Favorite Genre of Games

[Sentimental Gentleman]

I suppose I play a little of all kinds of genres here and there, but my absolute favorite games are RPGs and Beat 'Em Ups (think Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Dynasty Warriors, not Street Fighter or Guilty Gear, fun as those games are...). I can find myself getting lost in a story and a world in games like that; I feel fully incorporated into a virtual existence, after a fashion. Yes, that goes for Beat 'Em Ups too; I find the simplified control schemes allow for some of the most elegant and beautiful instances of combat in gaming.
