What genres of video games do you have interest in. Was it really that hard to understand?

Yes, it was. He asked what genres you "observe" [Notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.]

I believe in all genres myself. Even cross-genres. I don't discriminate

For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

Yeah. It was. Because if someone sat down to observe a genre of gaming, instead of playing the games within the genre to receive an overall opinion on how it all works, well, I'd be a little worried for that person.

All of them, except most modern first-person shooters and sport titles (with the exception of tennis)

Personally, I don't believe in the existence of FPSes or puzzle games. Still on the fence as to whether text-based adventure games are real or not, though. Those are tricky to pin down :/
why do we need to pigeonhole everything again? just play 'em ffs

I believe FPS to be the One Genre, the Only Genre, the Alpha and the Omega of all video games.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

I'm assuming your not old enough to play rated M games.

Sonic has a story that's good enough for a cartoon.
Mario's story is non-existent.

Now compare that to something like Bioshock (the heavy borrowing from Ayn Rand aside) or even Halo.

WAT!

I'm assuming your implying Call of Duty doesn't have a story or characters? Because if so, you are terribly, terribly wrong.

You see I didn't say Call of Duty,

even then those games aren't the same every year. Granted I buy every other year and skipped MW3 in favor of More Halo.

Bioshock
Deus EX
Halo
