First off, I'm 22, and when I was a teen, I mainly played the PS2. I played Spyro, Driver 2, GTA, etc. didn't really play CoD much, but I know I played the hell out of the PS2 until it crashed. Before I had the PS2, I played Nintendo 64. Mario, and 007 Golden eye when I was like 8 or so.
I eventually got an Xbox 360 when I was 14 or so. I know the 360 had been out for a while and that and the PS3 was still the number one thing. That's when I really got into COD. I think black ops II was out. I played the shit out of it, GTA 4, WAW, and mw2.
I really use to be into games but not so much anymore. They just bore me now, but when I was a teen, I told myself games would never bore me. If a game really didn't grab me and hook me, I would keep playing it for a while to see if it got better. Now, I just stop playing it.
Like I purchased far cry 4 because I absolutely loved 3, and i played it for a little bit, and might have done 5 missions on it. Probably 3 hours of play time, and I haven't touched it sense.
I bought a PS3 during Christmas and about 2 months ago I bought an Xbox one. I've played the PS3 maybe for 5 hours and it is literally just collections dust and its brand new. I get on the Xbox one to only watch movies and tv on Hulu, netflix, and Xbox video. Don't really talk to my friends anymore on Xbox. A lot of them have removed me because we just stopped talking. I currently still have all those consoles. (360, PS3, one, and I even still have my 64 and it still works)
In conclusion, it kinda makes me sad that I don't play games hardly at all anymore. I guess I just grew out of them. Don't really know why either. I literally played games non stop. I was a nerd and was ALWAYS in my room. Lol :p
So what about you guys?

I don't pre-order games anymore either. One time I purchased a game for $65 on the first day it came out, and come to find out, it dropped to like $30 in stores everywhere in like a month. MAN I was pissed off. So I don't buy games right when they come out anymore. I like to wait a bit, unless I REALLY want it. Don't feel that way about many games though anymore anyways.
I'll have to look into that, thanks.

well the first console I played on was the sega mega, I used to play the shit out of sonic until my family got a ps1, from there it was crash bandicoot and tekken. Tekken being one of my first 'violent' games, i used to love tekken 3, especially the bowling extra game bit haha. After that, I got a ps2, which again had crash, but it was also the first time I played GTA, which was GTA SA. I loved this game to bits. My family wasn't that rich, so it wasn't until 2010 that I got a ps3, I was stuck with a ps2, playing GTA SA since, and a few other games such as tekken or NFS MW. On the PS3 I purchased W@W as my first call of duty, I didn't know at the time, but the online even for a beginner was awful. However the zombie mode was something that I really enjoyed, and have played CoD Zombies ever since, back in 2010 I used to be a part of a group/clan which mainly played CoD and FIFA, I wasn't really into sports, so it wasn't long before they stopped playing CoD religiously and moved to Fifa leaving me behind. Now I don't really play any games with anyone apart from GTA, but anything else and its pretty much on my own. Obviously because I got bored of playing the same games (again not wealthy) I just decided to go outside more, go clubbing, partying etc. I do feel like there's still a bit of a 'nerd' in me, I still go to a few gaming cons every now and then, so I hope I still remain a somewhat active gamer. It's truly saddening however that I've basically grown away from gaming, But I have met 1-2 people from online gaming that I still actively talk to till this day, not from this forum but still 
. If I hadn't of updated my ps3, or maybe didn't get banned on blops 1, then perhaps I would of still been close to my old group.
