Will you always be a gamer?

jnskyliner34 · 03-10-2008, 04:58 AM

gaming is a hobby so i will always be a gamer. i stopped playing a few times before but i eventually missed it.

one reason why i stopped before was because my ps2 blew up. when i missed playing games, i bought this cheap pc i'm using now and is better than my ps2.

I personally do not play games very often anymore. I used to play games every second that I had the chance. Over the years I've found myself playing less and less. I have actually taking the time to think about this topic many times over the past year or so. I wondered if maybe games were becoming to cookie cutter and repetitive. I now feel that maybe it is just something that I'm growing out of.

On the flip side. You really start to miss something when you have no time for it. My wife and I had twin baby girls on December the 26th of 07. I no longer have time to play games period. I hardly get the chance to get on my PC even.

I don't game anymore... probably an hour a month maximum...

I sold my computer so now I'm using a $399 Acer laptop

I'm hoping I'll quit gaming and get on to bigger and better things.

Just bought rainbow six vegas 2, and its pretty bad ass. I got it for the xbox 360 as it feels and plays like a platform game to me. I've never really thought of any of the Tom Clancy games as PC games, they all seem like platform games to me, so I buy them for whatever platform I have.

Other than that, I occasionally still play CSS, but only the gun game mod, regular play is boring and people are dumb online. I am waiting for starcraft 2 and Fallout 3. Not even excited about GTA 4, it just seems like yet another rehash of what I have already played a million times before.

I am definitely a casual gamer now, and would never pick up a MMO or anything that required me to put in hours/week to play it and keep up with everyone.

On the flip side, I think I may go out and buy a new shotgun here pretty soon, the Tactical 500 is way fun in RSV2, I can only imagine its 10 times more fun to shoot in real life.
