Honestly, they haven't changed at all.

Srsly.

[Levian]

Minimally!

I've grown a dislike for FPS games and haven't enjoyed any since Goldeneye. I don't think I would enjoy playing Doom or any other PC FPS game I used to play when I was younger. Never liked sports or racing games, so that hasn't changed.

one thing that I suppose has changed a bit is that I'm often bored with sidescrollers, but that has more to do with the games changing than me changing.

I don't think my tastes have changed too much. I still play all of the genres I've always played which are all over the place. The only thing I really shy away from are sports games, but that's more because I don't like most sports that said games are based on, and have always enjoyed actually playing the ones I do like far more.

The only real shift has been gaining a greater appreciation for competitive games and being much less likely to buy RPG's and much more likely to focus only on very high quality titles. Part of it is not having as much time and money now, but the biggest part of that is just wanting more originality and innovation, and much better made titles. RPG's kind of suffer from that desire the most because so many these days are derivative, generic and uninspired. RPG's were probably the titles I played the most growing up but I might buy one or two a year tops now because most just aren't worth playing.

Used to prefer Japanese games, especially RPGs and Survival Horrors, with occasional additions, such as Metal Gear Solid.

I still prefer those actual games. I'm more open at playing others, like first-person shooters, but I find them too simple and repetative. I've grown to love strategy games as well, but that started very early on in my gaming experiences.

So yeah, haven't really changed a lot.

Oh, and I still find Fighters and Sport Games to be a waste of time

Really hasn't changed much (still play mostly RPGs or platformers) though in the last year I've started to get into fighting games.

[Captain Maxx Power]

It's shifted more towards RPGs, especially around the time when I first got into them with FF7. Before then I was pretty much purely an action-game guy; FPSes mostly. The first computer game I ever played was Wolfenstein 3D. Mostly I just play whatever I feel like from a number of genres, barring sports and racing.

[AntRid]

I used to play big AAA titles and ignore everything else but now I’m more open to inde titles. I also hated sports games and I still do! Hate sports in all its forms.

My taste changed till I stopped gaming. I have lost my sense of taste.
