That's a (You) problem

They get even better when you play them with your kids.
You have kids, right?

>>722921626 (OP)
Because the industry continues to evolve and change but your taste in games has been set in stone. You know what kind of games you will actually like and what you will hate, so there’s just handful each year that appeal to your personal taste.

Because it's difficult to daydream when you are stuck in a dead-end job and all the free time you have is just you procrastinating something more adult

Because 8 hour (or 10 in the third world) eat up your day's time
Modern games last anywhere from 20 to 50 hours so a game lasts you a week up to a month
A movie or a TV show lasting a fraction of the time gives you the same enjoyment
You no longer have the childlike wonder for discovery to see how huge, interactive video game worlds are and what secrets they hold
You weigh the financial decision of 80 dollar. games rather than your parents

I can go on and on

Because it's easier to just lay in bed staring at your phone after spending all day in your wage cage.

Even the zoomers aren't having fun anymore and are getting into "retro".

>>722921626 (OP)
Because games are different
Take graphics out of the equation, and games are night and day different between now, 10, 20 and 30 years ago
Most people don't care about what's actually wrong with gaming because most are complacent with, or enjoy what's wrong with it
So I just enjoy what I already have, and watch with morbid curiosity how the industry will further spiral into whatever the hell it's becoming

>>722921939
stop lying, it sucks

>>722921626 (OP)
You keep playing the same games. Play games you haven't tried yet.

>>722921626 (OP)
I dont have fun with games anymore and all i can think about while playing is how much fun kids would have playing the game.

>>722921626 (OP)
because your body is screaming at you to reproduce before it's too late

by 30 you quickly realize how little time you actually have

>>722922663
but anon isn't a woman

You didnt develop any brain functions or interests while not playing so you dont actually enjoy anything you just sit infront of a screen and mash buttons like the fucking retard you are.

i already don't want to game anymore and i'm 21
the looming realization that i'm wasting my life and should find a way to secure my future doesn't even make me want to play anymore

Because, by then, you should have developed your own taste and realized that 90% of vidya doesn't fit so you only play games look good of which there aren't that many.

I stopped playing vidya in my late 20s and got back into it heavily at around 30. feels good not being a jaded faggot and actually enjoying games. it's a good time to be a jrpg chad in recent years

You might be right. Oldfag here and I'm still playing moded Total War games that realeased almost 20 years ago.

Thats not how you greentext. He said play different games. No era was specified. Stop being a little prissy bitch and implying youve played every single good videogame made before 2006

>>722922834
Also the younger ones. Thanks to food and water quality. Plus the crappy medicine the father and mother took. It's over.

>games so dreadfuly clunky only boomers could like
yeah no thanks.

>>722923176
"good" games are entirely subjective, unless you live and breathe by the words of journos
It is comforting to see you agree that around 2006 was the absolute cutoff of quality across the board

>>722923259
Correlation does not imply causation

>>722921626 (OP)
I'm 35 and I still enjoy all my hobbies. The problem is people don't take care of themselves so around that age their bodies start going to shit which also affects their mental state. Sleep at night, exercise, be financially stable, stop smoking weed and eating shit food. The world will be a better place for you.

Play indie/amateur games, give up on AAA dung and you will have fun again.
I suggest doing a next fest sweep >>>/v/nextfest, download as many demos as you think may be interesting and go through each one. Not a good a game? Who cares, uninstall and onto the next.

You will enjoy vidya again.

Problem is "work" isn't really just 8 hour shifts anymore in the west. It's up to one or two hours of commute. Add possible overtime and THAT'S what does people in.

>>722923464
you are no better than a dog if you let yourself be swayed by hormones you dumb nigger.

>>722921626 (OP)
I have my possible explanations.
Video games encompass a very wide range of different electronic entertainment. There is a certain tendency among men to find literary fiction less interesting as they get older, where they tend to read more non-fiction, philosophy, and such. This may explain why games heavily based on narrative begin to fail to entertain older people.

Many modern games are more interested in placing you as a supporting character in a grand narrative than simply offering mechanics and rules for you to interact with. If you've only played these things your whole life and are unfamiliar with other types of action-arcade-simulation focused games, then it's possible that you simply get tired of video games, just as you probably got tired of novels and shit.

are you going to take that risk with your children?

