In an order from most favorite to least, and exclude the genres you don't play.
For me it goes a little something like this: Action RPG > JRPG > WRPG > Platformer > Action Adventure > Hack and Slash/Dungeon Crawl > Rhythm/Music > Beat em Up/Brawler > First Person Shooter > Third Person Shooter > Classic Adventure/Visual Novel > Puzzle > Shoot em Up/Cute em Up > SRPG > Tower Defense > Fighter > Racing > Sim
-
My favorites are 3D Platforming (Banjo-Kazooie, Jak & Daxter, Mario 64), Shooters (Battlefield series, TF2, Metro, STALKER, Fallout 3), Action/Adventure (Zelda, Skyrim), RPG (Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy 7), and Cart Racers (Sonic All Stars Transformed, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart). My least favorites are sim games, realistic racing games, and sports, not sure what else I'd put at the bottom lol

Doesn't suck > Sucks > Sports.
-
Racing
Rhythm
RTS
Beat em Up
Shmup
Platformer
High Score Fests (70s/80s arcades)
Run n Gun
Hack n Slash
Fighting
The rest really depends on the game way more than the genre. RPGs are tough to put in the category. I always REALLY enjoy the first hour of an RPG. After that I kinda forget about them. But Phantasy Star, Shenmue, Mass Effect, I REALLY like.

Mine:
1. Action-RPGs
2. Metroidvania
3. 2D Shoot-Em Up (but not bullet-hells)
4. 2D Platformers (action-platformers, pure-platformers, or run-n-guns)
5. Action/Adventure
6. Survival-Horror (this really pertains specifically to Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, and Parasite Eve games)
7. First-Person Shooters (but not squad-based or realistic-military ones)
8. Guitar Hero/Rock Band
9. JRPGs (they really have to be good, and not too cutesy for me, so I'm quite picky with my JRPGs)
10. Tony Hawk games

And nobody finds my enjoyment of bad games wrong? :P
It's not that I'm not a fan of sports games. I love Nintendo World Cup and the like, it's just that most are cookie cutter / roster updates and... not my style.

The best sports games are ones that don't actually emulate the sport very well lol NBA Jam, NFL Blitz...uhh...probably the Mario and Mega Man soccer games. Mario generally had fun takes on sports stuff.

They may not add much each year, but sports games are fun. I like NCAA Football, NBA 2K, and Tiger Woods. They're fun.

Eh, I find sports games dull, just as I find watching the actual sports to be dull, so playing a dull genre involving something I find dull to watch, makes for a dull experience. Then you just add the sloppy yearly releases onto them and it puts them at the bottom of the barrel for gaming to me lol
It's like why I don't like realistic racing games, because there isn't anything all that fun to a car that handles like a real car, but being able to crash stupidly in Burnout or use weapons in something like Mario Kart or Sonic All Stars or have stupid huge set pieces like in Split/Second makes racing super awesome lol

Never would have thought you'd prefer to play games that you like over ones that you don't. Playing ones you don't like before playing sports? That I could see.

^ This.... Oh so, so this....

Mario Golf for the Gameboy Advance was a fun RPG/Sports game that I enjoyed.
From least to greatest, also putting sub-genres into the main category... Sports, Music, Fighting, Shooter, Simulation, Strategy, Hybrid, Platformer, RPG.

Oh and the sports game bashing thing is sooooooo tiresome. Millions upon millions are sold every year so they are popular or everyone wouldn't parrot the same tired cliche of lamenting that they find so many of them in thrift stores.

I don't like sports games, either. But I don't like sports in general. So for me to play a sports game would be akin to any of us playing Barbie Explorer. I do enjoy a good boxing game, wrestling game, Arcade-y Racer, or Tony Hawk game, though. Just not the traditional sports games like football, baseball, or basketball.

You don't happen to also greet people by saying goodbye, and depart with a enthusiastic hello? Because we are polar opposites.
Thread wasn't intended to bash genres. Actually, if people read what I posted. I said just exclude genres you don't like, and order ones you do in most favorite to least. Least favorite is not the same as most hated, or never played.

LOL I'm definitely the opposite of most here. Probably because I'm older than most here and grew up with the systems of the 70's and 80's and the genre's they introduced. I started getting out of console gaming in the mid-90's specifically because I didn't care for the new style of game being introduced and although I do own and enjoy games on the newer consoles, they're very selective and certainly not the ones that most people today enjoy. I don't own any super mario, zelda, COD, or anything that other's consider must haves.

I'm sure you didn't but it seems to happen regardless. Tis the nature of man ;)

Aha. You started to get out of it when I started to get into it, pretty much. For me, games have always been about unrealistic fantasy worlds. That's just the kind of content I love to play. Never was a big fan of things that simulate actuality.
