Why is your favourite genre, your favourite genre?

Didn't you have a similar thread last week? lol

Anyway, I can name a lot of different genres that I always enjoy playing, but to simplify, my favorite would be narrative-driven FPS games. The likes of Halo, Half-Life, Wolfenstein, Doom, Titanfall 2, Crysis, Resistance, Killzone, System Shock, Prey, Deus Ex, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Dishonored, or Bioshock. All games that are so distinctly different from one another and some even in the realm for best games of all time.

Whether it's the approach to combat, gameplay, engaging story, characters, setting, or music, it all hits me differently from a first-person perspective.

This type of genre has seen a huge decline in recent years, but with AA games like Terminator: Resistance and Robocop: Rogue City or in the indie scene with the likes of Mouse: P.I. for Hire, Metal Eden, Fallen Aces, and Selaco. The AAA space offering Perfect Dark, Indiana Jones, and Judas, there's a lot to be excited for. 

Yeah but what I wanna know why. I wanna see if people get hooked on a genre for a completely different reason than myself. And yeah, I think we talked about this in the last thread, it's definitely a great genre and stuff like Robocop and terminator are AA games which we need more of. Ever tried Trepang2? I done the first mission recently, really cool stuff like a PS3 game. I hear turbo overkill is ps2 nostalgia bait and all.
