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.
There is some confirmation bias, that’s likely true. However, I think they’re also looking at the old games through rose-tinted goggles. Those games were played when they were literally the best the market had to offer. The mechanics were fresh and the story was new.
I tried playing some olders games that I loved, and honestly I just couldn’t care less about them. As much as they were amazing back then, they’re nothing exciting by today’s standards.
