I woke up this morning asking myself... Am I immature? Alot of kids i know outgrow video games, but not me.. Do I have some kind of problem or something? I plan on buying video games the rest of my life! I am only 18 (still in training to be an adult) and i hope to get a Nintendo DS soon! I spend money to tweak my xbox and I have a pretty big library of games that is still growing! I like my video games more than my girlfriend because they don't call me all the time and bother me! In fact, what do you think im doing when she calls?! I am playing video games. AM I NORMAL!?!? OH MY GOD! Will I play untill im old and gray?! -no offence to waggster. :P

No. ;D

...but one always should remember that real live comes first and then the entertainment and the scene.

I hope not, but the more new games that come out the more i find myself loving retro games, 2D especially, is there going to be a time when I can get games I like any more and so will be foreced to give up because of it?

hmph i might
i really have no desire to buy the ps3 or any next gen consoles. i'm 16 and i've been playing games since i was born but theres no innovation anymore.

I mean no one could ever get tired of tetris. But i don't think i'll ever set aside time to play video games. i think ill play some occasional counter-strike when im really really bored.




lololol the bump is funny
before psp came out i believe

Put it this way....if they thought we would ever grow out of it, would DoA Extreme 2 have come out? Or what about gears of war?

scarph
January 2nd, 2007, 04:07
what,
that makes very little sense.

obviously gaming companies dont want people to grow out of games, but people are going to.

just like i've just recently grown out of disney movies.

SSaxdude
January 2nd, 2007, 04:26
The current generation of gamers will play games for more years than past gamers, and I image future gamers will play games longer than us.

As for me, I'll probably stop playing games as much, but I will never give up videogaming in whole.

As long as my kids play video games, the games of MY age (I'll dig out the Wii and tell them how old it is, then show them the NES. Blast from the past. Woo.) I'll be playing the games with them.

i've been playing for over 10 years and im just 15, but even if i get married i'll never stop. i'm actually worried incase i: a) Go blind, and thus can't continue to play; or b) Get arthritis in my fingers from playing games, and thus can't continue to play.

January 13th, 2007, 22:08
I'll never stop playing video games but i'm sure the time will come when I am no longer interested in the new games/consoles coming out and just stick with the retro games. I hope I've still my console collection when I'm 80, I wonder what people who aren't gonna be born for 20 yrs will make of a NES.

I would have to say, you will find things that are better than video games. whether it be college, beer, movies, reading, or my personal favorite, significant others.

I am a dude, right, as if my name doesent give it away or anything... anyway... I used to play games constantly, get stoned, play video games... and in my spare time, I would work on my own games, well... I started school, quit working on my own games, still played em tho... then I met the love of my life, and havent touched my XBOX, GC, PS2, or PSP for games since... my girlfriend is far superior to video games ever could have been... I still use my PSP to play music, and the occasional PS1 game if I get bored enough, but man, once you find somthing better, games can go to hell lol...

thats my two cents, and I'm sticking to em... should wash em off, but I like em...

March 7th, 2007, 10:08
I'm losing interest at the moment, but that's only because there is'nt yet a good enough selection of Exclusive games on the Wii...

...I'm waiting for Resident Evil and Mario, which they will bring me back to my old gaming self! (hopefully)

Grow out of games? That's blasphemy! How could such a question even be asked?!

No, seriously though - as good as games get, I remember when I was a kid playing on my wood-effect Atari console, before I ever got my hands on a Commodore 16, and dreaming of the amazing games I could expect in the future. The Matrix, Star Trek Holo-decks, Red Dwarf TIV games, all as nothing compared to the possibilities conceived-of by my infant brain.

Now, with the way games technology has almost lived up to expectations in such a short time-frame, those possibilities are closer than ever!

I'll give up gaming when I'm bored of dreaming. :P

VampDude
April 22nd, 2007, 22:21
No way, I've been a gamer since I was 4, and I'll be a gamer forever :)

