Many games are still great though. Consider the steady rise of support for a certain Square Enix MMO...
Skumbo
Jokes on you I was never happy.

At this point I watch videos of the cutscenes so I at least get an interesting story. But honestly I can't find energy to grind
tcpolecat7
I'm in my late 40s, nearing 50, and still playing! You'll have to pry my controller from my cold, dead hands!
Loraxis
statistically speaking... Soon.
myusernameisbrunhilda
Goddamn right!
Snowman25
You didn't have to call us out like that! *sniffles*
kisamefishfry
The right game still makes me feel like a kid, Botw did that.

It's hard to feel the same when I don't feel anymore.
Hydroflora
Unpopular opinion - try going into a game with empty expectations, instead of allowing yourself to wallow in hateful comparisons.
Hydroflora
In my opinion, the real final boss....is yourself.
ObliqueRay
Speak for yourself man, I still get the same excitement.
VodkaReindeer
Try a new medium, like audio books.
MailbornJenkins
I opened 10 different pc and xbox games and none of them are sparking joy. Then i see this. Nice.
MaokaiIsTreelo
They just don’t make games like they used to. And I sound so old saying that.
IWasACatAllAlong
You would also be wrong. Blame yourself and not the games.
ToSisPoS
The feelings a game gave you were tied into the location and situations surrounding you at the time. You can’t go back, I’m sorry.
brianbrian4566
I feel this way about warcraft 2
Phlynch
I want you to know that just reading the words "Warcraft 2" was all it took and now Human 1 is going to be stuck in my head all day.
lovepeaceandhairgrease
Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, gave me this feeling again.
riplikash
Same.
KsuviKhor
Me too! I was filled with childlike wonder and awe as I explored the world - BotW is amazing!
SilverHornet
There's an update/expansion mod nearly finished for it
jetflight
Maybe not that level of enthusiasm, but damn if I don't sport a big grin when I get my hands on a good game for the first time.
Soufange
I'm like this with movies
wantfastcars
I very distinctly remember my first time playing my favorite game. It was the first time I truly realized games could bring such joy.
jetflight
I remember getting lost in Shadowglen, somehow. And how insanely massive Teldrassil was.
UnsolicitedRichardPicture
BotW, God Of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn made me feel feelings I hadn’t felt since Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.
OnePieceRoboFranky
Turning on that PC / game system and boot up the game for the first time. Knowing it's gonna be a banger for the next 20 or so hours.
jetflight
I'm a... bit of a slow player, so way more than 20 for me usually. I've had Fallout playthroughs that are over a 100 hours. Just one char.
Mistruths
I'm a pretty fast player and could get over 500 hours in one character before getting distracted or bricking my playthrough with mods
jetflight
I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to character appearance. The amount of hours I've spent dressing up my Skyrim and Fallout characters...
OnePieceRoboFranky
Whatever keeps that new game fresh for a bit longer.
nycterelis
I'm not sure what point this is trying to make. This can apply to any and every hobby. We're organic material. We age and expire.
TimmyTimm
How hard could it be to give me the next Skyrim?
ssss11
?
Leoninus
wow its 3 am and i didn't think i would be attacked so early
Ohlookitsaname
I have gamepass and already a vast library and yet no game has ever been as amazing as going from 2d games to LoZ ocarina of time and Mario
guy607
Avoid PvP games unless it's a small game with friends. It's made video games fun again. PvE games are the best.
snailbait
I see games as products for profit, where 20 years ago we had a desire to push boundaries and create something new and amazing.
RoombaTheAssaultVacuum
I play a ton of Destiny 2 still. On weekends, divinity original sin 2.
Whateverpeopleareevil
Man, ow!
ChristosMylordos
I'm 36, been a gamer all my life and I don't relate to this at all. I feel that I'm enjoying gaming more and more as the time goes by.
ChristosMylordos
Just look at the last generation: Bloodborne, God of War and Spiderman are now all one of my all time favorites
RoadskiN
I'm 36, there's the occasional game that is amazing. Most of them are just using the same formula from 20yrs ago for sales though.
NotNotDeadpool
Yeah great games are rare for me. weirdly Life Is Strange:True Colors had me binge it over the weekend. Great storytelling I think.
Vblink
The Just Cause series did it for me I waited till recently to play them and really enjoyed them.
MidnightCrisisDrawing
Maybe you're just old and can't addapt to the new era of gaming.
