Favorite

SideScroller
Platformer
Action/Adventure
Fighting - (Street Fighter, SSBros)
Survival Horror
Adventure/Puzzle
First Person 'Adventure'

Hate

Shooters
Sand Box
Simulators - (Sports, Racing ect)
RPG 'Turn Based'
'Combo Based' Fighting - (Like Dead or Alive, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dragon Ball and Soul Calibur)

And really, i'd love to see a First Person 'Survival Horror' in the same vain as Resident Evil, with lots of interactive puzzles for the Wii, using IR and Motionplus controls. Limmited Bullets, back tracking, items, scary environments ect. imagine the possibilities. It would breath life into the first person genre. because i'm sick of the countless mindless shooters(like alot of people are). Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the other hand was such an amazing experience for me...After experiencing the IR/Motion controls alone, i cant go back to dual analog or mouse and keyboard, both control schemes are boring, archiac, dated and un-imerssive in comparison. If Metroid Prime 3 didn't have IR/Motion controls it definitly wouldn't of had the same impact on me.

Another example is playing RE4:Wii Edition(which also had fantastic IR Controls which totaly 1-uped the experience to the tee') and then having to go and play RE5 with Dual Analog controls...total dissapointment control-wise.

Why did you put a capital o in favourite?

In the other topic I presumed it was a typo, but it seems to be a reoccuring theme...

I can't wait to see how many arguments occur from people defending their favorite genres!

Just let it happen.

Like
Practically every single genre there is

Dislike
No genre is disliked

Yea, I'm that tolerant when it comes to genres like RPGs and platformers and shmups/cute'em ups. ActRaiser has simulation scenes on it, and they're fun (even though I haven't found every item in that game).

Favorite: Platformers (any dimension), shmups, RPGs, puzzle, FPS (they're starting to grow on me)

Least favorite: Fighting (cuz mashing random buttons until a stereotypical karate guy/buxom ninja girl shoots a fireball out of their hands is not my idea of fun), Simulation (a lot of them are fun at first, but get boring quickly), sports

lol what the frig' man? You've got it all wrong with your opinion on fighting games....Since when was Street Fighter a Button Masher? There's a thing called skill...You can't just mash buttons. The same goes for SSB Melee and SSB Brawl. If you want to talk button mashers, then 'Soul Calibur' and 'Dead Or Alive' ring a bell...Yes those games involve skill, but you can still button mash your way to victory. I also can't stand Virtua Fighter or Tekken...

Super Street Fighter II HD Remix and SSBros Melee/Brawl are the finest fighters ever produced if you ask me. Both games require tons of skill. I can't stand fighters that are all about combo's....LIKE Tekken, Virtual Fighter, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur or the Dragon Ball Fighters. Street Fighter and Brawl are totaly different on the other hand...Not to mention Guilty Gear XX and Blaze Blue.

RPGs (action, turn-based, anything but tactical (and sometimes those too)
Sidescrollers

Least Favorite
Sports games
Puzzle games (most of them)
Donatello's stupid capital O mid-word thing, and subsequent skirting of the issue to unsuccessfully smack-talk Digiki

@Wrongcardo91 - yup gonna have to disagree with the fighting games opinion. Party-fighting games maybe, but real fighting games are some of the deepest experiences one can have in 2-player space. Soul Cal and DoA were horrible examples of button-mash-to-victory...either that or you're playing with equally inexperienced people. If you button mash against me in either of the above examples (VF and Tekken included), you will lose. Every fight. And I'm really not that great.

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.

Yeah, fighting games are some of the most tactical games around. The epitome really is Street Fighter III: Third Strike. You'll notice that button mashing will get you nowhere in it. It's less about moves and more about maneuvering and timing. Other good ones are Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus, Melty Blood: Act Cadenza ver.B and King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match.

And Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is fantastic, though button mashing does quite well in it.
