I'm getting older and responsibilities are piling on with each passing month. My free time is limited. The satisfaction I got out of beating a game is completely non-existent now. I have no patience for getting stuck, whether it be from a difficult enemy encounter or a puzzle I have to look up the solution for. But I still have an appreciation for the worlds, stories, and characters that the video game medium has given to me over the years. Ever since I started going through "game movies" on YouTube, where the entire narrative of any given game is laid out intricately completely hassle-free for the viewer to sit back and experience with a cold beverage...yeah, no way I'm going back. I'll hop on to play a multiplayer game every now and again if a few of my old buds are up for it, but being able to just experience a video game while someone else does all the work is just infinitely better than having to play it myself. There's a reason people clamor for shorter games nowadays. No one has the time to bother with these bloated experiences anymore. Just give me the cutscenes, buddy. That's all I need. Thank god for game movies on YouTube.
