I was until I moved like three weeks ago and got decent internet for the first time in like five years but I've played like 14 hours of titanfall 2 over the last two weeks and basically I love it |
| IkeTheGeneric:
games become unfulfilling if you use them solely for escapism |
| halonerfer29:
I've only played like 6-7 of those games back and forth over the past four months. |

thank god i'm not alone. I haven't been able to enjoy video games for the past two years or so. the only time I play games anymore is for nostalgia for particular old games I used to play but even then I struggle to play them for long sessions at a time because it just gets so boring. then there's smash bros which I only play with friends now because I love the competitive and technical aspects of it and the rush of pulling something off or improving in some way and I also just enjoy being around friends more than I do playing games in general. I think PhantOS explained it really well but I wish it were different. I miss being able to get a new game, sit down and binge it and enjoy every moment of it, even if it wasn't a "good" game by modern standards. I guess it's a testament to how your priorities change as you get older and seek more fulfillment than whatever rush the lights on the screen give you. Stranger still is that despite my inability to enjoy playing games now I love watching other people play games on youtube and stuff like that. That could just be the result of my recent association of exclusively playing games with people so I'd rather "share" the experience of a game being played. Things are more fun when you're with someone. |

that last line is extremely important - humans are social creatures. we can only tolerate solitude tor so long, and most games are really only played alone, without face to face interaction. online multiplayer doesnt really cut it when it comes to replacing social interaction |
