Has your taste in gaming changed throughout the years?

I still play games from most genres to some decree at least, but I guess my taste in games has changed somewhat over the years. There was a point sometime during the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era when I began to grow tired of most FPS games. I still played some of them at that point, but much less than I used to, and when I did it was mostly offline multiplayer with friends.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that I really don't care about online multiplayer in most games. I find them to be mostly boring at best and often downright annoying and frustrating at worst. To me, playing online isn't much different from playing against bots. You're just playing against a faceless, voiceless caricatures pretending to be actual people.

During the last roughly ten years or so, I've bought exactly one FPS game for myself, Killzone 2, and it took me ages to finish it because I just couldn't get invested in it. The few other FPS's I've played are pretty much the same.
