3D 3rd person platforming. Any flavour of it. It consistently either sucks (souls games) or is just plain boring (the uncharted series). I'm sure there are some games where it's done reasonably well (probably some sonic or mario game), but I've never seen that.
Yeah I think of Mario 3DS, which really blew me away.
I think what sucks is platforming in 3D games that are not primarily platformers. I don't think it has anything to do with 3rd person perspective. If anything, 3rd pp makes it easier to see exactly where your character (and their feet) is and how they can jump.
A hat in time is a good platformer for instance