>>722921626 (OP)
You're subconsciously guilt-ridden because you feel like video games are a waste of time and you don't accomplish anything outside of them. When you balance things better and achieve the things you should in your day to day life, like doing chores or going on a walk outside occasionally, games will become fun again

>>722923113
Autism may be a stretch but a pregnant woman shouldn't take it even the manufacturer says you shouldn't and if you have to consult a doctor. A woman died because of her TDS and took tylenol and they had to deliver the prenatal baby in hopes they could save it's life while the woman was as good as dead for liver failure.

>>722923585
yes.

>>722923380
Why are you still chatting shit? Nobody said it isnt subjective, im simply saying go and pursue more quality games, how the fuck did you come to like the games you already like, this isnt industry analysis im trying to get you to find good videogames instead of complaining

>doesn't have a job that allows wfh

>>722921626 (OP)
Games are still fun, but there are other fun things too like electronics, cooking, exploring new tech, or working on side gigs. I don’t game for 8 hours straight anymore, sure, but I still enjoy it. Just a reminder always play on hard difficulty so the game has clearer objectives, and stick to games that align with your previous skills when you still have some free time

>>722921626 (OP)
so many games pressing in on you with constant fomo, fotm and progression systems that leave you behind if you're not keeping up. to me that has an effect of not even bothering anymore. at the same time I want new games to play rather than just endlessly replaying old titles.

JEEEEEESUS CHRIST LMAO

Games don't stop being fun for you suddenly at some particular age. In my case as I got older certain genres fell off for me. From childhood when I could play pretty much any video game, I first lost interest in FPS (in the early 2000s), then RTS (Starcraft was the last one I played), then 3D platformers (dropped completely by the late PS2 period), then sports games (the last one I bought was for PS3), then puzzle games (I think the last one I played as angry birds), then any kind of JRPG that is not turn based, then most WRPG/CRPGs that aren't party based, and so on. Nowadays I practically only play long story-heavy RPGs subject to certain dealbreakers and some grand strategy/4x games. But some people, the same age as me, never had that progression and can still play practically anything without getting bored. I envy them somewhat.

Difference is normal people want their children to have better lives than they did which means investing in them. Not to subsist on GIBME.

>>722921626 (OP)
??? I had more fun with games in my 30s after I got I job than 20 years pirating.

>>722921626 (OP)
They only stop feeling fun because your dopamine receptors are fried, take a break and pick up a new hobby. Come back in a few months or a year and you'll find them fun again.
>>722922682
You still have 50 years ahead of you, maybe 60 if you keep yourself mentally and physically in shape. Modern medicine is only getting better and increasing lifespan. Which is why they're trying their hardest to work everyone to death because they are greedy assholes who want it all to themselves.

Autism is barely real, just socialize your kids well (sadly that's too much for boomers)

>>722923731
happy birthday zoom- uh boome- zoo- FUCK!! whatever you are!!

well at least from the perspective of a 30something bum that's never had a job a day in his life, I can vouch that some new games can still be fun, though I'm more burned out now than I was years ago. That can happen without a job or otherwise life. It probably helps to be in physical shape which I am not. I think a bulk of the burnout comes from unrelated social crash-and-burn shit with a friend group and having picked up like 5 gachas at once. Fuck juggling gachas or playing gachas at all, I'd recommend only having one at a time tops, or having an actual job to pay for actual good shit and set your life on a better course.

i have passed this point. It's because all fiction entertainment and television and 90% of films are simply a childish perspective on humanity where everything is polished with positivity and optimism - history altho it's also subject to corruption by who's writing the history book it seems to have many many many more details on negative aspects of human behavior - once you learn the reality of this it's super hard to go back to the more childish entertainment fiction

ever notice that it's because they are forced by society to take older women as wives?
also it was lately revealed that vaccines DO cause autism
i mean ive heard what you said posited before but it seems it needs to be reassessed in light of recent finding and inclusion of significant age gaps between the parents of families used for data

>>722924532
Well a lot of the burnout comes from not having friends at least from personal experience that is where I felt it. But overtime it gets better and it's a lot better on your mental health.
>>722924582
Well fiction at one time use to tell compelling stories that mirrored non-fiction but somewhere along the lines it got blurred and everything is now childish and happy-go-lucky. Because people today can't separate fiction from reality.
