Well, no, spite tends to not be very logical or rational. :p

OT: I love them all.

Well, okay, not exactly, but there are very, very few genres I have a general dislike toward. Probably just old-school shooters and point&click adventure games.

"Realistic" racing games tend to not interest me either, I suppose, but I love stuff like Star Wars Episode I Racer or Mario Kart or Sonic & All-Stars Racing or Wipeout. I'm also not inclined toward being drawn in to open-world "sandbox" games, but even that has its exceptions.

Otherwise, I'll pretty much play them all. "Modern Military" FPS, "Sci-Fi" FPS, tactical FPS, third-person shooters, shooter-RPGs, ARPGS, JRPGs, CRPGs, tactical-RPGs, action-adventure, hack&slash, fighting, stealth, puzzle, platforming, RTS, TBS, visual novels, even some open-world games like Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs and adventure games like The Wolf Among Us or Beneath A Steel Sky. I suppose I don't really play shmups or sports games very often anymore. But yeah, you name a genre, and I could probably point out two or three games in it that I love.

EDIT: Okay, the post above mine did remind me that I have very little interest in simulators. But even still, I can easily see the appeal of Euro Truck Driver and other (actually competent) sim games like it.

I don't hate any genre of games, though I find little to no appeal in sports titles. I have also lost pretty much all interest in platformers of late. Any of them I try I typically stop playing after maybe an hour tops because I'm bored. Racing games are okay, but again nothing I actively purchase or play.

I'm not sure I have a favorite genre either, as I play many different types and can get really excited and look forward to games of multiple genres, not just a couple. The games I am really excited for right now are MGS V: The Phantom Pain, and Batman: Arkham Knight, but I have some cautious optimism for Dragon Age Inquisition, AC: Unity, and AC: Rogue. I'm waiting for Danganronpa 2 to arrive in the mail to play on my Vita, and have currently been playing Lego Marvel Super Heroes and Watch Dogs on my PS4. I guess looking at my list of games here, I mostly enjoy TPS type games, though my interests range much wider than that.
