There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old? (self.truegaming)

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.

You belong on !patientgamers@lemmy.ml

I think I formatted that correctly.

I’m kinda the same. I’m looking forward to maybe trying Diablo 4 in a year or so once they get out of “public beta”

I've been on !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

They've been pretty active too.

My friends keep pushing me to get Diablo 4, but I'm just so against the idea of dropping so much on an always online game that got a price increase from the usual retail price on top of that. Not that I don't want to check it out, but later.

Good thing though is it seems like it is a solid PC port and runs well even on the steam deck which given the recent state of pc launches is so welcoming.

I’m hoping the always online part drops or there is a way to play it offline. After overwatch, I’m not getting into an always online game.

Next year it will be merged with their mobile app or something.
