      When you have a 9-6, you just can't get good at multiplayer with what precious free time you have. Your reflex is slower, you are more tired and you don't know the map as well as the little ones. Thank God I got out of multiplayer while I still have my dignity.

      There's something I find almost intimidating about multiplayer only games. I don't like being someone's cannon fodder while I try and figure out how to play the game. Being able to practice on AI/bots is a feature I appreciate a lot.

So me playing a game in the day time abit does not bother her. Definatly not playing all day right now anymore when I'm not working but time will open up again more when my son is older and gaming with me. Don't worry you'll find the time if it's important. Just like with all things in life.

      Anime race?
      I don't watch an anime before it's a complete season. I'd rather wait three months for a full binge than wait two weeks between every 17-minute bite of story.
      But then again, I don't discuss anime much either. There's too many people who know far too little or far too much in those discussions.
      I've even maintained my "monogamy", although there are more games I don't care to finish these days. As a kid, the lack of alternatives makes you play every last bit, even if it isn't that good...

      Token Black I’ve been doing that same thing for the past 2 years. spreading my available time in different games and it made things worse I think because now I have a bunch half-way played games. Every time I’m going to play, I spend infinite deciding what to continue, and some games you even feel lost when you go back to. I have restarted Metal gear Rising like 4 times because I always forget the controls. I’m going back to one game at a time because at least I get to finish something before moving on

Actually I used to roam quite a bit, so Fallout, and I have done some equipment operating, so Farming Simulator and Spintires: Mudrunners as well. Cheers and all I can say about later life is no matter what steps you may take, the path one winds up wandering may defy ones imagination completely.

    Probably just me, but I have no idea how I was able to handle grinding and sudden difficulty spikes when I was younger. Pokemon Sapphire: I had a Swampert by the third gym. That's at least 10 levels above anything the gym leader had, how the heck did I manage that? Digimon World 3: I don't recall having too much trouble against anything up till I got to Amaterasu server, but on a much later replay I was barely surviving fights in the Badlands and in certain underwater segments on my first visits there. Only thing I can think of is that I must have done a crapton of grinding, which brings me back to the question of how I managed it. I absolutely HATE level grinding now, and having to do a couple hours of grinding turns me off!

    My God, I could listen to Rob all day. So many things here apply to all the adult game players. Hell, even back in the day years ago as a youngster in my 20's I still managed to plough through games. It's a lot harder now, but there are days when I make a rule and say 'Ok I don't care if the sky falls down I'm playing this and this tonight etc'. I realised back in 2008 when I started playing mmo's seriously (the wonderful FFXI and later FFXIV, among others) that I had to stick other games on first or else nothing else would get played if I put FFXI or FFXIV on before them. Still ploughing through my library of games from my Atari 2600 all the way up to XBOX ONE, PS4, PC, etc. At the moment I'm currently in a fit of buying PS1 games to add to my collection, some of which I had literally not touched in years, and some that I wish would get the remake or remaster treatment, such as the incredible Vagrant Story. Anyway, time to stick on FFXIV and get some more quests done!

    Rob, there are only two options: either EVERY SINGLE PERSON you hang out with has never seen your Friday Features or you've slowly lost people to hang out with because of what you're constantly saying about family gatherings and social events, how much you loathe them and such. Then again, that might be your goal, so you get to have more time for games. I might actually follow suit.
    On another note, I think growing up doesn't necessarily mean we get bad at games. I remember getting murdered by the Phantom Heartless and that other dick in the sand in KH1, but then, playing the remake on PS3, I destroyed them on my first attempt - same thing with Sephiroth. Now, I'm not sure if it's because, for some reason, the remake was made easier than the original, in any case, that's what happened.

    Absolutely on point! I'd add 2 more things to this list:
    1) I no longer get to admit freely that my hobby is video games, otherwise I'm perceived by my colleagues as lazy (even though no one judges anyone that way for saying they binge-watch netflix for hours). Finding others with whom I can discuss my love of games is like finding out who smokes in a state where it's illegal (which, of course, I don't do either...).
    2) Video games are far less social for me now. Call me lame, but I'm not into playing with people online, especially strangers. I miss the days when playing games with friends was like playing a board game on the screen. I even miss taking my controller with me to a friend's house, or asking the same few friends to brings theirs so everyone else could play as well.

    I don't have any kids and I basically own my own business. So, I work whenever I want to work. So, there have been days where if I am playing a game and I want to play more of it, I'd just take off that day and keep playing to my heart's content. And I'd get plenty of sleep too. See, I am enjoying my life NOW instead of waiting until I am 60 plus years old!

      Akroma 349 Buuuuut, if you have kids, once they reach a certain age, you can spend some of your quality time with them playing video games. So two birds with one stone type of deal. You just gotta raise the kids right (teach them to love games like yourself).

      Jan Christoffersen The key is to have a significant other who is also a gamer. Then you can either play together, or you can schedule times to trade off. That being said- I don't have kids, and I have no idea how anyone who has kids has any time or money left.

    I'm like you. I recently watched a God of War review after buying it....months late of course because I have a backlog because I don't have time to play these games. The review said at least 35 hours of gameplay..."35 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY!!! WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?...I SURE DON'T. I DON'T HAVE THE LEAVE FROM WORK FOR 35 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY!!!. These game developers are something else..they are really something else" Now I'm compromising sleeping and eating so that I can beat this game and then get Assassin's Creed Origins to try to beat it before Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out in Oct. Good Luck to me!!!

    Totally get all of these Rob! 33yrs old with 3 & 2 yr old boys. Time, responsibility, money all gone! I long for just a few days to escape in an rpg. When I can play after bedtime is a success I end up (sometimes unknowingly) playing into the early hours in case I will never get a chance again, thereby sacrificing precious sleep before the 5am wakeup and causing misery around me with my sleep deprived grumpy demeanour...but it was worth it for a few hours of escapism in a world like the Witcher etc.

    Two years late to the party. Sadly, I didn't even get the chance to be good at video games because I was in my early thirties, married and with 3 young sons when I started! Tomb Raider original. Husband and I tag team played, I did exploring and puzzles, he tackled timed or difficult jumping etc. and when we both got stumped we looked up online walk throughs. In no time my youngest was beating me at Crash Team Racing and coaching me at Legends of Dragoon battle system, our middle boy was rushing us in Diablo 2 Expansion runs, and our oldest swapped Elder Scrolls unmarked locations, uniques and best builds. We still do & he is 30!

    This video hit so close to home! First, thank you for bringing up Legend of Dragoon, the game that got me into RPGs. I remember replaying all the PS1 FF games. Now I rarely finish games. Part of it is games have changed a bit, and also I don't have as much time as I used to. It's very true that now I look for simpler games that don't require a lot of time to finish. Great video! 👍

    The one I had to learn as an adult was "never underestimate a good single player campaign game". When I was 14 or 15 I couldn't get enough of multiplayer, now I'd kill for a really good submersive campaign. I haven't been engrossed in a game since Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Don't get me wrong, I love apex but man....i miss good single players.
