30+ yo gamer thread are you playing anything? feeling tired yet?

Play loads of shit. Day of Infamy, Cities Skylines, DOOM.

Only problem is finding the time to play them. I get maybe 2 hours to myself every day

>>384288992
I spend more of my "gaming time" shit posting on 4chan than playing games.

Nothing holds my interest anymore. I play arma 3 sometimes but everything is just so shallow.

>>384288992

Currently playing Uncharted series and really enjoying it. About 5 hours in the the 2nd game.

Also playing Tales of Berseria and I'm fucking torn. I love the world and the characters are great but my god the combat is trash.

I'm almost 28 and I reinvigorated my passion by having a youtube channel.

Honestly, it helps stay motivated, because you're seeing actual growth on your youtube channel and it's not just wasting time playing vidja.

I'm 30. I started playing SFV and I pretty much enjoy it. I suck (best I've been is super silver) and I get mad but I've never RQ a game. I normally play ranked and the only times I haven't rematched the dude is when is sense way too much douchebaggery. I started trying a new character and went back to Ultra Bronze. I don't give a fuck, I just want to get better.

Also, I got Crash Bandicoot's trilogy. Never played one before, I just finished the first one, and I'm basically Bee-Having (wink, wink). It's not that hard. Super Meat Boy felt way more impossible than this.

I'm really looking forward to DragonBall FigtherZ, and that's it.

To me the appeal of videogames went down the toilet when my friends and I couldn't/didn't want to play the games I wanted. Once you pick your own shit and let everybody else be, things get better...

Friday the 13th. Its pretty fun

>>384289279
I'm 28 and started collecting retro games, build myself a restro game room in my house. I don't really have the time for video games to get me bored about them anymore,. so it's easy to enjoy a couple hours of The Legend Of Zelda on my comfy couch with my bare feet on my comfy rug everyday.

>>384288992
38 soon to be 39 year old gamer here.

I still enjoy fighting games, though I can't compete with the younger crowd anymore I still hold my own.

aside from fighting games, like my animes I tend to enjoy the simple ones more nowadays, simple beat em ups, shoot'em ups, games like the witcher with all its customization shit/potion making and what not turn me off, I would much rather play something simple like Senran Kagura with cute girls doing cute things and beat the shit out of opponents rather than play a long and complicated rpg.

that said, while I do enjoy lewd things, they are not my main reason to buy them, but I do like the slice of life aspects of stories in games and in animes more now. or throwback animes like made in the abyss that made me remember the good old times of anime

im 30. 3 years ago i moved and got a better paying job. before that i would pirate most games to try them and buy a few here and there i was hyped about. since then however i buy a ton of steam games when theyre on sale or in humble bundles. i have probably 800+ games and havent even touched 80% of them. now i work a lot and when i get home i find browsing memes/4chan/the internet in general more relaxing than playing a video game. tried to get back into TESO and FF14 with people i know IRL and it was boring. Everyone says Witcher 3 is great and its boring. Cant get past the 2nd town without falling asleep. Lately though, PUBG has been fun with 1-3 other people. The Necromancer coming out in diablo 3 has me playing that all night long, because im learning about the cube stuff and higher rifts drops a lot of gear/crafting shit. But its not actually fun mostly, its just a time sink. Sometimes a cool item will drop and force me to change my build and thinking about the build is more fun. Also, since getting back in /tg/ stuff, now that there are virtual/online options to play, just thinking about tabletop characters and shit is more fun. Looking forward to the Xcom2 expansion I guess?

indeed, but I still hold my own through sheer experience, been playing since SF2 at the arcades and played most fighting games too, so I'm not only experienced in Capcom games, Still like you said, they just have better reaction times now, what I have are : tricks and predictions

>playing video games in your 30s

Might as well just kill yourself at that point. Playing games past the age of 25 is a sign that you failed to develop properly as a human being.

>>384288992

31 here, i feel like i lost my passion for gaming, gaming was cool when japanese dev like konami and capcom ruled the scene but now every single one fucked up in some spectacular manner!

I see what games /v/ discuss and it's all stuff like persona 5 with it's horrible pacing, nier which doesn't interess me in the slightly after the first one but people like because... I guess yoko taro and/or platinum can do nothing wrong (and man have you seen 2B ass?) and zelda who is the most perfect game in the world because it's open world (which is hilarious to me because fans have defended the formula for 20 fucking years) and it doesn't fucking matter if there is a shitload of filler, it's just jealous sony fanboys

At this point i'd rather play a mix of retro games/board games and the occasional F2P game that doesn't jew the player too hard than buy a console

>>384291625
This. It's just sad if you haven't grown out of vidya at that point.

What's your channel, anon? Shill it to me.

32 years old, I think I'm about done with most games.

I simply cannot be arsed to give a single shit about story in a game. I've seen every permutation of every story trope 100 times by now, so any time some story / dialogue starts happening I'm just like

>YEAH. I. FUCKING. GET. IT. LET'S. GO.

