Just out of curiosity, which gaming genre(s) do you just not care for? Here are my picks:

*Added a few more that I forgot about*

RPG's
Shumps (I've always wanted to get into them, but never could) :(
Racing sims
Sports games
Simulation games
War/Flight/Strategy sims
Dancing games

I'm more of a "bang for your buck" arcade-type player.

I really don't care for sports.

I hate sports as well.

Oh, and sports.

Sports- Retarded
RPGs- Long and boring and long.
3D Platformers- Not enough innovation in the genre to keep me hooked for long.

RPGs period
Adventure games (point and click blah)
Sports uber gay
Frantic FPSs like Unreal Tournament and such. I like more realism and a bit slower.

A good majority of RPGs. Among other things, the cheesy storylines keep me from playing these. Also, I'm pretty sure I'd hate dating sims if I ever played one.

Desperate guy: My digital girlfriend loves me!

Guy: ...Have you ever had a real girlfriend.

My least favorite genre is definitely RPGs, however there are a few RPGs that I really enjoy like Dragon Warrior and Phantasy Star I & II.

Well, I am, its definitely one of the best games of all time. But nowadays with school and work, I don't really have the time or the effort to invest myself into an epic adventure spanning dozens of hours.

That and RPGs of the past few years have been severely lacking.

I basically like all genres of games except for sports. The only sports game I might play once in a while are basketball games but i'm not good at it.

Other genres I just couldn't get into are puzzles (except Tetris) and adventure games. I also don't like the DDR games but I do like the girls that play them though. :glee:

Fighting games have been my life, whether 2d or 3d, I wil not back down in the digital arena. Racing sims come 2nd.

Sports games. Just because I enjoy playing games that put me in a more improbable premise, like one lone space marine against an army of hellspawn or the commander of an army of orcs. If I want to play sports, I have a backboard on my garage, I have a bat and ball, etc.

My true reserved hatred is for Bemani games first and foremost... followed by:

Sports Games
Simulation Games
Traditional Style RPGs (though I like unusual stuff)
FPS (*I've only ever liked the MOH games, and a few others)
VS. Fighting Games (*Unless it's quality stuff, can't stand it)

1.) Sports games(not including driving).
2.) 3rd person chase view shooters (like Boob Raider, Heretic 2, etc.)
3.) Graphic adventures (Shadowgate, Myst, 7th guest, 11th hour, etc.)
4.) RTS (Shitcraft, Warcrap, Command and Cocker)
5.) FMV games

Sports games, they all suck especially when you play alone, except for Super Sidekicks, Neo Turf Masters and Baseball Stars 2.
