As I have gotten older and being disappointed in new games often. I really find myself replaying old games I have really liked instead forcing myself to play new games. Yes there is limit there, so overall me gaming time has reduced quite the bit.

Games you know are known quantities. You know what they're going to be like and you know how much time you need to invest in them.

Sometimes I look at a new game and wonder how long I'm going to be stuck in cutscenes and tutorials and if it's really worth risking my precious time.

I prefer to play new games, usually experiencing a game for the first time is better than replaying another one (assuming it's a good game, of course).

That said, play whatever you want, if you want to replay something, you don't have to stop doing it to force yourself to play something new. Games are entertainment, not an obligation.

These days I rather prefer to play new games but looking at this year I mostly end up playing Remasters/Remakes of old games. So I'm not sure what is the correct vote here.

 

[Danjin44]

I do both, also as gotten older I honestly get rarely disappointed by newer games because I played games long enough to know what I enjoy.

I can't smoke on reggie, so pardon my bluntness:

I see past the prettiness of new games, so I got trouble trusting.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

Nah man, hear me out. Old games... But new to you! I know the concept is

 

[IAmRei]

i'm playing both, but more often, replaying old games, especially my backlog is long : ))

The next thing digital stores have to tackle better is discoverability and curation.

There's good stuff out there that I know some people here would like, but I can understand the frustration of not wanting to browse around a store for those good experiences.

The easier decision in that moment would be to just sit back and say that all of it is not worth looking for.

Could be an OT on here AA and A games of the year, honorable mentions, etc.

...probably is already?

Why not both, im playing Star wars galaxies(restoration) and Dune Awakening, and also Death Stranding right now.

 

[yogaflame]

After DS2 which Im still a long way to go and especially I want to achieve platinum, I will replay stellar blade for the new dlc. And I might try my replay some of my old Ps3 games along with finishing a few ps3 backlogs.

With the amount of posts here and elsewhere online that negatively paint almost all modern games, those threads aren't enough or simply aren't being looked at.

I'm not saying everyone is doing this for the same reasons either. I know that some are doing it because they are simply lacking the curation and discovery and they don't want to bother doing it themselves, which is completely understandable as we start to get over 100 games a year (this is without counting asset flips and quickly made games)

New games. I've been playing games for 30 years and there are like 2 or 3 i could see myself replaying now.

 

[Labadal]

I mix it up for the best of both worlds.

 

[ClanOfNone]

While I still buy new games, I'd guess that the majority of my actual playtime is older titles.
God bless the digital age which has given me access to my faves from the past without having to keep old hardware.

 

[hemo memo]

New games. No time for replaying games.

 

[Hudo]

Depends. I've gotten picky with new games since they are more expensive than they used to be. Which means I am playing fewer new games and return more often to older games. I've got no problems if they want to price games at 100€. But they better be really fucking good and work without requiring months of patching.
