I really got into games around the time of the Genesis. For me, it was easier to get into games back then and almost every game that I owned, I really enjoyed and could play over and over again. I rented alot of games that I thought were bad so I wasn't too much of "kids like anything kid".
Nowadays, I don't enjoy gaming as much. The genres that i really loved are pretty much dead. Plus, i'm older and few games are actually mature despite being M-rated. For the games that I really love, I have just as much fun now as I did back then. But back then it was like 100% of the games that I owned. Now its maybe like 20% of the games that I own. But I paid for all of these games so it upsets me. I feel like none of my metrics have changed, but the games just aren't doing it for me anymore.
But maybe i'm like the old man gamer and the industry changed around me and I refused to go with the times. My brother plays games and he's like 9. He really likes it. Although I'll say this... he has like 20+ games and doesn't really like playing any of them once he gets a new one.
New games are like crack. They get you really high but it only lasts 5 minutes then you need to find something else. Maybe its a business move though. If you can keep the customers coming back every few weeks at $60 a head, thats way better than selling a product for $60 that keeps em high for months.
