gaming What's your favorite game in a genre you don't like?

[ShadowPirateX 600]

Ever played a game you liked, despite the fact that you don't like it's genre?

I have three examples;

I am not a fan of the horror genre. I prefer being able to sleep at nighttime. Yet, i really enjoyed Area 51 for the classic XBox. It's a pretty fun 1st person shooter, tough some may not think it is really that scary.

I also enjoyed 1916: Der Unbekannte Krieg for the PC. An interesting game, to say the least.

I'm also not a big fan of RPG games, yet i really enjoy Pokémon.

I'm also not a fan of turn based strategy games, yet i really enjoy Worms 3D.

I like the Mass Effect series, X-Men Legends/Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and the first Dragon Age, even though I'm not a fan of WRPGs

I don't like racing games, but Mario Kart 64 is a great game to play when you have family or friends over.

[NotInUse 64]

Plague: Inc Evolved.

 

I've never been a fan of strategic games yet I enjoyed this one a lot. 

[BastementSparkle 20,312]

I usually don't like any type of sports games, but Mario strikers is pretty awesome.

[Soundscape 33]

Plague: Inc Evolved.

Plague Inc depresses me. I think it's because I think too much into the game XD

 

Recently I just started enjoying Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 for the PS3 as it was free on +. Not really into football in general, but I am enjoying this as I can actually play it

I'm not a fan of Sports games, because in a series (i.e. Madden) they're simply the same game over and over again, as you really can't do much to improve them.

 

But I LOVE Mario Super Sluggers. It's so addicting

[repsol rave 2,963]

i really don't like MMORPG's, tough i was quite addicted to RuneScape a few years ago.

aside from that, i never really play genres i don't like.

Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2.

It was a generic first person shooter, but it had a nicely written story. (Unlike the usual games, which have stories written by monkeys.)

[RNgineer 161]

Once you play Borderlands you cant go back to any other first shooter game......I mostly favor strategy games and fighting and RPGs, borderlands 1 and 2 is the only shooter game i like.

[baba_booey 4,299]

Also, as much as I hate FPS games, DooM is very revolutionary and fun. (and I'm not just saying this because it's Retro!)

Amnesia, the dark decent, Doom 3 without the guns or a way to even defend yourself.

I'm able to just fine.

[RainboomCrash 173]

I don't particularly like MMORPG's ( ) but I have a very soft spot for Guild Wars 1.

[TwilightFire 55]

Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness because of the humor and the gameplay. Usually I don't play such genres of games.

I don't like blocks, but Minecraft..

[Nerdy Luigi 2,064]

Age of Empires. I don't normally play strategy games because they're quite boring to me.

It's hard not to fall in love with Age of Empires. Good game.

I always pretty much thought of Minecraft as a video game version of Lego...and I love Lego.

[Discordian 6,013]

I don't play shooters very often but when I do, I play Timesplitters 3.

 

Or for sports games I love Snowboard Kids though that could be considered more racing than sports.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with LEGO..

 

Your bare feet meets LEGO brick.

 

Not a pretty outcome.

I've never really thought stepping on LEGO bricks was that bad...catching your little toe on furniture on the other hand...

Yeah.. furniture. 

 

Well, it's just that, I have two big boxes of LEGO stored under my bed, and sometimes there'll be some small bricks falling out for whatever the reason may be. And then you wake up, in the middle of the night, to go get a glass of water - and you step on those little frickers.

You just gotta build up your calluses.

I'm not usually into the life sim games, but I love the Animal Crossing franchise. It's fun, and it has lots of adorable characters!
