I wanna do something cool in the video game forum. Let's have everyone 'vote' their favorite video game genre (only one, please!) , and I will make a bar graph and maybe even a pie graph (if I can figure that one out) of what the most popular genre is. Of course I will have to list all the usernames who 'voted' so that someone who forgets wont have to vote twice. We can't do combination genres like Action-adventure. What primary genre appeals to you the most? Simply 'vote' and include one-to-several reasons why the genre is your favorite.

So here we go! Genres are:

--Action
--Adventure
--MISC (similar to other, contains genres separate from the primary list, like Music. Ask if you think your genre goes in here or somewhere else)
--RPG
--Strategy (Real-time Strategy, Puzzle, MOBA, Tactical, Turn-based, etc.)
--Shooter (FPS, third-person, spaceship shooter, top-down, etc.)
--Sports (includes racing)
--Simulation (Goat simulator, baking simulator, burglar simulator, X simulator)

I'll kick it off by 'voting' RPG and begin construction once I have a sizable amount of 'votes'. The graph(s) will be updated as we continue. HAJIMEDAZOU!

Adventure: 4
RPG: 6
Strategy: 6
Shooter: 1
Sports: 1
Simulation: 3

I don't play a lot of video games, but when I did, the ones I enjoyed most were baseball, football, soccer, skating, and racing. Shooters would be a close second, but sports comes in first as a genre for me.

It would be a choice between Adventure and Shooters, but ultimately I would have to say Shooters! I simply love to feed bullets to everything tht moves (or doesn't) and cause mayhem while relaxing in my spare time! A good example are the Decision series and the TLS series! Shooters for the win!!!

My vote is for simulation.

The reason I'm voting for simulation games is because they usually contain both RPG and Strategy elements of gameplay. Simulation games usually give the feeling of progress with the RPG elements, plus creative (and sometimes sandbox) style game play.

Considering the overlap between the RPG, strategy, and simulation games, how do you define each category?

Suppose a user votes for the action genre, but he really only enjoys the action games because of the RPG elements in them. Should he choose the RPG category instead?

I can help you with the pie graph if you have Excel. I could make it for you if you wanted.
