  1. FPS
  2. Racing
  3. Sports game, as if watching sports in front of a TV set isn't a huge waste of time as it is. Go to the real games people.

[QUOTE="Cerberus_Legion"]

  • Flight Simulators (if it was a Dragon it'd be different :p)
  • Most real-life-esque FPS/TPS (I prefer fantasy or sci-fi or horror fantasy Shooters, not real life)
  • Racing Simulation or Arcade Racers (Kart Racing is my only racing)
  • Games that are realistic (Puts me off incredibly)
  • Puzzle games
  • Sports Games (with the exception of UFC and Wrestling)
  • Construction/City Building Games (fine in an RTS or TBS game like Civilization or Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because it's not quite as such)
  • Visual Novels

That's it, really. Everything I'm fine with, and even then, I will try some of these out.

Diablo-B

Damn, that means you pretty much play fighting games, and turn based RPGs or really old stuff. I kinda feel sorry for you.

Wrong. I play Action Adventure games, WRPG and JRPG, don't care what combat system, Fighting Games, Combat sports games, RTS and TBS, SRPG, Horror Action, FPS and TPS that is not modern or anything too realistic, Beat-em-ups, Simulation, Sandbox games, Platformers, Hack-n-Slash, and a myriad others. Feel sorry for me? Don't. I enjoy the games I play.

Horror/survival games. The more atmospheric and frightening they are, the more uncomfortable the experience is for me. I don't mind shades of horror, tension, suspense etc., but if that's the predominant tone I won't enjoy the game.

Lets list all of Yahtzee's genres that he'll at the very least tolerate: Shooters, Beat em ups, and WRPGs done.

I do'nt really hate them, I'm just not interested in them, and that's sports. However, I do like playing the occasional baseball or hockey game. It's just... football and basketball, never got into them.

WRPGs.

I played Fallout 3, and while it was fun at times, it was also very dull at times, and looking at what other WRPGs look like, I don't see myself feeling any different about them either.

I'll just stick with JRPGs.

Other than that, I also have no desire for sports games or puzzle games (except Tetris)

These days the only genre I can stand is I think JRPGs. I used to play pretty much all jrpgs I could get my hands on in the past but now...its all so monotonous and stale. The stories are angsty garbage and for the most part so are the characters, ofcourse there are exceptions but they are rare. The worst thing is that each game has all the same character archetypes and all of them are aimed I am guessing at teens. This is how I see it, I have grown up and jrpgs have not.

Sports games - most of them are just plain boring (I enjoyed Fifa Street though).

Racing simulators - I like arcade racing games but simulators are too difficult and no fun at all.

Survival horror - I tried to play some Resident Evil games but it's too hard for me. I loose all my ammo at first 5 seconds of game and then die :(

Sports , never cared about the professional sport themed scene but I'm really into snowboarding and inline skating. City Sims, People Sims, Creature Sims. Don't do a thing for me. Music games. Sorry but no, if I wanted to hit colored lights on a predetermined sequence, I would play Simon. Wrestling, ... muscle bound, sweaty and barely clothed men grabbing each other in all the wrong places... I think I'll pass, thank you.

-Sports games - action rpgs and rpgs with AI controlled parties. That's right, I want my party on the right, enemies on the left and the menu to read something like : FIGHT, SKILL, MAGIC, ITEM. lol

There is one genre I really don't care for, and one genre I can't stand.

I don't really care for the FPS games, okay, so I admit I like playing some of them online. But ones like Halo and such...really don't care for them. Let alone I'm horrible at those games >.>

And I absolutely can't STAND sport games. Worst Game Genre EVER. If you want to play sports so badly, go outside and throw/kick a ball around. Don't sit on the couch and play a game of it!
[very glad I'm not the only one on here who thinks Sport Games are one of the worst]

Sports games and Singing games (not dance, I tried some of those and found it fun for a while). I'd also say First-Person games if not for Condemned 2.

Have you tried the Puzzle Quest games? If they can't get you hooked, I don't think it's possible. :)

RTS games for me. I enjoy turn-based strategy, but I've never gotten the hang of micromanaging multiple fronts in real-time, and miss the diplomacy and more peaceful options that their slower brothers have.
