Growing up:

• playing Perfect Dark either story coop or battle simulator with my best friend or brother
• getting totally immersed in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask
• Silent Hill 2 and 3 with best friend
• playing Star Craft online until way too late, also with best friend
• not only joy maybe, but FFX was very memorable for me
• organising Xbox lan parties at our house playing 16 player death matches in Halo

Adult:

• Getting a Switch totally re-ignited my gaming passion. Having a full time work and family it is hard to find the time to sit down and focus on a game, the Switch with its quick sleep/on/off and tv/mobile feature changed that. I felt like a teenager again when I lost track of time (usually late at night) while playing Breath of the Wild and the Xenoblade series
• FFXIV and getting immersed once again in a game world

Haha, last big title to be ported to the Switch, isn’t it. Now I’m off to go listen to the ost.

Was it you who posted rotated screenshots of Murderess from Xenoblade X back on Reddit?

Same here. A Link to the Past feels like it defined Zelda games for me. OoT too.

My thought exactly!

I can maybe squeeze in an hour of gaming every third day if I am efficient (work and household stuff) and lucky. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just there are many games I want to experience so I have to be very selective.

True, especially if you grind for gear/glamour (or just go fishing) hours fly by pretty fast.

I play mostly for the main story right now, feel like I need to get into whatever is going on and unlock areas etc.

I’m on the free trial still, maybe 50 hours in and having fun :)

At 800+ hours I think i would also be tired of a game!
