At what age did you lose the ability to get absorbed in a game for hours on end?

26, when my back/legs hurt if I'm sitting for too long.
I used to play 20 hour long sessions in WoW with breaks for bathroom/water only. Now it's 2h max before I have to quit.

28 and I just got done playing Kenshi for 7 hours. Did the normie phase of hanging out, going to the bar, etc but now I have a good job where I only work 3 days a week, bought a house and live a comfy life. All I do most of the week is go to the gym, play video games, and build/paint gunpla. Occasionally I use tinder to fuck but I have no intention of getting married or having kids.

I'm 28 in August and I'm staying up for Shadowbringers.

0, because i'm not autistic retard

Probably around 16. Since then I’ve been crippled with never ending anxiety. I don’t mean “boo hoo I’m afraid to talk to people” I mean pulling my hair out and getting cold sweats worrying that my house will burn down or I’ll get in a car accident and stuff almost every waking moment. Life is hell. Whoops tmi haha.

Haven't lost it. I took 4 days off work to play Sekiro. Besides eating and sleeping, that's all I did when it came out

23

Still do at 24, but it depends on the game and my mood.

29 and can easily still play all day

schizophrenia is comfy

Until recently this is why I couldn't sleep on Christmas day. "Haha, the happiest day of the month with a family gathering, comfy music, food and seeing the kids be happy could be all torn apart if someone with a gun breaks through our giant front window and kills us all."

31 and haven't lost it, you just need to keep a diverse skill set alive that isn't lazy. i.e RTS, franatic RTS, simulator, FPS, exploration, puzzle, reflex intense, adventure.
In other words, focus on instinctual reflex, memorization, team leader, complex situation solving & test of patience.
Also never forgot play to be excellent, not perfect, finish your catalogue anons. You replay to achieve a better performance, and select a core game to focus at a time and achieve some sort of made up goal to re-evaluate you aren't shit at that/make that mistake anymore.

I thought I did but I just haven't played interesting(to me) game. Once I did I got absorbed just like I used to when I was underaged

it was around when i got my PC, so like 16/17 maybe? i still do manage to do it occasionally, got pretty into Outer Worlds last month, but its few and far between

21, depends on my mood.

I often go 6-7 months without touching video games, just to binge 12+ hr/day for a week or two. Then lose interest.

Recently been instantly rejected from nearly every job I've applied for, slipped back into binging to cope.

34 still haven't lost it, wizard so it's a double

Try Total War

18

Wasn't an age, more like was a game. Star Ocean V pretty much killed open world for me.

32, haven't lost it yet. Suck on it nerds.

22 now. thought i lost all interest 2 years back, but on a whim i brought my DS along with me to college. played the shit out of HG/SS during finals week.

recently just finished the Souls trilogy too. can't say i'll ever lose the spark; games are my first love, gay as it sounds. but like the others who replied, it's also been hard for to juggle gaming with life

Somewhere around 25, I'd say.
As a teenager I did have long playing sessions, like spending an entire night on Dwarf Fortress or something.
I'm 32 now, and I get bored with a game after an hour or so.

30,
it is still there but I can only focus on a game if nothing more important is going on. This is why I only play games when I have "earned" it. I mostly play single player games theses day and rather spend my money on vacations instead buying stuff fully priced on release.The people I know who completely stopped playing, were mostly normalfags who played MMO's and CounterStrike and are now spending their time wage cucking,netflix and posting stuff on facebook. Some of them are still playing the newest falvour of the month meme game every day. Those same people once made fun of people who play games.

this is probably what i need to do. i often play games when im avoiding responsibility but i guess its still in my head and i cant get into it. is this why the switch usually happens when people start getting towards high school finals and beyond? you dont get many stress free days after that unless youre real organised

24, in other words now. Except when I'm on tramadol, then I can play for hours until I lay on my bed in a heavenly gaze reaching cloud 9.

There are treatments for that, user

When I was 20 and I moved out and gained responsibilities.
I maybe play for 30-60 minutes twice a week.
If I spend a day playing videogames, its once or twice a year because it's a day when I've done all my housework, paperwork, socialised with close friends and family and I'm not too tired.

I'm 32 and just finished a 4 hour session with my wife on resident evil 5. Now we are going to go get some food and return for a just dance cardio session. Vidya is infinitely interesting when you have someone to share it with

she's gonna get crumbs on her boobs!

College

get a load of this loser

I just spent 8 hours playing muse dash saaand a day before 7 hours on crash racing nitro fueled. It's great cos I havnt had that focus in a long time.

26, haven't yet.

lol imagine getting owned by your own brain haha

29
single player games? never
multiplayer games about 5 years ago, but mostly for IRL reasons that meant I would get constantly interrupted during matches, so it became unfeasible

23 lost it at 19, big hopes for cyberpunk
DOS2 kept me absorbed but I always had strong feeling of guilt along the way

22 and haven't yet.
Somehow got absorbed into Terraria, I've only played it on multiplayer before so single player on expert mode is fun.

life literally wasted

16 or 17, that is when I became kinda jaded from stress. Doesn't help I have horrible brain fog from muh depression so my reactions/coordination/memory are fucked. I can't be damned to put effort or immerse myself in anything.

>play beamng and automation and cities skylines
>listen to joe rogan or old opie and anthony clips as background sound
>feels like a couple hours passed
>realize i have been playing for 3 days straight with no sleep

and they said time travel is not possible.

>that hand

I don't think I have, but it's much harder now. A part is that having played a million games already, it becomes harder and harder to find something that can feel fresh, new, interesting like before. As a kid even the most garbage of jrpg power of friendship save the world from demons plots seems novel and cool, not so much after 100 times.

Another part is that "growing up" is not a meme. If you manage through work, college etc to talk more to people and get more used to people, and find a social circle you for in enough, you will start liking it more and more and games in general will lose some appeal. Of course I am not saying every game sucks, I still play them lots, but I just found also other interests and my time is limited. This, couples with the previous point, makes it harder to find many games to seriously get absorbed in like I used to.

But it can happen, sometimes even unexpectedly. For example I always fall for the sex trainer flash games a la akabur, star wars trainer, 4 elements etc. It doesn't last week's or anything, but for q couple of days I'm just immersed and spending hours and hours and the clock is running like mad while I am playing.

Last "serious" game that did this to me is Witcher 3 I think.

This only happens to PS4 users. Try playing on PC.

>...com Head
Capcom Head? And he's bad at sex?

Somewhere between 25-30

I didn't yet, but they stopped making new games that I can get absorbed in for hours on end.
