>starting a thread with bait

Id say walk simulators. How is that even a question.
Also collectathon is hardly a genre.
>>
>>329958418
Those are both top tier.

Worst genres are FPS, MOBAs and fighting games.
>>
>>329958418
>>329958630
We all already know that MOBA is the shittiest genre of all times, followed by FPS and "racing"
>>
Puzzles games.

Most "puzzle" games are absurdly simplistic and idiotic, have bad graphics, have no story, have bad music, etc etc. Pretty much every feature of a videogame is badly done in a typical puzzle game.

The few puzzle games that are actually decent quality are usually crossed over with some other genre to a large degree, like the walking/exploration game The Witness
>>
>>329958418

MOBA genre has my vote every election.
>>
>>329958787
Puzzles as a secondary are nice. Secrets of Grindea was fun.

I'd say the worst genres are by far the ones that are the furthest from games. For this reason, exposition based games, walking sims and bonafide tech demos are in my top 3, it'd be hard for me to pick one but I think walking sims do the most damage.
>>
I would say visual novels, but those aren't even video games, so I'll go with MOBAs.

>rts where you control one unit
>5v5 so everyone gets to blame someone
>strict formula doesn't allow for diverse games (they're all 3 lanes with towers and jungles...)
>attract meta whores who sperg over their precious formula
Mostly for me, it's the community I can't stand but it's not as if I can enjoy it otherwise anyways.
>>
Walking sims
Point and Click
FPS not because the genre is inherently bad, but 99.9999% of the games in it are shit
>>
>>329958961
Mobas have the tendency to get the worst out of people, also you have to rely not on your on strength but mostly on the abilities of your team. Its the least-comfy, most rage inducing genre. You can not get better by playing, you have to work through hours and hours of guides. There is nothing fun in those games, except "owning" others. Why would I even want to play a game that makes me unhappy in the first place?
>>
>>329959201
I got 4000 hours in Dota and the most competition is trying to get mid lane or carry for the average (read: 99% of the population) player.
>>
Interactive movies

AKA pretentious indie story-driven walking simulators
>>
>>329958418
Walking simulators, and probably the modern survival horror which is anything but. It's become either action games, or jump scare bullshit like FNAF.

I can give amnesia credit for having amazing atmosphere and some neat hiding mechanics and stuff, so that gets a pass but shit like FNAF is pure cancer that ruined the genre.

FPS. no other genre has flourished so much and then had such a steep decline in quality.

was Halo 3 the last great FPS?

This might be true in LoL and Smite. But the metagame is pretty standard in any multiplayer genre, no? Fighters and sports come to mind. The community is bad though, for sure.
>>329959339
Meh, they all have steep learning curves. You can actually improve, but it is largely memorization based.

To the both of you, what constitutes this as the worst genre though? Grindan slashan JMMOs aren't any worse?
>>
>>329959404
I think I could rescind my assfaggots vote for this one, actually. Assuming it includes text slideshows made in RPG Maker.
