So I'm sitting here contemplating (again) over rebuyong destiny. And i started thinking about how my gaming habbits have changed since i started playing games as a kid.
As a child, i was a console player. My father had bought all of the popular consoles aince he too was an avid gamer. Thus i played what he played. From mario to mortal kombat to contra and star fox and final fantasy, any game i could get my grimy little hands on, i played.
As i got a little bit older i shifted to more story oriented games. I loved any fantasy story i could get. Final fantasy four and six, lufia , chrono trigger and the like i flocked towards them. While i would still play games from other genres, Jrpgs are really what i enjoyed as a kid to my mid teens.
Then i discovered online gaming. Diablo 2 was my weapon of choice. Being able to comunicate and play with others was something that filled my uounger lonely self with mich joy. Years were spent playing diablo 2.
Once i hit adulthood though, i found a new genre . Shooters. Online no less. I discovered CoD and battlefield. While i woul still play the occasional JRPG , mainly square enix titles, many nights and days were spent on my headset shooting mofos with friends from work.
I'm 26 now. I have become an avid Fighting game player. Again online is the name of the game. I absolutely love the idea of having a match. One on one against another person. My skill against his. For better or worst. Up until the match starts. The chances of winning are equal to both players. Use what knowledge you have and try to beat them into submission.
So thats basically a sum of my gaming history. I noticed that now i play only mostly online games and have for a long while. I do still enjoy singleplayer games, but i have noticed that unless a game has online play, i tend to lose interest quickly.
TL;DR: How have your gaming habits changed over the years?
