I got this topic from a similar one on neogaf. How have you changed as a gamer going into next-gen? How how this generation (PS3/360/Wii/PC) shaped you as a gamer?
-I can longer stand QTE (quick time events)
-I am tired of all the hand holding that current games do. Plus, how easy some games have gotten to master.
-Stories have started to matter to me more than anything.
-I have grown tired of FPS outside of mainly Halo
-RPG's have become my go to genre
-All the sequels need to stop. Time for some new IPs which I think developers are holding off on until next-generation

-I'm more open minded to multiplayer
-I'm more patient in playing games all the way through and more into doing side quests

-I play old games and wonder how I was so good at them when now I cant even get past the first level.
-I play online a lot more.
-I appreciate a good cast and story.
-I will stop in a game to admire the graphics if something looks amazing.
-I really struggle to pay full price for games when I used to buy them around release for full price constantly.

-I actually play FPS games now
-I play online now
-I have all around become more skilled at games(forcing cheats and online play really helped in that area)

- RPGs are nowhere near as good as they used to be and focus too much on visuals over a comelling story
- I am completely burned out on military FPS games, no matter how good they are
- Fighting games no longer appeal to me
- I am now awful at side scrolling games
- Lower difficulty levels have made me impatient when playing games and making progress
- I rarely play online anymore after experiencing playing online for several years. The more popular it became, the more unberable it became.
- New original titles are far too rare

- I've become far more discerning of my gameplay time. That's as much a result of my diminishing free time as anything else. - I got REALLY into turn-based strategy games like Civilization. That's largely a result of Civilization Revolution and Anthony Gallegos. - I now have zero patience for unfairly difficult games/difficulty levels. If it's difficult because I'm not playing well and I can tell I'm getting better at it, that's fine. However, if it's difficult because the enemies have more health, are more accurate than the game lets me,  it. - I'm far more interested in experiencing a game than being challenged by it. - I've finally found a couple turn-based RPGs I like (mostly the Penny Arcade games) - I'm scared for Bioware. Their last few games have only been pretty good, but they haven't had an amazing game since ME2, 3 games ago. - I'm concerned that the prices for downloadable games and content are raising faster than the quality and scale of the game/content is growing. I'm certainly not adverse to paying for stuff, but there haven't been very many XBLA games that cost $15 that I'd say are actually worth that price. - Sequels are OK, but yearly sequels are the best way for me to get burned out on a franchise or concept (see: Guitar Hero, modern military shooters). Of course, I say this and yet there has been a new Halo game every year since 2009 and I've managed to keep interest in it. I'd argue that the games have differed enough to make that work (Halo Wars and ODST are very different from standard Halo experiences and HCEA was a remake) - Like at the wind-down for the last generation, I've gotten back into heavily playing PC games. - I'm done buying Nintendo systems. I've played Wii games less than any system I've ever owned. I appreciate that Nintendo first-party games are good, but they're not for me. - I want more franchises to start doing what was done in Mass Effect, where actions are reflected throughout the series. - I want Fable to become great again. - I want Kinect to become more than a neat gimmick. It has a lot of uses to allow for better navigation/control in games and the dashboard, and it being tacked on 4 years after the 360's launch has made it difficult for developers (both internally and 3rd party) to do anything meaningful. If Kinect isn't bundled in with the next Xbox (if not somehow part of the device), it's dead as a gaming accessory. |

This generation of gaming made me frustrated with console gaming--more specifically the business practices.

-I enjoy DLC games more then CD games.
-I don't mind paying 60 dollars a year for live because the content is worth it.
-I don't play RPG's anymore.
-I will never be as good at FPS games as I was a generation ago. I got old son.

I prefer to play open world games compared to directly story games now. Red Dead Redemption, Saints Row, and Grand Theft Auto took a lot of my time outside of the main stories, just exploring around and causing chaos. I had long play sessions with Red Dead Redemption just shooting it out with the cops. With the PS2, I mostly just played wrestling and skate games, almost exclusively. I'm guessing this has more to do with me growing up and growing away from wrestling than it does the actual games, though
