I saw a recent post that 60% of playtime in 2023 was spent on games 6 years or older. What 6+ year old games are you playing? (lemmy.world)

I haven't stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I'm still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches.

I also collect retro games so there is a good bit of time there. If anything I've struggled to find new games that I'd want to play more than something older and cheaper. I just picked up Dark Messiah for like 2 bucks and its amazing, hard to justify a $60-70 purchase when you can find deals like that on older but still great games.

I saw a lot of the playtime goes to still updated online games like Fortnite and Apex, but I wonder if part of it is that as time goes on there is a bigger pool of games to play. Sure there will always be cutting edge graphics and gameplay, but many people wouldnt be able to tell which indie dropped in 2010 and which dropped in 2024.

Just finished a new playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 but that's a mere 4 years old.

Otherwise, a lot of Skyrim, Fallout 3, 4, NV, GTAV replays. And Civilization Revolution for casual, or Bloons TD6 sometimes with the kids.

Have you tried Tale of Two Wastelands? Best way to play Fallout 3! Fallout London also looks cool, and it's coming out this month I believe.

I'd love to but I play my games on XBox. And yes, Fallout London looks glorious - I'll be sad to miss out.
