Absolutely. I began to realize that i'm just not the target audience for nowadays games stuff anymore a couple of years ago. You gotta accept that. Nowadays crowd rather likes shiny graphics, boom boom sound, and gazillions of gameplay options, which are all very slimmed down, compared to games where you had less, but deeper options. It's all more "flat" now. IMO.
It's the same for the even older generation. I recently played Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. While i like the higher demand, at some point in the game, i simply stood there, unable to know what to do next, because the game didn't give me the slightest hint on what to do next. Already the generation of games i grew up with took you by the hand more than the earlier generation games. Good or bad, i guess it's a matter of balance. Nowadays games take you too much on the hand IMO. You gotta have at least a bit of a demand of learning the games by yourself.

I just don't think it looks interesting. I know that's a subjective judgement, but the feeling I most remember from Dishonored (1 or 2) was just being bored. Like, ennui-type bored. There's no pizzazz to any of their stuff, no verve, nothing that really makes it special. This doesn't look particularly different. I would love to be wrong.

I'm a year from 30 and feel the same way. This is a game that I should be excited about but I just can't muster the enthusiasm. It just looks like the same tired corridors and cannon fodder I've gone through hundreds of times before with snazzier graphics.
Nioh and Bloodborne proved I can still get excited about / engaged by games, but most new stuff just doesn't appeal.

Pop Culture was best ?
This was the UK top 100 of the year I was twelve:
01 Brotherhood Of Man - Save Your Kisses For Me
02 Pussycat - Mississippi
03 Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart
04 Abba - Fernando
05 Abba - Dancing Queen
06 Chicago - If You Leave Me Now
07 Dr Hook - A Little Bit More
08 Showaddywaddy - Under The Moon Of Love
09 Tina Charles - I Love To Love
10 The Real Thing - You To Me Are Everything
If you think this is the best that pop culture ever had to offer, you should lay off the LSD. :)

I'm not excited for this, either, but I paid no mind to either Dishonored game before they came out but enjoyed them greatly once I did.
I enjoyed the first one a lot more, though, partially because it so highly capitalized on the Thief / Deus Ex nostalgia. With the 2nd one (and even the DLC for the first) it was just like, ok... this is fun, but I got my nostalgia fix and am ready for some new ideas now. I don't need more of the same.

Whelp, even when I was a kid I didn't drool or go ga-ga over every video game release. On the other hand, I'm 35 and still enjoy many types of games quite a lot, and unless reviews and general concensus dickslap it to oblivion, I'll give it a try and find my enthusiasm soon enough. :)

How old were you when Shocking Blue were popular? If I were Dutch, I'd probably consider that the best year then.

A demo has been announced for the end of the month...for PS4 and XB1. You would think Arkane would want to reassure people on PC who remember the sketchy performance of Dishonored 2 on release.
TIME TO PREORDER BABY! :D

I'm pretty much buying it whenever it fits into my budget, hopefully pre-release, because it's fucking Arkane. When they make a game that I don't want to replay 800 times the first year it's out I'll stop pre-ordering their stuff, I promise.

It's your money, but you do know that pre-orders funnel that cash more towards Bethesda than Arkane, right?
