That poll shows just why the opinion of the internet gaming community is moer or less worthless most of the time.

Shooters (1st and 3rd) in the end. Its where most of us gamers (me included) find most of their time playing.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I've had to put 'other' because the game I want hasn't been done yet.

In my ideal game you would be dropped into a wild environment and have to survive alone. You'd have to make shelter from the whether, hunt and gather food, arm yourself with makeshift weapons and battle the creatures that inhabit the world alone. When you die, you die for good and have to start again. But the experience you gain from your first playthrough gets moved across to your second playthrough.

There would be an online mode similar to Dayz but this too is effected by how well you've played the singleplayer.

You pretty much just described Don't Starve.

You are a terrible person for not including RTS in the poll. Which is objectively the best genre. Non-negotiable.

Hack n Slash....It's a dying genre (along with beatem-ups) because so many devs. can't make a decent one. It's always been my favorite but since not many are being made, I had to settle with other genres like platforms.
