I may have missed it but what games do you like? If you're knocking on 40 like me im more into the survival crafting and things these days.
Try Indie games - Subsistence / 7 days to die / stranded alien dawn / shadows of doubt - check my profile for a list of games i play but really it depends what you like.
I feel exactly the same as you, as do most of the people of my age that I know and are technologically inclined.
The only point of contention I've ever heard is people more inclined to say it was the early 2000's because that was the birth of 3D gaming. Personally I swing the complete other way by saying the games which were innovating with 3D gaming were bad because it was so bad back then (unsurprisingly, they were the first few games to really do it). I've never really liked "3D" personally, it is simply a different medium for me. While other people would not touch anything which isn't, for some reason.
For me the golden age of gaming started mid 80s and is still ongoing.
Meanwhile, the reason why I say it is mid 90's to mid 2000's is because that time became the penultimate time where absolutely everything culminated before getting swept by the 3D era. Every game which wasn't 3D back then were simply the best which had been done yet in term of graphics and in term of resource utilisation, graphic cards and sound cards were getting streamlined to a point you didn't have to hit your head on the wall every single time you wanted to make something work on your computer (or at least the vast majority of the time), etc.
Before you start knocking me off the loop, I did play and experience that era myself too. I'm not just talking out of my hat.
all went down hill since.
Threads in OT have people mostly put their golden age in the mid 00s-mid 10s. But that's mostly because people did not experience the periods before and are only focused on AAA games in the period after.
There is only one thing that is important for me in games: enjoyment. And to this day I play games from every decade since the 80s that I highly enjoy. Every decade had their marvelous and great games, every decade had their progress that gave something to discover, every decade simply delivers a hell of a lot of fun. I quite like how games nowadays have become more of a mixture of genres, for example. I've played amazing games since I started gaming (mid 80s) and up to this day I still do. Whether it's old games or current games.
Which brings me back to things being subjective. People who mainly focus on the techincal aspect will name different time periods than people who simply like certain genres. An RTS fan or an arena shooter fan will have a different golden ages from a battleroyal fan. An old a adventure gamer will have a different golden age from a modern adventure gamer (puzzles are more logical nowadays, though the old ones had charm).
The mid 90s to mis 00s was a nice period. Some of the games on my "most favorite" list are from that time period. But that list also has quite some games from other time periods (even the 20s).
It's the same with "X year was the worst year in gaming". Yes, yes, every year has been the best and the worst year in gaming simultaneously.
It's all subjective. Which is fine, btw. Different people have different strokes.
Edit: I'll add that to this day Alley Cat and Prince of Peria (original) are two of my all-time favotire games that I had on 5¼ inch floppies.
As a single player gamer who dislike the microtransactions trend I still have loads of games to play.
There are some games out there though that are pretty decent with developers who do it out of passion but they never receive a big enough playerbase to become major studios that can implement their visions, everyone is busy playing the same games for the past 10 years.
I probably gamed too much to be honest, nothing can impress anymore. But the things I hoped to see implemented in the future and a child gamer has never really arrived, things have just got fancier graphics but way less depth.
Another thing that puts me off as a multiplayer gamer is that most of these games are just around for a year or two before the studio release the next one or the game dies.
There's no longevity or sense of accomplishment, everything you do is for nothing.
I wish games were made with the intention of being around forever, being worked on and updated instead of just releasing new ones, I wouldn't even mind paying a subscription like World of Warcraft, but they really ruined that game. Should have just stuck with vanilla and expanded on it.
Meanwhile, I have actual arguments and notions to provide for my own reasoning and I purposely do my best to make sure that it is not a question of personal opinion or judgement.
One thing I'll easily agree without retort is that it is very hard to get to a consensus. If only since people are hardly ever talking about the same thing.
If nothing there clicks with you, no idea. They're all pretty interesting.
Your "actual arguments and notions" are merely subjective opinions, though. Your view on how it was before 3D is just that, a subjective opinion.
But as I said before, what is a golden age for people is subjective. And you just agreed on that, so thank you.
Honestly, it depends on the game. I rarely find games I get get into like that these days, but I still enjoy games that I play for a short period then off to something else. It is all about personal preference though and not really about gaming in general.
I just find some games draw me in more so then others and that isn't really a bad thing. I'll play a game that draws me in, when I have time to be drawn in, and a game that only draws me in for a short period when I only have a short amount of time.
Starfield will likely be one to draw me in, as many open world Bethesda games tend to do, so I know I am looking forward to that one. While Diablo 4 I can only play in short bursts.
