What is your most disliked genre of video games?

Simulation. Ain't nobody got time for that: mimicking real life in virtual form.

I just don't have the patience for point and click adventures anymore, which is really sad because I loved them as a kid.

I guess it has to be click adventures. I don't hate them, but out of that list, they're the "worst."

Hrmm... you don't seem to have fighting games... so I can't vote for that... but if you did... I would...

I have a lot of respect for RTS, and I'd love to be able to play them effectively but I'm just too dumb and horrible at multitasking.

I voted point-and-click adventures. There is just something that I never quite got into with those games. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I am never looking towards games to provide me with a story, and that is basically what point-and-click adventures offered for the player.

Stealth games. Stealth is not fun.

One of these things is not like the others...

MMO's, there is absolutely nothing I find interesting about them at all.

Point and Click, I WANNA see shit blow up

I'll just go with MMO's since I'm pretty open to try everything else.

No time for that?! I have far more time for playing a simulation of flying a fighter jet or driving a race car or running a city than I do for becoming an actual fighter pilot or professional race driver in my rare free time, in real life.

sports ... I guess that fits in simulation?

I should really narrow-down how many genres I play. I play just about anything, except sports and rhythm games (and I'm not a huge fan of JRPGs, due to their linearity and navel-gazing). If I could choose to wipe one off the planet, however, it'd be rhythm games.

Sports games.

RTSs, simulations and sports. I can't decide which is worse.

Of those in the poll it's MMO. I'm bored to tears by MMOs. But, really the genre I dislike more would be music games. Which is weird because I love music. But I never like the Rock Band or Guitar Hero games or any of their peers and I don't have any interest in dancing games. The business model seems fucked. I don't want to buy song after song. And playing the instruments doesn't seem fun to me. To be fair I've never played a music game but I just don't see the appeal.

Ok, can someone explain the appeal of sim games to me? I'm not bashing the games themselves, or people who like them, I just don't understand what's appealing about playing a game simulating the shit you have to do every day.

I pretty much get enjoyment out of all genres, but I'm awful at Real Time Strategy. I voted for that due to my own shame, and insignificant APM.

I came in here gunning for sports, then saw MMO and changed my mind. MMOs are glorified chat rooms whose gameplay consists of mindless, time-consuming grinds. I get a more fulfilling experience out of a good MUD, and 90% of those are free, have been around for a decade, aren't trolled by a bunch of idiots and are run by people who really care about the place.

I've never been allowed to fly planes, drive a train, drive extremely fast cars on race tracks, fly a spaceship, create a city, civilization, or world, or control military/navy/airforce soldiers fighting Nazis/Aliens/or any other type of bad military force in real life. Doing those things can be fun to do in a simulation game.

How are sports games not on that list?

I can see the merit in enjoying them, I just... don't.

Sports with a handful of exceptions.

Dating sims.

Point and click adventure games are pretty boring. Now modern take on the genre like L.A. Noire or Heavy Rain can be fun but classic point and click? I don't want any of it.

MMO Is BOOORING

Most survival horror games.

Sports and racing games.

I play all genres of games; it's the themes that will put me off stuff, JRPGs for example. I ain't got time for that, as someone said above me.

MMO/MOBA/RTS/Non-Casual FPSes, I'm not so much against the genres themselves, more that I have so many friends that get deep into one or two of these, and then refuse to play anything else. A very poisonous influence on the PC, as that seems to be the diet of many PC gamers. I honestly believe this was the cause of the big developer exodus from the the PC a few years ago which is just now starting to heal. Forget 'piracy' and 'port difficulty', no one wants to make games on a platform where player time is monopolized by maybe 6 titles (SC, LoL, Dota, WoW, TF2, CS).

Wanted to choose sports but since that's not on here I picked Simulation.

I have yet to see an MMO that I actually want to play.

JRPG's

It doesn't matter how amazing the premise for a video game is the mere mention of it being an MMO will turn me off 100% in less than a second. Next to that would be free to play or any multiplayer focused game.

I would vote for fighting games if it was there. I like the idea and respect the genre, but my mind just doesn't work that way.

Sports/JRPGs.

Sports. I don't know how you can forget to include that in the poll options.

Fighting.

I don't understand how to play them, and at this point I don't really care to.

Point and click adventures are shitty and have always been shitty.

RTS.

I just can't play them well, at all! it's so frustrating, the only game genre I could never get into.

I've tried many many times over the years and I always get worked by AI in ridiculous ways, I'm just not cut out for it, for whatever reason.

I hate sport games

Point & Click Adventures. I can play adventure games like Indigo Prophecy or something along those lines but click and point games drive me absolutely insane. I don't find them fun and it's often confusing. I've played a couple and had to look at a FAQ for how to beat certain parts only to think how the fuck was I supposed to think of that.

FPS or MMO

JRPGs are the worst. Convenient that OP left that genre off of the list.

This poll needs an "other" option for all the genres not on the list.

Platformers. Fuck-that.

I mean. All these kind of seem all right, kind of..

@oldirtybearon: Yea, that one. I can barely handle Kingdom Hearts..

Horror

Mostly because I'm a pussy who doesn't like scary things.

I don't really dislike whole genres of games. Just certain games themselves.