and how long ago was you 4? :p

I've been playing VideoGames for a good part of 20years, the first thing I can remember playing was a silver coloured pong thingy on a 14" tv, then some game on a ZX Spectrum 2, then I had the world of Atari 2600 which was short lived by me getting a NES when I was 5 which when I was 8 I got a GameBoy and a MegaDrive and when I was 9 I got a SNES, when I was 12 I got a Sega Saturn when I was 13 I got a GameBoyPOCKET+Camera&Printer, when I was 14 I got a N64, when Iwas 15 I stopped hating the PSone so much and traded just about everything (megadrive,saturn,snes,gameboyPOCKET/CAM/PRINTER, and loads've games) for a brandnew "DualShock" PSone with a 1mb SONYmemcard Spyro Tekken3 TombRaider3and GTA, when I was 16 I got a GameBoyCOLOR to play Pokémon (as sad as that sounds) when I was 17 I recieved my first DreamCast for my birthday, I got a PS2 on launch day, when I was 18 I got a GameCube, when I was 19 I found a WonderSwan whilst in America so I bought it, I also bought a GameboyAdvanceSP at the same time (to play YuGiOh), when I was 20 my GameCube died so I played PS2 instead but that died too so I bought a slimlinePS2, I bought another GmeCube when I was 21, I bought 2 PSP's when I was 22 plus a 2nd DreamCast, I got an Xbox360 for my 23rd birthday but didn't want it cause it wasn't a Premium pack Xbox360 which little less than 2 months later I got a Wii (well 2 cause I sold one on ebay)...

...Wow that's my story, which I am sure there is some stuff that is missing but this is all I can remember in a span of tying this in less than 15 mins which now my brain is on the blink! :eek: :p

White_Hawk_UK
April 23rd, 2007, 19:29
Wow - that's some list.

In my case, my parents weren't particularly well-off, so my gaming history is sporadic.

I had an Atari VCS (a 2600 before they were called "2600"s)... or should I say, my dad had one when I was yay-high to something not very tall. He sat up for a couple of days once, just to see what happened when you maxed-out the level counter on PacMan.

It resets to zero, by the way. He was very disappointed.

Can't be bothered trying to remember the chronology, but my history took a twist with a cast-off C16, and I reprogrammed the very BASIC 'Mr. Puniverse' so I could shortcut through a radioactive room and complete the game. I then had an Atari 520STFM, which further tickled my geeky-bone. I moved on up to the heady heights of a super-fast 16MHz (25MHz with the turbo button down) Octek 386 mainboard, custom-built PC... but I never did get around to installing a sound card.

At one time or another, I had both a Sega Megadrive and a Playstation (pre-dual-shock), and during a long, penniless stay in Ireland, my old, decrepit 386 died a noisy death - the hard-drive's heads fused to the disk one day, tore away from their armatures, and made a lovely crunching noise as they were spun into a thousand little, burned-out pieces inside the drive unit.

The Playstation (now dual-shockified) saw me through some miserable times until my return to London, whereupon I embarked on a new project. The PC I built back in 2001 is the one I'm using right now... though there is little of the original hardware installe din it any more; mainboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive, and graphics card have all been replaced in the last half a decade, such is the pace of evolution in PCs.

This Christmas gone, I purchased a PS2 for my old man. My dad has now completed Resident Evil 4's various modes (including Pro) several times, and complains that other games just don't match-up to it. I think he'll probably go in for another blast on it when he gets bored of his latest purchases.

I can't play on the PS2 for long without getting extremely frustrated with the joypad's severe limitations as compared to my trusty high-res optical mouse and keyboard (supplemented by a Thrustmaster DualPower for the odd racing game), but it keeps my dad happy for hours on end.

I never did learn much more about coding. I realised in time that I hadn't the skill or patience to code anything half as well as it had already been done a thousand times. Nowadays, my fast-aging PC gets treated more like a games console that just happens to be good at other things too.

Strange how things work out.

I dont think I'll ever grow out of video games. I'll probably slow down my playing time in a few years (i'm 25), but I dont think that quitting and not playing again is something I have in me.

And I've been free of Magic the Gathering for 2 years! Tried to quit a couple of times before and got pulled back in. At least video games didnt form horrible money costing withdrawls like Magic, since I have an extensive library of games!

...Thou I miss my collection at my grandparents house, and I've started re-buying games I already have on the Sega Saturn the Dreamcast and a few games on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Sonic, more people grew up with Sonic. Goku is just a third party character from an animé, Sonic had his own animé but the games were first so Sonic would win...

...I mean if he didn't there wouldn't be compilation game packages being released all the time, the PS2 has 2 and the PC has something like 3 or 4

I agree completely. Sonic rules whatever happens. :thumbup:

No nothings wrong with you, video games are just a form of entertainment, just like watching TV or listening to music, but trust me, your with the big kids now. Theres nothing like the feeling you get when you install a mod chip into your ps2 for the first time and push that power button. If you feel like video games are taking over your life you should stop though. Instead of playing video games all night why not go to a concert? Do something else that you like to do. If you REALLY REALLY like video games you should try to get a job with them, then you can be sure that its a job you'll love.

I don't know if I'm going to be playing video games for the rest of my life, but I'm sure as hell not going to stop now!

