Diablo 4 made me say 'stop, I'm too old for this' despite sinking hours into Diablo 2.
The episode begins with a humorous skit mimicking a game show, transitioning into the main topic introduced via a listener question from Discord. The hosts, including Erwan Cario and chroniqueurs, respond to the query: 'What game made you say I'm too old or old for this nonsense?' One host explains their shift from games like Diablo 2, where they invested endless hours, to Diablo 4, which they finished but refused to grind further, citing a lack of time. They prefer games with clear beginnings, middles, and ends, avoiding free-to-play models and service games that demand daily engagement. Another host discusses losing the ability to immerse in time-consuming games like Crimson Desert due to work and other interests, noting how younger years allowed for deeper dives. A third host critiques post-apocalyptic games for portraying gangs as inherently evil without reason, arguing this reflects a pessimistic ideology about human nature. The conversation touches on competitive online games like Fortnite, where skill gaps and practice time feel prohibitive with age. A specific anecdote about playing Marathon describes being quickly killed by skilled players, highlighting how reflexes and familiarity diminish over time. The hosts acknowledge their privileged position as game testers but emphasize personal evolution in gaming preferences. They conclude by asking listeners to share their own experiences, promoting engagement on Discord and Blue Sky, and teasing the next episode.
