I had no access to games until I was 18 years old. Now I can't play much games due to job. But my childhood has been a blast without a screen and I am thankful for it. I am 23 btw.
I just started to find too many little things in games the started to break my experience, that games i wanted to play became too few and far between. It's now been a few years, I haven't played games since elden ring came out. But i feel excited to get back into it maybe in another year or so. By then there will be about 15-20 games to play through, which will all be finshed games, all DLC & updates in one package. Therefore i'd say, time away, a substantial amount of at least a year will help reset the gamer in you
I used to play video games religiously like 4 to 6 hours a day and right after the ps5 released I bought the ps5 and just lost the spark I took a hell of a break like 1 to 2 years now I’m putting money into a new desk a tv a chair and everything and am more excited than ever to pick up some of my favorite games again
Lol... People in the first world country dreaming of buying the games. Here is my third world ass, who dreamt of being able to afford fast internet connections, so I could pirate bay.... All the games I want, and also download the latest version of windows and office 😂. Things have changed now. Fast internet is really cheap, no longer feel intrested in playing new games. Bought vice city and San Andreas, a rally game, Prince of Persia... This time legal ones. I play any one of them when I feel like it. I don't even feel like watching Netflix dinsey plus, prime.... All of which I have subscriptions for.. What I do now for entertainment? Open RU-vid and listen to people describe the lore of large video game universes. Best entertainment ever
Ok, fair points. Also, it's hard to sit down with your friends sometimes and just game. I'm genuinely looking for average gamers to just have some fun online sessions with. If anyone is interested in doing some chill gaming and so on maybe get in touch.
Luckily when people grow up get a life and stop playing video games, imagine a world where adults are addicted to video games :D That South Park episode!
I’ve been trying to play Destiny, Madden, 2K, COD, Rainbow, random RPG’s and just NOTHING HITS! The only thing that hits right now is Minecraft and I turn 26 soon
I think part of it is the games themselves. Going from Snes/Genesis to PS1 to PS2 to PS3 were all giant leaps. Games were still innovative and tried new things. They felt like magic. When I first played GTA III my mind was blown. That kind of innovation is just gone now. Also, everything has become standardized, especially in regards to controls. We used to pick up games and not have any idea what button did what. Now every game controls and plays almost identically. It's become boring. I'm trying not to get too hyped but I really hope Rockstar does something crazy with GTA VI and brings back innovation and magic to video games.
For me it was live service slop that was killing it. I really hated the feeling of playing games like they were a job, what with "LIMITED TIME!!" BS making up half those games content. Why would I want to play that when I already have an actual job, school, and EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE to use up my time? It's funny because I started playing Baldurs gate 3, and I had such a good time, I just couldn't put it down, I hadn't felt that way about any game for a long while. But now after playing that and deleting all the live service slop on my PC (Apex, ow2), I'm actually having fun playing games.
Hey thanks for this video! I have ADHD pretty bad and get stuck in these blah moments. I am making the jump to making video content and live streaming my games here on RU-vid and on twitch. I have been contemplating what game(s) that I want to enjoy playing. This has helped a little bit on this journey of knowledge.
so you're telling me my uncomfortable gaming chair actually makes me worse at valorant, I guess people are right when they say they just have a good gaming chair
Get a Steam Deck. I walked away from gaming completely in 2009. I missed the tail end of the PS3 / XBox360 era; missed the PS4 (and whatever the MS counterpart console was) era, and have no interest in the current PS5 / Xbox era. But I had an itch a few months ago... so I bought a Deck. Long story short, I'm catching up on what missed, and I'm discovering games I missed when I was a gamer back in the 00s. Just finished Halo CE for the first time, and I was completely blown away.
Age is a factor. I used to love GTA in my 20's. I wouldn't even do the missions. I would just f-around with the cheat codes and spend hours firing rockets at the cops and using jet packs to steal helicopters. Now in my mid 40's, I got the GTA trilogy recently to relive those carefree moments of my 20's. It feels weird and I'm not able to get into it. I can still play games like Minecraft, TOTK, and Animal Crossing. Perhaps when you're younger, you're more attracted to the brash humor and violence of games like GTA but as you grow older and more jaded, you seek out more innocent games.
My problem is because the people that usual play video games are usually 16 and higher while I'm under the age of 12, it really stresses me out and I just wish I could get older but knowing the fact that growing up is going to be really hard is pulling me down 😥
Honestly I now have to get high to REALLY immerse myself, and I mean like I feel like I'm actually there. I notice things that I usually overlook now, like the attention to detail on screen, the sounds like a creeking floor or an ominous background song. Playing sober just idk I don't really notice most of that stuff or it doesn't seem as interesting
Then stop engaging in that stuff. It's exactly that stuff that's killing your attention span. It's like if someone only ate things like donuts then said that's the only stuff that would satisfy their craving. Like no shit. Is your mind really that dilapidated that you can't figure that out?
