Just about an 3D fighter: I don't have any desire to play them.

Any Realistic Sports Game: This stems from complete lack of interest in sports, football, baseball and basketball are so boring to me. But with that said, I love arcadey takes on the genre. I thought NBA Ballers was fun as hell.

This is basically my list, but add in every Tony Hawk game ever.

And I enjoy MGS, but I know it's not as good as people hype it up to be. Nowhere near.

I really hate MMORPGS. I tried Everquest 1 and FF11 and I hated them both. Kill wasps for 10 days straight while assholes that don't want to help me call me noob all day. Gee, where can I sign up? Those games are boring and tedious. I also never liked the Grand Theft Auto games much, it's fun to mess around on them but the stories never intrigued me.

I know a more quest-oriented MMO with a more thought-out and planned world that lets you level up faster with far less grinding.

'Traditional' JRPGs (namely Final Fantasy) bore the hell out of me. MMORPGs don't work all that well, either. Can't get into real-time strategy.

There's still grinding in WOW. They just cleverly hide it between fetch or destroy quests.

There's a new threat in our land, please kill 15 Defias Pillagers and 15 Defias Gangbangers, and while you're at it make sure to pick up 8 of their face bandanna's, too. You'd think that since every model has a face bandanna every one you kill would drop them. Not so. You're still killing enemies over and over again, but knowing it's for an item or experience is what really helps the game not be so focused on just killing.

I did until I got bored because it's so shallow.

Fun as hell while it lasted though.

Yeah, that's why I said "far less" and not "no."

I played SWG for months... most of the terrain was computer created and barren, and every damn quest spawns a "nest" (be it a camp of humans or a nest of animals) that you have to destroy in order to a) get some paltry cash and b) grind up your abilities. It's nearly 100% grinding.

The instanced dungeons also really help put WoW above the other MMOs IMO.

Seriously, give WoW a try. I work with a guy who had been playing FF11 for a while and was getting sick of its crap, so I told him to switch to WoW and he hasn't looked back. If you want to be a dwarf or gnome, let me know and I'll create an alt to quest with you. It's so much more fun if you have a dedicated teammate with a similar level to you.

I also used to play Everquest. That game is utter garbage compared to WoW.
