Least Favorite Gaming Genre

[Dexiro]

I don't really have a least favourite genre. If anything it'd probably be sports, but i can't say i've never had fun playing a sports game.

Not much for RTS either but it's one of those genres that i'm open too. I'm sure i could get some fun out of some of them if i was playing with friends.

Sports games first, but then after that generally puzzle games, like things coming out of PopCap games. Zuma, Bejeweled... e.t.c.

-RTS's even though I like to play them sometimes, a lot of them seem more like rock, paper, scissors battles where it doesn't matter how much I upgrade unit x cause unit y will always beat it even with better armor, dmg, etc..
-Sports games, mostly cause I loathe sports in general.

party and music games there pointless and just make you look like a retard

probably sports games, it's the only genre i can think of where i can't really pick a game i actually enjoyed playing

Sports games.
WTF? if you want to throw a ball then go do it outside! Doing it on screen defeats the purpose of sport.

RTS games.
I know you have to THINK in them, but i play games to get AWAY from thinking! Isn't that the point? But I'll still play them every now and then.

Edit: car games too.

going to go with the majority and say sports games, I don't outright hate them it just doesn't seem like a fun time to me.


Also sims mainly because like RTS's I'm shit at them and don't play them.

JRPGs, I'm as western-oriented as you get, don't like anime or turn-based gameplay.

What about X-Com, that's pretty western?

On topic, I'll say RTS's as sports games are a given (and even then I recall the 360 Table Tennis game being fun) and I prefer my strategy more in the vein of SRPG's (i.e Fire Emblem, Valkyria Chronicles). Of course, maybe I just suck at World in Conflict.

stealth. I love it. I'm just awful at it.

Also this, as much as I liked Metal Gear Solid I always screwed up and died.

Racing games. In the end, their complexity always comes down to "get to the end before the other guy does." And only in mascot racing games is there a single complicating element.

EDIT:

Actually, it's only the point for some people. Games are a storytelling art form and a competitive sport as well: if you just play for fun, good for you, but there is a lot more to video games than simply getting "away from thinking."

Well, I never said I liked it, did I?
Just to clarify, I don't hate all JRPGs, just the whole anime stuff and the main gameplay. Here's the thing - I could get into turn-based in HoMMV but couldn't in any other game.
