Are you guys gamers? Or did you quit video games?

I play R6 with my friends. If I wasn’t the highest rank on it, I don’t think I would play it. Too buggy

I haven't really played videogames alone in a while. I'm in uni, and I only game alone when I'm home on breaks and don't have much else to do (Bethesda RPGs have been great for this). At school the only game I play is super smash bros and only ever play it with my friends. Not planning on ever really gaming after I graduate in a few months

Thanks for the info breh

Quit. That shit is for fags. Morrowind, melee, and heroes III are the only acceptable games.

I play video games sometimes. Bought Overlord Fellowship of Evil and it's pretty meh so far. Started Metro 2033 and it is fun as hell. SMITE I spend most of my time playing though.
Is that shit still buggy? Ubisoft and their retarded codemonkeys. I remember the Hibana bug being supposedly unfixable due to their spaghetti code.

Every time I sit down to play them I have that constant feeling that my life is crumbling away from me and I should be doing something else.

Oldschool runescape homie

double dubs of truth

perhaps go outside

I still play vidya and keep up with some news but I've largely been removing myself from the whole "gamer" culture.

quit a while back.
the industry has moved in a really shitty direction, they don't make 'em like they used to.
wew, sound like a boomer.

Yep, ironically mostly playing older games on a 1.5 year old desktop.

Right now at Gothic 3 with community patch (makes the game good).

I don't have gf (24 KHV in chad body) or a job (waiting for call to start my internship) so it's one of main sources of relaxation besides books and going to caffe bars with friends.

Vidya is losing appeal more and more. I used to get excited as hell. Now I barely give a shit. Classic wow and Elder Scrolls 6 has my intention and money but I might be done after that, until VR gets where it needs to go

True they dont make em like modern warfare,tekken, halo, etcetera

I jumped back into dragon warrior monsters 2 last month, but i lost interest. Might play it again soon.

Smash bros, zelda and pokemon SS look fun on the switch but im a poorfag

yeah.... im thinking hes back.

I tapered down when I started college again. I still play Siege every week with my clan but when I'm playing by myself, I typically just play racing games. I used to buy every new release but I realized that I only put a few hours into them before booting up Forza.

I used to vidya a lot. Now I use my GPUs for deep learning pretty much 24/7 so that's slowly cut me off from playing

I figured out moderation for myself. No online games is probably a must for anyone. I only really play civ 6 on too hard of a difficulty for it to be fun. It's weird to not get next-turn-itis. I play maybe an hour tops at a time and definitely not every day. I totally waste time online still and am just as fucked as a vidiot though.

Tomorrow guise....

Been playing Demons Souls a lot. Best all other souls games except it. Play after working out and before bed. Really comfy. Love to imagine I’m in the afterlife when playing souls games.

This is me for the last few years. The last game I finished and enjoyed was the Witcher. I still buy games (even got a a really good pc) but always put it down after an hour and never return to them, with the expection of civ 6 which I randomly played quite a few hours last weekend. Don't know if games just suck these days or that I have grown out of them.

This. I now only play Metro Exodus because I've always liked the series. Still, I play it for like a little over an hour every few days at most.

cant but it yet because i have exams next week

I honestly don't know what happened or what changed but in 2018 I played a lot and it's weird the first or second day of 2019 I became super bored after spending hours and hours on the same game
I try to get into it every few weeks but I can only do this for 20 minutes at the most or I'm super fucking bored playing vidya.... something changed

Not anymore. I have like 3000 hours in Skyrim, a few thousand on GTA5, and hundreds on other games. I was hardcore NEET for about four years. Looked in a mirror one day, then looked outside, and the realization hit me that time had kept moving. I had nothing to show for it but a bunch of Steam achievements. Now I play like an hour a week if I have literally nothing else to do, but even then I try and fill it with something other than video games if possible.

Insurgency and dont starve are pretty cool. And super smash ofc

I only play OSRS nowadays.

Nope. I realized that video games are a waste of time and cant give you real long time happiness.

You grew up, user

I would be a gamer but there's nothing good anymore. FPS are supposed to be split screen so you can hang out with your friends. They make sure to block splitscreen now so you have to buy more consoles. In the end it just removed the "seeing your friends" aspect of videogames.

I play maybe one game a year if that.

I agree with this. The social side of video games has been ruined by online multiplayer. Used to be fun having a few drinks and playing goldeneye or something similar with friends.

