nah, I'm still your typical JRPG fanboy, though i've grown more fond of shooters

My tastes changed with the times. In the 80's as a kid, I was a huge Nintendo fan. As a pre-teen and teenager in the early to mid 90's, I was a huge Sega fan. Then, as a young adult it was Sony... then got into the first Xbox. So I really changed along with the times. But after last generation, when the whole industry started to get too populated with me-too games, I felt myself slowly losing interest. There's some awesome indie games, but as creative as they are, they're just digital files. It seems like the most creative games aren't physical anymore and that's taking a huge chunk of my interest away.

Unless VR starts to take off, I'll probably only be a retro/Nintendo gamer going forward. The industry is just getting too same-ish for me.

I have added a few different genre likes here and there but it was around my teens that I reached my maximum appreciation for certain games.

Open world games came a little after and I liked them well enough, but nothing really awe inducing. As time goes on the more I realize more of the stuff coming out remains the same and I crave for that lost time when Squaresoft reigned supreme as RPG king of the ring. I like rhyming, and I didn't want to throw off my timing.

I'll bite what SE is dishing out now, but that's only because they have by far the most unique and urgent games that need to be good coming out, and I think they know it this time. Also the most hyped and wanted games coming out for a decade plus in the making.

I loved FIFA on snes and Genesis. After that, it got boring. To me, it's like the equivalent of going to an Opera. 

I got addicted to the NBA 2K and NFL 2K during the Dreamcast years. I loved every game that came out for that thing. It was the best years of gaming for me. Now I can't stand playing sports games.

I feel your pain
