Poll: Game Genres You Don't Play

[Vibhor]

I'd say racing.
They are not that fun they used to be.
I loved playing road rash on my computer but I just cannot stand any other racing game.
Oh and sports games too(except wrestling ones, I love good combat systems)

 

[Feste the Jester]

I don't play sports games (except some of the Mario ones), Simulation, or RTS. Sports games bore me to tears and I seem to suck a lot at RTS and Simulation. They don't really interest me enough to try harder at it.

 

[redisforever]

Wow! Most of us don't play sports games!
I don't. Don't have any interest. I also can't play music games. I suck, unless it's a song I really like. Or The Beatles Rock Band.

Oh! And the only horror games I play are the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Love them.

And the Half-Life games. They count. Shall I remind you of Ravenholm?

And Minecraft. GAH! CREEPERS!

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Sports games. I think they're stupid. If I want to play a sport, then I play a sport. And the games are pretty much shovelware.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

If it involves exclusive use of cars, I will never touch it.

 

[Hader]

Quite a few actually!

I don't play:

-Racing games.
-Puzzle games
-Adventure games.
-RTS games.
-Music games.
-Simulation games.

Really, I only play a handful of games every year. Last year I bought Mass Effect 2, Minecraft, Fallout: New Vegas, Black Ops, Red Dead Redemption and Fifa 11.

Heh. I'm not that big of a gamer come to think of it.

You didn't mention horror games. So that means, I can make you play Amnesia!

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Sports and racing which I find totally boring and I can't play guitar hero cos my hands are tiny... shut up okay...

 

[Daveman]

I never play simulation or racing games (except feckin' mario kart occasionally). Iwould say I never play spors games but my mates insist on plaing FIFA 11 rather than Halo: Reach because they are extremely homosexual.

 

[luckshotpro]

I got a few, I don't play sports games, just don't really care for them
RTS's, don't have a good PC, and just not too enjoyable
Fighting games, not much interest

 

[digipinky75910]

Racing and Sports games. Like "Fighting games" a racing game just seems like one part of an actual game, I can't imagine it holding my attention for long.

As for Sports games, if you like sports, go outside and play!

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

rts's for the most part, i hate how overly competitive they are, i nearly always stay purely single player in those games if i do enjoy them.

general rule of thumb is if the genre is overly competitive, i probably don't like it

 

[Cazza]

I don't play RTS's, Sports, Music, Role-Playing Games, Fighting games, MMO's. I have the odd Simulation Games, Racing Games. that I play when in the mood. Yeah might as well be the whole list.

 

[Killing_Time]

Used to be a big RPG fan, til I realized RPGs are the biggest waste of time ever created. People literally invest their lives into those things, and for what? Level 100? Prestige? Respect of your peers? There's just no way to justify the amount of hours you need to invest in a typical RPG. They literally SUCK YOUR LIFE AWAY and there are far more important things to do in life then beat them, like things that ACTUALLY MATTER for instance.

Just try to crack that code. I was never big into sports when I was a kid, but it just doesn't look like anything I could get invested in.

There were some good sports games on the NES though. Go Tecmo Super Bowl!

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Mostly racing and/or sports. They're closest to something I could actually do in reality, so if I had any interest in them, I'd probably do them IRL.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I think the only one on that list that I don't play is racing games.

 

[joshthor]

i try to play every genre, but there is one genre that has not produced a single game i like - JRPGs. the characters are always ludicrously designed androgynous children with the emotional depth of a jar of mayonnaise; the gameplay almost always annoys me; the stories always border on the absurd.

 

[timeadept]

I just won't play sports games, i can't even remember the last time i played one. Theres just absolutely no interest there. Maybe it's a case of "you've played one, you've played them all".

 

[FalloutJack]

Sports AND music, actually. Racing and sim, I know I've done. And all the other kinds? Oh yes.

But the only sports game I was ever into was Mutant League Football, which doesn't really count when you think of it. The in-game plot depicts the matches as bouts of WAR, and players DO die in the games, so yeah.

 

[The Shade]

I don't play the bottom three on the list.

No music games. No sports games. No racing games. Almost never fighting games. (Only Street Fighter.) No JRPGs. No platformers.

RPGs and Action/Adventure games all the way, with the occasional Sim or RTS to balance it all out.

SimTower awaaaaaaay!
