Title mostly describes how I’m feeling now.
When I was younger, my main worry when deciding what game to buy and play next was that the game wouldn’t be able to keep me entertained until I can buy another game.
Now I have a backlog of almost 100 games that I own and haven’t played yet (although some come from bundles, not all are worth playing). My new concern when I’m playing a game is whether or not the time I put into the game is well spent.
I used to really like the idea of games where it would take me 100s of hours to get to 100% completion, but now I tend to almost avoid playing them entirely even if I know I don’t care about completion anymore.
I don’t think I’m alone in this, but what I’m really wondering is if this is a result of getting older? Or is it because the gaming space itself has changed?
The money-saving depends on your ability to not buy more games, though. This doesn’t seem to be actually doable for most people. For me it isn’t because I find I need variety in my games or else I lose interest in the medium altogether.
There can definitely be a magic in living in a good game, though.
I mean, I don’t know about you guys but I play one game at a time, so right now I’m spending no other money cos I’m in the middle of Zelda TotK.
