Okay, I was in an IRC room when the topic of various console games came up, and I expressed my dislike of more then a few games, only a couple of which I have played... a person in the room (okay, it was Dan Wright), said basically that I shouldn't knock it before I tried it...
Sorry, that's patent crapola.
I don't always have to try something before I know I won't like it. It doesn't require first-hand experience of having nails hammered through my hands before I know I'm not going to like it. Similarly, there are quite a few genres of games that I just don't like. I can't stand football computer/console games. I don't need to play every single one out there to know that I'm not going to like them. I generally don't like fight games, as it requires too damn much memorization of button commands to do very well at them. (Soulcalibur is an exception. I like that game.)
I don't like FPS games overly much. The only one I ever really liked was Doom. And that was 10+ years ago.
Everyone, of course, is free to express their opinions... why do mine get shit on so often though?
