It seems that I am less and less interested in new games and am happier playing older games on emulators. I still game a decent amount, but I don’t even watch gaming news for new stuff.
I loved Skyrim, but I am not even interested in reading about starfield. It just seems that it’s going to be an extremely involved game. But at the same time I’d have no problem playing through Skyrim again and to be fair I just played through tears of the kingdom.
Anyone else have this problem as they are getting older? I’m in my mid 30s btw.
IDK, I always had a very specific taste in games focused more on JRPGs, 3D mascot platformers, and puzzles. and those niches haven’t exactly grown over the decade. So I never really got a chance to feel fatigued in the AAA nor indie spaces because that niche is more in. On the contrary, the platformers seemed to be nearly dead until Crash gave the genre a resurgence.
I’m not as excited for FF16 as I am 15 but that may simply be because of themes (I’m still buying day one tho). FF15 was this modern/steampunk feel mixed with high fantasy and I prefer that over the seemingly medieval/low fantasy feel. But the gap between those games were 7 years (or rather, 5 years if you count FF7R) so I wouldn’t say I’m fatigued of big budget JRPGs… because there aren’t that many.
Starfield… well, I’m just glad we’re getting closer to Fallout 5 :). Never could get really into Elder Scrolls. I’ll probably inevitably try out Starfield, but it’s not a high priority.
