I hope so. I want more "Seven Kingdoms 2" and less "Starcraft" as far as gameplay goes in RTS games. I want to use STRATEGY not compete in mouse dexterity.Quote:

No fucking thanks.
Modern FPS and Guitar Hero and rhythm games are all I can think of that I have no love for.
Yes, I do have more respect for the classics.Quote:

Not a big fan of beat-em-ups generally. Many are just variations on a stale formula: walk right, punch 2 baddies to death, walk right, punch 3 more baddies to death, rinse, repeat. I can think of a few that I liked (Streets of Rage and Golden Axe series are excellent of course) but many more that become monotonous as hell halfway through (Maximum Carnage, Double Dragon, etc.) Just generally not my cup of tea.
Even Shining Force?! :eek::eek:Quote:

Life Sims:
-Good Example: Animal Crossing, and to a lesser extent, Harvest Moon.

Rhythm Games:
-Good Example: Space Channel 5 and it's sequel. And to a lesser extent, PaRappa and Lammy, although it was mostly for the style and music.
-Bad Example: Bemani and Guitar Hero.
Sports & Racing:
-Good Example: Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, OutRun
-Bad Example: Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, Madden
Puzzle:
-Good Example: Fixed solution games like Sokoban, Lolo, Lemmings, etc. (less replayable, but still enjoyable imo).
-Bad Example: Tetris and its derivatives, and to a lesser extent, Puyo Puyo
MMOs:
-Good Example: Real life, Uninstaller program on your PC
-Bad Example: All of them
Ugh, life sims...I'd forgotten about them, It seems everything these days has a 'sim' game based on it. What's next, Sewer Worker Simulator?
I dislike most sports games, particularly football; though I have enjoyed the occasional sports title (NBA Jam and World Series Baseball come to mind).
What I ubiquitously dislike is the gimmicky shovelware Nintendon't is known to spew. It's the kind of stuff that made me lose hope for current gen gaming for a very long time.
Stealth games.
Non-arcade/early sports games.
Many sim-type games.
Not crazy about puzzle games.
RPGs. I tried some of them, but the endless grinding and repetition, with little reward beyond story text makes them not worth my time. The actual gameplay seems paper-thin. If I want a good story, I'll read a book. I do enjoy SRPGs like Shining Force. They at least keep your mind active.
I also don't have interest in MMOs or League of Legends type games either.
Beyond that, there aren't too many genres I turn my nose up at. I tend to appreciate games that challenge your dexterity more so than your creativity/strategy.
Sports games and 'serious' racers like Gran Turismo and the like. I like my racing games to be arcadey and more so, fun.
That's not true. Take football, for example. Played it in school, loved it. But it's a very organized sport requiring at least 21 other guys, referees, etc. You have to be really good for a chance to play in college. And you have to be amazing to get into the NFL. Even then, most guys only last a season or two in the pros. Believe me, I would rather play in the NFL than on my Sega Genesis but it's just not possible. I have played flag football as an adult but it's not even close to the same thing. But okay, you admit knowing about sports, I appreciate that.Quote:

Rhythm games -- not just the music stuff, I'm talking about anything requiring a lot of "tapping" like Track & Field
Top-down space shooters -- again, a lot of rapid button pressing, just not my thing
NBA Jam / NFL Blitz type games -- only because they always include "catch-up" logic for the computer if you get ahead, causing you to fumble or the computer to make impossible plays just to keep the games close. If these kinds of games played fair, I would probably like them okay.
But my #1 most disliked of all: kart racing games. I just about get ill when people call these things the "best racing game ever". :mad::mad::mad:
