It's called retro gaming. /vr/ is a thing that exists.

i mean, i get that, but i feel like there's something wrong with me that i can't enjoy all this new shit that's being made. i want to, but i can't get into anything that feels too cinematic.

rephrasing the question:
how do i get into playing newer games without feeling like i'm just watching a movie with a short series of button inputs every 20 seconds?

Is that a benis I see?

don't play shitty big releases that try to be bland to appeal to a wider audience
get recommendations from people with similar tastes as you

i gave the witcher a try, a friend of mine suggested it to me because i had a good time with vampire: the masquerade a few years ago and it was supposedly a deep story-based game in the same vein. i got bored after a few hours because i didn't feel like anything i was doing had any impact, i was just going through dialogue and picking every option until i got to the one that triggered the next part of the conversation.

this game gave me creeps when I was playing it as a young lad

if you want something in the vein of older rpgs play the original deus ex or new vegas.

The terms "gamer", "nerd" and "geek" isnt what it once used to mean. You are a relic of the past.
