What type of games you can't get into?

Strategy/Tactical RPG's more or less foremost. I simply despise everything they stand for, and I make Fire Emblem the prime example as far as what franchise I point to. For one, and probably its biggest problem imo, they're usually way too story-driven for any game's own good. I DESPISE the notion of story and presentation over gameplay or design mechanics, and even just hearing bullshit like "No story = no interest" is infuriatingly narrow-minded in my opinion, and a SRPG like Fire Emblem is exactly why I call bullshit; it's TOO MUCH story, and what makes up the gameplay just doesn't interest me to begin with. As you can also guess, it's why I think David Cage has no business making games either, but I digress.

I find SRPG combat slow and borderline self-playing, making the highest priorities in gameplay things that are just as effectively utilized in something like an RTS, but without any of the dynamicism that an RTS can have to its name by way of being REAL TIME; add on turn-based combat, something I consider outdated, and we have a game genre I knew I was gonna hate from the start, but gave a chance anyway. Waste of my time and with no one to blame but myself.

So yeah, too reliant on story and thus cripplingly linear, not reliant enough focus on gameplay integration and rather only segregation, and the gameplay style the genre goes for simply bores me to death anyway.

Open world FPS games (Far Cry etc). I love open world. GTA, Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row etc, but I just can't get past the small field of view. Even putting up the FOV just doesn't do it for me.

I've never actually played Far Cry games, but I do very much agree that first-person is way too limiting a perspective. I get what they were going for when it comes to Far Cry though, and part of me is willing to make an exception because I love open world too. Basically, I've been meaning to try Far Cry out.

I tried with Far Cry 3. I REALLY wanted to get in to it, because I heard so many good things. I ended up turning it off within an hour. 🙁

One more I can't get in to is MOBA games. They look like a lot of fun, but I generally hate PVP. I don't play games for PVP.

WWE 2K14 was a lot of fun, and I assume that counts as a sports game. That and PES are my go-to sports games. I won't touch anything by EA Sports though. Not since they ****ed up FIFA all those years ago.

I can get into any really but if I had to pick one that I play less then the others it would be Sports games.

Ya'll are a bunch of filthy casuals

What's wrong with sports games? Madden can be freakin awesome at times.

My personal opinion: like I've said already, I just find it redundant. Why not just play football IRL? If you've bought one game, you've pretty much bought all of them.

Again, this is just my take. No disrespect to your taste.

Most hardcore gamers that I know personally don't like sports games because they don't like sports. Or at least follow them that well.

I guess most people who play sports games are core gamers, or casual.

Personally, I love sport games because I loved and grew up playing sports. Looking forward to getting a PS4 so I can get MLB The Show.

I liked more whacky sports games like NBA Jam and a futuristic baseball game I owned on SNES. I liked Fight Night games, and always had fun with wrestling games. So I guess I like them, but stuff like Madden and NBA lives and baseball/FIFAS became less fun for me the more they got deeper and complex(not knocking it against them. Would've sucked if they never mature)

Now that I think about it, I remembered enjoying NBA Street in my youth. The reason for this being simply because of how over-the-top it was, which falls directly under my "defining element" clause.

Over time they sort of went more towards simulation when before it was more arcadey and action

Since when is Madden about Football? Surely you all must be referring to Handegg. vin

~ I still play FIFA, but the scripting in that game is getting ridiculous.
While I haven't played a wrestling game in years, I had a lot of fun playing Smackdown Vs. Raw. Playing Tag Team and attacking the guy who wasn't tagged in never failed to amuse me.

I still have hope that MMA games will catch up, but right now, the typical fighting game is just way more entertaining to play than any UFC game.

Racing and sports games... i only like sport fighting games. NBA live was the shit though

So now Fire Emblem has no gameplay? And we're to assume it's a graphical powerhouse somehow? Did you know that every FE game has essentially the same story?

I'd point somewhere else if I wanted to make any of those points 👇

**** y'all hatin' on mah sports games.
NBA 2K14 is da shite! Get outta here!

No really, that's like, my go-to game. I like doing dunks that I can't do IRL; dunking on MJ and LJ with my custom dunking machine.

Genres that make me pull my hair out?
MOBAs (don't understand why this shit is so popular with the teenage guyz in my area), MMORPGs (too lazy to grind), and most simulators (except sports and racing simulators).

I wish the players in 2K14 could dunk as well as I can IRL, really takes me out of the game.

How many backboards have you shattered?

I'm actually a very grindy person (playing Monster Hunter, Etrian Odyssey and Pokemon), but I despise MMORPGs all the same. For me there is just never enough pay off when you grind in MMORPGs, their system are almost always linear to a fault, your only goal is leveling up and there is no partial goal in between other than senseless and repetitive quests. I don't appreciate that those games need quests to keep you interested.

That bit about goal and linear gameplay systems varies greatly.

While grinding is pretty much an almost universal aspect of them, those really aren't especially in the modern mmo landscape.
