That one genre you will always HATE

Generic response, but... modern military and co-operative shooters.
I've played more than my fair share of both, and I find them intensely boring these days, bordering on frothing hatred. MMS because there is little to no skill involved, plotlines tend to be dull and barely distinguishable from one another; co-op because why fight predictable AI in multiplayer when you can fight much more interesting human opponents? It becomes even more grating for shooters for some reason, I'm ok with co-op in other genres but I just don't get the point in most shooters except something like the original Ghost Recon.

Looks decent. Not something I'd buy at release, but possibly once it drops.Severian said:

Try a Megaten title as well. SMT4 comes out next month. Barely anything cutesy in there. Mostly dark as hell.DanielBrown said:Looks decent. Not something I'd buy at release, but possibly once it drops.Severian said:

DotAs or MOBAs or whatever the hell they are called.
They all have a stupidly high skill cap and over convoluted item systems that discourages new players, then when a 'newb' starts to play they get a metric fuck tonne of abuse shouted at them because they don't know everything about the game the first time they play it.
Awesomenauts is the main exception to this as it's a highly approachable but a rather skill focused game.

Sports games -- will be guarenteed to cause rage
Music -- I just freaking hate the music choice. And I suck at it
RTSs and MOBAs -- cannot get my head around them, will always be outclassed at a game genre I don't enjoy doing
Simulations -- for the same reasons everyone doesn't like them
Turn-based games -- all the goodness of an RPG with no gameplay!

And destructible environments aren't a really cool gimmick that RAGE didn't have?Johanthemonster666 said:
Fighting games.
Frankly I suck at them and have avoided them for so long that if you were to sit me in front of the most awesome looking game imaginable and tell me I needed to input a string 20 button presses or just mash the pad to progress I'd look you dead in the eyes and throw that S.O.B out the window.

There isn't a genre I outright hate. More like there are genres I haven't tried but don't feel a strong desire to, like RTS games, or genres that haven't struck much of a chord with me, like racing and fighting games. I don't see any reason to write off entire segments of video games because yes, even the dreaded military shooter has its gems. If it looks fun and interesting, I'll give it the chance to impress me regardless of classification.
I can't help but feel a general distaste towards sports games though, mostly because "Ew, sports."
