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.Rutskarn said:
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.
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.team star pug said:
Other then those two, i have disliked pretty much all Movie-games (Iron-man anyone?)
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.
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.THEJORRRG said:
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.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
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
