i use to LOVE gamming what happened

What happened? you grew up lol.

It's the effect that happens to 99% of the people, what we remember in our childhood is what we most dear. Most of teenagers now will not touch anything before PS360 because they will simply think it looks ugly and very old for the simple reason they didn't grew up with it. Smartphones are the same. They weren't a reality until I already finished high school, and I only got one 3-4 years later, so nowadays I don't care about them. I usually see most of people in subway and bus looking at the phone's screen while I look at them or I just don't do anything, close my eyes and relax, or just see the landscape if able.

From my experience when I feel like I'm not feeling it anymore in gaming, I just take a breather and look back on why I enjoyed it and try out say a game that is something I haven't experienced like and learn new systems that make me realize why I enjoyed it once again. Replaying old classics you like can help as well. Ofc though there's the chance that times have changed and your interests have changed too since you have grown up between that time.

Just know you'll always be a gamer deep down, all those games you have played from your youth won't be forgotten about as long as you are alive.

Dude this is video games, not toy car!!! lol

Some people have no sense of nostalgia or appreciating value of anything in the context of the idea because their brain cannot work without comparing stuff therefore those people leave "bad toys" when they find "better ones" or they will dislike new ones because they will be stubborn on old toys.

Some people are nostalgic so they cannot give on on their toys. That's because their brain cannot let go of the elements from the version of life they started to get to know the first time, so for a sense of familiary their brain prefer to distort the current reality to make the person stuck in past.

For example I'm neither of these people. I still love me old games I enjoyed and it doesn't prevent me from liking new games whatsoever.

So I may have gave up on me toy guns because real guns are way more fun!!! Yet I still play me Duck Hunt on NES via my Nintendo Zapper and when I get bored I still play Rage 2 go figure lolol.

I'm a type of guy who can enjoy horse riding still to this day yet I would love me cyberpunk car that can fly too. What is "better" matters but for me all these stuff have their own taste worthy to still taste. I cannot live my live without being exposed to great variety of things!!!

Totally agree. Being stuck in the past is sometimes good but not for everything. The past is the past, and if you want to recover it you have to pay a lot of money to artificially keep living in it, so it's a no-no for a peasant like me :(

So lucky that I also like new games, but I usually dislike them when they are remakes of games that I liked how they were and now they changed them a lot to fit with younger audiences. There are a few exceptions though :).

Yeah. That's why to buy a TARDIS I bought dogs and my wife hate me for it way more than I turn our conversations into a meme lolol:

Yeah but thankfully not all remakes are bad. For example me like me Crisis Core remake but worst remake I ever saw was Resident Evil 3 Remake.

Remakes were always a thing and sometimes they ruined the original or improved it which I mean objectively because some cuts tons of content while some just stick to 1:1, but it's ideal when they add content instead of cutting any.

In this context why current video game industry bad is partly because they focus on remakes too much but worst is they are only after spamming shitty remakes so "remake" idea itself is not bad for me. There was always shitty games, remakes were common yet they intentionally develop shitty games. Relatively we are too exposed to shitty games since 2016. I know golden age of video gaming of 2004-2005 will never come back but damn things are not even how it was around NES-Sega Genesis era. And now AIs want to be implement and games are more like Netflix rubbish, dude I saw many states of how the industry changed but I sticked but especially around 2020 I decided gaming is fundamentally shit anymore, even indie industry ruined because of wankers lolol.
