I voted for the 3rd option, although personally, my mood dictates what I want to play. And I can't say that I like all RPGs, or dislike all arcade games; it all depends on the game itself.
Specifically regarding games:
Turn-based strategies: of course, all the Heroes games:cool:, Disciples (probably that's all I've played in this genre). Not many, but they have a high impact:D; both series of games really "hooked" me.:)
Strategies: WarCraft 3:cool:, StarCraft, Spellforce 1, Warhammer, Hegimonia, and maybe something else (the last three + something else didn't really impress me, but that's okay):)
RPGs: only Suikoden 1. I played through the game as a Dark Elf, tried to play as a Gladiator – I got bored, and playing as a Mage was a suicide mission for me:mad:.
I don't really like third-person games; it's uncomfortable, although I did complete Max Payne 1:cool:, Mafia 1:cool:, and played a bit of: GTA (I don't remember which one), Silent Hill, and Hitman.
Among first-person shooters, the ones that really impressed me were: Wolfenstein:cool:, IGI 2:cool:, Call of Duty:cool: (is that how it's spelled correctly?). I prefer realistic military shooters over horror games where some crazy artist's sick fantasy comes to life around every corner, with 8 heads and 95 tentacles:eek:.
Of the racing games, the ones I completed were: Underground and NFS (I think it was the third one). There were others, but I didn't play them for long.
I haven't played many flight simulators; you could say I haven't played them at all.
Fighting games – only Mortal Kombat (and the Sega version).
Pure adventure games – only Siberia, and even that got boring quickly – the game is beautiful, but very dull.
Now – I almost don't play anymore – I don't have the time. Once a month, I'll sit down to play a Heroes 5 scenario, but I don't have the patience to finish it.
