    I think My gaming days are coming to and..............

    END..............Well guys it's been fun for me, I have been gaming for over 25 years and I always have said I will game for life, but I think it;s over for me. I have been through so many systems over my life time and have had a great time. Gaming just has been not the same for me, I'm not up to playing much of anything anymore and when I do buy new games, I play them for about a day or two and thats about it. So coming away with that same routine I think gaming is really not something I care to do much anymore.

    I do have a PSP that I play more then anything and own a Wii too, thats for the Kids and myself, and also with a New baby coming, and it being crazy at work , I don't have time for gaming at all, thats why I play my PSP more because I;m always on the go, with having 3 kids and one on the way, I don;t have the time or urge to play gaming console anymore. Yes this is sad to be that I'm just out growing this in my life.

    Also the main issue that affects my gaming decision is sports games, thats really all I like and play, and the sports video games that come out each year, are just not really blowing me away like I though Nextgen would, and companies have been releasing half complete and buggy games that just has ruined my sports gaming experience the last few years.

    The only thing that I'm truly still satisfied with that fact that I can still play Madden/Ncaa football and MLB the show on my psp. I also never have to pay for games, I won;t speak much about that. These 3 sports game son the PSP fill my sports gaming needs.

    Yes I may go through console denial sometimes, but like I stated earlier, I don;t touch my systems and continue to waste money on games i think I need and want just not to play at all.

    I'm 30 years old now and for the next 10 years I need to concentrate on famliy and carer and things that matter right now, and not to waste money on gaming when I'm not a gamer like I used to be, with having 3 kids and on on the way, the Wii and especially the PSP are keepers, I'm just facing the truth about gaming in my life right now, it's just not the same and I don't play like I used to.

    ANyway I still will be around here for the sports foums. SO see ya around.

      Yea everyone of us will have to deal with these issues at some point. I for one have had these very thoughts. I just look at, if I buy 2 to 3 games a year and when ever I get time to sit down and play them, then that is fine. If not they will be there for when ever I do have time. BUT like you said, I am not casting aside my daily life requirments to game. Certain things come first and gaming is not one of them.

      But if I quit completely I would be bored to death sitting in the house with nothing to do. So having it as a option to pass time is the big draw for me.

        Well if your gaming days are coming to and end, maybe a few courses in sentence structure could follow?

        "and end?"

          I'm adding this thread to my favorites so I can quickly recall it in 1 month when you have 3 new systems.

            Alot of people will say I will game forever, but few really mean it. people get caught up in there enjoyment. I for one will not only because I enjoy it but I find gaming a release, If im stressed (which we all are at times) Vids can take my mind away from it all, its almost theraputic. I remember going through high school and forgetting about gaming. At the time it was cuz of A) girls and B) the games were too far off in depth, but now and for the past 5,6 years Im back and here to stay. Gaming is a way of life, especially in the winter when theres not much to do.
            I would reconsider your apparent change of heart, youll be back soon I bet, unless you purposely ignore gaming. You gotta have sometime for yourself too you know... not that family doesnt come first...

                    funny man, I got nothing, I'm out growing it bottom line, it's sux to admit it but it;s true. I have 4 kids to worry about, and me wasting money on gaming right now is a problem. I need to worry about my kids first instead of gaming.

                    I'm not extreme, I don't have money to waste

                        Lack of gaming will lead to more masturbation.

                          I think it is the other way around.

                          More gaming = less sex
                          Less gaming = more kids

                            I definitely game a lot less than I once did. Kids will do that for you.
                            That's why I made the swap from a 360 to PS3. I figured, if I was going to have a console I might as well have one with BluRay.

                            I still game from time to time, but it's maybe 2-4 hours a week. That's good enough for me.
                            I only buy one or two games a year and rent now and then.

                            What's great about it is, if I get a game (like when I had Mass Effect), while most gamers have it done in a week, it'll last me a good month or two. I can take my time.

                              Eh...

                              I'll be a gamer for life.

                              I have as much fun now at age 30 as I did at age 12.

                              In fact...it's more fun nowadays with the advances in technology along with the ability to game with guys from all over the country and the world.

                              No matter what's going on in my life...I don't think I'll ever be able to quit being a gamer.
