If for SP: Bad artstyle Unlikeable main character jrpg... but i'd play one if the character is from like a game I know(i wud play Klonoa heroes, it wud be my first jrpg) For MP: Input lag too slow paced, encourages camping games that don't let people with superior aim win 100% of the time, e.g, if you camp you can kill. In quake live, I will always beat someone, my handeye coordination is superior, so I will win in a 1v1 CA, regardless how lucky they are, which is why i ruv it runs bad...

Military shooters

Historical RTSs (I like most other RTS genres

Fighting games

Sports games

Aside from fighting games, a big turn off for me is realism. I like to be entertained (so generally prefer sci-fi shooters, for example) rather than take part in a simulation of real events.

About 90% of these AAA franchise titles. Let's see, the previous game was mediocre, the one before that was mediocre; oh but remember back on the PS2 when they had that one good game? :roll: The fact that they're just churned out to make profits on name recognition alone is bad enough. The fact that they're hyped up to the stratosphere is even worse.

And then there's:

  • Fighting games
  • Music games
  • Smart phone games
  • Online shooters
  • Sports games

etc.

Basically, games that were made to be played over and over again to be enjoyed.

-Multiplayer games

-Fighting games

-Racing games

-Sports games

I like games with a good single player.

MMO's are not my strong suit. I just cannot dedicate myself to a single game for the amount of time an MMO requires. No World of Warcraft for me.

Hollow shooting games

As an example this year this year all these known games leave me disiniterested: Max Payne 3, Resident Evil ORC, Resident Evil 6, Halo 4, 007 Legends, COD BO2, MOH, Dead Space 3, Splinter Cell Black List, & Borderlands 2. Quite a big list.

Also fighters, Downloadable games & MMOs.

If a game is too highly focused on being a hollow shooting gallery, looks uninspiring, or has lost its true indentity, i am immediately turned off.

I need variety, quality, & something that stands out in the games i purchase.

Linear story based games without much challenge don't really interest me.

Games like Batman Arkham City or Uncharted, while they look nice, are straightforward and any monkey can finish them if they have the time and/or patience.

I prefer a game that you have to work at to win - such as online FPS, fighting games, sports games and racing games.

Sports games. I don't give a **bleep** about watching sports on TV, either, and don't really get why or how people get so into supporting a team. Sports games are a natural extension of that and to me are even more boring than historical turn-based strategy games. On hex grids.

From what I've played, racing games that aren't arcade-styled bore the hell out of me. Gran Turismo 5 and Dirt 3 come to mind, and while I can't call them bad games by any stretch just didn't interest me that much. Some shooters that I've played have also felt really bland and didn't satisfy in any way. I'm not huge on sports games, and I quickly lost interest in those music games.

Racing (digital sedatives)

Puzzle / Strategy(Portal, Catherine look boring imo)

Sports (nowhere near as good as they used to be)

Fighting (I used to like them as a kid, but even with friends, it gets boring fast)

Dance(trash all around)

Multiplayer (most are crap imo, but some co-ops are fun, if Starhawk was a free download, I'd play it)

FPS (COD, BF, Bioshock all look like crap imo but I am open to games like Dishonored or Skyrim)

MMO's(waste of money imo)

Games on the mobile, android, IP etc. In the age where games are becoming more and more cinematic, why would you reduce them to that size and sound?

Anything that is reflex based that doesn't require thought. I.E, basically most any FPS on the market. I can play these games for about 30 minutes at a time before I'm bored out of my skull. I need games that require some brainpower, foresight, planning, strategy. RTSes, games like Civilization and SimCity. There's a time and a place for all action, but to me it's never, NEVER as satisfying as the payoff that comes after putting in a bit of thought to get through something.

RTS (Except for the Warcraft series, but that's only because I love World of Warcraft.)

Modern shooters. Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, Bioshock, Uncharted, Gears of War, Killzone and so on...They're all the same damn game!!!!!!! Where did all the creativity go this generation!?!?!?!

U know, I never really liked racing games until I played Tokyo extreme racer zero on ps2. I loved that game. GT 5 isnt that bad either, just its so realistic that it can get annoying.

Anything that requires more DOING than BEING. This isn't to say that twitch-based games are inherently bad, but I can't stay absorbed in any game where the act of progression and doing things within the environment is more important than the framework of the game itself. That's the problem I have with a lot of FPS games and platformers: the character design, the level design, the backdrops, the enemy design... most of the time, none of them really have any sort of cohesive meaning within the world itself. They're just placeholders on which actions are performed, and what they look like or how they're presented inside the world has almost no importance whatsoever. Taking Mario games as an example, the original mario games said something about the world that mario inhabited. The enemies, NPCs, and even the powerups were all very cohesive in framing the world that the Mario games take place in. But as the generations have marched on, each new Mario's framing devices have become gimmicks rather than actual statements about the settings. They're new mechanics styled in colorful and interesting ways to make each new installment feel "fresh" and "different" from the ones before, but it's obvious that's all it really is. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have games like Portal 2 which expands on the original Portal universe, giving the players reason and context within the world for mechanics that were never present in the first game. The story and the characters from the first game are extrapolated and built upon, instead of just overlaying them as "gimme" set pieces. The environments are as much a part of the story as the history and the characters and the new mechanics are, creating a very cohesive universe that makes you actually care about what's going on inside of it.

FPS, the only ones I ever found fun were Marathon and Goldeneye. Generic action games that are basically button mashers because gamers today feel you have to press a button every 2 sec or the game isn't engaging. "action RPGs" are also guilty of this (think Crisis Core).

LOL, funny that's my exact opposite feelings on racing games. I actually for some strange reason, can't enjoy arcade-styled racing games, w/ the exception of street-racing games, NFS or Midnight Club series. I suppose it's the amateur car enthusiast in me, but I love a bit more of a visually realistic look and feel to my racing experience. Growing in the South, (VA & NC) NASCAR was something I grew up watching so maybe that has something to do w/ it too, :lol:.

Other that don't grab me:

Military shooters

Some first-person non-shooter games (I hate faux-first person in games & I get disoriented very easily)

Mulitplayer mode (in games it don't belong in)

MMOs

Turn-based JRPGs (action or brawler ones are fine) -- which is funny b/c I actually like series like FF but I can't play them--I watch others do (strangely my dad was HUGE fan of them)

RTS

Generally, "clicky-clicky" games like Diablo 3, RTS games and a lot of 'traditional' MMOs tend to leave me bored out of my mind - I'm the kind that prefers joystick and triggers.

Other than that, I tend to be less interested in western medieval fantasy settings.

Games that have you playing drug-dealing, hooker-beating criminals and gangsters (e.g. GTA) turn me off.

Open-world RPGs don't often interest me - I got bored of Skyrim after completing the storylines. Fallouts 3 and New Vegas had me interested for a while, but the severe lack of characterization and engaging storytelling that seems to be a hallmark of Bethesda's open-world games was something I thought could have been greatly improved upon.

The 3 types of games I can think of right now that I don't believe I'll ever get into are MMO's, RPG's and dance games. Just simply not interested whatsoever.

There seems to be a general trend in this thread. Anyway, the genres that have never really interested me include:

- Racing
- Fighting
- Dance/Music
- Simulation
- Platformers
