Game Types You Can't Get In To

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

I can't do MMOs, as I don't like paying $60 for a game, and then $10 a month for a subscription fee.

Sport games after a while no matter what difficulty play on they become boring

First person games because they they give me a headache.

Call of Duty, because I never know who I am, who I'm fighting, or why I'm fighting them. There's also always a cut scene where you complete a mission, and your commander shoots you before you get onto the escape helicopter. He'll tend to say some shit like "sorry son....but someone's gotta be sacrificed/the Department of Military Affairs etc....wants you dead".

Games that offer no strategy, like Dead Island, where you can't even use stealth and sneak to avoid fights. The zombies can see you from a mile away and you have to fight and kill every last one of them. Compare that to The Last of Us where you can generally avoid fights if you are cunning enough.

Driving games like F1, where the cars move like they weigh 20 tons and they turn as quickly as oil tankers.

Games with too many mooks, like Bioshock Infinite, which despite its great story and characters, is just generally a brainless shooter with 1000 enemies on each level attacking in wave after wave.

Soccer games which put way too much emphasis on tricks and not nearly enough on basics. There's a tendency on soccer games now like FIFA and PES to overanimate player moves, to the point where a simple thing like merely turning, requires a half dozen frames of animation, not to mention the players running as though their legs are made of rubber.

Games where you have to build up experience points to raise your health/stamina/power/weapons levels. By the time you've built up enough of them to be really strong, the game is already over.

Soccer games annoy me when you read people say use pace merchants to help you and you have a player who's pace is 99 when you have control there pace seems set at 1.

Modern FPSs. Auto-healing? Rail-road maps? "Deep" story? Getoutta here!
Action-y RPGs. I much prefer turn-based games where you're given time to think your next move over.

Every second game made now seems to be a First-Person shooter. I have played and enjoyed the odd one, but overall, I'm just not a fan.

Games like Final Fantasy where in battles you take it in turns.

[Vincent Whiney]

First Person Shooter, I just can't get into it.

[Nickybojelais]

First person shooters, which is a shame because 95% of modern releases appear to comprise of this genre!

[J Lee O'Brien]

Sport sims. (Madden, etc...)

Can spend hours in practice mode for KI or Guilty Gear, done after a half game of Madden.

(Would love a new Blitz though.)

Indie platformers. I realize there are budget constraints and that some are actually good but I find the 8-bit graphics off-putting instead of charming.

Maybe 16-bit visuals might make them more appealing since one look at the bland graphics just bores me from the get-go.

I'm genuinely surprised at how the overwhelming majority of retro games favour 8-bit over 16-bit graphics. There are some beautiful 8-bit games, of course, but for me 16-bit will always be the go-to when it comes to how I like my retro games to look.

I never got into the current trend of artsy walking Sims with little gameplay. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture was the worst because of the idiotic decision to not include a run button so you're casually strolling everywhere. It was so tiresome.

I'm old school, so pretty much anything after the transition to 3D, outside of maybe wrestling games. Embarrassed as I am to admit, I get lost pretty easily in 3D worlds and have no idea what the f*** I'm doing.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Most fighting games or racing games.

Maybe not a genre exactly but the Dark Soul type of games just aren't my thing. I get pissed off enough if I die in a game. A game designed to kill you multiple times just hits my rage button.

I used to be a Command and Conquer and Warcraft fan back in the day but nowadays I just can't get into RTS games.

Mostly into RPGs or action adventures games nowadays. Though I do play Overwatch which is unique enough to keep my attention.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

can't get into or suck at?

if it's suck at it...

Fighting Games and Real Time Strategy.
