For me it's fighting games. On paper the complex fighting mechanics sound really interesting, but whenever I play one I get bored in half an hour, and the cutscenes you get at the end of ten or so other context-less fights are not enough incentive for me to keep playing. Every once in a while I come across a fighting game that catches my eye, like the upcoming Pokkén Tournament, and the game looks so cool, but then I remember that playing it I'll probably hate it, and if I do play it I usually leave disappointed, because I really did hope to enjoy it.
The last fighting game that I truly loved was Def Jam: Fight for New York, but I can't put my finger on exactly why I was so enamored with it, so it's not like I can look for the same thing in other games. I didn't know almost anyone in the cast, so it wasn't that, it having a full story campaign and being in 3D might have helped though. The Naruto games have these things, and I enjoyed playing them with friends, so I gave them a shot, but I just got bored after half an hour like always when playing by myself.
Is there a genre that sounds really good in your head, that you see gameplay and it looks so fun, but after playing it, you just can't bring yourself to like the genre?
