no, jrpgs are still my favorite genre. but you really have to be carefull not to consume to much of your favorite because then you start to get bored of it. i noticed that when there were a lot of these games during ps2 era. i guess a lot of people have this problem with shooters now.

I don't hate FPS games anymore. I now prefer WRPG to JRPG



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

When I started playing on consoles, the biggest genres were platforms and beat'em'up games like Final Fight or Streets of Rage. Nowadays (good) platformers are a 'rara avis' and beat'em'ups are mostly dead.

What do I play nowadays? I've learned to enjoy almost anything: third and first Person Shooters, strategy, RPGs, racing, tycoon, etc. As long as I can have fun, any genre is welcome.

I went from platformers to fighting games to rpg's now fps games have had the longest hold on me but I feel like rpg's might take me again. time will tell

Platformers, to beat 'em' Ups, to fighting, to RPGs.

As an N64 owner it was all about the 3D Platformer, since then though I main JRPGs and other Japanese games. Also the complete lack of awesome 3D Platformers sucks =(

Sad, but true  

@OP:

My taste has changed a little since I branched out to different genres, but my favorite genres (platform and action-adventure) have remained pretty consistent. The biggest change has probably been RPGs. When I was a kid I didn't really "get" them, but as an adult I love them. I now have two in my top five games of all time.

Still, my heart will probably alway belong to platform games and action-adventure games

Variety....

I have turned away from FPSs a bit, though I was never really into them. I would play more RPGs (especially jRPGs) if there more, but it varies more from game to game rather than just pre-defined genres

All I can say is my most anticipated game this year is probably FF X HD, which was my favourite game over 10 years ago, so I guess I haven't changed that much
