My Attention Span Has All But Eroded

[bogey_j]

played about 5 hours of fallout 4 and I find myself a lot. I honestly have zero desire to go back to it. big purchasing mistake there (should've got rainbow six instead)

bought lightning retuns on steam. played for literally 30 minutes and was so bored my eyes were literally watering uninstalled.

looking back, its a wonder I beat the witcher 3 at all, but for the most part it was a snorefest and I was through that game as well

fukk breh, I just don't have the patience for these long-ass epic-ass single player games anymore...

I feel ya breh, it's this damn phone that's causing my pain. I can't even watch tv/movies/sports right anymore. Hell when I play video games I stay checking my sh1t. I can't count how many times I Fuked up by looking at my phone. I can't pay my full attention to sh1t anymore

 

[be back in a bit]

You're playing boring games. I'm done with these bloated open world games too. Just cop Rainbow Six breh. Yeah you'll be down $45 but at least you'll have a great game to play.

 

[Another Man]

On the real, I don't even have the attention span to play a lot of games unless I'm high

 

[Black Bolt]

Fam I with you, which is why when I find games I like I cherish and enjoy 'em cos Lord knows more often I'm like

Shout out the Infamous Series, XCOM series, Tomb Raider, MGS V, Destiny, Spec Ops, Rocket League et al Y'all held a brotha down

Too many bloated open world games. I prefer more story driven games.

I thought I was the only one. I remember playing the shyt out of most my games back on the 360 but now I can barely even bother picking up any new game I purchased after a while. Normally I come home from work and just watch netflix. Don't even bother playing. Am I getting too old or ?

I'll be pushing 26 next months. Cougars probably won't even want to fukk with me

Those are the only games I can stay engaged with these days. Tried a couple of the smaller indie titles lately and after the first play session I never turn them on again.

Games like fallout and Witcher have me thinking about them when I'm not playing, can't wait to jump back in.

Same here OP I can't play single player shyts no more i fall asleep, only adrenaline fueled multiplayer hold my interest these days

 

[Mowgli]

Open world games to heavy on bloatware quests and not on real compelling moments.

Witcher calls a quest a question mark killing the same bandits and ghoul nests. fukk outta here

I'm literally on thecoli, listening to a podcast, browsing my computer, watching a video (it has no dialogue, though) and I'm want to play my PS3. Help me.

 

[ridge]

smartphones have ruined our attention spans more than any other single thing IMO

 

[Why-Fi]

of course because all the blockbuster devs are cutting the wrong corners

looped up quest structures
using time and distance as mechanics (that shyt is meant to be a money grab mechanism for mmo's)
watered down basic AI...detect and attack aggro aggro aggro
too few systems that dont interact with each other or affect the game world...ie detachable minigames
bare bones embedded narratives posing as emergent narratives
weak presentation

DA:I, FO4, Witcher 3, and probably a dozen less popular...guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty

of the shyt i played...the order 1886 caught a lot of flack for what it wasnt, but at least it knew what it was and gave a kick ass presentation.
thats more than a lot of these hype boxes can say at the moment

im enjoying mgs V and gta V right now, both are complete packages so far. just waiting to have my mind blown by UC4 later this year.
