Your favorite game genre : Othor Games

There are many styles of games, everything from shooting aliens to creating and living in a world of your design. The question is, what gives you the most enjoyment? Where do you fit in most comfortably, is it casually chain sawing an alien in twain while laughing manically or slowly building an empire to rule the world? Somewhere in between maybe?

I would love to see an RPG that incorporates some really complex puzzles and a different sort of gameplay. Like if it were possible to incorporate some elements from Amnesia The Dark Descent into Skyrim, for example.

I also enjoy strategy games like Civ5, Empire: Total War, etc.

I think I've played more shooters than any other kind of games.Yet, I gotta say that no game genre is better for me than first person RPG.

Science fiction role playing games.

Also, "Grand Strategy" games, mostly those from Paradox Interactive.

It was a close call between RP games and RTS games for me, I went with RTS in the end because I think over the years I've spent more time on them than any other genre.

I don't really have a favourite genre, but I usually play RPG (Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.), FPS (Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, etc.), turn-based strategy (Civilization series) and sandbox (Garry's Mod, Minecraft, etc.) games.

First person action RPGs, preferably in a cyberpunk setting.

Games like System Shock, Deus Ex and Bloodlines. But also games like The Elder Scrolls series, the newer Fallouts and the Thief series.

I would be mighty pleased if there ever was an open-ended game like Fallout 3, but in a huge cyberpunk metropolis. It's the ultimate dream game!

I like games with are action-oriented but have RPG elements and/or are story/character driven.

I'm very picky about games I like.
