| Mnementh said: 40+ years. Nice, you beat easily my 25+ years of gaming. And for DonFerrari: If I had to play old games and indies for the rest of my life I would lose only a few interesting games, and looking at my backlog I would be fully content with that. I have so many interesting DOS games yet to play, and as I never was a console player in the old days, so many games and game series I never even saw. And Indies producing some of the most interesting games these days. |
Yeah, I'm fairly old, 50 is not that far away at this point.
I've always kinda gravitated to mostly more niche genres (back in 80s graphic adventures, war strategies and flight (and sub) simulators, then in late 80s I got into CRPGs) and A and AA games rather than, what we now call, mainstream or mass market AAA games. Occasionally there was AAA game got all my attention and love (like Tomb Raider back in days), and there still are AAA games that I find worth the price and my time, it's just that they are extremely few and far between.
Luckily, there was indie explosion, which is slowly turning into steady A and AA growth, and at the same time there was boardgaming explosion, so I could actually never get to play everything I wanted even if AAA industry completely vanishes.
