Fighting Games: I'm not dexterous nor do I enjoy trying to develop this ability. The exception is polar based fighting games. (Ex: Dissidia, DBZ:Budokai Tenkaichi#)
Racing Games: I don't like cars, nor do I like video game driving mechanics. SNES Mario Cart is the most I can deal with.
Sports Games: What I like about sports is the physical aspect, which video games have none of.
Sandbox Games: I get real bored real fast. Also, you can't do 'anything' you can do almost nothing, just the couple dozen things the game designers wanted to focus on. Also conflicts with my problems with:
Third Person: I just can't really get into manuvering a character from the thrid person perspective. I always run into walls, have completely messed up perceptions for jumps, etc.)
Dark Games: Good lord, I can't stand any game where I can't clearly see exactly what is going on. Any FPS game I am playing is an insta-quit if I get into an area that is dark enough that I can't clearly see where to go next.
Any game with permanent choices: I hate having to make a choice on something early in the game that will affect the rest of the game, when I have no idea how the mechanics later in the game will be working. Instead of the intended 'do what you want' I find it turns into a game of reading the developers mind in terms of how the rest of the game will progress.
