When I turned 237.

29 here and I'm struggling to get through games anymore.

I think I am be just about done for bros.
>>
>>342653706
I haven't

At 31 I haven't grown out of them, but I have stopped playing most genres. When I was younger I could play pretty much anything.

Now I only like RPGs with a lengthy story to keep me interested. Also I still sometimes play Madden with friends.

20. Beat GTA V and realized that games just were not as entertaining as they used to be. I don't look forward to games anymore because I know they will be a let down. I just use them to pass the time now.

21 here, used to play pretty much anything, now only a few games keep me engaged to the end.
Still play the hell out of rocket league tho

I think I was around 20 when I started to realize video games were shit.
Now that I'm an adult I realize they're not just shit, but they're actually extremely damaging.
Think about it, have you ever noticed that kids started getting shittier ever since video games and internet became popular?
And it's not just children, most gamers are just fucking depressing. They're bitter, angry, and live in self-loathing.
I honestly feel like we need to put a stop to this and just finally let video games be banned.

What's Trumps policy on video games and internet censorship? Maybe we can start a petition.

Anon, look at /v/. And I mean really fucking look at it.
Do these people look happy? No they fucking don't. They're chained down by an addiction.
Much like drugs and alcohol we need to crack down on video games. Maybe not a full-blown ban yet, but some sort of heavy regulation. Maybe make microsoft and sony shut down their servers every night or something.

I think we SHOULD bring back prohibition.
We have a much more competent police force that could easily crack down on anyone making homebrew alcohol. In fact I'm sure our modern day police force could easily end the war on drugs. It's a shame our liberal hippy overlords wont fucking let us.

Crack down on all degenerate and addictive nonsense.

The problem is that vidya isn't the issue, escapism is. Remove vidya, kids get chained by anime, remove anime, kids get chained by d&d, shit novels, drugs and so on. People have shitty life and until their real life becomes more interesting than a fake one, people will always choose the fake one, especially if there is no pressure on them.

That's why isekai genre is getting so strong lately.

Not him but he's sort of right. There's more alcoholics now than ever before in history. A prohobition wouldn't be too bad for the US.

well then ban anime, ban DnD, ban novels, ban drugs.
I'm not sure if you noticed but we're not doing so hot. We need to put all of our resources into leaving the planet and finding an alternative way of living. We can't do that when we spend all of our money supporting fat nerds, drug addicts, alcoholics, etc.

>most gamers are just fucking depressing. They're bitter, angry, and live in self-loathing
Most gamers over 18 are functioning adults, they just have pleb taste in vidya. You only think this because you browse a board where everyone is, ironically or not, vitriolic and bitter.

>>342653706
I´m 25 and I haven´t cared about the vidya for a couple years. The new Zelda gameplay made me feel funny inside though.

>>342653706
pretty much only play fighting games now.

even then it's not too often, just once a week or so with my buds.

nothing else holds my interest.

More like what age did you grow out of 4chan amirite or am I right?
Real talk though this place is really something else. Stay here for too long and you become unable to function on normal forums or even places that make use of your irl identity tied to every single one of your posts ever made. It scares me some nights.
>>
>>342658367
>I'm not sure if you noticed but we're not doing so hot
You only believe this because you watch/read news and get swept up sensationalist bait stories. Society is improving nearly everywhere in nearly every metric and has been for hundreds of years.
>We need to put all of our resources into leaving the planet
why tho

Probably video games fucked him up into this way of thinking. Fantasy has a tendency to screw with the youth of today and their way of thinking in regards to the collective future of humanity prolonged survival. AKA he needs to get off the internet and stop playing vidya for a while.

Started really happening around 20-21.
I was aware it would be best for me to quit from around 18.
The main thing keeping me connected to them were friends who liked vidya and big waits like FF XV.
Now most of those friends are gone and the things my adolescent self waited for are here and/or disappointing, so I'm almost ready to move on.

Back in 2004 when I joined 4chan. You faggots ruined video games for me

you've only just begun child. Extended duration makes you unable to function in normal society. Those years of pretending are going to become harder and harder. And remember you're here forever

Around 21, I play a game then about 80% in the campaign even if it's 8 hours long I'll get bored then just watch a playthrough and skip through it. Looked at the steam sale and got bored, spent $50 on cosmetcis and bought Legion instead, I dont even llike WoW anymore, I just randomly pvp if I sub for a month

>>342657054
We may as well stay, all gonna die eventually anyway.

I hope I get drafted for WWIII
>>
I noticed a dwindle when I was about 16 but I could still have fun on rare occasions. Now I'm 23 and don't even care to play often. Although I'm really looking forward to Zero Time Dilemma, but once I finish that my gaming life will be hollow again aside from multiplayer every now and then.
why oh why did i constantly submit and build a massive backlog ;_;

My compulsive desire to play games for hours on end stopped a couple years into college, when I started getting actual responsibilities. After that I stopped giving a fuck about my "back log", gaming stopped being a daily activity and was reserved mostly for weekends, I only ever got hyped for one or two games a year (current one is Bannerlord holy shit I want it), and I haven't done anything resembling a marathon in a long time.

But instead of falling for the LE TIRED GAMER GUYS LET'S CIRCLEJERK ABOUT HOW DEPRESSED WE ARE meme I just realized that I no longer had endless free-time.

Judging by the ages in this thread, most people here went through what I did except they fell for the meme, and decided that because they no longer had the desire/ability to play as much as they used to, they were "growing out" of vidya.
>>
>>342661216
Also on the same boat. I never got tired of games. I just had no more time as I did back then.
