The only thing that have change is that now it takes me a week or two to beat a 8 hour game where as before, I used to beat those in two days.

I no longer care much for racing games, I used to love them back on the PS1 and PS2 eras. That's the only thing I can think of now, I've liked shooters and JRPGs pretty much since I started gaming.

Not really. The platforming genre is still my favorite, I still like RPGs and adventure games, still kinda like shooters and still can't stand sports games.

Could literally copy and paste this and it would work for me. Except for smoking more I smoke less now. 

Yes, i have gotten more impatient.

i'm 2 weeks out from having my second kid and i can feel my gaming habits change a lot.

my 2 year old needs a lot more attention than he did as an infant. getting ready for the next infant takes up what remaining free time i used to have.

i'm basically a filthy casual now. i mostly just play rocket league at home and whatever is on vita on my commute to work. story games are hard to play. i'm playing uncharted but it's been weeks now and i'm still only on chapter 8.

- I used to play like an addict. A full time job has dealt that tendency a mortal blow.
- I used to feel a strange need to have at least one racing game & fighting game per console. I now recognize I put nowhere near enough time in either genre to make it worth a purchase.
- I used to borrow and rent games like all the time, now I buy (or PS+) only.
- I used to be a JRPG fiend, playing anything and everything I could get my hands on. Something happened - dunno what - that broke this in 6th gen. Probably Suikoden 4.
- I used to laugh trophies off, but I collect them for fun now.
- I used to like arcade games, but have grown to despise quarter munchers.
- Oh yeah, I used to be a Nintendo / Sega guy, am now a Sony guy.

The only thing that really changed with me. Is the amount of time I put into games. Because I had lots of time as a kid. But the rest of the stuff hasn't. I never got every single major game, for a system. Nor did I want every console. I just picked whatever I liked. And that was it. I'd skip a lot of big games all the time. I never got Super Metroid, when I had my SNES. As an example.

I think I had some changes, When I was young, I loved mechanical/gameplay heavy games like Mario, Metroid and racing games like Gran Turismo above everything, the older I got the more I started to love Exploration games, like The Witcher, Dragon Age, The Legend of Zelda among others.

Recently, when I have entered my 30's I have noticed altough I still love games like Bloodborne, which has exploration and mechanical/skill based gameplay overall I seem to apricate story, the setting of a game and the overall package way more.

Also one of the biggest shifts when I grew older has been that I am not fixated about "completing" games any more or getting objectives- or achievements, its all about the fun and anything that strays away from that will just never happen. This is something I have seen with a lot of my friends that still play games too!

Younger, I was able to play the day away. Nowadays, playing too long does not make me feel very productive.
