So what's your favorite genre of gaming? I personally am very fond of platformers and RPGs the most. I'm not too picky when it comes to playing video games though, but I can say that I really don't care for sports games. They're pretty boring IMO, the only sport game I have ever played was NHL '94 on the Sega Genesis, and I've tried playing Madden '99 but I just can't get into them. The exception for that though is NBA Jam, I love that game. xD

I'm a bit of an RPG nutcase. I'm a collector of everything RPG and actually have some very rare titles lying around. :)



I also like platformers, racing and action games. I'm not a big fan of FPS, dance, fitness, etc as there's just too much shovelware in these genres.

Platforming, Metroidvania, just about any 2D game for me.

I'm not too picky about my games. I will play anything and everything. Whatever's a good game, I'll play it. I like to keep a variety. Best of all worlds.



The only thing I don't play are sports games. I despise those. If you wanna play sports, go outside, dammit!

And yet it looks like we have another thing in common ninja. xD I completely agree with that last sentence, plus it's better for you physically. :P

I'll second this motion! People who buy FIFA, etc every year make me wonder why they're allowed money. :becksurprised

I, um...like Fifa. Sooooooooorry about that.



My favourite genres are platformers (Mario, Sonic , Mega Man etc.), RPGs (FF, Ni no Kuni, Pok?mon etc), hack-n-slash (Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Rising etc.), and fighting games (Street Fighter, the cream of the DBZ crop etc.).

Funny thing is, I'm awful at it. Also, I haven't bought Fifa 14 yet. Probably won't, considering Pok?mon X, GTA V, and Kingdom Hearts HD are all higher priority to me.

I just GTA V on Friday morning (at around 4:30am) and it's an amazing experience. I recommend it!

I'm not sure if I'll be getting the Pok?mon game on release or not yet.



I've started Disgaea D2 and am enjoying myself so far. KH HD is on hold as Disgaea is a higher priority for me right now. :P

A close friend of mine (who's probably the biggest English-speaking Disgaea fan in the world and has played it since the age of 5) has almost beaten Disgaea D2. I am still playing through Disgaea 3 (signed by Vic Mignogna!) and am crap at it but love it. Then there's Disgaea 4 for after I beat 3... :beckconfused

I take it he has the Japanese version? Only asking cause we Europeans only got it today and America don't get it until next week... or two weeks can't remember. :)



Not to walk all over his parade, but I'm the biggest fan...or at least, I tell myself that. :P

No, he has the European version. He somehow got it early. I assume he bribed NIS America but I don't know for sure.
