Anyone else like me and thinking that maybe they're getting a bit old for gaming, it's not that I think it's childish or immature i'm just starting to loose intrest. A few years ago I would be able to sit and spend a whole night playing through games, nowadays at most I play for an hour then get bored and go out.
They just don't seem to be as intresting as they where a few years ago, maybe it's that the standard of the games is slipping and they just don't hold the longetivity of older games, games such as Metal Gear Solid used to keep me glued to the screen until i'd completed it or at least got to a stage when I thought "oh crap it's 2am and can't get any further", but nowadays I just can't stick with games, I recently came into possesion of a copy of Devil May Cry, very nice game it is to, but for some reason it just doesn't get me gripped like a game like this should, if I find myself getting stuck in it, I don't have the will power to work out what I have to do next, I just get bored and turn my PS2 off.
I had the same problem with Silent Hill 2, I got stuck and I haven't touched the game since, the only game that has really got me addicted is GTA3 but that didn't last long, the only reason enjoyed it was cause there was no real set path to go down, the majority of the time I just spent driving around running people over.
I've come to the conclusion that either I am growing out of games or the Industry hasn't changed enough in the last few years, we really need something new, i'm fed up with all these generic racing games and Platform games, we need a new genre something that will really wake me go WOW I wanna play that. Unfortunately the closest thing we get to originality nowadays is Miyamoto and his set of fluffy creatures, surely Miyamoto should realise that he is allowed to make at least one adult orientated game.
Anyway enough of my rambling.
