That's such a worn-out argument against music games, I wish people would stop using it. Perhaps people don't want to learn how to play the real thing - ever think that they just want the experience? You know, the whole POINT of video games, giving you an escape from reality. To say "you could be using your time and money to learn a real instrument" instead of playing a music game makes about as much sense as saying you could be spending your time and money learning to shoot a real gun rather than playing an fps.camokkid said:
As for genres I dislike, that'd be fighting games. I have a severe problem with the lack of any story, and repetitive gameplay.
J-RPGs and I suppose most RPGs
I'd rather have 8-12 hours of genuine excitement, fun and engaging gameplay with a neat and compact story than 80-120 hours of meh, grinding and overly drawn out story. 10 times as long and per minute it is about a tenth as enjoyable may add up to just as good for many people but I just doesn't work that way for me.
But equally I dislike games where the single player is under 6 hours long... that is just taking the piss and extra modes like co-op and multiplayer should be mainly a supplement to, not a substitute of the single player. Though IW have always struggled to give the quantity to go with their quality, I remember COD2 and COD4 also ending fairly abruptly too.
I wish there were more games like Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess that take about 20 hours for the main quest and another 20 hours to max out to 100%. But that is more of an Action-RPG and I suppose you see a similar setup thing (yet still very distinct style) with Mass Effect or even Bioshock.

Guitar hero games, anything in that area I hate. I don't like playing it and I've had a group of friends over just egging me on while they hammer down on the clacking keys while playing songs I hate as well, the room shaking of course. I try to just be nice and let it go but it really drives me nuts.

I hate driving games, I really am terrible at them and I get no joy from driving around and around >.>
There is not such a thing like HATE a type of game or a genre,it's just only what you prefer and enjoy most !!! I'm not really into the sports games like Pro Evolution but I like FIFA street and Championship Manager (beware very addictive game !!) and Racing games ,the most recent I played was Moto gp and Forza. J-Rpgs,Rpgs,RTS and Beat-em up games are liked most from retro gamers, who played these games when the only thing you saw were pixels, but back then we didn't think that this was a problem and neither now.Generally , I think , it's better to try something out before you condemned it,I really found games that I really enjoy which in first look I wouldn't get near them. 
Hate is a very big word for it but I do not like Sport Gamesunless its multiplayer dicking around
I'm the same, can't stand driving games mainly because I suck at them and even if I were good, I still wouldn't enjoy them.Red|Zombie said:
I'm not a fan of FPS. I'm not good at them, don't have the twitches or aiming ability to well in them. Plus they are starting to see really over hyped and over done lately.