I only play the best video games now. The top 5 or so of each console I own, then I get rid of it and try another console. Lately I've been working on Wii U. Finished Zelda BOTW, working on Bayonetta 2 now. I'll probably sell it after Xenoblade Chronicals X and Super Mario 3D World. I don't think there's anything else on there worth beating.

Jow Forums - Fitness

The more time I spend in the gym, in the library, on campus, working in a decent job, having a long term gf, playing with my maine coons and leonbergers, the less time I have for gaming.

I still love a good RTS on my laptop on a long train journey or flight, or if I get two hours in the week and am too tanked to do anything else. On holidays I try and play a decent single player like the witcher. I do miss my online bros though. I've met two of them and could be best mates if they lived closer. It's sad really as I lack the time to make or maintain friendships in real life.

I own XboneX and PS4
I've been in vacation in Mexico for a month and am unironically thinking about selling both of them as soon as I get home...
Life is short and I have a hard time controlling the time I spend playing vidya

I've tapered off to just playing some 2hu like 3 times a week in the evenings.

I rarely play video games anymore but I still spend too much time on the internet. I need to do no4chan

I also love Breath of the Wild

I cannot stop playing Dota for the life of me

Playing competitive games seriously is good for your brain. I play mainly competitive games like CS:GO, Overwatch, League and now Fortnite. Of course sports are always superior since they have the competitive part + the exercise.

Traded my pc for a bench set. It got me a gf. Only downsite is my free time is just wasted on my phone.

i literally replaced everything that I used to enjoy with Jow Forums and i hate myself for it, this website is a fucking curse but i can't leave for some reason, it is unironically harder to quit than coke or booze for me

nah man, as you mature you just dont care for every game that comes out. there are a few that stand out to me and i will play because they appeal to me like Kingdom hearts, Skyrim, and i have memories from young. but nowadays Its just a waste of time, much rather surf youtube for hours instead, real doomer shit

still close to friends who nerd out and play, the only reason i havent cut them off it because we do other creative and actually useful shit together

hell yea

Still gaming at 30. Look good, good job, hot gf. She studies alot right now so it gives me something to do during that.

>Mfw playing wow 3s arena and 26th rated in US

It's actually really fun right now to watch top rated players streams we just beat and hearing them reeeeeee

i just finished a 48-hour total playtime run of Civ4/all expansions with the Rise of Mankind mod, small world, as the Romans, at weak-ass Prince level. Had a nice start and finally am starting to realize the benefits of razing cities in order to retain cultural dominance. They can't rise up against you if they're exterminated!

I expanded over my whole continent and wiped out everyone else on it, putting down numerous revolutions rather brutally as an religiously intolerant bureaucratic monarchy. Eventually a smaller civilization, the Persians, on another smaller continent got a significant tech edge due to running Republic.

Eventually I switched to a secular, parliamentary Federation and, once I closed the naval tech gap, took their outlying islands. But their doomstacks were ridiculous: there was an army of 135 Main Battle Tank units, plus other auxiliaries, in their main city ready to respond via rail to any invasion.

But they never developed an air force, and never developed nukes. Turns out two A-bombs or tac-nukes in a single tile kills every single unit there, regardless of numbers.

No one else developed nukes in that game; I ended up nuking everyone twice and taking their cities and razing them, pretty much. Vassalized the remnants and called it a day. It'll take a long time to clean up the fallout, but completely worth it.

Yes but since I started facing my issues, I feel the need to play less and less. It's probably been more than a week since I've played and it was because I didn't crave it, not because I consciously chose not to heed the craving

i fucking hate it but i play because escapism hard
i lost my siblingi and lost chance in 2 apprentices and only when i play i don t think about it

I cut down tremendously.

The time requirements to do a full playthrough of most good games are too much when you have the other components of life to max out.

I play maybe two games a year now.

Right now I am playing Doom (2016) and waiting on Halo Reach to come to PC (I have never played a Halo game past Halo 2). On the side, I was always heavily invested in this mmorpg game called Lineage 2.

I have work, I lift, I go to MT classes and also I go on dates with my fiance. So no, I don't play video games anymore.

I play video games, been awhile since I’ve had one I’ve been really hyped for. I also write when I can and I collect Digimon merch, especially the cards

I've stopped playing games and now I do art for an extra 4 hours a day. It's fucking amazing

I play Path of Exile every night

Play vidya when your responsibilities have been taken care of. Who gives a shit if you do or don't. Vidya isn't the issue. Failing to prioritize is.

