Forum Game What game genre do you feel you enjoy less and less as you get older?

[Janunba88]

For me, there are two: turn-based RPGs and a bit of Fighting games. The first is due to time constraints and lack of patience; after all, like everyone else, I have more and more priorities as I get older. The second is partial, but I'd say it's because of the commands/combos, similar to RPGs. I don't have the patience for memorizing combos or executing complex commands, but I still enjoy playing fighting games casually.

Despite being a huge Fighting Game guy, I feel I spend less and less time with new one's as I get older. I still enjoy the classic's immensely and play them on Fightcade a lot, but having to keep up with season passes and purchase new characters regularly makes me less interested in modern fighters. You need to be able to lab new characters to remain competitive, but as a result Fighting Games have slowly become one of the most expensive genre's to keep up with, and I'd rather just stick with 3rd Strike and Garou at this point.

I don't have a genre, as a game can still hook me if it hits just right.
The thing I find I enjoy less and less is the overall output of Nintendo. As a kid, sure, give me all of that stuff I can get my hands on. But nowadays, give me Animal Crossing and maybe Wario Ware, and the rest of it I don't mind missing. Will it be well-made? Absolutely. But would I rather spend my time elsewhere? Also absolutely.

Monster catcher games like Pokemon I’ve slowly lost interest in, but Digimon’s been hooking me recently… so maybe not

Graphic adventures.

I get maybe two hours of playing time a week nowadays and I don't want to spend them trying to solve random puzzles made specifically to stump you.

I'd much rather play a shooter or sandbox.
