My Gaming Era has come to an END

It is official, as of today (4.15.2023) my gaming era has officially come to an end & I no longer find joy or desire to game.

My first game was Blue Version back when I was 7 - it was the first Christmas in the new house and I was beyond excited starting the game up.



I am now 32 and I end my gaming journey with Ori and the Blind Forest.

After playing that game (took me a month to finish as I had little desire to play most days), I found no joy in beating it & no joy in the next game to play.



What a wonderful time it has been however, all things must come to an end.

Good on you OP. So no upcoming games excite you at all? Diablo 4, FFXVI, Zelda BoTW 2, Stalker 2, or even the unknown but anticipated TES VI or GTA VI?

What will you do with your newfound free time?

Honestly, there was one game, Hollow Knight: Silksong, but that's been TBA for the better part of 5 years now, so that's really about it.

Well, currently working on certifications for work that will allow me to move up in terms of pay - might as well knock those out quicker now that the gaming distraction is gone.

Play some joocy triple A titles instead of some cucky indy sht and you may change your mind. Gaming definitely has gone to sht to some extent but hasn't been ruined completely yet. This year actually has some solid sht coming out. If for nothing else the rule 34 pr0n is amazing.

You'll gravitate back to it some day, OP. I've always enjoyed games but there was a period for many years where I didn't play very much. I might pop in Donkey Kong Country or another familiar game I'd played literally hundreds of times for 15 minutes just to wind down when things were heavy. Things took a turn when I received a Nintendo Switch as a gift - a console I would have never bought myself, with the new Zelda game. I think I had been avoiding it, both due to financial reasons but also not wanting to be disappointed since Ocarina of Time is one of my all-time favorites, but it exceeded my expectations. That led to me exploring other games in the Switch library which were also fantastic. I'm now playing video games again about an hour in the evening to wind down in the middle of doing other stuff. I have a nice little relaxation routine going after 7pm. I look forward to it every day and plan on getting the new Zelda game next month.

Don't give up, OP. Something will come around to excite you again

Feel like I go through that once a year. Then 3-4 months later I pick up some game and I'm back into the hobby.

Please enlighten OP as to what he should be doing besides playing a video game that would constitute being an 'adult.' Say he has 2 hours in the evening to engage in a solo activity of his choosing, what should he do instead?

Maybe, I do still have the Super Nintendo Mini that I got myself a few years back (more as a nostalgia buy) that I could potentially still play whenever I get that itch again.

It does have Donkey Kong on it, which to this day, I still have never beat.

Why assume that I didn't do any of those other things and spent my time just playing video games?

lol. sounds like someone hasn't really ever bothered playing what they're complaining about.

Wife is doing her thing, kid is asleep. It's too dark outside to bike. You've already worked out. There's a book, a movie, and a video game in front of you. You realize your simplistic analysis can then be applied to either of these, yeah? In a movie, someone goes here, does this, gets this, finds themselves in this sticky situation, finds a way to resolve it, ending. Same with a book. Same with a game. This idea that games are all about running around killing everything is the kind of nonsense you'd hear back in the early 90s. Educate yourself, boyo.

I'm not a massive gamer, just calling out bullschit when I smell it. Or, in this case, see it since I can't smell through my screen cuz I'm not caninemaxxed because if I were, all I'd be doing is sniffing the ever lovingfukout of fat female turd cutters on every corner of these here internetz.

I find these days I just enjoy mostly single player, somewhat linear games with a good story or a good progression system.

Most open world and multiplayer games these days are just a chore to play and not fun imo.

I'm at this point too. Simple, relaxing, non-challenging, with a well-thought out and written narrative, primarily linear. I've delved into indie titles since last fall. There's some real gems out there. Open-world games were fun in my later teens when I had more free time and could play Skyrim till 3am but I really don't have that luxury anymore. I mostly use video games to wind down for an hour or so in the later evenings after all the day's tasks have been accomplished. That's really the only time I can find. I tend to be so tired at that point that I can't tolerate challenging games at all.

It's funny how joyless gaming becomes for people who have no real interests to pursue with video games.

Like gamers are literally just into video games as their hobby, they don't have any other hobbies or interests that tie into gaming. For example, I am into cars and motorcycles so I am into racing games with cars and bikes. It's like no matter what, I just enjoy a good driving game.

With a lot of gamers, it's like they gotta just be pursuing the critically acclaimed bullchit or they're lost.

Nothing wrong with casual gaming. I'll pick up the controller, play one mission or for about 20 minutes as a brain break. Never understood how people play for hours and hours.

Just reloaded GTA5 and I'm enjoying it again even though I know all the missions.

I remember really enjoying GTA5. Probably the first GTA game where the main story really drew me in. With past games, I just liked driving around doing random stuff. I also went to LA and explored California just before this game came out and it was really cool and interesting to see that area represented in a game. I had the same experience with Fallout 4 as I spent some time working in Boston around that time. I remember doing the freedom trail with a colleague and I knew exactly where I was going because I had just played Fallout and my colleague, who thought games were just shooting things, was really confused.

Most of that crap is repetitive too. Life by nature is repetitive. Dumbass
