I would say this describes me. I rarely play new games at launch and tend to play one "new" game per year. And by new I'd say anything that's been out in the last year or two when I play it. Last year it was Days Gone. This year it is Final Fantasy VII Remake. I loved both. I have also spent the last couple years catching up on stuff that's been out a while including Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Inside, Dying Light, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War (first one), Onrush, Silent Hill, Until Dawn, Dead Space, The Walking Dead Season 3. There are more but those are the big hitters.
I just can't keep up with games as they release so I pick them up dirt cheap on sale and have a large library to pick from. As you can see above I played Gears of War for the first time last year. It was great. So were Silent Hill and Dead Space. In fact, Dead Space 2 is my next game after finishing FFVIIR.
I would have skipped new consoles until mid gen upgrades if it wasn't for the fact that the Series X is an emulation beast. While having the ability to play new games on it is nice, I am more excited about emulating everything from the past - NES, SNES, GBA, NDS, Wii, Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 games all centrally located on that bad boy.
All that said - games today are amazing. What Square was able to do with FFVIIR is amazing. I LOVED Days Gone. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy was also great. But I'm in no hurry to play the latest and greatest. In fact, I'm in a phase where I kind of enjoy picking up and playing through "bad" Xbox 360 games - games like Quantum Theory, Fracture, etc. There is just so much out there to play.
I have a soft spot for the 7th generation and before. But it isn't all I play.
