Short: MMORPGs
By Obscure 2 Comments
It would make a lot of sense for me to enjoy MMORPGs. I like other games that feature open worlds, character customization, and cooperative multiplayer, but the whole of the MMO genre can fuck right off. Even were I to generously ignore the absurd monthly tithe that playing such a game entails, the games themselves consist chiefly of experiments in behavioural conditioning; an unending, viciously cyclical grindfest of filling bars and accumulating incrementally better equipment. Supposedly, Instances can break up the grind with genuinely entertaining gameplay, but other games are composed entirely of entertaining gameplay, without the requirement that you perform chores during your leisure time to earn the privilege of having fun.
