What happened to me? I can no longer enjoy games the way I once did.

Everytime I play a game now, I just think in Gamer language such as maximizing DPS, skipping dialogue for objectives, and realizing halfway through the game that there probably wont be any replayability value. I've been reduced to the occasional sports mutliplayer games.

There was a time where I could become engrossed in a story, in a world. I felt alive in it and I didn't just see the underlying fetch quest or grind requirement to beat X.

Any game I play this happens. Persona 5, Last of Us, Skyrim, Fallout, Witcher, Nier.

Rather than getting deep into character progression, such as training stats like SPD, Accuracy, Magic, etc to become well rounded. I know in my heart now that its all irrelevant in comparison to just maxizing STR and DEX, or just one stat.

Bosses are just remembering animations.

Stories generally run a predictable route

and its hard for me to get into any new games. Each one eventually falls into a trope I've seen before. And older games can't rekindle the same fire I had.

The days of staying up all night leveling up
Or spending all night shooting with my friends in coop.

Putting a blanket on my gamecube if my mom walked in on me playing Sonic Adventure 2 I could just turn off the TV and pretend to sleep without any visible Gamecube light.

We cherish these moments until they are gone. I remember the first time I killed someone in Fallout 3 that was an NPC, or playing GTA vice city. GIVE ME THAT EMOTION AGAIN PLEASE
