Yep - and relating to original topic (Gaming)

Same with me. But my issue is, the last game I have memories like that for are Halo 2. Once the online era began, with updates, patches, DLC, and online co-op, new memories have not been made. The simple joy is gone.

I feel like that's a "you" issue and not an issue with gaming today. You can ignore all that shit and just play games. It's what I try to do.

The Witcher 3 has given me that joy. I think that's part of why I like it so much--it reminds me of playing Ocarina of Time and Morrowind when I was young. I got sucked into those games as a kid, and The Witcher 3 recaptures that feeling in a way that nothing has literally since Morrowind.

Dishonored gave me that joy. Horizon did too. Hell, even Mass Effect Andromeda did.

Sure, couch co-op is harder to come by, if that's specifically what you're talking about, but modern games are filled with joy. It's hard to not be jaded (believe me, I know--just look at my last post about ABZU, or most of my posts about Destiny), but games are just as filled with joy and wonder as they always have been.
