[Poll] Your favourite genre of games

[Sarath]

If you have voted with any particular game in mind then do mention it here. Due to the vast catalogue of games available many people miss out on many good games. It would encourage others to try out what you swear by.

I was scared of Tekkan since even a child could beat me at it. But I saw some enjoy the game so much I decided to buy a copy and give it a try. Next thing I know I am beating everyone up (with a lot of coaxing in real life ) You can influence others gaming habits in a similar way

Well Mass Effect series are RPGs but they aren't hack n' slash.And i still don't like calling DAO hack n' slash.Its a pure RPG.Diablo series, however is the best example for H&S.

Hmm Mass effect is a Third person shooter TPS and a RPG. Now I don't know which category can contain it.

Diablo is a pure RPG. I haven't played Diablo BTW.

AFAIK there is no genre called "Hack and Slash"

Hack and slash infact is a subgenre of RPG.

 

[Zangetsu]

Hack & Slash can be a subset of RPG but RPG is overall lengthy & story linked with it most important is character developement

 

[Piyush]

I chose FPS only because sci fi shooting/survival shooting falls into this category

The main and probably the only difference between a hack and slash and normal RPG is that in a hack slash game you will be crushing enemies most of the time.A H&S game provide you with more frequent chances for character upgrading.In a non H&S rpg you will have to do plenty of talking like in DAO.

Rpg is best fun. Simply Diablo series , Dragon age series , elder scroll series.

Well my preference broadly goes like this:-

Racing
RTS
Simulation (train sim, zoo tycoon etc.; this genre is also missing from the poll)
Shooter
RPG
Action-Adventure
Sports


But nothing beats casual/arcade games for a quick shot.

^^simulations are very boring to me.
