This is something I can relate too actually.

I'm not sure if it's just due to getting old or not but I find very few titles these days entice me. It may also be nostalgia too as when I was young I'd only really ever get a new game around Christmas or my Birthday, or occasionally Easter, so there was always that big wait in anticipation.

Nowadays I can pretty much just buy anything, and now I have that choice I find that most titles don't really hook me anymore. But then I look back at the past 9 years and realised that most of my game time from those 9 years was spent on things like World of Warcraft, SWTOR, Guild Wars 2, The Secret World League of Legends and now A Realm Reborn (with servings of Pokémon on the side). What little time wasn't, was usually lost to Left 4 Dead. MMOs make you chase a carrot on a stick, and most of the time I keep chasing it...

Even a fantastic game like The Last of Us I found didn't hold my attention for longer than a couple of hours at a time. Heck I think the only single player games I lost any significant amount of time too were Mass Effect 1-3 and Skyrim and all the Ezio Assassin's Creed games. Borderlands 2 as well, but that was mostly played Co-Op.

I do look at a lot of the recent releases trying to find something, but there's nothing that screams out to me anymore. I guess it's harder to find a title in a market that's now saturated with yearly Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, EA Sports games etc.

But working 40-50 hours a week my free time is also at a premium too so I guess I've become a lot more fussier about what I can devote my time too.
