Visual novel.
You're not a good book and you're not a good video game so why do you even exist?
Damn.
Now I see why Racing,Fighting or Sports game can never win GOTY no matter how good they are.

Coming from someone with one of the best multiplayer games ever in their avatar. :P
I'll change it up a little bit here and say Sport simulations.
Sports games can be fun, but when they tried to go for "realism", and make it all about trying to package their TV experience, into a fucking video game, then they just limit their audience to those few people. Hate the sports games that are all about just massaging the ego of "professionals", and make it all about marketing the real thing as opposed to making a fun experience.
I enjoy games that take a sport and make it a fun video game just fine. Super Mario Strikers, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl, NBA Jam, Everybody's Golf.
Edit: I'm also gonna say fuck MOBAs.
It's a tie-in between Sports games and MOBAs.
And the new contender that is Battle Royale is gaining on them by the minute.
People use 'hatred' for everything these days......
But going by OPs descriptions, certainly MOBAs/hero shooters.
I dont play much RTS games these days but i don't dislike them? Its kind of just indifference. Used to play lots of TA:K, Settlers and Age of Empires though. These days, not much interested, but not against them either.
I like fighting games but fighting games don't like me.
Definitely MOBAs. I've put in hours to see what it is my friends see. They are by far the most boring genre ever. Is it because I loved RTSs so much?
Sport games. All of them.
Mobas are right there along with sports.
Hate is such a robust expression when it comes to gaming. I´m personally not fond of sports and MOBA-genres. Or any online/multiplayer games.
I can't relate to MOBA's at all. Almost everything else I will at least dabble in from time to time, even if infrequently, but MOBAs are just too unwelcoming for me to have any fun, and I have no interest in conquering that.
Oh, also sports management sims. Like Championship Manager or whatever. I don't know what the hell that shit is even.
Grand Strategy games like Europa, Stellaris, Total War, etc.
MOBAs, racing sims and MMOs as well
MOBAs. I've tried playing and watching them numerous times, because I feel like there's something I'm missing and it will be amazing once it clicks... but it never clicked. I continue to be mind-boggled every time I see the numbers they get on Twitch.
FPS was the first genre I had in mind when reading the thread title, but I liked the old UT games and even some of the CODs on PS3, so I can't throw the whole genre under the bus.
hah, are you me? every now and then when i'm goofing around with nothing else to do i click a dota/LoL stream at random thinking "maybe today is the day where i will finally get why so many people are watching this". I never do.
MOBAS, endless cinematic third person narrative games. The latter shouldn't even be a genre but there's so many of them they may as well be.
MOBAs and their communities are total turn offs for me.
FPS like Battlefield and CoD. I like to play games to have fun and relax. All these do is tend to make people angry and vicious.
I would say sports but I do enjoy a good golf game on occasion.
To the seventh level of hell, MOBA's should go.
I hated playing defense of the ancients on wc3. So i never understood how that thing grew to become a genre.
MOBAs, easily. My friend tried to get me to play League of Legends for months and when I finally did play it I was falling asleep during the match.
MOBAs for me. Never got the hang of it, and I've never felt so useless in games before.
MOBA for sure. Toxic culture, and it's just a watered down RTS. Its popularity contributes as well. Tons of friends want me to play LoL. I refuse.
