Board 8 > On average, do you find yourself liking sci-fi or fantasy more?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Obviously there are very good works from either genre that you like more than the average work of the more favored one, but still. I find myself enjoying sci-fi more on average.

Sci-fi definitely.

Sci-fi, I love both, but I definitely prefer sci-fi thanks to Asimov and Arthur C Clarke

Fantasy if I am reading or role-playing.
Sci-Fi if I am watching.

I think overall, I enjoy Sci-Fi a tad more, because that also generally encompasses more Horror type things, which is my favorite genre of entertainment.

Fantasy. Love the feel of a fantasy world much more than I do a futuristic sci-fi one. Probably why FFIX is my favorite RPG.

Pretty much this, except I'd lean towards Fantasy more overall.

basically even

though the best is sci fi fantasy! (Star Wars)

On average, I'd go sci-fi. But it's not really a fair comparison, since it seems there's way more sci-fi in the stuff I'm into than fantasy. Movies, TV, anime, games, comics, fantasy is pretty rare compared to sci-fi there.

That said, I like them equally.

Damn. I'd say it's more horror-y than Sci-Fi, and definitely has a lot of Fantasy.

But too bad your ass got SAAAAAAAAAAACKED.*tackles*

Sci-fi I guess, but I only like specific instances from both genres. Like, I won't browse the Sci-Fi section at the book store or anything.

Though, I think that applies to everything I read. I most just read the same books over and over again.

Generally fantasy.

Sci-fi (especially written sci-fi) has a tendency to try to explain the science behind why their future tech works, but authors tend to make terrible scientists so their explanations are usually terrible and make me wish they had left it unexplained.

Sci-fi also has a greater tendency towards annoying made-up words. The Star Wars novels are some classic offenders here. Just the names of materials things are made out of piss me off: durasteel, plasteel, transparisteel, ferrocrete, SHUT THE **** UP. And don't get me started on space-ified spellings of normal English names. I don't care how many Qs and apostrophes you spell your name with.

Star Wars isn't really science fiction. People assume it is because it's in space but no. Maybe the books are different but I doubt it.

I dunno. A tie. I love them both.

Read better stories then.

Quite the contrary.

Steam.

Sci-fi is my favorite genre, but that's mostly because there are many more and better writers in that genre. (Asimov being my favorite) If there were steam writers of the same quality it would be number one by miles.

Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.

It really depends. Not into most sci-fi unless it's like Star Wars or GUNDAM. I hate most fantasy unless it's like Dragon Quest.
