Do you still game while you're on twenties?

[TukangUsapEmenq]

As stated on the title. I'm eighteen, here about to go for college of electrical engineering.

Few years later, perhaps, my sense for gaming would be decrease later. Because of working and families etc. Maybe?

(I'm actually already did now, from 8 hours straight on holidays and now not even reaching 5 hours)

 

A little plan I planned though as for a father (if this ain't stupid at all), a $1400 PC for the living room PC, for medias and.. Game. That if my son can use it too.

 

How about you guys?

[Volbet]

I'm 29 and I still play game occasionally.

My choice of games have changed a lot though. I used to play a lot of GPS games, but now a days I tend to prefer either RPGs or turn-based strategy games.

 

I don't really have a lot of time to play games, but whenI do I tend to break out something like X-Com or Civil V.

My wife and I also play a lot of fighting games together.

[Zando_]

I'm also 18. Don't see myself stopping gaming anytime soon, unless I can't get enough time, or I start a family and my wifey doesn't like me gaming. Though if I have any kids, I'll be sure to instill them with a love for games and all things Star Wars, as is my duty. 

[try2topdat]

I'm 26 and I have a 4 Month old daughter. I still game when I get my wifey and the baby asleep. I can usually play 1 to 3 hours a day. I got a 40 hours job too.

My adoptive father has gamed since the 70s, and I've gamed since 91 when I was 1.  Does that help?

Probably it is. I game from 5 or 6 years old and still until now.

Even preferably my laptop with GTA 5 or Dota 2 more than outside world though. Ironically.

 

Gotta try fry myself by the sun though.

Ah, nice to hear that

[zzzzzzzhhh]

Well, I wouldn't know myself since I'm not there yet, but my dad definitely still plays on our switch, not much with PCs though, even though he has quite a monster of a build for his job (Data scientist).

[mrchow19910319]

Different people will give you different answer. 

 

I remembered I used to game more than 8 hours a day. On a crappy 720p laptop that I have. 

And at that point of time I don't even have internet. Need for speed most wanted and warcraft 3 is all I play. 

 

Now I am 26. I started to phase out the habit of gaming since a few years ago. And 2 months ago I just sold my gaming pc. i7 4770, rx480, 16GB of ram system. I always have the urge to play games, but I know as soon as I start a game, it bores me to death. I just stopped fancying any games anymore. It all becomes repetitive to me. You go to place A, do things then B then C. It's always the same. Also having to deal with in game teammates is a pain in the ass too. Not worth for me. 

 

So I bought a new laptop and use it as my daily driver. Watching streams, or browsing reddit, watching movie is all I do. 

[Teddy07]

I am 30 and played a lot until recently. I just sold my gtx 1070 because games began to bore me. It just doesn't make as much fun as it used to do. I also have less time and mining is not worth here in Germany.

[AshleyAshes]

I used to play a lot more when I was younger, because I have less free time on account of full time employment.
I buy a lot more games and hardware now on account of full time employment.

23, definitely, gaming has no age. 

[Misanthrope]

My father still games, daily almost. He's in his 60s so it isn't something that goes away if you find it entertaining you will continue to do so and find the time I bet.

[Drak3]

I've been gaming less, but either because I'm too physically or emotionally tired to get invested in a game with a good, long story, and I don't feel like learning the new gun of the week in Infinite Warfare.

[kaiju_wars]

I'm 22 and I game still.  I have a full time job so I can't game all the time like I used to, not that I could back then anyways.  (My dad thought games make you violent).

But yeah, I haven't lost the passion for it.

[Maxxtraxx]

I'm 31 and I still game, not nearly as frequently or in amounts as large as when I was 18-22. I was big into vanilla WoW back then, and would have an interest if I had 4-6 hours a day to play but now I prefer the time with my wife and kids with some occasional gaming after they're asleep, preferably something with a great story(Witcher 3, walking dead, Mass Effect 1-3, Starcraft) and good action whether that be FPS, RPG, or Strategy.

[Zodiark1593]

Going on 26 soon. Often times, I would go days or sometimes a week or more without playing a single game, then maybe during a random night, just binge play a game well into the night, then not game again for awhile.

The old guys sometimes prefer to separate their workstation and their place to play, though.

True story.

Right now I'm using a not-even-reaching-1-month-yet 720p laptop and I'm still proud of it.

This would so far be my favorite words for now. Bought GTA 5 on sale and finished the story for a week (yeah, I enjoyed the cutscenes and the story too), now I have no idea to do beside online that sometimes being like ass.

Wait until few years later and you'll feel the same thing as others I quoted, perhaps

Such series like CoD sucks though when you can't online and only enjoy the story.

As exactly as my pop said: games make you violent.

12 years of my gaming life and I never punch as hard as GTA protagonist to anyone else.

Already try old game like World in Conflict, C&C series, Homeworld or (this doesn't old though) WarGame?

My favorite RTS games so far.

Nice though. Makes the PC itself more last longer

He enjoys mostly FPS games and stealth games, games about sniping and such.

im 26, have a full time job and 4 kids.  i still find time to game every day.

Infinite Warfare's story was extremely good. And I quite enjoy CoD TDM.

 

I enjoy CoD significantly more than the boring bullshit that are The Elder Scroll games and anything TellTale "Games" makes.

GTA5 and witcher 3 has the best game story ever. I remembered invested a lot of time and emotion in it. It felt so real. You know in GTA 5 michael is not a good person. But you couldn't help to feel for him. Anyway, I am pretty sure that once I have some money I will build another gaming PC. Just not in the foreseeable future. And its gonna be an mini ITX system.

I can't even tell why the hell Devin and Steve want Michael/Trevor killed.

So I went to RPG Steve at the park, and let Devin free falling from a cliff with a car on his ass.

 

Now I'm enjoying total of US$124.000.000-ish from these characters. My favorite is modifying cars that every single protagonist got different cars on their garage.

 

Best. Ending. Ever.

 

Haven't try Witcher 3 yet though, will looking forward if it's on sale

Last time I played CoD is Modern Warfare 3. Actually got nice story, but yeah feels repetitive for me.

Personal curiosity: why don't you install Minecraft.

mostly cuz i dont have it and dont feel like buying it.

also cuz then if they are playing minecraft on my computer, then i cant play my games

and i actually blocked the roblox website on our network because they kept installing things on my computer without my

permission.

"can we watch youtube"

"sure go ahead"

-30 minutes later-

"why are you playing this and how did it get on my computer..?"

 

yea got sick of that real quick
