I just love that game

TBS 16 84.21%

Now is the big question: Why are the last 16% visiting Apolyton


EDIT:

Seems like those who voted for "I like all genres", didn't cast any votes for the different genres, as I hoped they would...

Do you think about games like Massive online RPG games?

I think that should be under RPG (Or The Sims online, should be under Tycoon)..

RPG is a pretty wide genre in that case. Games like Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate and Everquest are all RPG's but are totally different in style and it's quite possible for somebody to absolutely love one of them and hate the other 2.

Of course, similar things apply to all genres, I suppose, since they are by definition a genrealisation.

Ultima Online, how's it like?

Well... you could say that for all genres then... e.g. there's huge difference between Settlers II (a strategy game) and AoE (a quick-build, quick-destroy-opponents game, without thinking), but they are both RTS games


And yes, I know a little about RPG games also, but I have only found one that's to my likening (Freedom Force)... the other RPG games are just not-my-type...
I would of course prefered to vote for the Freedom Force type of RPG, instead of the other types of RPG's, but then we'd need 50+ different genres... I had to set the line somewhere...

TBS - duh
RTS - EE's the only decent game since Starcraft, though.
FPS - Counter-Strike, DoD, RTCW, MOH, BF1942, you name it, I r0x0r it.
Sports - Madden series, and NHL series. The ultimate in football and hockey. Nobody else need apply.

They are the kind of people who like to naysay Civ. They come here only to complain about it. You know the kind of people.

I like FPSes, flight sims (especially Lucasarts' space flight sims), TBSes, and RPGs.

However, I agree that RPGs are very diverse. I have never played a Japanese RPG that I enjoyed, for example, whereas many western made RPGs seem to be closer to the entire idea of role-playing a character, not a bunch of statistics.

(JRPGs' random battles and overly large emphasis on number crunching just acts as a huge turn off. That, and the increasing complacency of the FF titles, where FMV finesse appears to be replacing actual gameplay and plot.)

Ultimately, there is still no substitute for table top RPG gaming. I love AD&D, Star Wars RPG, Call of Cthulhu, RIFTS, and Warhammer Fantasy Role Play. Many of the games that I referee or DM have little to no combat dice rolls - the emphasis is so much more on character interaction. You just don't get that in a computer RPG yet, although recent games such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights have shown good improvements.

I play FPS's, because they are awesome MP. I play TBS because I like strategy games. I play a limited subset of RTS games, because TBS often isn't that suitable for MP.

How do you define genre of Worms?

You forgot to specify text quest.

[Juggler]

FPS, RPG and adventure. Tycoon games it they are good.

Worms? I guess I would call it TBS, since it's turn based, and it's strategy...


And I don't know about Text quest...

TBS: Why else would I be here?

Racing games,
FPS: Duke Nukem

HOMM3 should be TBS not RPG.
