Do you think you will ever stop playing video Games?

[chadachada123]

I mean, I've likely still got another 10 years before I have kids that'll be old enough to play games (as I have yet to have kids), and I imagine I'll be playing games right alongside them until I am physically no longer able to play games. That's the most likely thing, I think.

 

[Nazulu]

Never will I give up games! I'm actually making games in flash and testing them.

 

[Nazulu]

It's possible. There was a time when I would've responded to this question with a definite "Hell no" But now I'm not so sure. I've felt my general interest in gaming has waned over the last several years or so. This began roughly about the time the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii came out. It's as if something is missing from gaming now, but I can't quite put my finger on it. And more than that though, the gaming community itself has become one I'd really rather not associate myself with either.
So yeah, there may come a time in the not-to-distant future that I may just drop gaming altogether.

Yeah, I was feeling that way not long ago. There is heaps missing from gaming now that I only got back in the 90s. So I've decided to try and revive it.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I stopped for a little bit recently because I just couldn't be bothered.
Back into now I have a fair bit of time off work. I hope I won't outgrow it and I can easily pick up all the new consoles in the future.
I want my kids to be gamers as long as my boyfriend agrees with that. I'd like to play games with them and show them the games I grew up on, as well as all the new fancy shingle dingle that will be out by then xP

All in all, I doubt I'll ever completely stop gaming. Perhaps move down to a casual gamer instead of my marathon hardcore sprees.

 

[LilithSlave]

No, not as long as there are still plenty of games like this:

Though if the video game abandons and kills everything I love in video games from being made again, and instead becomes a macho manly man fest, like many Westerners are apparently clamoring for, I'll abandon all new video games and never look back.

There's no point in my paying any attention to new video games if they all simply become brown and gritty first person shooters and wRPGs. And it is for sure that many people are trying to make this an eventuality.

NNNNNEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cough* I'm sorry... I don't think I'll stop gamin until my dying day...

 

[Rock-nerd]

Sometimes, i get this feeling that i just don't want to play video games, i feel like i don't get enjoyment from them anymore. but just today i was playing them without a care in the world. it's weird.

 

[DSK-]

Of course I will stop playing games. When I'm dead in the ground. Not even arthritis could ever hope to put an end to my gaming.

 

[him over there]

Probably, there's going to be a point when I'm physically too old to play them. Won't be able to look at the screen very long or react and play them as well as is necessary.

 

[V TheSystem V]

If it starts becoming unaffordable to become a gamer, then I might stop. I don't see that happening though, when I can just ask for the consoles for Christmas or something and hope to God my parents get them for me (am 18, so that one won't be happening for much longer). I don't see myself stopping playing video games any time soon, because no matter how long we stay apart, I still go back to my video games to relieve stress or boredom.

Also, getting my girlfriend into Portal and Left 4 Dead 2. Can't give up gaming just yet!

 

[ryo02]

well Ive stuck with them for 28 years so its a safe bet theyre with me for as long as Im able.

 

[DugMachine]

I'll probably slow down if I ever start my true career and get an actual family going. But no, I'll never stop. I can't wait until we can just plug our brains in to a virtual world.

 

[zuro64]

Nope, I will be an old man in a nursing home with a Xbox 2880 pwning noobs in Battlefield 43.

Neato, wanna be in my squad

OT: I will never stop playing games! I will probably game less in the future (the far far away future) when I have kids and stuff like that but I will never quit. Ohh god I sound like an game addict... well fudge it, I am an game addict!

For me to stop gaming would take something drastic like... death? just kiddin though technically it would stop me from gaming XP

 

[babinro]

Doubtful.

I've put games on hiatus for periods of 3 to 9 months on occasion. But it's a hobby that's always been worth coming back to.

I expect the only things to keep me from gaming all my life will be my own personal health and income. That or a directional shift in gaming that I don't get behind. Like how some people hate motion gaming and if that were the only option out there.

Even then, would you stop playing your old favourites?

I can see myself nolonger buying new games in some future, but not quiting completely.

 

[deathzero021]

as a game developer... i would hope not.

 

[TJC]

Of course. I heard rigor mortis really cuts down your gaming abilities.

 

[DaWaffledude]

Sure. ONCE I'M DEAD!
