It'd be easier to list games I like.

Get out, Verby verb.
A couple years ago, I might have been able to give a nice list, but nowadays, I think it makes more sense to list genres instead, ranging from "I personally don't care for these kinds of games," to "why the fuck is this even a genre?"1. Sports
Why?

That's your reasoning?
I like SSX because I know I'll never go snowboarding in real life
Quote from: TBlocks on January 20, 2016, 09:56:10 AMWhy?JUST PLAY THE SPORTThey clog the industry every single year with the same exact game, with an updated roster, and maybe some bug fixes or AI improvements. What they should do is release ONE game--one fucking game--called "Baseball," "Basketball," "Football," "Soccer," and whatever else, and then patch it over time. Because the differences between the games are simply not substantial enough to warrant further releases--but they continue to do this anyway, because they know you idiots are going to keep buying them. It's the biggest racket in the gaming industry.Also, sports suck.

Your reasoning after "just play the sport" are just, but to tell someone "just play the sport" doesn't hold up to me at all. There is a difference between getting some friends together to play the sport, and playing the game. For me personally, I enjoy FIFA because I can become the owner of a team and dictate my roster, decisions, who plays, and how I build a team. It's fun to me to take a weak team with a low budget, and build them up over time with smart signings, wins, and trades. It becomes a game of tactics almost. And the gameplay itself is something I enjoy, and something you easily can't do IRL. You can't do those tricks and be surrounded by thousands in cheering (FIFA does crowd sound effects very well since it's soccer).I do think your logic for the yearly release/update thing is a great one though. It's why I say you should buy a sports game over other year or 3 years, because only then are there big changes.Edit: The reason I don't like that "JUST PLAY IT" is because it applies to other sports too. No one is telling someone who buys a racing game yearly to just go actually do it. There is a big difference.

Quote from: Big Boss on January 20, 2016, 10:07:28 AMI like SSX because I know I'll never go snowboarding in real lifeSee, boarding games kinda make sense, in a way. Tony Hawk games are... sort of fun to dick around on... for five minutes... but I can see the appeal. Same with snowboarding games. All those different tracks and courses you can access, and all the tricks you can perform--it's kinda cool.but games based on team sports/ball sportsjustwhyNever mind, I know exactly why.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
As nice as that would be it's completely counter productive. Less money for the developer

Less money for the developerWhich is why sports games will continue to be my least favorite genre. I don't care if it would be a "bad business decision" to make one game--it's the right thing to do.Make it so you have to pay for the updates, if you have to. That wouldn't be anything new.

That's the same thing though. Why would you force updates when you could just release a new thing totally updated?Oh and the technical side of it would be a nightmare.
They don't deserve to make as much money as they do.
