Sports Titles, Movie Games, and Far Cry 2.
God I hated that game. I hope the third is better, I'm very cautious after that explosion of shit.

RTS strategy thats not tower defence types or civilisation, sports games, or fighting games
Just as I don't enjoy them that much..
Don't by map packs but just cos I don't want them and I'm not big on multiplayer.

Well, I have up on BioWare game for how horribly boring they are. Call of Duty has sucked after World at War. Also any game that I have to pay full price for then pay per month to play...
The Witcher. It got good reviews, I gave it an honest chance but no matter how I tried I just could. not. care.
Didn't like Geralt, didn't like the combat, didn't like how you had to read up on every creature before you fought it (apparently just hitting it with the sword isn't good enough), didn't like the voice acting, didn't like the character models (I swear there were like 10 character models total just with slight changes in color), couldn't give a crap about the story, didn't like having to switch between different swords and different styles, didn't like how almost every female NPC you interacted with was so easy to sleep with it made the game feel like some kind of weird softcore porn game.
To be fair though, I reluctantly gave The Witcher 2 a chance and I actually liked it

FPS
they are simply not my thing, only ones i have liked where the Metriod ones, and those are more adventure then shooter

For me:
DRM heavy games, that's ubisoft mostly, constant online required for single player games is retarded, disconnecting people WITHOUT saving if network goes down: EVIL
anything from EA is taken with a mountain of salt, because they seem to just turn good ideas and good developers to crap by touching them.
i cant remember what now but there were a few devs i was watching closely, then they were owned by EA, and suddenly did nothing more then average ever again
and finally, game series where some games come out on PC and console, and some are console only
halo is a good example here, i'm not planning to buy an xbox, so, untill ALL games are on PC, not just most of them, i'm not going to get myself attatched to the series
MS: you will NOT trick me into buying your console by luring me into a story and then telling me i need to buy your thingy to hear the ending!
on other posts, i dont like most JRPG's myself, but i must reserve a special place in my heart for FF6 and chrono trigger(yes, SNES titles), as i consider them the best games ever made, any genre, any system
those who browse ebay may notice that a snes console with 100 games, is often priced about the same range as JUST the chrono trigger cartridge, on it's own
EDIT: oh yeah, and sports games
if i wanted to play football, i would go out, and fetch friends, and a ball, i really cant see why this has to be a computer game

Consoles: Why re-buy the hardware with less flexibility?
All Rpgs: (ok not all) Grind. Rpgs are really a tactics/strategy game set to either minimal difficulty or maximum repetitiveness.

I will never play:
Resident Evil
Halo
CoD
Any final fantasy with roman numerals over XII.
Mortal Kombat
Dead Space <----- FUCK. THIS. GAME.
and 95% of anything labaled 'Horror.' the one exception being possibly Silent Hill 2.
That looks interesting.

D'aaaawwwwww... I really liked The Path... But then, I really liked Yume Nikki, so clearly my opinion is invalid.SirBryghtside said:
OT: War shooters. Just... gah. I despise them all.
Okay let me begin by saying I'm a game programmer and do actually like to point out why I don't like .
Nintendo-Mario, Sonic, and anything else that might come out of that industry is just outright garbage. They use kids and the whole idea of kid friendly games absolutely wrong, "If we keep making games, people will buy them despite being utter crap made by complete amateurs, and to add to it...LET'S END ALL SUPPORT FOR THEM, YEA!".
Seriously, I'm sorry but I hope the dies in a fire somehow, it is a great idea turned so horrible I can't even explain it because anything with a great idea that made on to this platform became rather garbage. Level design is terrible, and most games are labeled drinking games because they are so bad that either kids that do not understand 1+1, or those too intoxicated might enjoy from laughing at its stupidity.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed Mario when it first came out, it is true, however please let it stay that way for me, and don't milk the serious for money you don't need you greedy hog Nintendo.
Gears of War. I played the first one, played the multiplayer, tried co-op. Needless to say I was dissapointed in how crappy the game came out. It looked polished with gritty graphics that made it a "Real" warzone, the characters are pumped so full of steroids you cannot possibly imagine to relate to such characters making it into just a killing fest for the insane. Kill this, kill this some more, enjoy your refreshing cool-aid on your face as you wait for your teammate to come by. Oh wait....the camera is not working in that corridor? Well too bad enjoy mindless gaming.
I was so utterly dissapointed in this game, and how it utilized such a great engine. The story is made so that the game would milk your money as you buy DLC, among other things to think you'll ever be as cool as a steroid junkie. Seriously, where does all this money go? Instead of actually polishing every last bit of dirt in this game I do not know where it all went. Neither do I care because I hate that game.
Multiplayer....go jump around with a shotgun some more, you skillfull bastard, oh wait the maps are so small that all you need to win the game is "Who's first to get the rocket-launcher?" Very intuitive. Crappy level design for the maps and the whole idea of this cover based shooter that turned into who can jump around for longer is ridiculous. That's contradicting the entire main parts of the game, using cover and using strategy to get to the objective.
EA games. I'm starting to lose hope with every single game that comes out of this giant's mouth. Give us your money and we'll continue feeding you crap as we will continue to buyout or drop every studio that might come across an idea for a good game...feels alot like a monopoly giant that can do whatever it wants, and does it. Almost the same as Nintendo except they actually provide support...for a year. "Oh what Battlefield 2142 needs a patch to balance it? I've never heard of that game, oh wait I think we released some kinda DLC that nobody bought, maybe."
In any case it's like a conveyor belt full of crap that people continue to buy because everyone else is afraid to go up against it.
Sports games, I think another person had in fact talked about this and I do agree, I will not spend 60$ for a game when in real life I'll spend the 60$ bucks on proper gear and play that sport and have actual fun.
In any case, I think what really broke to make me want to get into the game making industry myself is Activision. Never have I seen such a blatantly corrupt business in even history of mankind. This stupid conveyor belt of Treyarch then Infinity ward is increasingly annoying as it is a waste. They are both teams with ups and downs, the story's they make are excellent...so why can you not combine them to make the best of it? more money? for what? a life-sized Warthog garage with real 50 cal machine guns on them?
Despite being two teams that keep on taking each others ideas and making it into some kind of stupid rivalry, per example: Call of Duty 4 had a great engine, and what does Treyarch do? Let's take the same engine, make it worse and slap on Call of Duty on it, GREAT IDEA!. And then fire two great game makers for reasons that don't make any sense? Really Activision? A dispute about your money that was probably your mistake somehow?

IMO, the core gameplay of Dragon Age II is better than the first, at least on my 360. I'd give the demo a try before you boycott it completely...CannibalCorpses said:
MMO's and other multiplayer only games, especially subscription based ones.
Aside from that, I don't really "refuse" to play any games, though I avoid getting the PC versions (partly due to DRM's, partly due to Xbox360 Achievements), mostly ignore driving games (especially simulation type) and hate sport titles with a passion.

Horror games because I'm so courageous, BF3 in light of the recent events, and MGS2; after having watched my brother play through the entire game including all 20 hours of cutscenes (summer holidays really leave you with nothing to do eh?) I have no desire to go to the Strut F warehouse 20 times.
