Fav. Game Genres?

[Crono]

Well, I'd like everyone to post their favourite and least favourite game genres (it's just like a little poll thingy)...Also, post why you like or dislike that particular genre. And...post some of your fav. games of that genre (or in the dislike genre, list the games you dislike)

Favourite
RPGs - All of my fav. games of all time are RPGs. The reason is simple. RPGs almost always have great characters, wonderful storylines, memorable scenes, etc. I love games with lots of dialouge and character improvement, and how characters interact with their world. I dunno why, ever since playing my first RPG (Final Fantasy 4/2 on SNES), I was hooked. I also tend to like games that move at a slower pace...and I also like games that are single player..

My Fav. RPGs:
- Breath Of Fire III
- Chrono Trigger
- Chrono Cross
- Suikoden III
- Final Fantasy VII
- Secret Of Mana
- Seiken Densetsu 3
...and soon Kingdom Hearts will be added to that list. If any of you ever play any of these games, you will understand why I love RPGs so much.

anyway...

Least Favourite
Hmm...I'll have to go with FPS's. For one, I don't like the fast paced killing. And like I said, I love games with great stories and character development. And guess what? Most FPS's tend to lack majorly in this department.

FPS's that I dislike:
- Perfect Dark
- Time Splitters 2
- Goldeneye 007 (I enjoyed it for a BIT, then got real tired of it soon after)
- Half Life
...and pretty much any other FPS. Goldeneye 007 was the first (and only) FPS that I bought. After that, I learned my lesson to never buy another.

RPGs just don't do it for me in the gameplay department. They're great games to experience, but the actual button-pressing leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Of course Kingdom Hearts is an exception, with the battles being action-based.

My favourite genre...hmm...I have no idea

I like so many different kinds of games, it's hard to decide.

I mean my current favourites are: GTA Vice City, SOCOM, Kingdom Hearts, Madden 2003 and Tony Hawk 4. LOL, try to pick one genre out of those games

Sports, Action/Adventure games are my favourites I guess?

It is so hard to single it down to a single genre, becuase I there are really great games in pretty much every Genre...

After much thought, I have to go with the...

Platform.

Mainly because it has remained consistent throughout the years...Platformers, if made correctly, can be just as good in 3D, if not better, than in 2D. They have just always been my favorite overall.
