There are very few modern games I have enjoyed it are even looking forward to. Am I just getting old? (beehaw.org)

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.

That’s a great point. Price is a big deal when there are so many great old games that are either super cheap or already in my library.

I’ve yet to play fallout new Vegas, resident evil revelations, disco Elysium despite having owned them for years.

I think once I get a steam deck, I’ll really push through my backlog.

Just gonna say real quick that Disco Elysium is a very special experience that I highly recommend. It hits you hard and can be very cathartic, especially if you have any personal experience with depression, addiction, failure, nostalgia, loss and/or regret.
