Then it got me thinking about other genres I feel are "lesser" in terms of gameplay. It is partially because I suck at them, but I never believe a fighting game should be full price either. I mean its just like two people one on one. I feel the same way about most spinoffs and party games. I mean they should lower the barrier since most of them require more equipment to enjoy (controllers, dance pads, bongos) and stuff.
So are there any genres you just don't think cut it?

If my understanding of the term 'rail shooter' is correct, I thought StarFox 64 was an awesome game and worth the full price of a standard video game. But that's just a single example. Couldn't vouch for any other rail shooter.
Would have to respectfully disagree with your stance on fighting games. Granted, the only series I play is Smash. But Melee was my most-played Gamecube game. And Melee and even Brawl have tons of content, stellar music, and nearly limitless hours of playability And for the number of hours I logged playing, it was probably worth a lot more than $50. And for the good fighting games, I believe just as much work goes into them as does any overrated game like GTA or MGS.
I agree with the party games, namely Mario Party and other clones like Raving Rabbids. Those games have no fun-factor when played by one's self.
I think the sports genre is definitely 'lesser'. You've played one NBA, NFL, NHL, etc, etc, etc... you've played them all. It's such a crime that they get away with releasing a new (Sports League Here) 20(XX) each year and charge full price for it. When it's the exact same. Oh wait! That's not true! We've updated our rosters and have a new 'street-ball' mode. Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.

Agreed. The only exception I would make are for the Mario Kart-like games. But I totally agree for the games like Forza that try to depict actual life-like racing. It's boring as hell too.