I have a 2 year old daughter, and I have MAYBE 1 hour of free time a day after she goes to bed, so I want none of that time being wasted listening to whiny japanese school children try to get philosophical about how they're gonna hold onto hope in the bleakness of the world.

I told myself I was finished with vidya as my *primary* hobby when I finished dark souls 3 anyways.

I'm currently switching between playing Witcher 3, Tekken 7, PUBG and some VR games. It's impossible finding the time to finish all these 50 hour games though. I had to put the DLC for BB and DS3 on hold simply because I don't have the fucking time to finish most of the main campaign a second time before being able to play the goddamn new content.

31 this month, still love playing video games. The amount I play has slowed down while I commit more time to my home and wife, though.

Just platinumed Persona 5 and started Tales of Bersia. Gonna start playing Xenogears sometime this week again. Play lots of Overwatch and DotA 2 on nights when my crew can get on and shoot the shit / drink while playing.

Well, at least I did last year. Everyone got bored of the game and now they play PUBG but I haven't bought the game yet.

I agree though, singleplayer shit cannot hold my interest anymore. I bought Nier: A but I stopped playing before I even got the A ending.

this, which is why I concentrate more on shit like slice of life rather than stories in vydya, they just don't hold my interest, I just see characters doing some funny dumb shit have a chuckle and enjoy that more than the story on a video game, and I want simple gameplay that's challenging, meaning like for example an old game were you just had to shot but the game was hard, not having to go through tons of menus and remember stats and combine shit just to be a bit better, I prefer to brute force through a game since I enjoy the challenge anyway.

I like it, even though I have been playing this game for over 2 months.

Planning to give a try to Yakuza 0, Persona 5, Nioh and maybe Gravity Rush 2 and Nier Automata. Zelda seems nice as well, not sure if I should take a Switch for it tough.

Interested in MonHun World, Dragon Ball FighterZ since I didn't play a fighting game in a long time. And Dragon Quest XI too.

world of warcraft and hots with friends, I still play MMOs with friends from high school.
Weeb games and bloodborne on PS4.
Granblue, Kancolle, and Fire Emblem Heroes at work on my phone.

I don't really get that shit about getting slower as you age, I'm just as fast as I ever was at twitch games and RTSes, with calmer nerves too. Maybe a lifetime of games has kept my brain sharp.

biggest gripe is I work too much to be able to finish long games, I still haven't finished Persona 5.

Over the years I've slowly been moving onto another hobby and doing less and less gaming. I really only play Japanese niche games now. I can't even remember the last time I touched a AAA game. Other than the growing SJW and progressive "attitude", I find the industry basically the same. Gameplay hasn't really changed much and you can really only do so much in the story telling department. I found a new hobby in cars and I'm really enjoying it. I bought a beat up Miata as my first car to work on and I'm almost done with it, it's been a blast.

30y

I had fun with arkham knight. Pretty solid AAA game, I didnt know they still made decent ones of those. Battlefield used to be my main FPS but I can never find the same feeling I had from the days of BC2 which had a great community and gameplay. Ive played overwatch a lot just because i had no other interesting FPS, but it's a garbage game full of children and surprisingly women, something that is completely new to me.


I tried replaying Final Fantasy 7 - 8 - 9 - 10, big games from my childhood, but just get bored immediately
I guess the only games that still hold my interest are crpgs, 500h in PoE, and played through the shadowrun and expeditions games.

The only thing im looking forward to at this point is the next shadowrun game and deadfire. I remember when I was a kid playing on PSX and every single week had a new game coming out I was hype for.

The exact opposite happened to me. I used to value story over gameplay and now it's the other way around. Not playing braindead causal games it's what kept me interested in videogames.

Turning 33 tomorrow.
Currently looking for a game to play since it seems that butterlord is never going to come out in my lifetime. Played some xcom-2 last week.

Oh yeah, I'm here too. I used to love RPGs and shit but I can't do it anymore. I play a lot of shmups and pure action games.

34 here. I went through long periods where I would get so far into games and just drop them, and never go back, and I think it was directly related to the idea of having a "backlog". I've got literally hundreds of games to play, and even more to replay, but it was only when I said "fuck it, i'll just play what I feel like" that I got over it. Fuck having a backlog. Gaming isn't a job, unless you're a complete loser.

Grinding is the epitome of hardcore you fucking scrub, its the gaming equivalent of a triathlon. Only those with the endurance to put in the time and the skill to make best use of that time can be on top.

People who think doing some shitty raid with a guide they read 2 hours a week because of lockout timers are hardcore need to be killed.

My father, who died at the age of 64, spent his last night playing Wolfenstein: ET. He kept trying to get me to join his clan, but best I could do was join his Steam group.

If I pull that whole "tired" of it shit, I shame his memory.

>>384298312
I never inderstood people that force themselves to finish games. If I'm not in the mood for game x, I just pick up another game or do something else. Sometimes I go back after a while to finish the game, sometimes I don't.

Right now I'm only fucking around in Assetto Corsa, in particular the Formula 2 mod by rss at Targa Florio. Its an exciting drive that takes about half hour to do a lap.