Get out of here SenpaiWrongHole.

Nope. Vidya is a complete waste of time. Uninstalled all vidya related shit off my PC 3 years ago and haven’t looked back.

Nah online multiplayer and discord help me stay in contact with my Bros across the country

I never deliberately quit. I just had less and less time for them.

I only play a couple video games. Most games just dont hold my attention like they used to. I'm really just waiting on CyberPunk 2077. Or the steam sale to get the resident evil remakes.

So many games just feel like products to me recently and I'm having a hard time kicking this pretentious mindset- I pretty much just play the occasional indie game, but the line between 'worth playing since it's a passion project' and 'a sedative for a few hours' is so thin

I guess I still am, although I rarely play. Only games that held my interest in the last year were dusk and subnautica. Right now I’m emulating all the old pc rom games that I had as a kid.
Pic related: the only game i cant find on any torrent site that looks safe.

Just imagine actual vr porn

wish I had an ps4 just for this desu

No time to waste on fantasy worlds and false/virtual reality ever since I got married and started a family.

Not as often anymore, I play music (guitar, sing). Want to learn piano as well. Games are nice when want to relax or sick

Based and Chiefpilled.

Legit question, fellow father here.

What do you do for fun after the kids go to bed? Cause if you watch TV it's an equal waste.

Apex legends gang reporting

I used to play a lot back in elementary and high school. At college I had to study so I reduced a little. Now, working and living in another country, I cannot even imagine playing vidya anymore. Talk about irony, back when I was playing so much I had a potato PC, now I have a 2000 euro rig that I barely even use, because I see no point in it anymore.

But seriuosly. Video games mess your brain up big time. Only now, being on my own, I see why you need to socialize and make friends with people (I used to be a major autist btw). They also mess up the way you percieve the world. So if you're playing, drop it right away, start sorting your life out now when you're young, it's only going to get harder and harder. I'm 25 and I think I caught the last train here

I have a bunch of different systems including a decent snes collection that's worth some money. I finally got sick of Smash ultimate now I've been thinking of playing Yakima 0 since I keep hearing good things. I think tv and movies are beyond shit now and are much more of a waste of time than games. I also prefer interactive entertainment desu.

I play JRPGS because I lift for Waifus. Fuck real Women.

That’s a fuck load of gaming user, but I’m glad to hear that you’ve got yourself on track

Fuck your wife

Season 3 gladiator here. Idk how much of a vet you were, but arena junkies was basically a body building website at a point

I unironically quit games so I could start buying more quark

Just buy it on PC (preferably) or Xbone?

Where my MKX bois at??
I only play mkx with my friends once or twice a week, just for shits and giggles before we go out

I sold my last console back in December (although I still do have my DS somewhere around the house I haven't touched in eons). Vidya just isn't what it used to be. It was thrilling when I was in middle/high school, but I find my IRL hobbies more fulfilling now. Newer games just lack novelty and excitement, too much "point n' shoot" and grinding.

It just doesn't feel like many good vidya came out the past year. It's all rehashes and cashing in on old stuff. Can't wait for the industry to crash again so we can get some innovation. Older vidya still hold up well though although I'm not into /vg/ tier 70s-early 90s retro
Also fuck off frogposter

Not playing =/= being adult.

Don't even try to compare being an adult by being like your parents. Games came out so late that the people born between 1950-60 (some of you guys' parents, dunno about zoomers) could not all start it as a hobby as easily as the gen x and later.
Playing games = past time hobby, nothing worse. Being addicted to a hobby = another discussion.

Only play Rising Storm 2 Vietnam for those PTSD feels

I haven't really quit them necessarily, but I also don't play during the week because it's easy to lose track of time and miss some sleep, and on the weekends I only play if I have nothing better to do.

Pretty much this. Games are getting too large to fucking keep up with these days.

during my tweens and teens i'd play between 8-16 hours a day, at 17 i started lifting and doing a bit of sports so it went down and i basically stopped pnce i went into med school

now i get maybe 1 hour of really free time a day except for lifting/doing sports and i feel better when i spend it with cooking/playing piano/reading or just shitposting, rather than playing

only during winter and summer breaks i play whatever i feel like, usually not more than 3 hours at once

I never quit and I never will. But I am wanting to transcend the "fat gamer" stereotype, which is why I got Jow Forums.
