Any type of games or gameplay you don't like because of AS?

My difficulties with hand-eye coordination make trading card games more of a chore. I can still enjoy them but having to physically manage everything takes a lot of work for me and diverts my attention away from the actual gameplay. As a result I can't really think about what I'm doing as much. It isn't a problem if everything's electronic but when there are physical cards it takes some of the fun out of it.

...Facebook "social" games that require you to have lots of friends playing in order to pass their stupid requirements and quests.

I forgot one. Trophies that require you to beat really hard mini games. Like in Assassin's Creed 3. I tried playing all 3 games and I got whooped at all three of them.
It takes me way too long to learn the rules and form strategies.

Of late?

My biggest gripe with a game is when it doesn't "reward" you for doing stuff in a given period of time.

Granted, I felt Skyrim blew chunks, but Oblivion was pretty good (even if there was no replay value to it).

I tried Morrowind, and I can't get into it. Granted, I can allow for the primitive look of it (compared to Oblivion), but it takes SO LONG to get anything of substance done in the game (and all the complex details to boot) that I lose interest in playing it. It's not so much a need for "instant gratification" as it is a limited attention span.

A game I think is a good balance for me is Lord of the Rings Online. In that game, you can spend too much time playing it, but objectives don't take hours to complete. So, I can sit down for an hour or so and feel like somethings were accomplished...even if indeed I've only moved a small bit forward in the overall progression of my character's growth.

Fighting games tend to be too fast-paced and sensory for me. I prefer turn-based strategy, 4X "empire-building" games, wargames, sims, business games, and RPGs (Western and Eastern). Pretty much any deep, complex game involving strategic management of resources.

RPGs with a lot of customizable stats, skills, and such. i like stuff to be learned and distributed automatically when playing RPGs.

I'm not much of an FPS person because of the motor coordination and precision to do it. That, and I prefer to see all the angles of my character when playing. Not sure if that's tied to AS, though.

I have problems with what I've seen people refer to as "twitch" gaming. I can't do things that require a lot of multitasking or fast reactions.

It doesn't matter that all my combats are maxed out. In Runescape there are bosses that I can't kill and I can't kill Jad. Others don't understand this and some don't even believe me when I say I can't because to them it is easy.

I like fighting games but don't play them much since I find combos and quick reactions pretty difficult to do.

Never been any good at shooting games and don't like most of them either. I had fun with Perfect Dark but wasn't really good at it.

I'm not sure why, but I'm not too fond of side-scrolling games. I feel like I can't move as I want to and at the same time there's too much on the screen that I have to pay attention to. I think it makes it harder for me to time things like jumping.

Social games that require me to interact with with other people are bad for me as well. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy playing stuff like League of Legends or other MMOs.
