I dislike classic shooting genre, i guess very repetitive. Only one title took my attention: Axelay.
Worthy mentions:
Genesis - Thunder force 3, Gaiares
SMS - R-type, Sagaia

I don't end up playing games in a lot of genres, but that doesn't necessarily mean I dislike them (point 'n click adventures, FPS, Rhythm games). However, there are a couple of genres that leave me cold. Sports simulations and visual novels are the ones that spring immediately to mind.
There's probably more.
Hmm good question - I guess if I had to pick something it'd be FPS or Racing games (except for Road Rash series, Hang On, Outrun series) - never big into racing games.
If we are talking modern games definitely FPS (except Half-Life 2 that's amazing) and games like League of Legends - utter trash. :yuck:
Heavy simulation games (think Romance of the 3 Kingdoms), MOBAs (think league of legends), MMOs (with exceptions, like Guild Wars 2), Sports games, grind heavy RPGs with crappy battle systems, Text-based games, Digital Comics (except snatcher).
I mostly dislike sports games (like football/soccer/baseball etc) and JRPGs. Not really interested in the guitar hero/ rock band style games either.
MOBA: They seem like watered down RTS games to me.
MMOs: Too time-consuming.
Hack & Slash: Ninja Gaiden Black is the only game I've enjoyed from this genre.
FPS: I was never a big fan of FPS games to begin with, but I lost all interest in the genre in the past decade or so. I think that TimeSplitters is the last FPS I enjoyed.
Sim Racing: I absolutely love arcade racers like OutRun, Daytona, Scud Race, F-Zero and Burnout, but games like Gran Turismo and Forza bore me to death.
Sandbox shooters, they bore me to tears. Also puzzle and rhythm games are genres I've never had any time for.
This is for actual play time. As far as collecting goes, I'm easy.
Dislike:
Sim games. I'm speaking here of construction and management simulation, and those awful life simulation games.
Puzzle games.
Strategy games. (Some RTS's I can make time for)
Sim games.
Dance/rhythm type games.
Text adventures.
Management type sports games.
Most types of RPG's. Never really understood the appeal. I'll possibly make an exception for a few action RPG's.
Have I mentioned Sim games? :p Hate those with a passion.
How do people hate sim games?Quote:

I agree that the SIMS is stupid... I go to work and pay bills in real life I dont want to do it in a game thanks.
- Strategy, and I don't care of what variety. I do not use strategy in my life, and I do not like games based around it.
- Sports. If you wanna play a sport, you could go outside a play. It's possible. Not for me, I don't know anything about sports, I'm a fuckin' nerd.
- Oldschool style RPGs where the gameplay consists of 90% menu navigation, generic hallways, and the only animation being character sprites that shake during battle. LAME.
- MMOs of any variety, especially sandbox. Ugh, give me some direction! Give me a goal! This is boring.
MOBAs took the one thing I liked the least about RTS (extensive micromanagement) and distilled it into a new sub-genre. In a sense I should be thankful for it since it removes much of the need to pander to that kind of demographic in the traditional RTS space.
FPS games, always hated them, always will. They're a disgrace to the game industry.
Then theres other genres that I don't hate, I just don't play them. Turn-based RPGs, hack-n-slashes, fighting games.
MOBAs.
I can't believe how popular these are. I gave DOTA2 a try a few times, and just couldn't get in to it. The reputation for toxic players in DOTA and LOL make me just want to stay away.
Modern military shooters
I like first person shooters, but I can't stand modern shooters anymore. The last 4 or so Call of Duty entries have been set in the present, or near future. I think CoD2k15 is going to take place in the near-ish future too! Battlefield and medal of honor have all been modern as of recently.
I like first person shooters, I just can't stand all of the modern military stuff.
Side note,
My electricity went off when I was typing that, but all the text was still there when I started back up. Hooray!
Doom? Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Half-Life? I think not sir, I think not!Quote:

Other than that I think I like all genres, but obviously not all games.
