I can remember playing super mario bros (the OG one) on my console when i was a wee lad since then playing games never gave me any joy and felt like i was wasting time for nothing .
Edit : For clarification i do enjoy other mediums such as tv, movie, books and enjoy working out etc. its just gaming that i am burned out of .
For me, a lot of games just don’t grab my attention. I’m not interested in playing online on a team, especially with strangers. I definitely don’t want to wade through menus of crap that try to make me buy something.
I don’t want to have to invest hours into a game before I get anywhere either. I tried Zelda :TOTK recently, and I watched what felt like half an hour’s worth of cutscenes before I could do anything other than follow a predetermined path, and it just bored the crap out of me.
Everything seems to be sports, team multiplayer, or massively in depth stories now, with no room for quick, easy to play games that are not mobile games.
