I like video games

[deftones r cool]

Video games are a fantastic medium. Despite having certain phases of my life where my passion for the hobby has dwindled to zero, something always keeps me coming back. Just one month shy of turning 29 years old, I'm grateful to have access to as many titles as I do between my PC and various Xbox consoles. Growing up with my NES, I never would've dreamed of the potential this form of entertainment would one day have, and I'm ecstatic to see where things are headed. 2020 is about to be nuts!

It's too easy to take all this for granted, which likely leads to a lot of negativity on this forum at times. Gaming fatigue is a very real thing, but it's vital to just live in the moment and appreciate the medium for what it is. I'm at a point in my life where I'd much rather cozy up at home with an Xbox controller than go out for night of bar hopping with friends, and I feel all the better for it.

It's gratifying to be an adult with both a stable job and comfy home, and still be able to simply state, "I like video games."

Not hating video games on a video game forum is a risky thing to admit friend

[Cathcart]

Videogames: pretty good.

 

[DigitalOp]

Gaming has came a really long way.

When it comes to VR, Online Games as a Service and even Emulation, if showed people what it would become back in the late 80's or even in the early 3D era 90's, People heads would have exploded.

Our heads will explode 20 years from now as Gaming evolves even more

I'm quite fond of them myself.

 

[Gevurztraminer]

I agree, video games are often easily taken for granted, usually due to misplaced delusions and entitlement. Glad you are honestly and respectfully enjoying video games OP.

You see, I was trying to make a funny joke by referencing that one quote from Ratatouille.
Yeah... it did sound pretty funny in my head...


I do love videogames though.

 

[Mathieran]

I love them too. Been playing my whole life, 34 now. I had a intermission for a couple years in my twenties, but I'm enjoying them now more than ever.

[justiceiro]

Yeah, i'm glad to live in this, to experience this entertainement. It's really rewarding.

 

[Starlatine]

Haha he likes video games what a nerd

 

[Zombine]

It's one of those hobbies that tend to be a foundation for what I enjoy. Other hobbies ebb and flow but I'll always play -something-. It might not always be the latest and greatest game, but there's always a game that defines a year for me.

 

[Force_XXI]

 

[Dog]

I'm in like with them yeah.

 

[Spiderman]

Same here bruh.

 

[Clive]

As long as you like the right ones and play them the right way, we cool. If you like the other ones then I might have to insult you for your abysmal taste.

 

[eXistor]

At 38 I still play them daily and have never had a lull with them, so I think it's pretty clear I love games and that love probably won't go away. The industry may be movig towards a future I don't like, but as long as there are games to play I'll be there.

 

[Dreamboum]

What are you doing here, then?

 

[wideface]

I hate video games. But also love them.
Mostly love.

 

[Joltik]

I like video games as much as movies, music, tv shows, books, art galleries, and possibly the theatre.

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

 

[Yogi]

I like video games when they are consisntently better than the previous games in big ways. I feel like progress has been slow.

 

[Deleted member 10726]

I do too, but there is one thing that just always bothered me:

Would a FMV game taking place in a video game universe be classified as "Video Video Game" or "Video Game Video Video Game"? This keeps me up at night.

 

[Fireblend]

I hear there's never been a better time to be playing video games.

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

You monster!

It definitely is. I'm thankful every day that I've managed to be able to build a life where I have a great career, a decent income, a great wife who also makes a decent income and also never wanted/can't stand children so that I have have plenty of time to continue enjoy gaming and my other hobbies into my 40s and beyond.
