Definitely our age and not the games....

LAst time we can sit in from of the TV and try to beat the game and restarting thousands of times...but now....we no longer have the attention span and the time to do it...hence my stack of 20 over games for my PS3 that I have yet to finish...

Because of the lack of time and commitment we can no longer finish the game like we used to do...

When a new game was announced (like Psersona 3 FES) I jumped liked a small kid coz I liked the game so much...but I really can't think of myself playing and investing the game for 70+ hours to finish it as right now I can only spend about 1-2 hours per day and that is if I'm lucky...

well the last game i rmb finishing was mgs 3 ... i even gave up completing god of war 2 (it's abt 90% completion) ... i simply have got not no time when i was working back then til i gave away my consoles to my nephews ...now studying oso no time to invest so much in games sigh...

but time is not my onli reason..i felt i have less appreciation on the games, especially the sequels that look similar..god of war 2 to me is similar to the original..but 1 game i muz complete is the MGS series, as every installment is so "fresh" to me..i've been playing games since primary school time, now i'm 23...

so for me i dun think games r getting more difficult, although they r more complex now..i'm trying to get myself back into the game arena when i'm able to get my hands on ps3 (surely MGS 4 the motivator)...muz save money.....

Well, last time there were less games, so we commit more to the few ones we have. Nowadays there are way too many games, many platforms and consoles, so our total commitment to a single game is totally thin one of my first games was Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. I discovered every single secret in the game manually and played it over a dozen times. Nowadays, I can't even play a game up to 10% before getting bored. The last time I finished a game was.... uh... can't remember. As we grow older, we have better things to do than spend 14 hours a day on a game. But we still play, yeah.

As someone put it: we don't stop playing when we grow old, we grow old when we stop playing. Oh it's so cliche.

It actually become easier now cause you can save at half progress..

Back in micro genius day where can save one.
Must play straight 2 to 3 hours to beat a game.
Unless some game which can input password to continue your progress like the Rockman series.

yeah in that sense, old games are hard to "finish". I've never beaten mario on my micro genius.
