Hi there.

So yeah, what's a popular game that you're sure you would never want to play?

Lets keep this interesting and avoid games that are:

  • Still popular BUT aren't around anymore or those that are hard to come by
  • Games in which you don't have the console for (and no plan to buy the console)

Feel free to list as many as you want and include the reasons why.

Here are some games that popped up right away while I thought of this question:

  • Terraria

    • I don't like platformers, especially 2D ones. I was a huge fan of Minecraft back then so the release of Terraria left a bad taste in my mouth 'cuz it was a combination of two things I hate -- Rip-off games and 2D Platformers. Spare me the trouble by saying Terraria is already a 'unique game in its own' now because I don't care.
  • Any Mario game

    • I have never finished a Mario game before (well, I did finish World 1-1 so give me props). Don't get me wrong here. I love Ninentendo (I have owned a Gameboy Light, Color, SP, DS, and own a 3DS XL now) but platformers aren't my thing and even if an interesting Mario game comes out with a different genre, I'm pretty sure I still won't try it because I have no connection and interest with the plumber and his universe whatsoever.
  • World of Warcraft and pretty much any MMORPG

    • The thing that bugs me about MMORPGs is that it creates an environment where effort = prestige BUT a very common type of prestige. It's like what that villain said in The Incredibles (btw Pixar, SEQUEL? C'mon!), "when everyone's super, no one will be." You get me right? RIGHT?
  • EDIT: League of Legends (I can't believe I forgot about this)

    • I really just hate it's art design. The color and graphics are just so eye-melting for me. I'm not going to pry on its gameplay mechanics. It bugs me but it's not the main reason why I will always avoid LoL.

I'll try to remember other titles to add in my list.
One last thing, no pitchforks please. Thanks :D

Dota 2. Technically I played it once, but I was really just forcing a friend to play it and not playing it of my own accord, because I knew he would hate it more and I apparently thrive off of the sufferings of others. LoL I know I'm never going to play, because I hate the genre.

Borderlands and Borderlands 2.

I played the first game during its free weekend on Steam forever ago, and just never saw what the big deal was. Unless I win a giveaway for either game here, I won't play them.

Any of the survival zombie apocalypse open world games like Day Z, Rust, Nether. Actually the only thing with zombies that I WILL play is Half-Life 2 and Left 4 Dead.

GTA. It's not that it's a bad game but I'm kind of sick of open-world games. The only open-world game I currently play is Batman series and Assassin's Creed.

Minecraft, Terraria, and Starbound. I really can't get into the graphics of those games. I saw some streams of those games on Twitch to change my perspective but nope it made it even worse.

I would list Call of Duty here as well but I am a sucker for their single-players so I end up pirating it (shameful I know) just for their single-player campaigns.

Terraria too, I don't like pixel games at all, they look ugly and outdated, probably because I'm not as old as most people :P

What I wont play:

  • Wow or LoL (Or anything else like these games)
  • FTP Games
  • Starbound (was planning on getting this if/when it goes on sale, but by that time my friends will probably be on another game so I wont buy it.
  • Rust
  • CoD: Ghosts
  • Most sports games

I feel like there is a lot that I wont end up playing, but these are the ones that stuck out.

I'll never willingly play a sports game - I think they're all terribly boring and never anything new/something I can relate to despite having played sports for years in my childhood.

Final Fantasy series - I honestly just don't care whatsoever about these games. They seem bland and uninteresting, even after watching my mother play the older ones as a child I could never keep my interest in them.

LoL or DOTA 2 - To be honest, I tried LoL when it was in beta, but this still applies; I hate the competitive aspect of them all. They could be extremely fun games if everyone wasn't such a prude on how they're "supposed" to be played and rage at you in the chat if you don't do it "their way". And don't even get me started on the whole "If you're a 'bad player' you get put in the 'bad player queue'. That's just stupid, and it's no way to treat your players.

Racing simulators/games - See my reasoning behind sports games. Nothing new except the graphics, which are amazing, but not even close to being enough to make me want to buy them.

Honestly, I love trying new games, but I never have money to just throw out the window. If there's a game that seems interesting to me, I keep my eye on it until it's on sale and I gather whatever change I've got and buy it, and likely play it for hours on end. There's a lot of series I just don't want to bother getting into simply because I don't have money to spare. That and most games out right now that people are raving over look incredibly boring. (Conversely, I love DayZ, Rust, Minecraft, XCOM, BF4, FPS games, most strategy games, and certain RPG game series; such as Fallout, and Mass Effect.)

you're really missing out on terraria. i tried minecraft and it never kept my attention in the way that terraria does. it's really one of the best multiplayer experiences i've ever had. playing with a buddy on skype, it's just good times.

My list of games--and the reason I'll proly never play them--may sound weird to other people, but everyone is different, right?

  • DOTA 2 - (Played DOTA from the very beginning up through All-Stars, but I didn't like what they did with DOTA 2. Now, I play LoL.)
  • COD Series - (Skipped the start because I was playing Medal of Honor. Now, I'm only willing to try COD, COD2, and COD4MW.)
  • Fez - (I don't generally like platformer games. Or puzzle games. Fez gives me no reason to go against that preference.)
  • Fortix - (See my reasons for Fez.)
  • GTA/Payday/Hitman/Saints Row series - (I have no interest in playing a criminal. If I can't play a "good" guy then I don't bother.)
  • Battlefield 3/4/Titanfall/various Sims games - (I loathe Origin and it really puts me off when I have to use it to play a game.)
  • Need for Speed series - (I loved driving games, but this series killed that love. With a wooden stake.)
  • DayZ - (I love Left $ Dead. Humans, fighting for survival against the undead horde. Make the humans SOB's, however, and I'm out.)
  • South Park anything - (On rare occasions, SP contains some great social criticism. Most of the time, however, it's just plain offensive)
  • Pretty much everything on a console - (I loved the ATARI 2600. After that, however, I have never liked console games.)
  • Most Final Fantasy games - (FFVIII was the exception. It was less console-like, had better graphics, and I liked the story.)
  • Minecraft - (It feels like I'm playing with LEGO's, even more than with the LEGO games themselves.)
  • FIFA series - (I used to play the real thing, but didn't go pro. No computer game has come anywhere close to that experience.)
  • The Sims - (Frankly, I'm too busy with real life to play a game pretending to be real life.)
  • Pretty much anything that requires a monthly subscription - (I don't have money to throw away, and it makes gaming feel like work.)

I'm sure I've forgotten many other titles.

Origin really isn't that bad. Alot of people say it's better than Steam. People just don't like EA I guess. I've really been enjoying Titanfall and to me it feels completely different from COD BO2 for example (I haven't played any other cod games except cod1). Faster, parkour, titans etc.
