I thought it might be interesting to share such recommendations. Post something if you hate particular genre, but liked a few games from it for some reason. For many, such recommendation might be more useful as it wont be clouded by fanboyism of any kind.
I was inspired by Bayonetta release - I hate slashers, never liked single game from this genre, but now thats it on Steam I'm wondering if I will like it. Once upon a time I hated FPSes. Only decline of RPGs, manifesting in Mass Effect which I did play, made me ease my judgment and try few more games from it. This way I really liked Far Cry 2 and 3. 2 was more important case, as I liked it despite FPS fans trashing this game for overt realism and GTA sandboxiness, both features which I liked. I still find it boring to play pure meat-and-grind linear FPSes like Doom and Wolfenstein.
So, right now i'm kinda neutral to FPS, but still hate slashers, MMOs and RTSes. Out of those, slasher - cant recommend anything, MMO- could be Elite Dangerous, though that is more space sim with MMO elements rather than proper MMO, RTS - Starcraft and obscure game Dark Colony.
