It seems that I am less and less interested in new games and am happier playing older games on emulators. I still game a decent amount, but I don’t even watch gaming news for new stuff.

I loved Skyrim, but I am not even interested in reading about starfield. It just seems that it’s going to be an extremely involved game. But at the same time I’d have no problem playing through Skyrim again and to be fair I just played through tears of the kingdom.

Anyone else have this problem as they are getting older? I’m in my mid 30s btw.

    I still look forward to them, but it’s been years since I’ve gotten games at launch. I mainly wishlist them to keep track of when they start getting discounted. Usually don’t get them until the DLCs are all out. I think that’s kind of helped me still have excitement for triple a titles, since the experience has been pretty good for the most part compared to launch.

    But, it’s been a very delayed excitement where some games if the reception is terrible I remove them from my plans to ever check it out. So I guess this kind of pre filtering of games I end up playing has helped curate the experience.
