  1. Settings I like:

    Post-apocalypse (Fallout)

    Sci-fi (Mass Effect, Borderlands)

    Cyberpunk (Deus Ex, Hard Reset)

    Futuristic settings in general

     

    Settings I dislike/am hesitant to:

    Typical fantasy (DND) While I used to really hate these types of settings, I have grown more accustomed to them. I still feel hesitant to games with fantasy settings though.

    Horror - In most cases, horror settings just feel weird to me and like they are trying to manipulate me into feeling scared, in most cases it just doesn't work and annoys me

    Real-life based (WW1/WW2, real life scenarios etc.) - Personally I play games as escapism, to get away from real life. Real life based games, realistic games or "simulator" style games never appeal to me and bore me to death.

  2. Duke Nukem Forever - Probably one of my favourite games ever. It did everything right for me. The humor, the attitude, the level variety, the minigames, the music, the guns, everything just felt like Duke Nukem. Even the health regen kinda felt in character for him. It's one of the few games I rated 10/10 and that rating I still stand by today. I think the main reason this game got so much hate is that people took it way too seriously and just didn't get it. And that people expected Duke 3D with better graphics, which it kinda isn't to be honest.

     

    The Call of Duty series - Yep. Love them. Everybody hates them. I dunno, for me they are the Pokémon of FPS. You can argue all you want that what each new installment adds is little more than a glorified map pack, but for me, Call of Duty is rock solid and there's nothing like it.

     

    Daikatana - I can kinda see why people can't stand this game. But personally, I think it was just a victim of being too ahead of its time. I mean, nowadays, FPS/RPG hybrids with co-op characters are dime a dozen so to think Daikatana attempted this as early as 1999 is kind of awesome to think about. And the level design and weapon assortment varies between each episode, giving the game a ton of variety compared to contemporaries like Quake 2. I personally love the game and once I got used to how the AI works, I just kinda breezed through it.
