my favorite genre would definitely be role playing gaming. This genre ,IMO, takes more work and dedication to be good at.
It takes quite some time to level your character, get him the perfect build you have been meticulously and fervently planning and working toward, to get the same build worked to muscle memory so that you can execute moves buffs and maneuvers without much thought. The amount of time and gray matter needed can be mind boggling.
Also RPG's tend to have an involving mythos, either through the traditional story line,side quests, optional information hubs and recourses, or through the culture itself that the world houses. Even games that can be seen to have no story such as Monster Hunter actually have a story in that the story exists in the adventure that the gamer goes through and the small tidbits of information revealed in the quest dialog that many tend to overlook.
Lastly, the burgeoning multi-player aspect of the RPG seen both in MMORPGS and smaller scale multi player RPG's are a delight to play. The challenge this genre offers brings forth a sense of competitiveness and drive towards being as close to perfection as possible makes for a very engrossing and engaging experience.