SemperCallide
Same. Every once in a while a new game will blow my mind like Nier Automata or Undertale, but they’re few and far between.
gizmonicus
Rimworld: day 39 on the ice sheet. I've killed and eaten my comrades. Patiently awaiting another raid so I can eat then and smelt their...
gizmonicus
...weapons and armor into valuable resources and make their.skin into hats for the bulk goods trader. I will live to see tomorrow. I hope.
Tacomassacre
I'm loving the hell out of Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous right now.
KungFuAnimeJesus
That’s why I generally play indie games
Gatotsu77
35 here, same boat. Valheim is among the few recent titles for which I was absolutely awe-struck by the sheer wonder of exploration.
jherazob
Hollow Freaking Knight. One of the best games in ages. But yeah, most fall into https://dvspress.com/the-5-phases-of-corporate-ip-ownership/
WyldStallionz1
Outer Wilds was the best I've played.
tr0lleyjack
It was stunning. So clever and original.
DmNerd
100% this. It’s really hard to find a game that sparks the same kind of feelings now.
DM3ntia
I haven't played any decent games lately.. then i found lost in random last week. First time in a great while i played a game for hours
FiendishDoctorWuTangClan
God of War was the last one to make me feel close to that again
Bristlecone42
Doom (2016) was a brief respite from the desolation.
RoverZC
Kingdom Come: Deliverance for me
Prolicon
My last game that really hyped me up was Yakuza 0. It was great.
mormacil
Indie games man, there's such a diversity. And I feel smaller casual games are easier to pick up then big sandboxes
RandAIFlagg
Indie games tend to have better gameplay and story, too. Most major studios are all formulaic these days.
Drylegs
As a 32-yearold I get back to the childhood passion with games that focuses on well-executing unconventional gameplay design. Had it with 1/
scotttenno
I implore you to try Antichamber. The best example of well executed unconventional design. Maybe my favourite game ever for this reason
zigbigidorlu
.
Drylegs
That's a good tip, thanks!
Drylegs
Death stranding and heard half life alyx and nier automata had that effect on people. When you were a kid you had never seen games before 2/
Drylegs
And was given something totally new yet polished to perfection. I'd look a bit into the indie dev scene as well 3/3
Bukkhockey
I played FedEx simulator and even though it was interesting, it also felt way too safe and often tedious.
DooksandPooks
I’ve recently stumbled into Bannerlords 2. It’s got a bit of a learning curve but once you get it the game is a lot of fun. Great battles.
UnfriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan
Spider-Man PS4, Destiny, Horizon: Zero Dawn. They're out there my friend.
TheGhostMinx
29 here. I mostly play just indie games and slow things now. Don't have the time and energy to really get into the hyper fps games. And 1/2
TheGhostMinx
speaking of time, I wish I had time and energy and the drive to make my own game. -.- 2/2
SemperCallide
I can be employed or I can be good at multiplayer FOS games, but not both
SemperCallide
FPS*
TheGhostMinx
Fuck yeah. Hell, I used to be top 250 in NA in world of warships. Now I can't be bothered to care about it.
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
Disco Elysium rocked my world. But even that is using an earlier formula (Planescape).
kingrd
Not really the same formula, considering there isn't cliche D&D 2nd edition combat jammed in
DetectiveGaff
32, and my secret to still really enjoying games is to ignore hype/discourse until I've played it. And a $2k rig doesn't hurt.
Oldememes
Now that I'm in my 30s and have little to no social circle, I can enjoy games on a 2-5 year delay with no consequences.
DetectiveGaff
That's fair. I like following communities and the like for fake points on the internet
NotNotDeadpool
Right? 2077 was awesome on PC honestly. And looked amazeballs with RT on
DetectiveGaff
Yep, exactly the game I was referring to. Some of the side stuff (Delamain, the crucifixion) was wildly engaging
NotNotDeadpool
For sure. Also living the mad max life with the Aldecados was a blast. And Panam was a gem.
Eldibs
I personally don't care for Ray Tracing, but Cyberpunk still looked amazing just running cranked at 4K, even with DLSS.
NotNotDeadpool
The light effects can be spectacular
Eldibs
And they really nailed the little moments in the game. I genuinely felt bad for Brendan at the end of his quest chain.
Ihatemostofyouequally
Yes. Really have to dig deep to find something worth playing. That being said I really enjoyed Intravenous.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
Subnautica and rimworld
RebelSkull
This has been my experience as well.
KentuckyFriedForeskin
If you're looking for another goodie, Psychonauts 2 is great.
ultradongle
What? When the fuck did they do a second Psychonauts? The first one is why I still own my original XBox.
KentuckyFriedForeskin
Came out about a month ago. Technically there's 3 if you count the VR that came out in 18'
Ihatemostofyouequally
Yea it was!
