So this pops up often but it's been picking at me for a while. I frequently see people and, more surprisingly, game critics frequently compare certain genres to certain groups of people and vice versa. They are claiming that the people who enjoy, say, JRPs don't like games like Halo or Call of Duty, or that those who play stealth games primarily hate shooters, or strategic shooting game players disliking arcade run and guns Even Western RPGers disliking Japanese RPGs. I'm interested in seeing if this hold true to the escapist community.
So, hit me with your preferred genre, and then your least preferred genre. Not necessarily one you don't play or that you hate, but the one you play the least. To round things out, explain why you don't play them as much. Now I want you to look back at what you wrote and tell me if you fall into a common generalization.
I personally fall into the "Western RPG fans don't like JRPGs." I do try the occasional JRPG that's different from the rest to see if this still applies however.
