- Turn-based and tactical RPGs. I'm also including games like Dragon Age in this, where I consider the ability to pause and set your moves close enough to "turn-based".

- FPS single-player games with RPG elements and/or abilities that let you tackle situations in different ways. Fallout, Far Cry, Borderlands, and Dishonored are in this category.

1. RPG
2. Platformer
3. Beat 'em up / hack 'n slash

Beyond these three I do enjoy many others, but when I hear these genres I immediately take notice.

This.

Hmmmm that is really tough. For this year it has been:

RPG - specifically JRPG (Xenoblade Chronicles X)
Space Simulator (Elite Dangerous).

Have spent hundreds of hours on those 2 games this year.

A majority of my favourite games of all time are JRPG's, so that's easily number 1. The second one though is much more difficult. Action-adventure might be it, but it's such a generic title for a genre that it covers all kinds of different games. Well, for lack of a better term, action-adventure it is. Honorable mentions go to fighting games and platformers (both 2D and 3d)

Yeah I'll admit I have been there a few times myself =P.

I don't bother with SCII PVP though because of people like this:

Yeah Koreans are god tier at the game but that isn't to say other people from around the world aren't either, I've faced enough people in the past to know that quick and damaging early rushes or massive cheese builds can win the game, I just decide to avoid all that by not playing lol.

But yeah I can relate with the age part, I'm even starting to feel like I'm too old for PVP shooters because I'm not as sharp as a hawk let alone having the speed of a grasshopper with reflex timing.

Oh and I still play with AI on most RTS titles =P, for C&C though I recently found a new way to actually connect and play with hundreds of other folk for free. Basically I can now play C&C Generals, Generals ZH, C&C 3, Kane's Wrath and C&C Red Alert 3 all online, C&C 4 is still online last I checked but we'll not talk about that last game that cost us the franchise.

First Place : RPGs

Second Place: Survival Horror/Strategy/Adventure/Action

Platformers and RPGs..

"Open World" ala GTA and.....TBSJRPG's ala Final Fantasy Tactics. I really don't know TBH. It's a tough call.

RPG's (JRPG's if I'm being super specific. I do like WRPG's, but prefer JRPG's.) and action. The Wonderful 101, both Bayometta games and the Warriors series are my favorites.
