For me it's the RPG.
Been replaying some of my favorites, and although the nostalgia allows me to enjoy them for the most part I just can't help but feel like I am wasting insane amounts of time.
There are some amazingly rewarding moments, but in the end it just feels like they require too much effort to attain thanks to the grinding(aka fighting the same foes over and over to get stronger)required. To add to that irritating feeling, I also don't feel any real challenge because I either feel like I leveled up too much making the game unenjoyably easy or leveled up too little requiring me to level up more, which isn't fun for me. It's almost like RPGs aren't sure of themselves as games, so they force you to decide what kind of game they are. For me action adventure games deliver the thrills much more often, with much less work. In each RPG I feel like I have to relearn everything, where as in other games I like everything in the gameplay comes naturally.
Of course some RPGs may have entertaining stories. However, I feel a bit stupid when I come to the realization that I could be enjoying a movie with a better story, without having to suffer through gameplay that's clearly not for me. The RPG is just a punishing experience overall for me.
How about the rest of you? Sorry if I offended any RPG fans, any genre is fair game....
