Yes, but not nearly as much as I used to. You sort of lose motivation to do it when you only have an hour here or there to put into it. But it's not like I'm unhappy with the state of affairs. Life just gets busier when you're older for most people.
I get the urge to but the average time I actually play a game when I do get that feeling is at most 30mins. I don't know about you guys but I have a better time talking about past games and waiting for future games... its sad but its what I seem to be doing.Too_tight_shoes
Nailed it for me. I love talking to friends about the good times we had, or generally reminiscing about classics. Or just riding the hype train.
Like, I talk so much about ME2 when it comes up. But when it comes down to it, I've only played it through once. I want to go back and play it more, but the only time I have for playing is when friends want to jump into a co-op game.
Absolutely...unfortunately the time I get to do so is greatly diminished these days...between work and being a husband/father....not a lot of hours are left in the day....
[QUOTE="the_ChEeSe_mAn2"]Yes. 15 years after I discovered gaming, I am still having fun. I just don't play as much as I did before.berserker2389
It's been about 15 for me to you start to feel old when kids just start on the wii/360/ps3 lol I miss the good ol super nintendo days I don't feel that old compared to those people since I am only 21 myself :P
Absolutely. I'm a 28-year-old graduate student and college instructor (I teach developmental and lower-division mathematics) and gaming is my primary hobby. I didn't do a huge amount of gaming for a few years from about 2002 to 2007, but got back into heavy gaming in 2007.
Not as much anymore, all the games i was excited about are already out and so far none were quite what I was expecting, OVER PRODUCED, OVER SIMPLIFIED, OVER HYPED. Ive got to say the biggest let down so far was Final fantasy 13, Resident evil 5 was SO-SO, God of war 3 was good but not quite like the other two, Metal gear 4, ( played it again lately, too many cut scenes and load screens). Grand theft auto 4 was nowhere near asfun as San Andreas, About the only game i got a real kick this generation so far was from dead space, and even that was "somewhat familiar" and I gues that after that I've sort of drifted from gaming, none of the titles on the horizon interest me that much either. Lately my ps3 has become more of a fancy dvd than the "ULTIMATE GAMING MACHINE" I thought it was going to be.
I still do, but it's getting harder to find motivation and patience. I work for at least 8 hours a day, I find it difficult to boot up a game for just a couple of hours. For example, I love RPG's but I can't invest that much time in them. And especially when they're hard/difficult, I don't want to play for 2 hours, then lose and then I have to start over again. It feels like I'm losing time.
I want to relax when I'm coming home from work and I find many games to be quite stressfull. I'd love to see game companies add an "I have a day time job, please spare me" game mode to their games. I love RPG's for their stories and immersive world, but I don't like the hours of grinding and repeating boss battles. It's just NOT fun, it's work.
I'm on spring break right now (not anymore tomorrow lol), so I've been playing too much Minecraft, as always. Mostly because I don't have any other games to play- my backlog is practically empty, and the last game I bought was Dragon Quest VI on the DS. And I really only play that on the bus.
However, when my birthday comes around (april 19), I can look forward to getting the 3DS and Portal 2. 8)
