It depends on why I am playing. I prefer RPG games, hands down, when playing by myself. Social gaming however, I'd rather play a shooter, such as COD. Co-op on RPG is OK but shooters have a more competitive aspect for social gaming.

I like both. Fallout, Mass Effect, and Elder's Scrolls are the best. They are a mix of both.

I love games with a great storyline mostly, and I also prefer strategic elements to senseless action. I guess I'd lean more for RPGs, though it's been quite a while since I played a proper RPG (eg. Final Fantasy). My favorite games on the Xbox-360 are the Arkham series, the Mass Effect series and L.A. Noire; these are pretty much the only ones I've played in fact.

I agree. I haven't played the other twos, but Mass Effect was a perfect mix of every genre: great story, great action, great RPG elements.

Beware the PC Master Race! Calling Final Fantasy an "RPG" rather than a "JRPG" can bring their wrath down on you.

Actually, for the last several games, calling Final Fantasy an RPG at all is a serious stretch. They've been little more than interactive movies as far as I'm concerned.

I may have played a few minutes of Doom and Wolfenstein back in the day, but otherwise, the last shooting game I put any serious time into was probably Duck Hunt or Hogan's Alley =P

Safe to say it's RPG for me, whether the JRPG, CRPG, or pen and paper variety.

I've always gravitated towards RPGs, I don't get bored of them as quickly as I do with shooters.

I suck at first person shooter games. I totally bombed at Assassin Creed. No patience for them.

RPG's: Dragon Age - Origins played numerous times: Warrior, Rogue, Mage. Rogue is my favorite. Like the picking locks, picking pockets, snaking in shadows. Skyrim, Dragon Age -Inquisition - (currently playing).

For me, it comes down to mood. In the long haul, a good RPG or realtime strategy game would be more satisfying but there are times when I just want to run around blowing shit up.

I'm not very acquainted with all those abbreviations, but my first game was Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Loungeroom Lizards, adventure games they were called back then. The last game I seriously played was the first splinter cell. If I had to gamble, I'd call them RPGs. Don't like those games, were it's shoot or be shot.

I definitely lean more to first shooter games. And until a few years ago never played online, so I've always played the campaign section of a game. But it has to do with not having enough time to invest in RPG games, so that I'm satisfied with the result.
For the last few month I've been exclusively playing Sniper Elite 3 on the PS3, multiplayer. It's fun when coz it combines skill with some strategy as the maps force you to need cover from teammates.

I don't play either...but I do shoot Glock pistols competitively, in real life, with a real Glock 34 pistol, and real 9mm cartridges...does that count?

To be fair, I did try to play a first-person shooter game once--it was something where you went down a dark hallway with a "pistol" and a "flashlight"--but I was so frustrated with the lack of actual reality that I gave up very quickly.

I use to stay away from Role Playing Games, however I seem to find myself playing them more nowadays. I think it's due to the strategy aspect of them as opposed to the run 'n gun style of most shooters. The problem I find with shooters nowadays is that they are so multiplayer focused that the single player aspect is almost non-existent.

I'm definitely RPG, because I like the strategy, the quest aspects and in the one I like best, the ability to make teams and swap characters to different quests.

I was never great at sport or racing gaming. But the RPG games suit my "Id" to solve puzzles, figure out best way to tackle different opponents, and reason out clues/hints given toward solving (eventually) the end game. I'm in Dragon Age Inquisition now (preordered at gaming store & picked up.when they did late opening for all preorders) for 180+ hours. I started over once, so I've actually played over 200 hours. I've done Dragon Age Origins 4 or five times, as rogue, warrior and once as a mage (didn't like Mage, but son does). Also done Fable II, Fable III multiple times and started Fable Anniversary, but not completed yet, still in Skyrim too, with many hours of enjoyable gaming, and still not finished.

But my family had a saying that "The Old Maid kissed the cow, cause she liked it better that her boyfriend's kisses." So its good there is variety do so many people can enjoy the experiences.

RPG's, as I prefer a solo, cerebral experience. Never was good at FPS, except for Goldeneye 007 back in the day on N64.

I prefer RPGs over shooter games, but a RPG-shooter hybrid can be fun.

RPGs. I do enjoy getting lost in a good story. Also, when you have a quality open world RPG such as the Fallouts/Skyrim etc, exploring those worlds is a whole lot of fun.

Hands down--role playing-you can really get lost in the game

By far prefer RPGs, but love when they have some elements of shooters. I want a good story that I can play through.
