Most of them . I love RPGs of all kinds . JRPGS , ARPGS, western RPGS etc etc .

[Seraphim]

indeed. Turn Based, Action, Hybrid, Tactical [though not a huge fan of I still have a soft spot for some] and whatever else. They all have a place. Long as it's enjoyable/fun and better yet if it has a good or interesting story I'll take it.

I don't like western RPGs. I prefer JRPG it's by habit I guess.
Reason I prefer JRPGs is that the main character has a soul, and he's most of the time in the center of the story. In western games you create you character give him personality it's never as deep. Also first person view and RPGs don't fit together in my world

@bouzebbal - I probably prefer JRPGs myself but The Witcher, Divinity, Diablos just name a few are pretty dam great. Elder Scrolls too at times. You certainly can't say Geralt in The Witcher didn't have soul. Western RPGs in number pale in comparison to how many JRPGs there are out there tho. And most of my favorite RPGs are undoubtably JRPGs. Regardless, there's a time and place for all of them and they should all have a place in each gamers heart, shelf, digital collection...

Turn-Based jrpg's will always be my favourite. I've replayed Legend of Dragoon countless times and I never get tired of it. The persona games always give me quite the fix I need too.

Real time combat and more western like mass effect, I recently finished HZD and loved it. It was even more impressive knowing GG went from making FPS to open world RPG and knocked it out of the park on their first try

I personally don't like turned based combat

Pokemon introduced me to turn based combat system. Loved it.
Before that, I also thought they weren't fun.

Western RPGs are lame and incomparable to FF, DQ, KH, Nier Auto, Persona etc. With few exceptions like GOW, The Witcher 3 and couple of others.

RPG, FPS and Sports games are my favorite genre of PC games. I hate it when people keep saying it RPG games, it is like saying ATM machine, it is redundant.

The ones I've liked the most (relatively) recently have been the likes of Fallout 3/4 and Skyrim. The problem with them is that the main story and the vast majority of characters are bland as hell which isn't a problem you get with Japanese RPGs which are full of character. That's where TW3 shines also.

I class From games as RPGs and those are pretty much the only JRPGs that appeal to me. The colourful anime style just doesn't do it for me now.

[SonyStyled]

None of them.

[FlavorLav01]

ARPGs all the way! Soulsborne games, GOW, Nioh, Bioshock, Dishonored, Infamous SS, Fable, etc..

To each their own of course, but the rest feel so slow or cheesy to me. If you want to read everything - pick up a book(choose your adventure). If you want a turn based game - play cards(Magic or D&D). They just don’t feel like actual video games to me, more like interactive e-books. Strategy happens in real time, so why would I stand their and let my opponent hit me. 😆

[TheColbertinator]

I like all types of RPG games. I welcome anything so long as it is not mobile junk.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I prefer JRPGs and turn based games myself, I tend to lose interest quickly in alot of WRPGs and some ARPGs.
