Childlike wonder you had for video games is gone

>childlike wonder you had for video games is gone
Where did the time go?

The what now?

I still have this feeling sometimes. Depression has ruined my life man

I experienced a fleeting moment of that feeling with sonic mania, maybe

I wish they made it longer or even harder to pad out the length

I'm hoping this and the new Spider-Man is gonna help me with regaining that feeling. I feel like Tekken 7 could do the same too.

start playing new games and not multiplayer shit constantly and you'll know that feeling again

You grew up, you faggot /r9k/-reject.

I want to die.

>grew up
>on /vee/

>tfw get as nostalgic for shitty chiptune music as much as I do for Michael Jackson and the Beatles

>childlike wonder you had for video games is gone
>now you mindlessly grind through as much of a game as possible before the facade breaks and you realize you're just doing it because it used to be fun
It's near impossible for me to play any singleplayer games nowadays. I don't touch anything story-driven, not even most RPGs. Only games with mind numbing routine and grind are bearable for me. Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm a full-time wageslave and five years into it I think I've finally lost my soul. Not sure where to go from here desu

>playing a long, multi-disc long JRPG as a child
>feel like you're actually on a huge adventure, like an actual world is contained in those discs

>playing same thing today
>"guess i better get this out of the backlog..."

...

How old are you guys anyway?

31

>Still like video games
>Developed other hobbies so I'm not over-reliant on them

It's a good feel. You guys are faggots

lmao

I feel the same way about other shit too. I would've loved John Wick and Kendrick Lamar when I was 12.

I rewatched the latest Godzilla and goddamn everytime a human appears on screen he fucks up something. EVERY GODAMN SCENE.
I hope they learned with Kong for the next movie.

I think it might have something to do with having everything available at all times.

As I kid, I had the few games I'd get a year plus whenever we could rent one. Those games were explored relentlessly and played until I literally had nothing more to do in them anymore. I remember playing Double Dragon 2 NES all weekend and getting a speedrun down to 15 minutes, thinking that was the coolest shit.

Now, I've got the internet and disposable income. Sometimes it feels like I finish a game just to move on to the next one in my giant backlog, not because I was enjoying it. And if I find a game just even slightly annoying in a mechanic, I can just drop it and play another without fear of running out.

I think my limited options made me appreciate what I had more.

>As I kid, I had the few games I'd get a year plus whenever we could rent one. Those games were explored relentlessly and played until I literally had nothing more to do in them anymore

Fucking this. Everyone shit's on open world games now, understandably, but games like GTA San Andreas and Ultimate Spider-Man had so much cool shit. That's to say nothing when it comes to mastering more linear games.

which one? 2016 or 2014....

both were p good imo

>the latest
>2016 or 2014

most people haven't seen, let alone heard about the 2016 version you daft cunt. So its appropriate to clarify which one is the latest, because they could be referring to the 2014 version.

A lot of you guys seem like you're playing these games because you "have" to, just wait until you actually want to play games to do it, in the meanwhile do other things with your free time

>Ragdoll physics will never be a rare and awesome thing in games again

delet this right now

If I don't play videogames there's nothing else for me to do, I literally have no other hobbies

I still get that feeling sometimes when I play retro games. New games usually do nothing for me though.

The fuck. I'm a full time wagie now and I can't standnplayingnlong grindy games. I prefer older rpgs that are concise and without the grind because I have no time for that shit.

it's not the time. designers just don't put love, sweat and tears into their games anymore. why put in the extra effort if the consumer base has diluted to such an extent the majority of them are too stupid to even notice?

>tfw i have a non-vidya skill but turning it into a hobby is expensive as hell
