Rogue-like
Souls-like
Battle Royale

Basically all the currently popular ones. Nothing but time wasters.

JRPG
Souls-like
Sports sims, I love the genre but majority of them are doodoo nowadays

Sports genre
Turned based rpgs (not all rpgs)
Racing sims (not games like Mario Kart though)

The reason I don't particularly like these genres is because I don't really enjoy them. I don't watch enough sports to really delve into those sports games unless it's an over the top game like NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Mario Strikers, etc. Turn base rpgs I find very boring. I just can't get into them. As much as I try. Racing sims are hit or miss for me. Either I come across a racing game I like or one I dislike. The latter comes in droves though, so I just added racing to list. Love games like Mario Kart, Sonic Racing, etc.

Shmups had a huge comeback the last decade WTF are you on about? Something does not need to sell 1 million to be profitable. Those games are made on small budgets that even 500k for many of them is a massive success. Also Nier Automata sold 5 million and a chunk of that game is a Shmup directly inspired by Ikaruga.


In terms of relevance.


Arcade Racer. We have some good indies but no studio is willing to do a true 90s Arcade racing game.
8th gen lacked really fun fast paced TPS games like a new VanQuish or Binary Domain
*th gen lacked Armored Core. I love DXM but that's a more arcadey game. Which I prefer but still be nice to have a real AC game.

FPS
Sports
Life Sims

Shmups are constantly being released on modern systems. That says all. R-Type Final 2 just released. I didn't say Nier was a shmup. I said a chunk of it was.

1. Party games, the novelty wears off after 2 seconds
2. Board games, missing the point entirely
3. Sports games, I do like racing games and SSX though, yet FIFA, NHL, MBL, NFL, DHL, all crap.

The real worst genre is the free to pay genre. No thanks, I like to waste my time on my own terms.

- Interactive narrative whatever (adventure, point-and-click, etc) To me these sorts of games are like interactive movies. If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. And it'll usually have far better writing and a far more interesting story to boot.

- puzzle games (I highly value replay value and it's usually pretty awful with this genre). Obviously not talking about the arcadey "puzzle" games like Tetris, quite like those actually, but rather, stuff like Portal, Zack and Wiki.

- Sports/racing sims (too complicated. I do really like the arcadey variants on these genres though, NFL blitz, The Bigs, Mario Kart, Burnout, etc).

Shmups always have been somewhat niche. Fuck the masses. They ruin things. Shmups are popular within a certain niche and does just fine there. They do well enough to get physical releases in this day and age. All we need to know.

Rouge-like.
