Poll: Least favorite genre of game?

[The AI]

We all have our favorite genres, but I'd like to know what your guys' least favorite genres are.

Personally, MMOs are my least favorite. I've played a lot of them in the past, but none of them are really rewarding like a good, long singleplayer game, a quick round of CTF on Team Fortress 2, or an online match of a solid RTS. All MMOs do is take, take, take and give nothing back. Sure, they're fun if you play with some good friends, but the grinding is just annoying. Furthermore, the only real activity to do on most of them is to fight monsters with little quest context other than "Go kill 50 of this guy!". That gets old REALLY fast. And don't get me started on monthly fees.

However, Star Wars: The Old Republic looks like the antithesis of everything I hate about MMOs. Hopefully it will be awesome. I'd pay for it.

I just dislike playing them.

I'll say FPS/TPS... "Wolfenstein 3D" was the only one to have ever appealed to me...

Argh poll fail.

I absolutely despise sports games but absolutely adore racing games. Split them up. Now. I'm not voting otherwise.

Ok, I'll just put racing in the ninth slot.

Oh wait.

RTS games are my least favorite.

Sports games. They just seem pointless. I also dislike most racing games. I loved Burnout 3, though.

Well MMOs and RPGs are the same thing why not put them together and put the racing genre separate when so many of them are based around illegal (read: awesome) street racing which is not a sport.

Street racing is a sport... an illegal sport, yes, but a sport nonetheless. And I believe racing to be part of the sports genre. Yes, I dislike non-racing sports games just as much as everyone else, but I had to group them together.

On the contrary, MMORPGs are different enough from regular RPGs to consider them a seperate genre. There's no overarching goal, no story for the most part, just mindless grinding. Also, the stat and skill building in most MMOs is fairly paltry, for the most part.

AGAIN, NOT ENOUGH SLOTS. But I do agree that JRPGs, for the most part, aren't as good as WRPGs.

MMORPGS are evil, thats why I dont like them. All they do is steal your money and life for more of the same grind
