As for myself, I'm someone who enjoy stories. Since my childhood, I like to play games because of the adventures you can live in the simulation. I think that's why I love RPGs like Final Fantasy and adventure games like Telltale stuff. For me, it's like a movie, but you have control of the events, so you are the main character.

What about you?

The same, its the stories, and I too view it much like reading a book or watching a movie.
Other than that, I enjoy a good platformer, for the sense of accomplishment of just inputting the right button presses at the right moments to get through a level.... or puzzeling out something slightly tricky (puzzle game, or tower defense), or maybe optimiseing "my own" build path in a rpg. Run off exploreing the world...  So theres differnt elements to differnt genres of games that can appeal to one, each one equally valid.

For me it's a coping mechanism/escape from reality.

I can come home from a gnarly job where I tried to keep a kid alive from a drug overdose or cut someone out of a car... Or scale down a cliff to get someone onto a helicopter and fire up a game and forget it all.

For people that live less exciting lives than you.... it can be the reverse.
This time your the one on a adventure, scaleing down a cliff ect  (something you wouldn't do in real life).
