Did video gaming pass you by?

[Orbital-Fetus]

I've been there for it all from past.

To present..

The entire history of video gaming

Yeah, I had one of these growing up, an Atari 2600 and an NES. Then when I was like 15-16 we got a legit PC and I played my first 3D world games. When I got out of college I started building my own PC's and discovered what PC gaming is.

not fully, I still play modern games but mostly stick to indies or a few really well-reviewed single player games.

I try to jump into multiplayer games once in a while , but lose interest one week in.

It was over for me once Call of Duty Modern Doorfare came out in 2019.

Campers. Goofy skins. Engagement Optimized Match Making.

Dude I’m not about this goofy shyt.

You pay $70 for a game that isn’t even finished. You’re basically playing a beta upon release. And 8 months later is when things get patched up. By then you don’t even care.

Gaming peaked in the PS2 era.
And frankly I miss the old Nintendo/Sega Genesis days.

Likewise breh

I want to be Cremated with the PS2100

Bruh i be thinking crazy thoughts like I just need a PS38 in my retirement home and im good.

Games are like TV shows for me. I only have the attention span for 1 at a time. Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 the last 4 months or so. Copped SF6, but I'm not really impressed. Might try Ghosts or Yotei once I get bored.

I'm still tryna cop a Genesis.

I never got into the online multiplayer wave which seems to be the focus of games now…that and nickel and diming with transactions…I’m a big wrestling fan and downloaded WWE 2k25, boot the bytch up and damn near every character is locked behind some kinda bullshyt paywall …the fukk

It’s partially that and the free leisure time I have gets ate up a lot by staring into my phone for random shyt…. That’s probably the biggest culprit, I’ll start a game say I’ll play it for an hour or two and spend most out it scrolling on my phone with the game on pause

 

[Lurk_skward]

I used to play games for the story and shyt. I got time for that anymore. I just play COD & battlefield where I can point and shoot with no thought

 

[Jasonmask]

Yeah I’m not that impressed with games these days. The ones that are “good” try too hard to be movies now cutscene after cutscene like damn wrap it up I’m playing E33 and that’s GOTY and I’m sitting there playing it like when something like RE4 had me like first twenty minutes. I blame TLOU for this not every game needs a long backstory or even a compelling story just give me quality gameplay you know the thing we pay $70 to do.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Can’t do it like I use to. I occasionally maybe once a year really get into an in depth game. But otherwise it has to be something I can easily pick up and get into and put down. That means no long cutscenes and dialog and straight action most of the time

These days, playing video games is just an expensive hobby.

Broke nikka rhetoric

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

No.

Y'all sound like Gen Z kids with no patience.


Maybe its my age, but gaming is meant to be relaxing. A good slow simmer story and good gameplay.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

These days, playing video games is just an expensive hobby.

No its not. If you dont play games just say that. Gaming is by far the cheapest hobby.

A $400 console and free PS5 games is a very cheap hobby for the amount of hours you get

I havent played video games since before my daughter was born..shes 5. Meanwhile my pops who's 65 is playing COD nightly, has a whole ass seat and steering wheel combo for Gran Turismo.
VR headset and what not...

I bought a PS5 for Black Friday and bought the gears of war reloaded game. I love it cause it’s simple.

The other games I bought I don’t play like that. Resident evil feels like a damn job.
