Love the hobby/sport/genre in other media but hate the game genre (or vice versa)?

Anything to do with games at all.

Another vice versa one for me would he the horror genre. I'm not a fan of horror films at all really - there are obviously some good examples but I generally wouldn't choose to watch one, but I do love me a good horror/scary game. Resi, Silent Hill, Amnesia etc. I love them all!

Driving games to an extent - I actually very much enjoy driving when it's quiet and I can get onto the scenic roads in the countryside near my flat, but generally it's not a fun pastime. I love driving in games though.

I also kind of echo the FPS comment - I've never had a panic attack paintballing and the team building aspect of it is fantastic but the idea of airsoft and the kind of people who think they genuinely look cool in army fatigues and a very realistic facsimile of a very deadly weapon put me right off any kind of shooting as a hobby or pastime.

I don't like driving anymore. It's hugely expensive and there is too much traffic and terrible drivers on the road. I prefer to use public transport or if the weather is nice I'll cycle.

Love racing games though.

Tony Hawk's and Brian Lara Cricket were big ones - had literally no interest in the sports (either watching it on TV or physically doing it) but loved the games.

I do like rally and TOCA but don't go out of my way to watch it on TV or attend it Live, but again think the games are brilliant.

Really like watching/attending Formula 1 but haven't played the games since Codemasters took over.

Can't stand football and most sports but I do enjoy their video game equivalent/
