Poll: Game Genres You Don't Play

[UltraXan]

FarmVille and every other satanic creation by Zynga.

Still voted for sports games, though.

 

[GotMalkAvian]

I rarely play racing games except for unique examples like Blur, the older games in the Burnout series, or Mario Kart. I never play sports games except for oddities like wrestling games and Blood Bowl (which is only a sports game in the most technical sense).

 

[mikespoff]

JRPGs.

Also, platformers - I've played a few but I don't generally enjoy them.

 

[jovack22]

there should be an option for J-RPG

 

[Bobbity]

I've played a game in every single genre listed, although I tend to avoid sports games and JRPGs.

 

[mysecondlife]

I don't play roll playing game.

I do play bit of role playing game though.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Sports games. I just don't play any of them.

Racing games would be second, but you know...Crash Team Racing.

Music games: I already play an instrument for Marching Band, why would I want to take a break from walking in circles for an hour by hitting colored buttons?

You could play Audiosurf, unless your PC doesn't work for much more thannormal internet browsing of course... it actually takes a quite a bit to play so I can't play it on my laptop.

Sports games, racing games, JRPGs, most (not all) RTS's, fighting games...

Basically the games I do like to play are platformers, fun FPS's and puzzle games.

Which makes Banjo Tooie my all time favorite game for containing elements of all three (plus so much more) and turning it into a complete and brilliant game.

Hooray for N64 era Rare, You princes of men. Possibly princesses too, but lets face it, gaming and the games industry is mostly a sausage fest.

Banjo Tooie was awesome! I was so happy when I found out that it would come for Xbox live Arcade (one of the reasons I wanted an Xbox).


I don't play sports games. Unless you count Mario Tennis and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games of course. Those were awesome, Mario Tennis more awesome though. I don't spend much time playing RPG, but I do enjoy the good ones, same with RTS, FPS, racing games and simulators. I think I can come up with an example of a game I like in almost every genre, especially those that were listed in this poll, but I have my preferences in platformers, action, RPG (the JRPG kind) and adventure games. It all comes down to if the game is good or not.

I'm not a fan of FPS's or sports games. Nothing really against them, they're just not my thing. I prefer RPG's, RTS's and Action-Adventures. Platformers and Point-and-Click Adventures are pretty cool as well.

 

[blankedboy]

Roll-playing!

 

[RowdyRodimus]

I hate anything in 1st Person and refuse to play them.

 

[Catalyst6]

No sports games for me, which IM(not so)HO, includes racing games. I just find the whole genre boring. Then again, I'm not a big fan of watching real sports, playing the games aren't that much better.

 

[The-Bad-Blooded]

I don't play:
- RTS (i prefer TBS)
- Racing Games
- Sport Games
- Simulation Games
- Music Games
- and Most RPG's (with forgettable stories and such)

but if i've become accustomed to a series, i'll play it regardless (Fire Emblem ^_^)
i know this seems a bit... close-minded, but i HATE these Genres with a passion!

i know RPG's i tend to keep-away from, cos i've never really got into them and the ones i do get-into, i get overwhelmed.

hope that answers your question...

 

[Nixzilla]

dam i voted racing before i saw sports. i hate almost all racing games except Need For Speed Most Wanted but i hate all Sports games

 

[Nixzilla]

Are you saying you hate role-playing games while your avatar is a creature from Morrowind?[One of the best if not the best RPG] PoisonUnagi

 

[DragonChi]

I never play Sports games. I find them incredibly boring and unimaginative.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

I really, really, really hate RPG's. I get bored with them because they take for freaking ever! I had to force myself to beat Fable 3. I will not ever play Final Fantasy again. I also can't beat Fallout 3. I'm not bad at them. They're just so boring!

 

[earloftaco]

there's a lot of hate for the sports games out there. i play madden and tiger woods regularly. i usually play them when i'm bored my other action/adventure games, but they also both go well with beer and cigarettes and not having to pay too much attention.

 

[jonyboy13]

FPS mostly. I play a bit of everything else but some, like fighting or sports, I despise playing alone though with friends they are a lot more fun.