No, just get a job that you can spend as much time after playing... I work shifts, so I have loads've time to play (days and days) :D

Such a pity I can't play as much tomorrow thou :( although that's what the PSP is for! (sneakily playing whilst working) :D

I spend money to tweak my xbox and I have a pretty big library of games that is still growing! I like my video games more than my girlfriend because they don't call me all the time and bother me! In fact, what do you think im doing when she calls?! I am playing video games. AM I NORMAL!?!? OH MY GOD! Will I play untill im old and gray?! -no offence to waggster. :P



Hey

Well I know I answered this not too long ago. But I would like to say something.

Years ago,I enjoyed video-games like hell. I always said that I'm a video-gamer,because I play them since my child-hood,well.. I was a baby,like 5 years old. But I really was just a fan months ago. I only read about them because I used to play a lot. At that time,I only played games for like 20 minutes daily,I got bored so quickly. "Why?" was my question,and some weeks ago,I got my answer.

The answer: Piracy + Fast Internet Speed

I found out the way how to download and play games without buying them,illegally. And downloaded games like daily. I didn't even have the time to play one,I just kept downloading and downloading. It was so boring.... I had in mind that video-games were not for me anymore. Maybe I grew up or something? Maybe games aren't that good anymore?

But now,since some weeks ago,I bought an Xbox 360. And guess what? Everytime I turn it on I play for hours,and I turn it on almost every day. I'm so glad to "be back"! Thank you Microsoft for making this awesome system! Thank you Charlie for selling me your Xbox 360! Thank you developers for making so great games like BioShock and Gears of War! :)

I am 40 and have actually just started playing home console games in the last 4 years. Have had a X-Box, sold it, and just bought my first PS2 in March 2007. In the 80's as a teen I always hit the arcades with pockets full of quarters. Had an Atari when they first came out too. Forever Young should be the mentality, while maintaining responsibility when required. PEACE!

Na, I doubt I'll grow out of videogames, they've been an important part of my free time since I was a kid, and I've grown up playing 'em. Even though some people think I should stop playing "kiddies" games like Ratchet and Clank (btw, I'm 16); I can only say 2 words to them- these words rhyme with the phrase "Duck Jew".

I really have no idea if I will ever grow out of video games. It depends on how much free time I have (If I have a job that doesn't leave me with much to time play games) and my physical condition in the future (If I lose my hands or have arthritis or something then using a controller is out of the question, unless games become playable with mind control by then).

I think I probably will someday.

White_Hawk_UK
July 17th, 2008, 03:14
Mind control won't be necessary - with a pair of augmented reality goggles and a couple of control buttons large enough to thump at feebly with your withered stumps, the real world need only be a grand arcade of virtually limitless gaming possibilities and applications. Seriously, search for Augmented Reality in Google and YouTube. If you find it, you'll love the first-person recording of Ewok Rampage on the demo guy's desktop (not his Windows Desktop, the one with his keyboard on it). Look out for Darth Vader's victory celebration. =D

Of course I will, I'm not saying I wont play the odd game when im older, but there will be a time when i don't buy the new consoles and don't even care to.

We all grow up, and then we hit times when gaming is the last thing on our minds.

Lately I haven't played many games but I used to play them like crazy... Maybe growing up is what stops people from playing games as much as when they were kids...

One thing however... I'm getting bored of Final Fantasy... I've beaten them all except 11, 12 and X-2. I like GTA and Gun still tho but don't play much.

I guess I'm currently growing out of video games...

I had a friend who when we where like 10 said something about not being sure that he should still be buying video games because he would be too old for them soon or he said that he didn't think he should get anew console because he would outgrow video games before he got much use out of it or something like that. As if at some pre determined upcoming age he would magically never want to touch a game again and would be shunned if he did. I dont remember exactly what he said. But the point is that he was an idiot. I still heart my video games and always will.

I like playing video games and I've been playing them as long as I can remember, but there are things far more important in life.

If I'm caught up with other things, I usually have no time to play video games at all, but when I finally do have time to play them again, I really enjoy it. Believe it or not, I think it helps channel anger for me. :P

So, will I stop playing video games? The answer would most likely be no. ;)

I am an adult and still rock my games like it's 2099, but at the same time, I've learned to put the controller down. I don't fiend for them as I used to do. There is a certain magic that has somewhat disappeared as I've grown older. For example, when I was younger, you would present me with 2 choices and video games was one of them? Video games would win. Now, give me 2 choices and one happens to be a woman's( .....well you know....), I would have to ask you one question, what is a video game? I'd ask it as I do a swan dive into .....well, I'll let your imagination figure that one out....
