I do not generally like FPS but i am begining to enjoy some.
I actauly have fun playing sport games but would never justify buying one (especialy after buying TH Underground 2)
I am pretty open minded but i would love to see less FPS.
I also do not like MMOs because there is no incentive to grinding except getting better gear and grinding and killing more. I prefer story driven incentives

In an admittedly weak defense of sports games, some people don't have the necessary resources/charisma to say, gather 11 other people, each with their own equipment, and a rink for a game of hockey, at any given time.
But anywho, I loathe with the firey intensity of a thousand suns, MMO's, Action-RPG's (as much as I like the concept, all the Action RPG's I've played have crap fighting systems), JRPG's, and Puzzle games. Sports games are only fun in short bursts.

In first place: Fighting games - just don't have the patience for them. Learning all those moves.... ugh. Not to mention the fact that each match is pretty much the same thing, over and over.
In Second Place: Full-blown Puzzle/Adventures: Now, Portal is the exception to this, but most full-blown puzzle games are pretty boring/frustrating. Shadow of Memories (for the PS2) is a good example of a really bad "Puzzle-Adventure".
In Third Place: MMO's. It's more like a job than a game. I really don't like a game which forces you to play at certain times, or requires you to co-operate with other people. And yes, I am a hopeless shut in.

I concur with the people who say sports games. If I want to play sports, I'll get off my couch and go play sports. If I want to watch them, my roommates have ESPN.
Nearly all RTS games. Very few of them are well-balanced, often favoring ridiculous strategies, and limiting creativity. In particular, I don't care for resource management. If I play an RTS, I want to act like a general, not an accountant. I liked the Close Combat series because you handled that stuff before battle. The units you picked were all you had to worry about for the whole mission. Fallout Tactics was actually turn-based (it was like... pseudo-RTS) with RPG elements, but I loved it because I could focus entirely on no more than six soldiers. 'Resource management' meant 'looting dead bodies for more bullets, then coming back for the rest of their stuff after the battle'. It was just a nice break at the time.

JRPGs. Why? Boring stories, stupid, angsty twelve-year old main character with spikey hair, and stupid, stupid, stupid turn based combat. The only good turn based games EVER are the games in the Total War series and the games in the Fallout series.
And pretty much all fighting games (except Killer Instinct and Soul caliber.) There has to be something wrong with a game when you play it for a year or two, memorize how to pull off all of the kick ass finishes and such, and then your friend, who has never played the game before, wins by pretty much just slapping the controller. WHAT...THE.....HELL?!

Sport, tis the lamest genre ever, something you can do in real life, why do i want to spend money and waste precious hard disk space and my time doing something i could do outside with actual people, and more over all the damn games are nearly identical featuring new player models every now and then and a different number at the end *looks angrily at Pro Evolution* who else gets away with re-releasing the same crap over and over again as a new product?!
MMOs. I just don't see the point. I tried WoW once at a friend's house and found it to be the most tedious and boring thing ever.
Sports games (Except the first 5 Tony Hawks games).
And racing games (Apart from Midnight Club 3. That game is Fan-F*cking-Tastic!)

FPS's. And although there are a few exceptions I generally find those games very uninteresting, and I've never been a big fan of the first person view to begin with because I find it very constricting and steels you're character of any, well, character the dev. might have wanted to give it. I've always found it cool to be able to see you're character along with all his (or her) animations and gestures.
I think my list will be pretty damn long.
1: ANY MMORPG. Even if it is free, i have absolutely no intention of buying one. And when they charge you per month, that is the biggest kick to the balls.
2: FPS games. Okay, coming from me this feels dirty. Almost every fucking FPS after Halo is the same, just with locales, and characters changed, and dogshit brown textures. Oh yeah,and it eventually led to the general homegenization of the Gaming Industry, and the abundance of racist, cussing 12 year old Ku Klux Klan members on Xbox Live.
3: Sports. Play one, play em all. Add micropayments, and that sensation you feel is your balls being kicked over and over again by big name companies like EA. And still, I play sports in real life. Do I need a fucking game to relive playing a sport? And if I wanted to watch it. I'd watch it on TV. Only exceptions,Virtua Tennis, and/or PES if it's rainy.
4. God games. What the fuck is the point?
5. 3rd Person Shooters (3PS?) Gears was fun, but same story as FPS games. We get loaded down with copycat trash like Dark Sector.
6.Rhythm games with plastic accessories. Do I need to spend somewhere between 90-250 dollars buying games that are good playing with people only? I dont see the point really. Guitar Hero was fun, as with rock band, but still, why so much money? Gamers like myself are pretty stingy consumers, so when you buy a game that costs so much, then add DLC, then after you are done with it, have it collect dust, how does that cater to gamers?
