Ooh, a game post. XD Think about joining my friend's gamer world? I saw you commented on my review, too. Thanks, Nana. <3 If you ever get a ps3, you would probably enjoy Majin. It's very good. :]
Bah. Anyone that says games are for kids or the "younger crowd" don't know anything. That's what my dad thinks, too. He thinks video games have corrupted youth these days, and that we're all zombies that can't communicate "normally" and stuff. I told him that for me, video games are the same as metal detecting and gardening is to him, a hobby. Everyone is allowed to have a hobby, and if it's video games, then it's video games! Age doesn't matter!
As for why you don't have the newest systems, it all makes sense, and I would definitely be distraught, too. ;__; I am just lucky that my brother...as annoying as he is, has his obsession with games lol. Because of that, I was able to get his old ps3 (when he got the newer version) for a lower price, and I basically borrow (and eventually pay for...since he always makes me pay...) his games. And for Christmas, getting the 3DS was a great gift. But since you've been so busy with work and all of that, and money is hard to come by, it isn't easy to just go out and buy new games and systems. :( I hope that some time you'll be able to though.
FF7 was one of my first obsessions as well haha. Except I didn't play it but watched my bros play. And I enjoyed every second...and I gained my first...ok, second, video game crush ever on Cloud lol and then Sephiroth. XD My first was Sonic the Hedgehog lol!!
It isn't the easiest to find games with great stories and gameplay, but they are certainly out there. :3 Playing games...it's a lot like reading a good book except that you're making the decisions for the characters. I know...that's how I've been writing my stories. I think of them as games lol. When I get to a point where I have a few ideas on where to go, I need to think "which decision should I make? If I do this, what will happen?" And that's like making certain decisions in RPG's and such lol.
I know how you feel with the lack of time and money thing... I'm really slow at playing through games though, I have a couple I've borrowed from a friend and I am nowhere near finishing any of them XD
I am also fond of games with a story, they make me want to carry on and discover more. Even when the main mechanics of the game are random battles, like with Final Fantasy etc. Now if only I could defeat that boss. Hmm.
