I feel weird saying this, but when it comes to gaming, I feel that at age 18, I am somewhat of a late bloomer with the whole industry in general. Yea, I had a Nintendo, then an N64, then a PS2, but I never really put THAT much time into any of these consoles, nor did I get super excited for any games. I did put a lottttttt of hours into Warcraft 3, but I still just wasn't really somebody who got all excited about gaming, and also moved towards League of Legends once that came out.
Several years ago, my dad went out and bought a psp that we could share, and while I played it a bunch right away, it wound up sitting in a room collecting dust for a majority of its time.
Last Summer, I finally went out and bought a PS3, and while I still haven't invested that terribly much into it (not to mention Starcraft 2 managed to suck me back towards computer gaming for another month and a half), I feel that my console gaming life is just starting. I don't want to be spending too much on gaming, and while I have, and have invested a lot of my time into MW2 (campaign 2 times through as well), I have also played and beat LBP, own Infamous (currently borrowing it to a relative, so unable to play it), and have God of War Collection being shipped to me.
I also purchased Final Fantasy IX as a PSN classic as I have seen over and over it is supposed to be one of the best in the series (I'm currently 6 hours into this). I have about 15 games that are on a list that I really want to play through, not to mention tons of others that I think would be neat to start playing.
On top of this all happening, I just started playing PSP again. I really don't know what led to this whole change in my gaming life (shift from light console gamer/moderate PC gamer to light PC gamer/moderate console gamer), but it is so amazing to get this excited about games! I truly do wish that I had a backwards compatible PS3 since I traded in my PS2 for the PS3, and am unable to play so many of the amazing games that came out for that (however there are Collections coming out). It is also great that I am able to buy PS1 Classics as I am able to enjoy the amazing games that came out that I've never been able to experience before.
So after this long rant, I really don't think this will be my last generation, and in all honestly, it is my "first" generation in a sense...(I finally started caring about gaming this generation). This isn't to say, however, that I will buy a PS4 and PSP2 immediately when they come out, as I really just don't have the money, not to mention I don't want to miss out on the amazing titles out, and coming out for PS3.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
