Turn based and strategy games. Also games that rely on gathering resources too much. How’s that any fun.

 

[Joelenheimer]

I don't like sports games nor realistic racing games.

Anything multiplayer focused is also a no for me, from MOBAs to MMOs to hero shooters and the like. I do like co-op games tho, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and Earth Defense Force 5 and 6 being my favorites.

sports games are lame, I can agree with thaty but realistic racing games/driving sims... that just says "i suck at experience based anything" same goes for your multiplayer hate. i wouldn't normally come at people, but fuck, bro...

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

CRPG - would rather read a Fantasy/Sci Fi book than play through something that I find boring. I also always found them super pretentious

WRPG - Most of them bore me. I even hated the Dragon Age games. The only ones I actually loved are Mass Effect Trilogy, The Witcher Trilogy and Fable Trilogy. Nothing else has grabbed me since. Also I find alot of them to be super pretentious

First Person Shooters - I suck at FPS. So when Cyberpunk 2077 was announced as a First Person Shooter that was an instant turn off for me.

Racing - This includes games like Mario Kart, I suck at these types of games and am the guy always stuck in the corner

 

[Myths]

Turn-based JRPGs

 

[Starhowl]

• Grand Theft Auto-styled games (what's the genre called?)
• Battle Royale like Apex, Fortnite, etc.

Lol what. Please elaborare, I'm curious about your line of thinking.

Are you implying anyone who doesn't like racing nor multiplayer games sucks at gaming?

 

[Z O N E]

Racing games.

I like cars... I just don't enjoy car games. Lol

Second would probably be Hero Shooters, but that's just because once you get to the higher levels, unless you run with a team, you'll most likely get melted and it's just boring at that point.

 

[AndrewRyan]

Point-and-click adventure games, or what I call, click on every mf pixel just in case games.
Turn based RPGs.
Melee combat when you don't see damage on the enemy after striking.
Games that use a rogue-like system for no good reason.
MMOGs
Not always but I usually bounce at the first sighting of a playing card.

 

[ithilion]

I completely understand. I had a visceral reaction to the DokeV announcement trailer.

wtf no just noooooooooooooo

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Battle royale.

Football

Multiplayer without Single or Story mode.

Some walk simulators... Not all.

 

[Drake]

Twin stick shooters. I'm no good at them and I had how they control. Even if a game looks cool, but it's a twin stick shooter I immediately disqualify it as something I will play.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Don't hate but them I can't enjoy racing sims. I love arcade racers though.

 

[Topher]

rogue like

 

[Bernardougf]

Open Fucking World

 

[K' Dash]

Roguelikes.

 

[larrybrady]

Gaas and turn based,always despised turn-based.. id rather get a dry enema with a redwood tree than play that garbage style

 

[March Climber]

I don’t hate these genres, but they all need a serious shakeup of creativity and innovation before they end up 6 ft under years from now:

Turn based RPGs
Sports games by 2k/EA
Real Time Strategy

A few exceptions doesn’t mean the whole is in a good state.

 

[PSYGN]

Turn-based rpg/Strategy (I like Advance Wars though lol)

 

[semiconscious]

rhythm games. don't hate them, but i don't play them (& I do hate mini-rhythm games inserted into games i'm otherwise enjoying)...

the only exception: yakuza 5. no idea why (other than the fact that i'd do anything for haruka)...

 

[Banjo64]

JRPGs. Terrible writing and gameplay 99%’of the time with a sprinkling of scantily clad underage school girls thrown in for good measure.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't know that there are genres I absolutely hate. There are genres I just don't enjoy much. First person shooters, roguelikes/lites, and soulslike are the main ones. I don't mind firing one up from time to time but I get bored pretty quickly.

 

[Humdinger]

No. I don't have that negative an emotional response. If I don't like something, I just don't play it. I could only "hate" it if you forced me to play it, like that scene in Clockwork Orange. Then I might hate it. But otherwise, it's just "not for me." Which is fine. Most games are not for me.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

The Ubisoft open world genre.

 

[CliffBronger]

I don't like souls games so i never play them, i wouldn't say i hate them though, each to there own i guess.

I'm not keen on mmo's either but i am getting started with elite dangerous at the moment.

 

[Diddy X]

Soulslike, too frustrating for me to have any fun playing that.

 

[DelireMan7]

Platform.

"Ho you miss your jump and have to redo this series of jump".
Man missing a platform infuriates me more than dying 100 times to a Souls boss.

Extra bonus hate point for Mario. This fucking guy has some slippery shoes which I swear are just there to make the jumps more difficult.

Hate Platforming and fucking hate Mario.

 

[CS Lurker]

Turn-based

 

[Shadowstar39]

Hate: eSport, moba, hero shooter,battle royale, gaas games.

