I was in the same situation and I’m the same age. I just bought a PS5 for Christmas. I feel that the new games are graphically impressive and some games have enormous worlds and take forever to beat. But there is just something that was fun and addictive back in the day and I don’t feel that the games these days have that.
You've definitely got a point. The open world games rely on a storyline. In the case of Red Dead 2 and Last Of Us, it's really captivating so it makes you want to keep playing. Others... maybe not so much because it's just accomplishing missions. The old school games we're based on patterns, repetition, and timing which really challenge the brain. Think about Punch Out! Lol!
I'm only 19 and still play the 360 because I know exactly what you mean. I know the 360 isn't really from your generation but when I was younger it's what I used and now the new games just aren't the same. I want to play them because they look cool but rarely am I actually sucked into the game the way I use to be.
Maybe it's because back in the day, we had to use our imagination to really step into the characters shoes. Nowadays it feels like we're just going through prompts in a movie...
Nice to hear about your gaming history. So many great games have come out in between. GTA series, GOW series, Red Dead series, Fallout series, and Elder Scrolls are amoung my favorites.
Hey, as always, thanks for the info and transparency 😊 I just received my ps5 console this week and am having fun with it. I am a beginner and have to learn a lot about set up and the controller. I am thankful for all the instructional UA-cam videos! I am now waiting on an internal SSD card to install. By the way, what are you doing about the limited storage? So, I know you are farther along in gaming than I am. So, any further suggestions you might have along the way would be extremely helpful 🙂
Welcome back to gaming. You can now DL free games like Apex, COD War Warzone which comes with DMZ. DMZ use to be a fun game before it became all PvP. These game are cross play so ur able to play with everyone on any platform (Xbox, Playstation,CPU)
GenXer here .. yea also started with Atari, NES, Genesis, PS1 and really slowed once life started to hit .. I casually game now mainly on PC and emulation of old school 2D games
@@NewStuffTV1 but I do want to recommend you play Death Stranding it is one the most relaxing, breathing taking, over the top experiences I've played. And the Soundtrack just compliments the whole experience
I especially agree with the VR man I was getting bored with gaming years ago barely bought anything for ps4. Games just felt like the same game over and over. Then thanks to a bread crumb from the show West World I stumbled on the htc Vive and that was it, VR blew my mind I had no idea games were at that level. Just finally having something different and it even revitalized standard gaming for me.
You know what?! You are not alone! The last time I gamed was on the PS1 (Silent Hill 1 anyone lol). 🤣Buuut, I know I'll be getting the PS5 at some point and I'm looking forward to the experience. Great review!
The way you described playing "Die Hard" after beating the game... I mean, that was the concept for GTA decades later. You were a gamer beyond your time! 😆 Also, you are right about "Last of Us." I turn up the brightness on my TV and it really helps to..... not poop in the pants... lol. If you enjoyed God of War Ragnarok, you really should play the earlier GoW releases to get what it's about.. plus, they were all better than GoW Ragnarok, imo. Lastly, those rubber pads for the analog controllers are great for comfort. No more thumb cramps since I got them last week.
You know you can extend the base memory of the PS5 by about 2 TB right? You have to install a memory card inside. Even I was able to make it work!! Get Wilson to do it for you! Hi Wilson.
Lol! No divorce... Just life. I had a kid, wife, work, etc. Then for years I was super focused on building my businesses so I never thought about games. In recent times I've been able to kick back, relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor over those 20 years.
Welcome back to gaming man
Happy to be back!!
Ignore the naysayers, gaming is better than its ever been. You picked a great time to dive back in, and you picked the absolute best system!
These videos are so wholesome and honest! I love it.

@@snagireddy3283 You aren't wrong. Which is why I'm excited to play it then once I do, I get bored, it's like watching a movie twice.
Same!!! I remember the PS2 I would play for hours. Now I can only play 20 mins and I get over it quick.
Thank you for your service. Welcome back!
Make sure you have extra PS5 controllers. The battery runs out sooner than you realize. 😅

All good bro. Welcome back. You picked a good time to get back into it. Some excellent experiences sense then.

I played on the nes first those times were magical. Now playing gt7vr my kid self could never imagine such a thing it's incredible.

The fact that you got Last of Us the 1st one. Man it's one of the greatest games/story's created!
That series and Red Dead 2 will forever be the G.O.A.T.s
GenXer here .. yea also started with Atari, NES, Genesis, PS1 and really slowed once life started to hit .. I casually game now mainly on PC and emulation of old school 2D games
Those games will NEVER get old to me. I still love Contra, and will never pass up an opportunity to play Mrs. PacMan. Lol!
Last of us part 1 & part 2 are some of my favorite games of all time
I'm not ready to play Pt.2 yet. My emotions are still in shambles from Pt.1! Lol!
@@NewStuffTV1 but I do want to recommend you play Death Stranding it is one the most relaxing, breathing taking, over the top experiences I've played. And the Soundtrack just compliments the whole experience

What happened? Was there a divorce and now you're allowed to play video games again? Lol
Lol! No divorce... Just life. I had a kid, wife, work, etc. Then for years I was super focused on building my businesses so I never thought about games. In recent times I've been able to kick back, relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor over those 20 years.
Try the PC 😂
I did one. That's when I discovered PC gamers are an elite species of human beings.
Lol
