Favorite Genre of Gaming

[Sandman42]

Right now my favorites would be:

1. Roguelikes (Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, FTL)
2. Turn Based Strategy RPGs (X-COM, Fire Emblem, Shadowrun)
3. Souls style games. Nothing else really like it so I consider it its own genre
4. Open ended stealth/action (Dishonored, Deus Ex)
5. Character action games (Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, Metal Gear Rising - so essentially Platinum games)
6. Episodic adventure games (Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Kentucky Route Zero)

After years of FPS fatigue, I'm starting to play some, but not to the extent I used to. I am starting to get open world fatigue though.

Sports, especially playing a friend online or at home.

Since the tail end of the 360 console generation my gaming interests shifted from mainly sports games to action/adventure, fighting, and RPG games. Basically sports games on the 360 (namely Madden and MLB2K) did not compete in terms of overall gameplay quality with the other genres and I began jumping ship on sports gaming as a whole.

For me:

1. Sports
2. Everything else

Not sure if I can say "Sports", as I only play basketball video games.

Action has to come second. It used to be 1st person shooters, later I fell in love with the 3rd person games (Just Cause, GTA and my favorite...surprisingly...Bionic Commando from 2009).
