My wife lamented that I might be losing interest in games. I pointed out the 150 hours Ive put into Diablo 3 in the last month. She said Oh yeah.


Yea I put like 500 hours in Path of Exile and 500 hours in Warframe in the past 6 months, but I've bought like 3 games this year.

I think most of us still very much like to play our favorite games; it's just that we're becoming more selective about what we buy/play, and over time fewer new releases seem like must-haves.

I have rented more games this year than past years. I find a lot of the PS4 exclusive games are just one and done experiences. I've bought about 6 switch games though so there's that.

I don't understand how any year could be a crappy year of gaming (in the context you're using with this topic) unless you never play games from before the current year. This was widely considered one of the best years in gaming, and one where I personally played the most new games in decades, but I'd still say the vast majority of games I played this year didn't come out in 2017.

Every single year people say something like it's the worst it's been for video games, and while I certainly bought significantly less games this year compared to others there's still plenty of (Supposedly)good games that came out this year.

I thought this year sucked aside from Zelda and the Crash Bandicoot remakes. Everything has too much DLC now.

Horizon is one of the most overrated games Ive ever played.

Games are vastly different that what they used to be. While you might have "grown" out of them, more than likely what you are feeling is pushed out with terrible consumer practices and uninspired corporate focus works.

Horizon and persona 5 were good, I can't think of anything else.

Like others are saying, this comes with getting older. You start realizing that you're seeing many of the same things you've already seen so your hobbies may become boring if they are media content generated by companies.

Nah it's just a sucky time to be a gamer.

RPG and Strategy genre is effectively dead.

There are a few companies still making great games in the genres, but it's not a yearly thing.

Kinda like that for me in the sense I've lost interest in paying for half finished games only to be expected to pay more and more. As each year passes I become more selective in the games I buy.
