That's neogaf all right
22 here.
Full time job 8h/days
University student i have to study 3/4 hours a day
I bought all consoles and gaming PC.
And i can barely finish one game in 2 months.
My Switch has 4 games, i didnt finish Zelda in 5 months, the other 3 games are still in Amazon package.
This generation has just been such a disappointment. Has there even been one defining game for Xbox One? Absolutely pathetic. Mass Effect was a complete joke. I literally have gone this entire year without buying another game.
just organize your time
we all have responsibilities and cannot play video games all day long like we used to
you can't play all the game, even if you have the money, you probably won't have the time
play what you think looks very interesting, don't just play every game that gets overhyped, especially in Gaf, those guys overhype some games that i would describe as the worst i have ever played
If only the disc hole wasn't so small.
I'm 30 and since about 18 I've made a choice not to make myself a "busy" life.
I work 8 hours Monday to Friday, very rarely do I accept overtime. I don't need the money, and I sure as hell dont owe the company anything.
I have a girlfriend and a couple of dogs, but no kids yet. I even told her before we got serious that I appreciate a quiet life without unnecessary stress and hoopla.
The result is I do have lots of time too chill and play games.
Is it the "correct" way to live as a 30 year old? I dunno.. Some might even call it lazy. But I sure as hell know I'm not gonna grow old to regret I worked away my life.
It is probably time to start thinking about kids though. 🤣
Edit: I want to add that already as a young teenager I've never had a real need to socialise. I'm pretty happy in my own company, and very rarely feel the need to see other people outside of work and the odd party.
You don't find time. You make time. Don't live at the mercy of a clock.But now, I'm older. And I'm not even that old, I'm 28. But finding time for video games, these things I truly love, between my responsibilities, it's fucking hard.
Drink lots of water before you go to bed, OP.
Or just accept that it takes longer to beat the game? Not sure why an adult should suddenly require the immediate gratification of beating a game, but I see this ironically childish sentiment a lot on GAF. I mean, do you feel the same way about long novels? Or TV shows (as opposed to films)? Just because I'm 32 years old, working full time, going to school full time, and dating, doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing GTA, Souls, RPGs, and the myriad other 100+ hour games I love. I've just come to terms with the fact that my latest playthrough of, say, MGSV, is going to take months instead of weeks. :'(As a kid: Man, this game is 100 hours long! I can't wait!
As an adult: Man, this game is 100 hours long... I think I'll pass.
If only the disc hole wasn't so small.
I think im just burnt out at this point
I love video games, I love reading about them, thinking about them, being excited and I end up buying a lot of them, but in the end I feel like under pressure to play them all and this is sometimes stealing the joy while playing a game, because I am already thinking about what to play next.
those two dont contradict each other"Fuck video games"

I love them so much, they have been a huge part of my life. I had a shitty childhood in a lot of ways, and my solice in video games has always been what pushed me through.
But now, I'm older. And I'm not even that old, I'm 28. But finding time for video games, these things I truly love, between my responsibilities, it's fucking hard.
This leads to me being pissed at myself for not playing certain games as much as I should. But even if I had the time, would they be as good?
I dunno, not even gonna lie at all, I'm drunk. But fuck man. I love video games so god damned much. I love you gaf.
