I'm not sure about the rest of you here, but I tend to game in mainly one genre at a time. If I get in a certain mood, say for strategy games, and I typically play four or five games in a row before getting slightly burned out on them.
I might play a different genre here and there, but I usually gravitate towards the given genre I'm in the mood. Even if I make myself try and play a game because I know it will be fun, it usually doesn't hold my interest if I'm not in the mood for it. For example, I have a variety of strategy games in my library. I know they are a ton of fun. Civ 2 and Civ 3 are some of my favorite games. 4X games can also be a ton of fun.
But I haven't been in the mood for them for whatever reason. I tried forcing myself to play Age of wonders 1, because I've had fun with it before, but to no avail. Even if I brought the heavy hitters like Civ 2 and HoMM 3, I still don't think I'd be intrigued.
It's kind of a strange development, and it never happened to me when I was young. I have a feeling that having access to so many choices really tends to mess with what I enjoy on a day to day basis. Right no I'm all into blobbers. Probably will be for a few months. Who knows what the next genre will be?
Anyone else have similar experiences?