Other games I'm thinking about starting up is Fire Pro Wrestling World... but its still recently released in EA so I'm taking a wait and see for now.

Also I'm always up for a dungeon crawler, but that game Grimoire is vaporware and will never come out.

Oh right, and I'll definitely play Elex when it comes out. I'm a sucker for Piranha Bytes games... even if they're pretty bad.

Thats a waste.

Just save up your money and one day buy a boat, and go on adventures. You want a trawler, look into it. Its the kind of boat they make fishing boats out of. You can have a comfy little cabin. They are not the fastest boat, but they are very efficient and reliable.

This is my dream.

Yes, due to stupid ass work sched of 9am -1pm then 5pm-9pm. And lately, the only games that interests me are remakes of the games I already played. I'm actually having fun with crash, getting all plat and all, also i'm more hyped playing ffXII and will probably end up playing it first than FFXV and world of FF despite having a copy of em day one.

The problem is you relied on your reflexes instead of your wit.

Ive always been shit at technical skill, but i basically used mind games and map knowledge and a sense of timing to always get the jump on people and shotgun them or whatever the games weapon of 'guarenteed close range winning if you can get to close range' was.

Experience means a lot. Sure you arent going to outplay some young savant but you will totally pubstomp all the shitters.

or emulate it on PC and get all the controllers and shit and get all that working on PC


either way all options seem really fucking tedious, i just want to play windwaker, and some other games

>>384299068
I don't know. Personally, I stopped playing games almost entirely from around when I was 21. I slowly got back into videogames around 28, and finally made a real comeback at the age of 30, when I spontaneously picked up a 3DS XL on my birthday.

>>384299328
This is because the whole 'dont live with your family' meme is literally propagated to do two things.
1. Inflate the real-estate market
2. Destroy western moral values

There is no reason not to live with your family unless you actually have a reason to be living somewhere else. It used to be common for 4 generations to live togeather under the same roof. The idea that you should all live in separate houses in the same fucking town just because would have seemed horribly wasteful and retarded 100 years ago.

30 here. Hooked up my Dreamcast so I've been playing that a lot lately. Had friends over on the weekend so we played various games on that. Also discovered my old original XBox live password so my copy of PSO on that system isn't absolutely useless, but I doubt any of my friends now will want to sit down to play that split screen.

When it comes to new stuff or single player games it's basically a coin toss if I'll actually get into it. The last two single-player games I actually dumped hours into were Dragons Dogma DA and Persona 5. I usually just stick to arcade games or old-school stuff. The games that are easy to hop in and out of.

>>384301840
>I've always wondered why people 50+ don't seem to play games

Because games were not really a thing back then.

People 50+ talked on the phone and watched tv. What are they still doing, to this day? The ones who were into computer games way back when it started are still playing games im sure.

You just keep on doing what it is you did. So kids these days will grow up and continue being insufferable faggots.

>>384301840

Because 50+ year olds didn't grow up with games

I'm only 25 and I'm tired of video games. I have 300 games in my backlog that I've purchased over the years through sales, bundles etc. But everytime I install one of them I get about an hour in and then exit the game never go back, even when I mean too.

League of Legends is the only game I still consistently put time into. Even though it leaves me frothing pissed off 50% of the time, there's just something so incredibly simple about it. I can get home from work, log-on and get into a game within 5 minutes with no bullshit. I can play two or three matches and then move on with my life for the day, more or less forgetting about the matches entirely within seconds of them ending. It feels good.

>>384302516
im sorry to say friend, you are a casul
you were likly always a casul you just may have been mislead into thinking you are hardcore
the difference between casul and hardest core is more about how you approach games and why you play them than what you are actually doing at any given moment.

30. Nothing I really want to play right now. Just completed Darkest Dungeon. Had been playing a lot of Rainbow Six Siege and Dawn of War 3 (even though it's shit) but I'm tired of them now and need something new.

Looking forward to the release of Divinity Original Sin 2 and We Happy Few. Also, apparently SuperGiant Games is putting out an RPG game called Pyre soon. Hopefully that'll be good, too.

I stopped playing games 2 years ago, Wolfenstein was the last one.
Instead i put all energy into art and learning even more so i can do the whole 3d modelling creation pipeline.
Learning Unreal Engine currently.

I learned so much by cutting down on vidya and dumb media consumption.
My desire to create is overruling my desire to play games.
I haven't even played Witcher 3 yet and i am a total fan of the whole series.
I will sooner or later, but i am not in a hurry.
Probably will play it when it runs in 4K and i have the hardware, maybe 2019 when Star Citizen Alpha arrives.

Casual vs hardcore is stupid, he just fell into a routine.

This. Mind games are your bread and butter when you lose your reflexes. Gotta know when to lock down a zone JUST long enough for a couple of butthurt enemies to try and team up on you, and then outflank them when they do.

I raped ass at Star Wars Battlefront like this. But then again it's an EA FPS so there were probably a lot of 10 year olds in there too.
