Poll: Game Genres You Don't Play

[Clive Howlitzer]

I am curious to play this "Roll-playing" genre. Nonetheless, mostly sports/music games. I haven't played any racing games since N64.

I am curious to play this "Roll-playing" genre.

By the time I realized my typo there were too many funny comments about roll-play, it's fast becoming my favourite genre!

 

[Madara XIII]

Very very very few Role-Playing games I can actually enjoy and no I definitely don't play MMORPGS... hell the only JRPGs I played were Final Fantasys 7-10 then nothing else caught my interest.

So no. RPGs and MMORPGs can bite it in my opinion.

 

[mrdude2010]

JRPG's and turned based combat stuff

Too bad Escapist polls don't allow you to vote for more than one thing, because it's obvious almost everyone's just going to vote "Sport".

I hate shooters and I hate fighters. Sadly neither was on the poll so I had to vote "Other".

 

[Vault101]

RTS MMO's and "realistic" racing games and shooters (I do like a good shooter though)

think thats weird? considering Im a PC gamer?

 

[Ulvai]

JRPGs. Art style is unbearable, and most of them never try to use this thing called "logic".

 

[Zacharious-khan]

sports and racing games except mario cart. they tend to be stupid

what exactally makes an RPG is somtimes up for debate

like some games that arnt traditional RPG's have RPG elements (such as leveling and getting new weopons) Like God of war, or Batman

some people claim ME2 isnt an RPG (lack of inventory managment? not enough numbers?)

yeah some epople feel that the whole trdicional RPG genre is getting mixed with "action" RPG (after the whole DA2 mess)

I don't have a sports or racing game in my library. I'm also not a fan of beat-em-ups. Fighting games are rare.

Its very true. The term RPG is thrown around all over the place nowdays, often times when it really doesn't apply. Genres are silly anyway. Its hard to always classify a game.

 

[WorldCritic]

Sports games are a genre I have never gotten into.

As for other genres that I'm not very familiar with, I almost never play racers, RTS, or Strategy RPGs, but I admit that I do kind of want to get into them.

 

[onewheeled]

I've never enjoyed a fighting game.

And I've played Soul Calibur, I own MvC2, I've tried Street Fighter II... I just don't enjoy them in the least.

 

[InnerRebellion]

I used to hate Shoot 'em Ups. Then I was given the Shadowgrounds series, and now I love them.
I used to hate platformers, and then I received Trine. I love platformers now.


But I still refuse to play Fighters.

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

FPS's. I'm terrible at 'em. Just...so terrible.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Fighting games, he who mashes the most buttons wins is not my idea of fun.

 

[Zeriah]

I don't play sports games, simulation games or racing games (with the exception of mario kart with friends/family).

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

I don't play Racing, Music, Sports, or Adventure games.

These days I pretty much play RPG, RTS, Fighting, and FPS genres exclusively.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Sports games, except for old PS1 era ones that are so bad they're good.

 

[MAUSZX]

U forgot fighting genre, but anyway I allways avoid music game, I suck at them and I don't really get the point