Love: crpgs, jrpgs, turn based strategy, real time grand strategy, city builder, roguelike, stealth/immergent games, metroidvania, vampire survivor likes..

 

[Fake]

Concord.

 

[finalflame]

Fighting games are utter boring trash

 

[BWJinxing]

Dark-Souls like.

Every modern RPG needs Dark-Souls like mechanics.

Instant turn off. There are times I wanna turn off my brain, instead I have to treat the game with the same alertness of rl.

I honestly just cheat infinite health right off the bat. My character has a plot twist.

 

[Knightime_X]

Souls-like.
I get it. It's hard af on purpose.
Designed like the olden days of arcade games to take your quarters.
These games require too much commitment to see it to the end.
If all you have is nothing but free-time then there is nothing wrong with the difficulty at all.

It was fun for the first few souls like games, but now it feels incredibly stale.
Can't stand it anymore.

That is, until they release Bloodborne 2 lol
I'll put up with it again if they release that.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

GaaS. I would take any genre if I was forced to Versus Games As A Service.

 

[Paasei]

MOBA’s and hero shooters are the only genre I don’t even bother with trying out.

I also never play fighting games, however. Yet I still think some look cool. Just not for me which makes actually hating the genre very out of place.

Genre’s I hate: Moba’s & hero shooters
Genre’s I dislike: Survival games
Genre’s that I think are cool but for me: fighting, sports and RTS (some exceptions)

 

[Darko]

Whatever genre Elden ring is.

Souls-like

 

[Clintizzle]

JRPG's - too much of a grindfest and I suppose I never really got Japanese games.

Important to note that im not saying JRPG's are bad. Im happy for the millions who love them - its just not for me.

 

[Porcile]

Side scrolling beat em ups or belt action or whatever they're called. Just can't get into them at all. Shmups and Fighting Games are cool but combining them together does nothing for me.

 

[Little Mac]

Turn-based JRPGs

Turn based RPGs

Turn-based rpg

I'm just kidding ... I can't stand Souls-likes and PvP games. Love Co-op games, Action/Adventures, and RPGs with skill trees.

 

[hemo memo]

Sadly I can’t handle scary games any more

I’m going my way through TLoU2 now and if it’s not for the player’s companion, I don’t think I could go all the way through. It stresses me out too much.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Roguelikes with the exception being Hades and Returnal because the former has made the loop interesting and heavily story focused which roguelikes lack.

 

[poodaddy]

Whichever genre Minecraft/Roblox/Fortnite belongs to.

My daughter’s been explicitly told this shit will never exist under my roof.

That's a true shame, Minecraft has been incredibly good for my daughter's creativity and she has learned quite a lot about coding as it inspired her towards that direction.

Roblox and Fortnite, agreed, I banned that shit in our home after I saw how vapid and stupid her friends on those games were.

 

[tommib]

The Ubisoft genre.

 

[Phobos Base]

Rhythm games. Not because they're bad, but because I'm utter atrocious at them.

 

[NahaNago]

I'm not into first person games for the most part. Then again I haven't played that many of them. I just like seeing the character on the screen. I'd like to say roguelike but I've never been interested in them to actually play any of them.

 

[TheStam]

Crafting games. I have tried but I hate them. I enjoy the exploration of No Man Sky, but after a while it just becomes a inventory management simulator. All games like this like Minecraft, Valheim, Subnautica (which seems so cool otherwise).

Ubi-style open world games. I used to love these but get burnt out on them. Valhalla was the worst, even have a hard time finishing Ghost of Tsushima. Weirdly CDPR games are my favorite of all-time, but they use the open world as a backdrop. Some people hated Cyberpunk because it wasn't a GTA style sandbox, where you can mess about and "find your own fun" . I have no interest in such things.

Online competitive shooters. I have a soft spot for the Battlefield franchise which is part some weird patriotic thing, part loving the atmosphere of BF1, but I don't have time generally for skinner box systems.

 

[Null Persp]

Deck card games and battle royale

 

[BlackTron]

Twin-stick shooters. I don't mind using it as a mechanic but if the entire game is literally moving two sticks to move and shoot (Enter the Gungeon) then no thanks. Luckily, there's a lot of overlap with other genres I'm skeptical of, like roguelite/likes. I also never play sports games, other than a couple of decades-old ones.

 

[EverydayBeast]

JRPG they’re protected in gaming conversations there’s so much push to play them, I think fans do damage to the genre.

 

[Aion002]

Platformers.

Sonic, Mario, Crash, Spyro and etc...

 

[Bonfires Down]

Soulslikes. Which is a shame since many of them have great atmosphere and satisfying combat, but actually playing them is insufferable.
