This is for the people who have become disenfranchised with the industry lately... I have a few questions for you.

- What has happened to the industry that makes you find other hobbies to occupy your time?

- How long has it been going on?

- What are a few of your favorite games?

- What do you want in your "perfect" video game? Innovative controls, story, gameplay length, etc.

- What other media do you enjoy? TV, film, literature, etc. If you want to mention some of your favorite books, movies, etc. even better.

- How old are you?

If your interest in videogames is as high as ever, please disregard this thread. I'm not interested in hearing how much you love everything. Thanks.

BTW, I'm being prompted to organize another editorial. That's what this is about. Apparently my GTA IV editorial grew new legs and I guess it's time for me to get off my rump and write something new. Since I missed my opportunity to give a beating to MGS4, I'm going for something different.

I have that "not so fresh" feeling. Is that close?

I give this thread a 9.7.

Does jumping from mostly PC gaming to the Wii count?

- What has happened to the industry that makes you find other hobbies to occupy your time?

Nothing. My interest remains high thanks to the advances in the technology. However i have began my film script lately, so my time is split between gaming and writing

- How long has it been going on?

Years

- What are a few of your favorite games?

Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty 4

- What do you want in your "perfect" video game? Innovative controls, story, gameplay length, etc.

Depends on the game. Metal Gear Solid could do with slightly cutting its cut scenes and providing more gameplay. Sports games are unlimited

- What other media do you enjoy? TV, film, literature, etc. If you want to mention some of your favorite books, movies, etc. Even better.

The film industry, as a media student my aim is to be a director and own that industry

- How old are you?

19

- What has happened to the industry that makes you find other hobbies to occupy your time?

I ain't to sure because i have done this before last year where i had a lull in my videogame interests.

EDIT: I now have a reason. There is a severe lack of decent JRPG's. (Thank you Montana for reminding me)

- How long has it been going on?

2 weeks

- What are a few of your favorite games?

MGS4, Onimusha (series), Final Fantasy (series).

- What do you want in your "perfect" video game? Innovative controls, story, gameplay length, etc.

I want an immersive story and very long gameplay length that isn't boring and yeah online is good but it is focussed on to much compared to the single player.

- What other media do you enjoy? TV, film, literature, etc. If you want to mention some of your favorite books, movies, etc. Even better.

Cloverfield and The Man from Earth are my 2 favourite films of all time. Scrubs, Friends, Family Guy, Robot Chicken and Futurama are my favourite TV shows. Ryan Adams, Beck, The Mountain Goats and many many more are my favourite bands/artists.

15, 16 in october.

ITALIC means old reason.

Rocketpig, you're just getting old. As for me, I'm young and spry and gaming couldn't be better. I'll answer your individual questions later when I've finished my breakfast.

- What has happened to the industry that makes you find other hobbies to occupy your time?

Nothing, although I do find that there's a severe lack of Japanese RPGs this generation.

- How long has it been going on?

Since the beginning? Gaming this generation has been great.

- What are a few of your favorite games?

This gen? GTA4, Assassin's Creed, House of the Dead, Bioshock, Virtua Fighter 5, Super Mario Galaxy, etc. (not counting handhelds)

- What do you want in your "perfect" video game? Innovative controls, story, gameplay length, etc.

I want a lot of freedom in the gameplay. This is why I'm such a big fan of the Sandbox genre, and why Assassin's Creed was such an enjoyable game to me. Plus, I want games to fit my needs as a perfectionist.

- What other media do you enjoy? TV, film, literature, etc. If you want to mention some of your favorite books, movies, etc. even better.

All of them. Read my profile grandpa.

My interest has gone up :) Resistance Fall of Man is what revived me.

Well I'm 25.. finished my study in Graphic Design 2 years ago.. Works at a Studio... as a freelancer so I also have some other side jobs besides the one at the Studio.. Got a girlfriend.. thinking about the future of our lifes.. hanging out with friends because you don't spend as much time with them as you were in school... I don't have the time anymore to game as much..

When I went to school I had a lot of time to game because school was too easy for me..
Games I really like are: BattleToads, SMB 3, Chrono Trigger, FFvii, FFviii, FFix, PokeMon Yellow, Sam and Max, Monkey Island Series, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Skies of Arcadia, Tales of Symphonia, Battlefield, Delta Force, Fzero GX, Metal Slug, Street Fighter Alpha 3..

but ever since the ps2 era I seem to game less and less.. Maybe the games are becoming too similiar & they are getting way too easy.. I don't find any challenge anymore in them.. I really like difficult games & story based games..

I really think most of the stories are already told in some game.. no new story to find out and to be amazed about.. Did like 3D shooters.. but found them too similiar the last few years.. the last one I really liked was FEAR... not a bad story and not too easy to beat... But even Beat-em ups (my favourite games) seem to be getting easier these days...

I still go to the movies on a regular basis.. enjoyed the Dark Knight, Ironman.. even Enchanted.. even those films had better stories then most of the games...

I still enjoy games.. but even my gf plays more games then I do.. I seem to lose the interest in gaming while I'm getting older..

Other things are more important then games in my life..

Im losing interest in some of my top games, maybe Im just too tierd to play. I know Im getting lazy.Im just not having fun since my friend moved away. Thats probably it.

Urge to play fading...
Fading...
