Hardest genre?

So, in your opinion, what is the hardest genre or what is the hardest one to master?

Personally, I think it's RTS since I'm really bad at micro-management and it just seems to take a lot of strategy and tactics to be good at them.

Fighting (except for Super Smash Bros) and FPS come at a close second considering no matter what, I always seem to be the n00b in all matches I play. :P

RTS hands down. Redmoonxl2

Absolutely.  I couldn't win many of the old school games, but most games these days can be finished if you have the time.

Don't let your nostalgia fall in. Old school games are some of the easiest games ever created. I can pass most in literally an hour (any of the Mega Man's, Super Mario's, etc. etc.)

Ultra-realistic FPS (aka Red Orchestra).

And I still suck at RTSs...

SHMUPs seem the most difficult to me. I'm not great at them, but I've seen some of the crazier ones, and it's rather ridiculous. The level of pattern recognition and sheer precision required to win is unsurpassed anywhere.

I totally suck at RTS games, though, so that could also count.

I would have to go with RTS, especially when it comes to "concluding missions" impossible to beat imo (Never actually tried to cause it simply aint possible) Seriously to whoever finished the warcraft 3 last mission (Orc, Elf, Human Vs undead) congrats...haris12121212

Well, maybe some people wouldn't consider SSB to be a fighter, but it's the only 'Fighter' I'm good at.

Oh man, I remember those. It was living hell trying to beat them. In the end of one of them, it literally seemed liked it was raining Zerglings.

Super smash bros. is probably one of the hardest fighting games to truely master. because the timing is rediculus. short hop fast fall laser, short hoping in general with some characters, wave dash, shine wave, teching, real edge gaurding, and truely improvised combos, and just plain knowing exactly where to get your character at the right time, take FOREVER to really get down. Its not just a button masher I promise.

EDIT: I wold have to say that multiplayer RTS is one of the hardest and most nerve racking gaming experiences there is when you are playing against someone good. the shear sence of urgency makes it that much harder. (especially when you are looking down the wrong end of a zerg rush)
