I mostly play everything, but I can not stand racing sims or MMOs. However, I am rather fond of SRPGs and arcade-type racing games.

I love:
RPG
Hack & Slash: Diablo-Torchlight and so on
Atmosperic horror, for example Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth
Platform games, including puzzle platformer and action-platformer genre
Bullet hell games
Survival (without horror-aspect: for example Neo Scavenger)
Few, non-competitive FPS games: Borderlands 1-2, Fallout 3-NV (alro RPG, but let's face it, gameplay is FPS/TPS)
Turn Based Strategie - long live Heroes of Might and Magic!
Terraria, Windforge - games with overall open world and lots of possibilities.

Don't like:
Real Time Strategy multiplayer: I know the best wins, but I simply don't like the rush/mass tactic. For example: Age of Mythology: villager rush vs massive battles with lategame mythical creatures... later is just more fun for me :)
Racing games, excluding Revolt and Lego Racers. "Simple" racing games are not too intresting for me.
Competitive multiplayer FPS: well, my laptop is not too strong to get high FPS, plus the fact that I suck at these games also don't help too much :P
Simulators: I love a simulation as an expression about something being lifelike, usually about difficulty. But I don't like the endless farming-trashcar-train-airplane-etc simulators.
JUMPSCARE HORROR GAMES
Sport games... I've played a little with fifa '98 demo back in my time, I liked it, but I didn't get hooked on the genre.

jRPG isn't a genre, it's a regional term.

It's actually a sub-genre, just like tactical shooters.

"It's actually a sub-genre"
No it's not.
wRPGs and jRPG are regional terms.

There is no definition of how a Japanese game should play as opposed to a Western one which is why we don't apply j and w to each genre.

I knew that there are going to be people like you so I put a little disclaimer in the post "obviously what constitutes as a genre might be different from person to person"

Please read first, then think and then comment thanks :)

I hate RTS, MOBA, Point and Click RPGs, not even mentioning all F2P games.

Like:

  • Stealth games (truly stealth, not "you-can-sneak-past-but-you-may-as-well-kill-'em-all")
  • Point and click adventures
    • Horror games (those with kinda spooky atmosphere, not those that rely on jump scares)
  • Logic puzzles
  • (MMO)RPGs

Dislike:

  • Pure shooters (COD, CS...)
  • Pure PVP games ("MOBAs")
  • Those "runners", where all you have to do is run really fast lest the left side of your screen murders you. Seriously hate those with passion O.o

Like:
RPG
Platformer*
Fighting
Games with some sort of interesting story -or- games I can sit down and play for a few minutes in my spare time.

Dislike:
PUZZLE platformers - Why must they all have puzzles these days?
Puzzle games in general - mystery and/or "actual" puzzles (ie jigsaws) are ok. I suck at them so my whole experience is following a guide step-by-step.
Most of the new survival/horror games. They'd just end up giving me nightmares.
Racing games.

Most first person games. It's not really a genre, but most of them tend to make me sick pretty fast.

I like most genres, especially fps, rpg and point & click. I don't like most platformers, roguelikes and sports games. Simulators are mostly boring, as well as fighting games. Bullet Hell and sidescrollers are often either too difficult or not fun enough.

I don't believe you. if you disliked games you likely wouldn't A) have a steam account, and B) be on a website in which you enter giveaways to get a free game.

There are entirely too many genres for me to summarize them all, but from the ones you mentioned:

I dislike:
-Walking simulators
-Sport games
-MOBA
-MMO
-Simulator
-Hidden Object
-Point & Click

And like all the other ones.

Not gonna bother with a full list since I tend to like a bit of (almost) everything, but my favorite genres are RPGs and strategy games. JRPG, WRPG, SRPG, ARPG, even MMORPG, I like them all. Same with strategy. Whether it's Grand Strategy, turn-based, real-time, tower defense, whatever.

Genres I don't like much are horror (most horror games are boring with maybe some jump scares which doesn't interest me), point-and-click adventure (there are some games in this genre I absolutely love like Grim Fandango, but most of them just don't interest me and I don't have the patience for pixel-hunting or "use everything on everything" style puzzles.

Then there are games I do enjoy, but I don't play them much because I really suck at them, like most platformers.

I actually like basically every genre. I don't know how people can keep playing the same genre's without mixing it up. Lol I have a huuge variety of games I play but if I had to dislike one it would most likely be sports (I basically play no sports games, but when I do I find them fun sometimes).

I like most genres, just not MOBAs, Walking simulators, and most sports games (old tony hawk games, MVP 2005, and Jet Set Radio being the exceptions). Also not a huge fan of racing sims or MMOs but I wouldn't say I dislike them.
I'd have to say my favorite genre would be JRPGs or Fighting even though I'm not incredibly good at fighting games. Those BBCP finals at evo tho.
