[A Black Falcon]

I don't most of the genre as a whole, just like you don't like the football genre. But just because you don't like something as highly praised as Madden doesn't mean that you have bad taste in games. No, what matters is the games you like in the genres you like. For example, you like the arcade racing genre but like shit like Cruisin' which every intelligent racing fan despises.

You won't let that go no matter how many times I explain it... it's getting REALLY old. Will you actually listen for once? No? Didn't think so. Anyway, Cruis'n is a decent series if you just want to drive. It's got no depth and it gets old fast, but if all you want to do is drive and are in an arcade, it's a fun game. Not really much more than that and certainly not one of the best racing game serieses. Just a fun arcade racer. Comparing it to other Midway (arcade) racers for instance, it's got nothing on Hydro Thunder, not to mention Rush...

And I haven't played Madden so I won't judge it. Who knows, if I took the time to figure out how to play the game I may enjoy it some...

I thought of that arguement, actually. And in many cases 'I don't like the genre' works. But you have proven that you DO like games virtually identical! See: KotOR! BG is like KotOR but with less story (though it's certainly got a good and good length story, KotOR's is definitely better. And it's got stories and character development for the other party members... like BGII or Torment, but something that BGI didn't have.) and harder combat... so no, the 'I don't like the genre' reason doesn't work since you have demonstrated to, in fact, like the genre.
