This is a list of different types of games which seem to be quite popular but I don’t play them, you will probably get a good idea of what I mean if you read the list. The lower the number the less I play the games and the more popular the games seem to be from my perspective.
6. “Pimp and race” games, street racing game, track racing games, generally most racing games
I don’t really like racing games, the 2 main examples of these are the “Need for speed” series and the Gran Turismo series, I just find them incredibly dull and repetitive and.. well I just don’t like them, too realistic for my liking. The only racing games I enjoy are ones where you can shoot at the other vehicles, Full Auto and Mario Kart are the first things that come to mind, The only exception of this would be the Burnout games, although you can’t shoot, there are lots of cool crashes but I don’t really like it that much, racing games in general wouldn’t be my first choice to play anyway even if you could shoot. Unless you count Grand Theft Auto as a racing game, which I don’t.
5. Mini-game games
I don’t especially Dislike these games, I just haven’t gotten around to buying one (apart from Project Rub but that came with my DS ) I got close with Warioware but I still didn’t which is a shame because I seems there are alot of these for the Wii. Examples of this are Warioware, Rayman’s raving Rabbids, Mario party, and Wii Play (I also have this but I got it for the Wii remote.)
4. Sports Games
I don’t like sports, I don’t like sports games. Except Wii Sports (only a bit though).
3. Counterstrike
And most of other Tactical FPS games like Rainbow Six Vegas which I enjoyed at first but now I am sick of it but counterstrike is the main one, whenever I play I can hardly get a kill in before I get shot in the head by an enemy, I do enjoy online first person shooters like Halo 3 and Team Fortress 2 but that is because you aren’t being shot in the face every time you walk round a corner. Maybe it’s down to skill, and that I haven’t put any effort in, but what is the point in practising at a game if you don’t enjoy it in the first place, games are meant to be fun.
2. Guitar Hero and instrument games
I don’t like guitar hero! I haven’t played Rock Band, though, but I don’t really want to, I mean, what other console game genre requires use of the pinky finger!?! It’s madness!
1. World of Warcraft and most other fantasy MMORPGs
Boring! That is all I have to say on this subject. I did try playing the game but really couldn’t get into it and lost interest very quickly, my friend tells me that it is a lot better once you are higher levelled, but it doesn’t interest me enough to get to those kinds of levels so, meh. Maybe if they make a Worlds of Starcraft I’ll give it another shot, but until then, no thanks.
Well, there you go, maybe I will do a list of games I enjoy but I can’t be bothered right now.
I totally predicted WoW would be number one when I saw the start of this title. It’s just one of those things you’re either attracted to or you aren’t, I’m the kind of person who enjoys dedicating myself to a goal and being part of a team so naturally raiding in WoW is very attractive. If that’s not what you enjoy then there are other things in the game but I’m mostly apathetic to all of them.
I would be curious for the natural follow up, “My top types of game which I am unlikely to enjoy less than someone who isn’t me”, you’ve already opened the door, time to walk through (sorry, I was watching the Matrix a few minutes ago)
