Do you try games that fall outside your comfort zone? Planetside-2-preview-4

So the other day a friend asked me why I'm so enamored with PlanetSide 2. It's just another shooter, he said, and while this is true on some level, it's also about as accurate as saying that Guild Wars 2 is just another fantasy grinder.

Without getting into what separates GW2 and PS2 from their respective baselines, the larger question here is what does it take for games to cross the threshold that separates "successful" from "mega-hit cultural phenomenon." There are a lot of great games out there, but only a tiny percentage manage to transcend their genre trappings and attract people who don't normally play in that particular sandbox.

What say you, Massively readers? Do you try games that fall outside your comfort zone, and if so, what does it take to hook you?

I learned that an open mind in games gave me some great moments of gaming.
And I don't always follow the good reviews. I had games I liked that had bad ones, and the other way arround.

You also can learn alot from other games in MMO.

I think the Olympics are a nice example of this ;-)
