Poll: Will you outgrow games?

[Manji187]

Can anyone honestly say they will still be gaming when they're say 60 something?

Unless you add shovelware and games like Bejeweld and Snake to the equation (which I don't). IMHO the amount of time spent on gaming naturally diminishes with age...the rate of decline just varies from person to person.

I am yet to see a person who games more and more as he/ she is aging.

EVENTUALLY, but not any time soon IMO, I think I've still got a few more decades in me.

Every year I game less and less. I use to consider myself a hardcore gamer, now I'm more of a 'to kill the boredom of life' or social gamer. If I got to spend time with my sons, I wouldn't game hardly at all. I will probably always own a gaming system and have games like Plants vs. Zombies on my PC, but I voted family.

I've been playing video games since I was three years old, or something. I'm never going to outgrow them.

I have friends, I have a fiance, and I still get to enjoy video games. Life is good.

 

[Private Custard]

It's happening right now. I haven't bought a game this year at all and probably wont until next year.

 

[ActionDan]

Don't be silly. I will never out grow games.

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.

Real life is pretty dan predictable and boring??!?!?!?!!? If you stay in your bedroom playing games ofcourse it is, you just got to do stuff, just fly to china for a week and see what happens, go skiing/snowboarding in the alps, what have you tried doing so far??

Oh and I will probably quit completely when I get to college, anyone who wants to get a good job hasent got time to play games during college.

Hard to say, I don't want to but the only thing that would stop me is having a family.

 

[r3lix]

Since your asking for my oppinion. I'm going to say that no one out grows games, no matter how old you may be. Life is a game that must be played. we win and lose all the time but the whole idea of a game is to have fun and not to give up. And im enjoying life now *grins*. sorry if i went a bit too far. just spilled out what was on my mind.

 

[mikecoulter]

I don't think I will. I love a good game I do.

It's like an interactive film...

 

[billybobby]

i doubt it, i mean i will start playing less, but if i get a family and get a boy, then i would probably get back in to games

 

[SmilingKitsune]

Who's to say? When I was seven I thought I'd never grow out of Lego and....hang on bad example..
Honestly I don't know, I certainly don't think so now, I love games and everything they can be.

 

[Cheesebob]

Only if I have to, otherwise never.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I'm 29 and nowhere close to outgrowing games, heavy metal or toilet humour.

Nor do I ever plan to.

 

[MrGFunk]

The say that the best things in life never last.

If games stop being enjoyable and if they all turn to rubbish I will outgrow them. I don't want to waste my time. I'd probably just turn to the classics.

It's happening right now. I haven't bought a game this year at all and probably wont until next year.

It might be a phase - I went through one about 8 years ago. I'm fine now.

 

[RanD00M]

Most likely not since i am gameoholic.Also the fact that i live in a town that has nothing to do.So i play video Games.And i really enjoy it.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

I'll be playing them till I die, hopefully. I've had gfs that hated gaming (they didn't last long) and gfs that were also gamers (these lasted longer) so ultimately I do hope to settle down with someone that will love gaming as much as I do, or at least someone that will tollerate it

Although my tastes have changed greatly, from my first SNES, to PC games, to nothing that isnt an MMO or online FPS. Will be interesting to see what the next stage is, but I guarantee it will be gaming!

My true hope is that when I'm old and arthritic, they'll have telepathic controls or somesuch, meaning my sharp gamer mind can kick the ass of the young whippersnappers and there silly tinfoil jumpsuits...

 

[SpAc3man]

NEVER. Im going to force my kids to play all the games i used to play. Starting with Doom, Commander Keen and Scorched Earth. Then Pokemon Yellow and Quake. Then Spyro 3, Tekken 3, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3. Somewhere here they will play some classic Final Fantasy, preferably VII. Eventually they can move on to the HL1 series. After, they can play through Gran Turismo 2, 3 and 4 before moving on to BF:1942. Then once they have played through that they can have a go at the source engine games like CS:S, TF2, Portal, L4D and the HL2 series and then Final Fantasy XII, Bioshock, COD4, COD5 and Far Cry 2. Then Finally any future releases such as Modern Warfare 2 etc. After all this hopefully they will appreciate their quad-HD games they have available to them. Lucky Bastards

I appear to be in the process of doing so.
300+ euros wasted, it would seem.
I'll probably get back into gaming once the need to study arises, not to worry.

 

[Socken]

Well, I guess as long as fun games are produced I won't, except maybe when I get a family. I imagine that would take up a lot of time
