I dont like sports games that much.........I mean if you want to play tennis or soccer go to a freaken park AND PLAY!!!. You cant say that for FPS though, it would sound like.....if you want to shoot stuff then go to a freaken mall AND SHOOT!!!

I really don't hate any genre , I really don't enjoy sports games or fighting games, but I wouldn't outright refuse to play them.



Also why do I think this will turn into a let's hate on JRPGs thread.

I have never been a fan of sports games, I always said why play a game about something you can do in real life...but then again I can't really play professional sports in real life...hmm.

But the truth is If the game is good enough the genre doesn't matter to me.

Look at all those buttons!
Awesome, look at all those buttons, equipment, interface and boss!
Bet I could tell what all the buttons do. :)
And what does he do in ICC without any addons?

Anyway, sport games for me. Racing games are ok but football or ice hockey are just booooooooring.

The only genre I "dislike" is Sports, mainly because I just don't really see the fascination with it as such. I can't really say I hate it though.

The trouble these days mainly comes in when you're trying to actually assign genres to games, these days they're all mixed, RPG and Action seem inseparable these days and most FPS games include some light RPG elements, and then there's the Sandbox, which these can mean anything from RTS-light to Action game to shooter to RPG. Hell even RTS games tend to add RPG elements these days (if only in character advancement).

beaten to the punch. I'll make a small exception for those racing games where you get to wreck other cars, but dont think i count Blur or Split Second among them (too much racing). The only one that qualifies for me is CARMAGEDDON!!

Rhythm games, why? Just why? (awaits floods of "it's fun with friends" argument)

Constant click, click, click and the way you play the game is awful, I played it twice and just felt like a massive tool, bored out of my mind just wanting it to end.

I don't really hate any genres. There are some I don't play very often. The sports games, for one. It's not that I don't enjoy playing them, it just seems to be the same game over and over with new team members. I used to play them a lot more, when they were a tad more generic and didn't have a new one every year. Although I do tend to play the Golf games, mostly because they give you new courses to try.

Also, MMOs, I just don't like grinding that much. I played Guild Wars for a couple months, but then I got tired of it.

I love video games. But there are just some genres that I cant fucking stand to play for even one second. JRPG and RTS. For the longest time I thought that I hated all RPGs, then I played some Western ones and then I realized that I hate Japan's RPGs. I hate every last Final Fantasy. I just find RTS to be boring and dull. I don't want to be giving orders and watching the ants get slaughtered, I want to be on the front lines kicking some ass. What gaming genres do you absolutely hate?
pretty much the same for me. except i do like to rent a real time strategy every once in a while when i forget that the controls for consoles suck. oh, and civilization is pretty interesting, except i wouldnt call that an rts

Sports games - they're pointless, play the real thing.
That's incredibly flawed logic. You could say that about ANY game. Like FPS games? Join the Army.
The Army is nothing like most FPS games, something AA3 is trying to explain, plus you can die.

Like JRPGs? Move to fucking Japan, buy some bright colored clothes, and get a stupid haircut.
That doesn't do it at all, that's just a stupid idea.

Like flight sims? Buy a plane. Get my point?
That costs a lot of money. Playing basketball or soccer is entirely free. Playing hockey costs a few bucks for ice and skate rental.

PC FPS games. They just don't work if you ask me, it shouldn't be a continuing market. FPS should be limited to console. Similarly, console RTS games should be stopped. They also do not work and should be limited to PC.

wow really almost all of you hate jrpgs, how many have you even played? you can't just play one and say you hate them, i mean hell play tales of symphonia or tales of vesperia they are considered jrpgs but you never once go into a menu to click the attack button and make them attack its basically a fighting game with a shit ton of special moves and you level up, or star ocean which is similar to it, or how about infinite undiscovery well yeah sure it was a shit game but it wasnt one where you went into menus to attack, stop being so god damn blind and hating on things you dont know about



that being said i dont usually enjoy puzzle games

sports.

you could go back to like 1990 and play a sports game, then come to today and play the the 20th version of that same line of games and nothing but the graphics has been significantly changed.

Gotta disagree with the RTS stance for ya, it's much more than just giving orders and watching. On the other hand, I hate console RTS and sport games.
