If you could do away with 1 gaming genre, what would it be?

None, really. JRPGs are pretty good, just not my type because they are mostly turned based, I love racing games, I've had fun with the occasional sports game, I like FPS's. and I can't think of much else to say. Just, none. They all stay.

Sports games.If you want to play a sport, go outside and play it! Video games are at their best for things that you cannot actually do in real life (at least not without getting arrested or something like that). Of course, this is all just my opinion, so take it as you will.

Sports games, why the hell would I play a videogame to simulate something I can do perfectly well with a few friends. I can sorta understand the appeal of sim games; after all I can't just go outside and become a pilot or a city planner. Sports is the one thing every able-bodied person can easily do, and thus it doesn't need to be a widespread fantasy.

No, no, you misinterpret. I'm essentially just saying what genre do you like the least.

Shooters of any kind. They've been overdone and are just boring now. Back in the day when Doom and Quake were like the only shooters was the best. Oops, forgot Goldeneye for N64 that was awesome too for having a group of friends over and playing deathmatches till your eyes fell out...sigh; how I miss those long forgotten days.

well i gotta say jrpgs. i am an rts/western RPg fan, but i can see the appeal in fps and racing games, i even know a couple people who are more casual gamers and enjoy a madden or hockey gaame they buy every couple of years, and i personally buy the last years madden every few years. when madden 12 comes out, ill probly get madden 11. However how could anyone like the jrpgs? anything they have done well have been done much better by western RPGs.

Movie-Games. They all, save one or two, suck balls and we should just stop trying. Might not be a legitimate genre, but they might as well freaking be.
well, what are theese few that you like?
Namely the X-men origins wolverine game, that was atleast decent and i had some fun with it. The second was Afro Samurai, but then again i think thats more an Anime-Game then a Movie-Game.

Other then those two, i have disliked pretty much all Movie-games (Iron-man anyone?)

games that are based soley around cover based combat and has no other appeal(lookin at you gears of war), there are just too many of them and its not a good enough combat style to justify that.

JRPGS.

Protaganists should be MANLY MEN. Doing MANLY THINGS.

Like Master Chief, or Kratos, or, um.....Wow. Can anyone of a really manly Nintendo-exclusive protagonist? I'm not trying to make fun of Nintendo, I honestly can't think of one.

No, seriously.

JRPGs. I'd go with Sports, but there's Tony Hawk's, Trackmania, Drift City and Project Powder in my way.

The FPS genre is the reason for most of the stereotypes and hate against games, so I pick that.

For me I would get rid of turn-based RPG's. Turn based is retarded. Worms is the only game that ever made it good.
Ok, your turn.

EDIT: either that or button mashie fightning games. They're all the same and none are fun.
I would agree with you there, but two of my favorite games ever are turn-based; Pokemon and the aforementioned Worms. I just bought Worms 2: Armageddon on my PS3 and it's fucking awesome.

Anyways, OT: I'd probably do away with the MMORPGer. I think so many people could be so much more productive if WoW and games like it were erased from the world.
I'm not saying that no other gamers waste their lives, but MMORPGers just have this was of sucking hours and hours and hours from someones life like no other game can.

No More Heroes and Madworld. May not be a Nintendo franchises, but they're still Nintendo exclusive.

Anyways, back on topic.
Sure sports games can be repetitve and FPS as been beaten to death, but motion control minigame compilations are the only games i actually feel dirty and ashamed to be playing. Its like, "why the hell am i embarrasing myself like this? Really? REALLY? I'm supposed to shake the Wiimote like THAT? Yeeeeah, thats not suggestive at all >_<. Great, Mario Party as oficially made me feel perverted! Thanks Nintendo!"
Do away with minigame compilations and give me back my pride T_T

None. If you take away a genre you hate, those people playing it will find their way into the genre you love playing:(
