Chie, 1 was Naoto and 1 was Kanji.The Wykydtron said:Persona 4 Arena. In which i'm being a hipster who plays Shadow Labrys online. Y'know the character nobody else uses?
Shabrys is ridiculously fun. She has such great voice acting and Asterius has some cheap ass moves
I mean c'mon people have some diversity, I know the games only just come out in Europe but that's ridiculous!
OT: I mainly play JRPGs, fighting games and pretty much any game with a decent story. I used to play a lot of FPS' but I've completely burnt out on them.
I'm fighting a LOT of Naotos today. There was a bunch of different characters yesterday and then 3 Elisabeths in a row and she is really good. Annoyingly good. Naoto and Yu at the moment and not much elseDragoon said:I really wish people would follow your lead, I was playing with Yukiko online yesterday for the first time and after about 12 matches I didn't meet a single other Yukiko and fought about 8 Yu's.

The first and only Labrys i've seen was a super hype Labrys vs Shadow Labrys game. Labrys won because I have no idea what she does apart from having the same axe moves.
Looking through my collection I actually have something from every genre apart from JRPSs, MOBAs and the Fifa/NFL type.
The most prevalent type tends to be games with an overarching story and RTS/TBS.

God, I dunno. A lot. Generally on PC these days, few exceptions. Steam library is just shy of 200 titles, though that may not be a lot compared to some of you avid geeks.
Generally my favorite genre is well done FPS/RPGs and oldschool PC WRPGs. I like TBS and RTT games (Wargame: EE, Company of Heroes, Myth 1 & 2, Civ / 4X strategies), but I just get lost in action-per-minute = success RTS like starcraft.
Alltime favorite titles are Bioshock / System Shock, Fallout 1 2 Tactics 3 NV, Deus Ex 1 HR, Halflife, Tribes 1 2 Ascend, Battlefield(s) 1942 - 3, Doom / Quake 1 2, Elderscrolls 3 - 5, Grand Theft Auto (all ex: mobile games), Company of Heroes, Dawn of War 1 - Dark Crusade, Minecraft, Dungeon Keeper 1 2, Halo 1 & Reach, etc etc...
I dunno, I'm pretty omnivorous. If you give me a game I'll give it a fair shot, but certain types do really turn my crank.

WRPGS is probably my most played and its the genre that originally got me into gaming.
I also play
FPS or TPS
Action-Adventure
MMO's though I'm and on and off player.
Puzzle games
Stealth
Platformers
Occasionally RTS but I suck at them and I rent fighting games to play with friends on occasion but not often.
I would try out more JRPG's but there aren't many for the pc.
I'm currently playing a point and click though I've not played many before this. I might go on a binge and play a whole bunch of old ones.

RPGs would be my most played genre of all. Action, Western, Japanese, you name it. Except Strategy RPGs. I can't get into Strategy games at all, turn based or real time. So count me out on FF Tactics, Fire Emblem, certain Megaten titles, Disgaea. Can't get into any of that.
I love action games, too. I'll also play stealth games.
I typically detest FPS or TPS games, although TPS to a much lesser extent. I won't generally touch any game at all that plays primarily in first person, unless it's really good. Dishonored and Fallout: New Vegas are the only games I own that play in first person(ignoring the fact that FO: NV can be third person).
I also won't touch fighting games like Street Fighter or BlazBlue or anything else of their ilk. Soul Calibur 2/3 are the only fighting games I'll play, willingly.

Looking through my current game collection, I seem to gravitate toward the following:
Fighters
RPGs (preferably those that let me create or customize my character)
Action/Adventure
FPSs that are not CoD or Battlefield
the occasional sports/racing game
Every other genre either has one or two exceptions that piqued my interest, or there were fucks given at all period (i.e. RTSs).

I love Stealth games like Thief, Deus Ex:HR, Mark of the Ninja and Dishonoured. Anything with a no kill run is very cool. I usually play thief characters in games. I like RPG's and JRPG's a lot and it's probably what I play most of the time. I like platformers and strategy games when I can get them. I play a lot of online co op games and MMORPG's with my best mate.
I tend to avoid military shooters. Just way too boring for me. I like me some Left For Dead 2 and Borderlands 2 though. I don't like Racing games or Sports games I don't see the point. I don't play fighting games much anymore because of how they portray women these days, although Injustice doesn't look too bad.
Developing a love for japanese indie games at the moment.

I've been playing Minecraft, Bioshock, Age of Empires 2 HD, Saints Row 3, Don't Starve, Game Dev Tycoon, Civ Revolutions, Alpha Centuri, Warcraft 1 and Fairway Solitare. Oh I just started Brutal Legend too.
Long live the PC master race.

I mostly plan RPG's, western and Japanese. I also occasionally play puzzle games,adventure games, simulation games, and visual novels (if you consider them games).
I mainly play fighters and RPGs. I especially enjoy new-school or "anime" fighters like Melty Blood, BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, but I enjoy pretty much style of fighting game. I've recently been playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. I like RPGs because they serve as a nice contrast to fighting games. Less focus is placed on gameplay, but so much more is placed on story and the sheer amount of content.
I'm a shooter junkie, I've always loved shooters of all shapes and sizes, and I will probably play them until the day I die. Currently I partake in;
Team Fortress 2
Quake Live
Loadout
Xonotic
Halo 4
Call of Duty (whichever one is the most recent, atm BO:2)
I do dip into other shooters (gotham city impostors and tribes are good examples) And I enjoy a singleplayer romp as well, namely DOOM/DOOM2, the Turok series, and the Far Cry series.
Pretty much anything with guns =p

I like large open world games with lots of exploration but they also need to have a decent story and combat. Sorry skyrim and saints row but you guys fail horribly at this.
Its generally either fantasy games like Dragons Dogma, Two Worlds 2, Dark Souls, Assassins Creed, Dragon Age or current/post apocalyptic like New Vegas, GTA, or Farcry. I absolutely hate sci-fi games. I am actually downloading Sleeping Dogs right now since its free for PlayStation plus members. I also like the occasional steal game like Metal Gear Solid. Then there are the oddities such as the Katamari games, Diablo 3 or Disgaea series. I used to play a lot of hack and slash/platformers like god of war or prince of persia but not really very much anymore.
There are some obvious exceptions but that is pretty much it. I can enjoy games like Cod, or Battlefield if I am playing with friends but I cant stand playing them alone.

What ever I'm in the mood for really.
If I want an engaging story I'll play Mass effect.
If I want a large world to explore I'll play wow
If I want to just destroy things and have mindless fun violence Prototype's free roam mode is great for that.
I like to have variety in the games I play so It's hard to get tired of them.
