I can't say the same thing is happening to me. At one point a decade ago collection took over as my main focus but I stopped that cold turkey and sold 98% of my collection to return to the primary reason of my passion; playing and completing video games! That being said music, books are still in rotation but films have taken back seat in recent years.
I don't play video games for stories instead I prefer the challenge first. It helps that some of my least favorite genres are Adventure, Action-Adventure, Open-World /Sandbox, FPS, and modern Hack 'n slash Action-RPGs.
RPGs in general were always time consuming, even playing them as a kid. I would seldom complete them, and majority were abandoned leaving save states on my memory cards. These days I prioritize finishing (1) RPG before moving on to a second, or third one- no matter how long it takes to complete it.
The modern games you mentioned are part of the reason why I prefer old games they don't hold your hand and force you to get the knack of it. It's going great, I keep track of my progress over at HowLongToBeat. I've been playing all sorts of 'new' old games that were recently translated, or on systems I missed out playing back in the day, or unknown discoveries for example.
