For me it's point & click. Combining potatoes with radioactive uranium to make a key for locked clam was all the rage for me 3 or 4 years ago. Nowadays i get bored of these games way too quickly and feel very little incentive of actually figuring out anything. Recently tried Broken Age and while it's a great game in all respect i'm getting bored of it already :/ Past me is crying now.

Tactical turn based games. Like Jagged Alliance, XCOM or Disgaea.
I still like turn based strategy games like Civ, but tactical somehow always tires me down these days.

MMORPG, they used to be better. Now they are all either stripped down with graphics whores or poor attempts at a multiplayer game where noone communicates

Any shooter. I used to play them because everybody did. I haven't touched one in like five years.

I don't have the patience to play jrpgs nowadays. Partly because they are mostly grindy and I can't relate to the teenage characters anymore.
And point&clicks. Grim Fandango ruined them for me with the stupid balloon worms in the tube system puzzle. I prefer figuring out stuff by myself and item combinations should make sense.

There are some cool new point & clicks where puzzles actually make sense and you can play it without a walkthrough or the "use everything on everything" method.
Back in the day I find they were often much more obtuse, the cat hair mustaches fortunately came out of fashion.

I agree, The Book of Unwritten Tales series is my favorite for this reason, it's also hilarious at times.
Or at least if I try every item combination give me some funny remarks, like The Silent Age does.

Eh, not many but if I had to really think about it, I don't really play Strategy games anymore.... turn based games in general really.
Also MMO's I get to max level and kinda just stop after that.. join a guild stay around for an extra month then stop, thats a total of 2 months hardcore play and an extra month of mucking about, good for short bursts, not much else, use to play nothing but these suckers.

Thats about all I can think of, probably more but I can't think of em'.

FPS and MMOs.

I am liking RPGs now and RPG plots have more substance that in FPS campaigns. Players in MMOs can be annoying rather than helpful, but I had more experience with the former. Also, MMOs become wasted space on my hard drive if I have no internet connection.

I spent about 8-9 years of my life in MMORPGs, most of it in Guild Wars. It's been already a year since I've touched any of those, haven't missed them really.

RTS.
Once upon a time i didn't have internet (and when i got it was slow) and they seemed challenging and manegeable until id find a brick wall- or another more interesting game. Loved then when young.
But then i grew older and impatient with how 'chaotic' and micro-managing in real-time they get on harder levels and multiplayer.

Basically i lost interest when i realized:
-how each and every single one is about repeating the same stuff (build this than that) the faster you can
wasted time and energy to me
-how performance was based on being fast around ui and shortcuts
Strategy being secondary to this 'skill'- a memorizing/typewriting+clicking skill but a unfun one.

Also ive met 4x4 turn based strategy where its strategy from start to finish so...

Point and click:
Left and came back. They disappeared for years and the ones released bad in general. Got back recently.
Its a genre i like- its just that most titles don't engage me anymore. Its about finding the jewels that do.

Fighting:
No patience and i think age is a factor- i don't recall my fingers being so sore before.

I used to play a lot more FPS games (college roommates and a university LAN with Unreal Tournament brings back good memories) platformers (NES, SNES, N64) and adventure games like the Lucasarts stuff but I can't bring myself to want to play them now.

Real-time strategy.

I'm in early middle age, the golden age of the RTS in the mid-90s was my salad days. Played Dune, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, etc, etc, etc... through seemingly endless summers.

The last one I think I enjoyed was Empire: Battle for Dune...which in hindsight I find surprising due to it being kind of mediocre.

Can't play them anymore. I tried going back to Warcraft 2, and I just can't.

Point and click. I used to love those. Now? Not so much. I used to like those street-fighter games too but now I could never play one like that. And tower defense is meh, sometimes I'll play it, sometimes not. Not as big on it as I used to be.

FPS. Growing up on console that was most of what i played. Once I discovered Steam there were way more options at my disposal. I don't mind third person shooters but cant stand first person anymore.
