I love RPG games. It very odd that many people seems to suggest that Fallout 3 is like Oblivion. I have not seen any similarity between the two; or perhaps I am watching the wrong trailer.

Oblivion and Fallout 3 were both developed by Bethesda and both run on the same engine. If you play both, you'll see the similarities in the way characters are modeled, how the terrain is modeled and textured, how the combat works (aside from VATS), how the inventory system works, etc.

The games I list aren't any I've played, I just dont understand the appeal. I really dont like any MMO/RPG games at all so just put that there.

-World of Warcraft

-Bioshock

-Final Fantasy

-FEAR

-Oblivion

-Crysis

Now I'm off to play through my rental of Heavy Rain :)

Bioshock. Its actually good. I'm just not good at RPG/FPS type games.

WoW. It bores me.

Go kill those monsters. Deliver this note to blah blah. Kill these monsters and bring back blah blah. Find this random place. Protect this random person.

Did I mention you do these things about 50+ times before you reach the level cap?

Strange thing is... I really enjoy Diablo.

Also, StarCraft/WarCraft RTS has never been my thing...

Easy.

Turn-Based, all actions are selected through menus, and there are a loooooooooooooot of menus.... plus battles don't occur on the same field as the 'field'. :p Also most of them are RANDOM battles.

Extremely irritating and boring. For people that don't like them. I think they're okay.

StarCraft

The original Half-Life

Almost any RPG (Mass Effect, Diablo, World of Warcraft)

MMO stuff, RPG or not

Guitar Hero/Rock Band games

Crackdown

Ghost Recon (GRAW series, not original)

Resident Evil franchise

Left 4 Dead 1/2 (OK, this one I can get into a bit, but I simply don't understand how anyone can play it for a long period of time)

Far Cry 2 (I beat it, but I just wonder why it was made like that)

Counter-Strike

Supreme Commander

Definitely Halo. My first console FPS's were Goldeneye/Perfect Dark 64, then I got more into PC gaming (Q3A and the like), so by the time I got round to playing Halo I was just completely underwhelmed. I think it was a combination of stiff gamepad FPS controls (I remember the revelation that was the first time playing Q3A with keyboard and mouse), and just generally being unimpressed given the hype.

Oh my, how can you guys hate FFs?

Its just not the games I like to play. I like to play fast paced games. Besides I never said I hated it, I just don't understand it. Just too much movie/cut scenes and not enough play. Don't get me wrong but the graphics are beautiful, I could watch it all day, but playing it is another thing.

to me FFXIII is like, fight>cut scence>fight>walk>walk>fight>movie>fight>movie>fight>walk>movie>movie>walk>walk>cut scene>movie>walk>fight>walk>fight

I just don't like the whole, "walk into an enemy and then LOAD into every single fight" thing, and ending with stats, even when you only kill a single character. Yawnage.

Another thing I really really really hate is respawning enemies in games. The Call of Duty series is a good example. If I clear out a cupboard then I don't expect a whole platoon to come pouring out of it less than 20 seconds later even if I'm standing outside the only way in or out of it. Once I find that a FPS has this 'feature' then I go off it pretty quickly.
