So, maybe I'm getting older?
So, I realize in the past few months I've had more fun playing Ocarina of Time on the 3DS, watching the Twilight Zone, and playing World of Tanks than anything else. I bought Advanced Warfare, Destiny, and the new Borderlands. Yet, none of those hypey fast paced games can keep my attention. I find myself more and more wanting to just solve puzzles and game at a slower pace. Fast laced gaming seems to have lost it's appeal. I haven't truly enjoyed an FPS since Reach, but I have liked many of them.
Has anyone else noticed that as the years go on, you find less and less of an urge to be highly competitive and are content with the occasional casual multiplayer experience?
[spoiler]Pretty happy about the MM remake for the 3DS, and I may grab MH4U when it drops eventually.[/spoiler]

I play old games nowadays only because I enjoy them more and I'm very thrilled for Majora's Mask after MCC.

What's getting old to me is how all of these games demand dedication for decent gear... I remember back in the day where weapons were seperated by factions/teams, now, they are separated by levels so the more you play, the better your character is so you get an advantage which is crap imo. CoD, Battlefield, Halo, Destiny, Blacklist, Assassin's Creed, just to name a few games that integrate this system. Its disappointing when the best multiplayer I ever played was on the PS2.

2 RepliesSame. In fact I'm more enthused with gaming videos, culture and news than actually playing games. At this point I don't want to spend time online. I want bubble baths, time for cooking or watching kids movies, reading books, and hanging out with friends in my day to day life. Texting has lost it's appeal. The internet bores me. Being inside makes me feel sick.

I have not noticed anything change with my gaming habits

I've felt the same way over the years. I'm not as competitive as I use to be. Nowadays I enjoy playing online multi-player and laughing at how stupid I look when someone beats my poor character to death and vice versa. I enjoy more slower paced games since I can relax and not worry about getting the highest score or last kill. I've also found that I don't dedicate a lot of time to play a game. A couple of hours is all I need. The games seem much more fun that way.

2 RepliesYep. I just do stuff for the fun of it now. I'm also not looking forward to many new games. I think I'm turning into one of those old people who's stuck in the generation they grew up in.

Yep. Destiny fell a little flat for me despite all the time I put in it with friends. Strangely though, I'm enjoying PvZ Garden Warfare quite a bit.

2 RepliesI turned 37 today. This thread actually couldn't be any more fitting to me. Trying to decide if I should go buy a corvette, find a bimbo, and officially start my mid-life crisis.

I assume it's because you enjoy mental stimulation from strategy. Not a lot of games can pull that off.
