To all my ex video gamers…

[Vancouver Grizzly Fan]

I play video games 3-4x a year. I have the "original" xbox and N64 which is at my moms house. When I visit her, I stay with her and play College Football 08, Madden 08, and 007 Goldeneye.

I'm way out of touch with video games, but, this is all I need for a few nights.

 

[Skooby]

About to play Civilization 6 right now while watching the game.

Don't play as much as I did when I was younger, but I don't see a day where I won't enjoy video games.

I'm apart of the first generation of people in history that gamed, (Atari 2600 and Colecovision).

I stopped at 28 and said I wasn’t playing again until I made 100k yearly. I made that a couple yrs later but I lost the interest to play again. I got married and had a family and sitting wasting all that time doesn’t appeal to me anymore. I see people literally addicted to that shyt and it looks gross.

The PS2/GameCube/Xbox/Dreamcast generation was the last truly GOATED era for gaming IMO.

I’ll take a hacked SNES Classic over any of today’s consoles, tbh.

Terranigma, Lufia 2, Mario All-Stars, Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3, Turtles in Time, Front Mission Gun Hazard.

Once my kids start whopping me .....

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I stopped playing way too early, when I was 17. I started working full-time and had things I wanted to make happen. Couldn't do that playing games all day

 

[Casso Dinero]

Got the red ring of death after the day after my warranty expired. Went a good 7 years without a console until one day I bought an Xbox One, I don't play it as much as I used to. Haven't really had time.

Games are becoming like film. Stories are to formulaic and meant to push propoganda instead of using the platform to tell better/cutting edge stories. It's making thing stagnant.


There aren't enough countries involved in actively making video games so we only hear stories from the Japanese and white Americans who are in line with their nations respective cultural push campaigns

 

[Dont@Me]

Once you have real responsibilities. There's really no time to game.

I thought once you have real responsibilities then it's game time

 

[Noriega]

When I started working full time at 19/20. I still own an Xbox, use it for Netflix & YouTube mainly.

Once in a blue moon on a rainy day I’ll jump on Warzone. Other than that I simply don’t have the time/interest

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Been gaming since '89. Can't ever see myself stopping.

Tell me you don't play indie games without telling me you don't play indie games.

Can't stop won't stop

I don't game anywhere near what I used to, but since the pandemic and wfh a nikka is always aware and ready when some new heat drops

Gaming and Marvel movies and having growing boys keep a nikka young at heart. I'll never quit

I was 29. The last game I played was Scarface. Not a bad game. I don't know what happened. I just stopped liking them out the blue. Just didn't hold my interest anymore. Video games were fun and was a real help when I didn't want to go out on the weekends and blow money in my clubbing days. But now I can't even think of even playing one.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Well the main reason I don’t play as much is because the friends I used to play with are all in different timezones.

So us getting together to talk shyt and play something casual fell off.

But I’m like the other person who said that they not grinding to play a game now. Ill play something like 2k just to get my player to a spot I want to get him at just so I can get online and compete, but thats it.

I’ll play a racing game like Forza when im in the mood

COD, Halo, Gears, or Apex when I’m alone and in the mood for a shooter.

Or ill play a story game of a franchise I like (Dying light) or something.

But any game that I got to play a story mode or something, I’m out. Main reason I don’t play my Playstation. All these random single player games getting pushed on the back burner

I do like my oculus though. Just funner to play with friends and not randoms.
