Actually, it's more of the opposite for me. I mean, I tend to dislike almost all genres apart from a selected few which I truly enjoy. There are many genres which I can play to "waste time", and to some it might not be clear for when I am playing or doing something for fun, or just to pass the time. Sometimes it's not even very clear to myself.
I think reading books is spending my time well. I think spending my time on games with deep stories to be worth my time (typically PnC/walking simulators/indies).
I think playing FPS games are a waste of my time, but I still play those every once in a while.
As far as my absolute least favorite genre, it would probably be puzzles or sports. For puzzles, I'm just so horribly bad at puzzles that I cannot possibly even attempt to solve them, making them really boring. I can spend hours on a single puzzle, without figuring out what to do. It's not so that I'm less intelligent than other people, I would actually deem myself to be smarter than the average person, but for some reason I just cannot think in a way that puzzles requires me to. I do find that most puzzles make sense if someone tells me the solution: but I would never be able to figure out the answer myself, sadly.
This is mostly just a problem with PnCs, because many point a click games can have some really good stories, but they contain a ton of puzzles. I tend to cheat in these games, as in, as soon as there is a puzzle, I will just look up the solution. This might be ruining the game for some people, but for me, the fun thing with PnC games is the story: and not the puzzles.
Sports are rather self-explanitory. I don't particulary like sports in any shape or form. I never liked watching it, and I don't like participating it in either. I used to be a real sports fan a few years ago, and I must say that i have been a part of almsot every possible sports club you could think of through my life. I liked sports then, but I don't like it now. I do still exercise, and I think of sports as more of a way to exercise, than a fun activity.
And I agree, FPS games and Sports games all feel the same to me. I used to be a huge fan of CSS, and I once played CoD MW2 and I enjoyed that aswell. But after those (ps: there were several years in between the time I played CSS and later on CoD) two I really felt that most other FPS games were really just the same. I do have a desire to purchase CS:GO now, but really... That's mostly due to me wanting to play CSS again, but with updated graphics and such, and that's pretty much what CS:GO is.
To generalize, I have to say that... Sports games and FPS games will never be much different from today. Unless you change the sport itself, nothing is going to change, and FPSes aren't going to change... Because the only point with them is to have a gun and to kill someone else.
I'm sure other people could generalize in simlar ways to games and genres that I like myself, and I'm certain fans of said genres would think there is a lot of variety between the games, but personally: I don't really see it.
