re: Do you enjoy gaming?

maybe he just wants to torture himself

Just turned 26 and I used to game hard but the first person shooter genre has gotten stale to me and no NCAA football has made it hard. I can’t invest in the shitshow that is madden and I was never a 2K guy. I enjoy the hell out of Fortnite but if I didn’t have some baws to play with I probably wouldn’t.



I still enjoy third person games like the Arkham series, Uncharted and recently played God of War and loved it. Those are kind of in my bag now. I also enjoy games like Mafia or LA Noire. Wish more 1920-40’s gangster, noir based games were made. But those are the types of games I enjoy. Don’t just randomly pick up games and play them through like I used to. Real selective though I’m not sure why

Will be 50 this year, and I love gaming, but there just haven't been many games over the last year that are in my wheel house. I do a lot more traveling now for fun.

I still game. 32 currently. However my tastes have changed to more history and strategy focused. Although, Smite on Xbox is pretty fun.

I go in spurts though now. There can be weeks of nothing and then weeks I go ham.

My job can be intense and I have a wife and 3 daughters. Some times I need to close the door and "de-stress" and gaming is one of the ways I can do that.

I was huge on RPGs from middle school through high school. Had a final fantasy obsession. Then in high school I got into halo with some friends but halo is about the only game I care to play online. Once college hit I pretty much quit gaming besides the occasional madden against a friend.

28 now and a few years ago I was getting bad with drinking. It was all I was doing on my off days so I purchased an xbone to have something else to do. First game I bought with it was Witcher 3 and bam...it reminding me how much I love a good rpg. That was all I did summer of 2016, work and play Witcher 3.

Now I’ll play a little halo here and there with a couple friends but mainly I pick out a good rpg after reading reviews and take it slow, playing it over the course of 4-5 months which is what I’m currently doing with divinity: original sin right now. After I finish a long rpg I have to take a break. I’ll probably end up taking a break until red dead 2 comes out

The thing with me and RPGs though, is I only like to start playing if I have a lot of free time to burn at once. Like I’m talking 3-4 hours. I don’t like booting it up just for an hour because I’m probably not gonna get anything done in the game in that time. I guess I’m a binge player. With halo though I get sick of it after about 10 matches

Anyone here post 30 and find that your engagement with the media is different? Like I said, enjoyment comes from Wikis about games than actually playing.

I turned 33 a couple months ago. I'm an ultra competitive person and I've always had one hobby at a time that completely consumes me. Gaming fills both of those for me at this time. In my teens it was baseball. My early to mid 20s was poker and now it's gaming.

I don't play near th hours I used to, I attribute that to the lack of single player only games. I can only play online so long before I get bored.
