Poll: Will you outgrow games?

[Spicy meatball]

The say that the best things in life never last. They also say that games are for those without social lives. All things considered, will you continue to play till your old and frail or will you grow out the phase with your teen years.

 

[lostclause]

I'm still waiting until I older to fully enjoy gaming. Damn age restrictions, I want to get the darkness.
But no, I doubt I'll ever fully get out of it. Maye scale it back in later years. Either that or introduce my kids to it as a pretext.

 

[dennyaaa]

Games is a lifestyle... roll with it or get out of the way

 

[KarumaK]

No.

I game, it's what I do. I've seen pictures of me playing Genesis as a toddler. It's one of the defining traits of my existence.

 

[Blackadder51]

I guess eventually it shall

 

[Vrex360]

I love playing games but to be truthful odds are yes. I'm rediscovering the wonders of 'outside' once again and I think before my time is done I'll find a nice girl and if it's the girl I hope it is, and she's no gamer, then I will have to put games aside and start a new life.
But that's not for a long time and odds are they'll always have a place in my heart.

 

[PureChaos]

most likely no. i won't go of them but depending on career it may just be a case of not having time, rather then not wanting to.

 

[bluepilot]

Still 23 with a research job and going strong.

I would stop but there are just too many exciting games coming out...

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Probably not. I might stop playing them as much when I get other commitments, but I doubt I'll 'grow out of it'.

 

[Perwer]

Of course I can't say for sure; But probably no. I was told: "when you get older you'll understand why real life is more fun". But I never did. As time goes by I see less and less reason to stop playing. Real life is pretty damn predictable and boring. Until someone presents the true meaning of life to me it will remain my understanding that we have no idea what the meaning of this shit is, and all we can do is to enjoy ourselves. For me, that's games.

 

[The_Healer]

Nope.
Gaming is the way I relax... and take out most of my anger.
I can see myself gaming for the rest of my life... and i'm happy with it.
Screw anyone who doesn't like it. If they don't like gaming, they don't like a big part of me.

 

[bjj hero]

Only when I can no longer use a joypad or see the screen. Im 29, have a family and still going strong. The big difference is I can thrash most kidson Streetfighter etc. Ive just been doing it longer.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I will always love games, only way I wouldn't play games were if all my limbs got cut off. And even then I could get robot limbs.

 

[Custard_Angel]

I'm saying when I get a family, but it's likely it will only downsize for a while. I want a boy and when he gets old enough, we'll bond like through co-op. Father and son meshing together over the barrel of an MP44... Beautiful in its own way. Unless he hates games... In which case I'll go all "THIS IS SPARTA!" on him... Even though he won't understand the reference.

 

[megapenguinx]

I highly doubt I ever will. My amount of time I get to play may fluctuate but I'll still always be a gamer.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Probably.

I don't game nearly as much as I used to anyway, thanks to other things I'd rather do, like play my guitar, and I don't enjoy them like I used to, so I suppose I shall.

Still, I think I'll still play games, but just not as much as I used to, like my brother, who's 32 and still plays games, but just not as seriously as he used to.

 

[SoldierofJustice]

I've been playing games since I was 4 on my old VIC-20.

Now I'm 29, married with 2 kids and while I don't play games as much, I still play them quite a bit.

Funny that this poll comes up, I was just talking with my friend the other day about fearing the day when I get too old to play video games. Some day in the future my joints, reflexes, and mind might give out and I'll have to give them up.
