nick:unrealweapon @ Melvin
age 24
reason?

as age goes up, gaming mood goes down.

last time i used to play the entire night before going to school, now to do that is a feat. and is definitely suicide to do that when i am currently working at this point of time.

however, i am looking forward to a few games before retiring myself completely from the gaming world,

RE5,GOW5 and FFXIII and VS.

to retire is easy, just dun surf the gaming news anymore.. after that, will convert my gaming to movie setup..

and definitely quit myself from this sub forum ..

Wow... two gamers retiring... means have to clear my friendlist...

kobe8bryant - you so young you want to retire? Are you sure you are not coming back?

unrealweapon - I get your meaning... even though I am past 30, I still have that feeling of stopping... getting very annoyed in COD:WAW now in Solo Campaign...

Nope, me not retiring any time soon. Pushing 30+, married, with a kid, it's the only thing that keeps me sane when work stress gets bad.

Besides, it's cheaper than going out for entertainment, I get to switch off the machine to play with my son, and like anything else, moderation is key. I'm hoping to still be alive when my son's generation gets his PS45 or Xbot9800.

Then I can say stuff like "when I was yer age I didn't have thought sticks!"

Huhu, won't retire at all.

When I was a kid, I was hampered by limited funds.

Now when I'm working I can buy any games I want

First you insult my intelligence, now you mock me for being poor eh?

Kaya leh la buy any games you want

Damn, kaya leh lah kena 3ROD

/cabutz

Woah... that's deep.

MB retired after my kids is an expert gamer like his old daddy...

anyway still 20-an...& still got plenty game to play...
rite now kinda lazy 2 playback my previous games after i register with new MY PSN id

I'm 28. Haven't thought of retiring from gaming at the moment. But previously, there are a lot of times where i've said to myself: "this is it, i will retire this year", but eventually i've got attracted into gaming again and again. So, i don't know when i'll retire... maybe next gen? the gen after that?....

i have also been struck by 'retiring' moments like this a few times.once when in PMR.thinking "after this no more playing PS1,PC games.focus in SPM.one week after PMR results,straight go buy PS2. then I got in University.thinking less playing games,try to find other hobby..then early this year bought PSP. then after purchasing PSP,I tell to myself that this will be the last gaming-related item for me..yet then again,i'm going to buy a ps3 this december.

i'm not retire but take a break for a while coz too busy la right now...

Replace your PSP with a PS3 and that's my story.

bro still young 18... hehe too young to quit... u study.. got no time.. sure got time hahaha... u sure find some tasty title that will poke your eye and u sure will find those snake with super power ultra poison to bring u back to gaming world.. i think the word retire is not the right word... its better call taking days off of gaming world...

ive been gaming for alot of years now and sure sometime i have the feeling want to stop but alot of time i have the feeling ive got nothing to play.. lol.. cant imagine when will the time come.....any way gonna turn 28 soon...

haha.No use retire now if you are like me.ost probably u'll want to get back gaming at certain point..don't force it loh.when the time comes you'll stop playing or lose interest without realizing it.maybe.

Who say he is retiring? He wanted to buy Valkyria Chronicles now... chuckle...

i..will..not...stop..gaming...

retire ? I don't think I ever will. Once a gamer, always a gamer

Reaaaally ka want to retire ?

Final Fantasy XIII
God Of War III
Killzone 2
Gran Turismo 5
Halo IV
GTA IV: Something Something (You know it's coming!)
Tekken 6
Something from Team ICO
Next MGS...

Those are just a few of what's to come in the following years

the only way to stop / quit gaming is get a life.. seriously, gaming suk ur $ alot.. so the best way is stop surfing gaming sites/buying mags and come to this sub forum.

recently i got back to my PS1 games, ahem from the net and burned.. after awhile, i got quite bored. PS3 downgrade to PS1

PS2 got no games to play..

PS3 LBP is darn hard .. my brain go @@. darn

PC games still waiting for a good buy.

sometimes i ask myself, the same thing happens all of the time, FPS is a FPS, RPG is an RPG, all games are the same.. just a diff story..

and got no time to play at all, either focus on something constructive or play games..
