If by well developed you mean "IKEA style stock characters" and you're interested in playing games with the same 5 Man Band over and over again... I can't fault you.Koski said:
If you mean actually well developed characters, I'm afraid that the JRPG hasn't produced any of those for over a decade. It's depressing that in the last 2 final fantasy games I played I sympathised more with people who were "bad guys" much more than I did with the 5 Man Band.
Now Baldur's Gate II... that had characters.
As for games I hate... well uh... I don't hate the halo series, I just don't get the hype and think the guns are a bit dull... I don't actuall hate JRPGs, they just bore me a bit, I have enjoyed some of the earlier ones I played a fair bit, though never the later ones... just more of the same. I actually Like WoW. I enjoy 4X games. I like RTS games. I like (good) shooters, I tolerate mediocre ones.
I think the last game that I stopped playing because I thought "I am not enjoying myself" was Guild Wars.
I think that's a bit harsh. I don't really like the more recent ones as well as not all of them, and well, I consider myself to have a certain taste in JRPGS. Believe it or not, some of them vary in how they're done and it takes some time to find your own taste. As long it's entertaining.Archaeology Hat said:
JRPGs bore the ever-loving crap out of me. I like my games more...well, player-driven. I want to create the story, not watch it.
Console games in general I don't much like with the exception of sports and racing, where the simple controls lend themselves well to a controller and the consistency of hardware platform means that you don't wipe out because of a hitch in the framerate. The PC is just too inconsistent to be a viable platform for sports and racing.

Any sports game. I play games to do stuff i could never do in life. Not to golf with tiger woods (hey, it might happen!).
I might be alone on this, but...Wind Waker. Seriously. Realtime surfing in the slowest goddamn boat in the world, and having to change the wind direction every fucking time by going through a needlessly labored process with a wand, midget Link (sorry, I prefer the more mature bloke from OoT and TP)...oh yeah, the graphics, IMO, were ugly. Cel-shading can be done well, but I don't think that happened here. The quest felt needlessly laborious and pointless, and that's why I don't regret selling the damn thing.
....Bioshock I think is the game that pissed me off the most recently, and is definitely the only one I can think of at the minute. It makes matters worse when so many others love it so much. I found it vague in some respects, and linear and obvious in so many others. The villain pissed me off so much I almost exploded when

The audio-tapes were agony, because Ive seen people praise its story when outside of the usual FPS you-have-no-choice track (which they found a very inventive excuse for) these dull monotonous things were the only source of information on this (I have to admit) impressive underwater city.
The plasmids werent very exciting either, and the FPS parts (of which made up most of it) were far too unwieldy for my tastes. I found it increasingly difficult to use most of the conventional projectile weapons, with things like the homing rockets or the wrench being the most useable, and I should point out I can handle FPS?s quite well too.
Oh and it uses FPS cliché number 145, protecting something with the constitution of wet toilet paper from hordes of enemies that go straight for the essential thing-in-need-of-protection. I cannot even begin to fathom how anyone could even consider such a scenario interesting, let alone actually find it interesting in gameplay.
Edit: Completely forget to mention the most infuriating part -
I got through it though, sitting there in the final moments of the game slagging it off and wondering what was so special about it that got it such praise. I can say with absolute certainty that I wont be playing the second one.
The genre I hate most.... I could say these new "musical games" like Rock Band and Guitar hero, but despite the commercial buggery and selling out going on, I still respect that mostly they are just harmless fun, most likely when you are shitfaced. Not my thing, but I cant bring myself to hate it despite that. I think MMORPG's are my biggest hate. Some of the things I value most in RPG's are story along with characters and a sense of importance in the role I play as the protagonist. MMORPGs offer the exact opposite of these things, with no direct story, cardboard cut-out characters and the main objectives seemingly being grinding and PVP. All tucked together nicely with the prospect of sharing this game world with other people. Who are cocks. Mostly.
Also its a transparent way for developers to make lots and lots of cash, with the equivalent of so many game sales every few months. I prefer games I pay for once and offer an experience with substance. Not something paid for monthly that offers me zero substance.
it was the little bitchsters who killed him just in time before he killed me

If you let one of the little bitchsters you have to protect die by accident, the very ***** responsible for their current situation GUILT TRIPS YOU OVER IT! I wouldnt mind if it was because I blew their heads off, but it was completely because of the splicers not me.

I completely hated Final Fantasy Online XI.
I hate most turn-based games and sports games
I dislike Rythm / Music Games (Rockband / DDR)
I dislike learning impossible combos for fighting games. (I just suck at doing them.)
(Fighting games in general are usually an ~eh, (don't like/hate))
I don't think the turned-based style combat is anymore interesting in Pokeman then its is in Final Fantasy games. Or that Pokeman stands on it's own very well anymore. I liked Pokeman for road trips and played through the RED game (when it was new). I think the game got old quickly and adding new pocket monsters doesn't change that...it just gets too dull, formulaic and repetitive.
I don't hate Final Fantasy games, but I haven't played one since FF9(the only one I played through). I don't plan on playing more Final Fantasy games they're too similar. (Change characters/setting/newer graphics and you're almost done.) So again, it becomes much too dull, formulaic and repetitive.
I like FPS / RPG / RTS genres (generally)
Though I think every genre has several games that are overrated or overdone.
Some of these franchises should have stopped several games back.
Games I liked that I played recently: Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Warcraft III TFT.

I don't MIND turn based games, but what I do hate is all these "open world" games, Farcry 2 felt boring and unimmersive, Rockstar game in general disgust me, it's all "gangs, guns, hoes, drugs, sex, rap" NOBODY CARES.
And would people learn the difference between a game ACTUALLY being bad and their own opinion of it, there is a difference between a bad game and a game you don't like. for example, I can't stand WoW but it is not a bad game, I just don't like the fact it is over hyped and lacks in depth in the early stages. Halo is not a bad game, it IS original. "Oh but you fight aliens" I hear you say? Isn't there aliens in just just about everything these days, either aliens, zombies or both! "Well yes but you shoot guns" if you go as far to say that you may as well say any game with projectiles of sorts in it is terrible.
And honestly, if you complain about the health system in a game saying you don't have enough etc. that just means you are bad at the game, nothing else, everyone else has the same advantages and disadvantages as you do so stop your petty whining.
If you are going to complain about a game type at least stick to the facts and stop saying "it HAS" when it is your opinion say "I think".

Sports games aren't really my thing. Also, anything that replaces a "S" with a "Z" to sound extreme. I also despise anything with Imagine in the title.
I like most Genres, the one ones I outright hate as a whole are sports games/ racing games. Sports are racing? Boring as hell.
I don't "hate" these generes, but they just dont appeal to me: I think American RPGs are boring with all the level grinding, and everyone I've played having unlikeable combat. I like watching people play them when I'm at their house and they have no multiplayer games, because they still are really huge games with lots of gameplay decisions to make. The same thing goes for me with sports games, because they're too advanced for me, and I'm just okay at the ones I can manage (if i spelled that wrong, sorry) at the ones I like (skateboarding and wrestling games). Also, an individual game I hate would be Onechanbara: Bikini Sammurai Squad.
