This sub forum must have a thread like what the Music Hall does. Let's begin.

I hate Sports except for Nintendo-related ones. Crappy graphics.

FPS games.

Fighting games are okay with me.

The trouble with sports games is that they're bound to real-life games whose rules are stagnant. There's only so much you can do with that. That's why it's such a common sentiment that the best sports games are the non-realistic ones that have the liberty to do more with the game. For examples of "realistic" sports games that take things a bit further, though, look at NBA Jam or NFL Blitz 2000.

FPS is a fantastic genre if you look past all the AAA cover-based titles. Or go back in time some. When you've got some friends to play with, I still to this day think Doom is one of the best games of all time. It's got a community that over the years has kept it modern with custom levels and source ports with spiffy features. Not a lot of stuff online more fun than grabbing some buds, firing up Skype, and having a co-op run through some Doom levels.

Fighting games never really grabbed me, and it's probably because of the control schemes most of them use. While I appreciate the gameplay compexity that such controls add, they're also fairly unintuitive and sometimes frustrating to perform when your controller isn't a good one. The controls basically served as a barrier of entry that kept me from investing enough time in the genre to come to enjoy it. A shame, because the games look like a blast to play.

Not many genres I'd say I outright dislike... there's variance within each genre. You just have to look harder for it sometimes.

I hate the ones with ultra srs bsns realism like Forza. Gimme Burnout prz.
Oh and the stuff like Alan Wake where it's too dark to see what's even going on without maxing your brightness and contrast.
Also any game that does not have a jump button when you control a person... It just bugs me.

Favorite type has gotta be artistically styled games that can actually convey emotion to you without dialogue, such as Okami or Shadow of the Colossus.

Reasons why FFXIII-2 is better than XIII~


And I dislike pretty much all the realistic driving and sports games. They get boring and repetitive way too quickly for me.
Oh, and side scrolling beat-em-ups don't appeal to me all that much either. There's something about walking right and pushing the same two buttons repeatedly which just puts me off.

Rhythm games, puzzle games, sandbox games.

I hate you.
jk.

First question, why?
Justykanna
-I'm not a fan of FPS games outside of MW2 and 3 (PC) - and that's only when I play with friends. I simply don't have the reflexes to react and observe the area around me.
-Action RPG / stealth games. A general rule for me is that I'm not gonna excel in any games that are in real time because I can't think on the go. I tried Bayonetta and even though I admit it's a wonderful game, I couldn't play far into it.
-Anything with lots of blood / gore. Not because of the game play, but that form of violence doesn't work with me.

Because I find them to be incredibly boring as of late.

I hate games involving motion controls. They're kinda fun the first time but honestly if I wanted to exercise while gaming I would just get one of those stationary bikes and play on my ds or xbox ==

Beat 'em all nowadays are really boring compared to the good old Bare Knuckle, Golden Axe etc. :/

I like mostly RPG games, and I've been playing Touhou recently. I like the storylines of the Pokémon RPG games and the Inazuma Eleven RPG games.

...Oh, and challenging games like osu! are good to me as well~! x3

Games on which 9-16 year olds ruin your chances of winning.

I don't mind FPS too much.
What i do mind is MMS. Modern Military Shooter.
Stuff like BF: Black ops & COD:MW
These socalled "modern military shooters" really ruined the FPS genre over the last few years.
"Here, have a 2 hour singleplayer campaing & then WE, the company, will host ALL the servers, making it impossible to run your own hosted server outside our domain with no mods what so ever".

Gaming companies nowadays seem to have forgotten some of the best games (ie: counterstrike) were originally a MOD & would have never existed without the community. The problem with most gaming companies now is that they are always ran by another, bigger company that tells them what to do, which wasnt so obvious in the past.


On Topic:
MMORPGS. The world needs more regular RPGS with multiplayer as a side-function, and less big MMORPGS like WoW & AoC used to be.

Phantasy star online was a good example of this.

Modern military shooters you say? The only time im ever stupid to touch anything remotely like that is when rather... intoxicated. And rpg is kind of a dying genre in terms of releases from what i can tell, much to my distaste (though id genuinely love to be shown wrong here. I need more games), probably something to do with bioware being bought by EA.

For my own opinion, I find sports game utterly pointless. I see games as something you do for fun that you also dont usually get the chance to do. Why not just play the sport outside and get exercise while you are at it. Unless you both a: like sports and b: have no friends. Which are two groups of people that usually dont have a crossover.

I love visual novels, where the only choices are dialogue options. I hate games where you have no choice of dialogue, as when in combat you are (or at least should be) free to show your creativity in how you fight. So in everwhere else you should also have that freedom.
