In times gone past, I would have got up for school, looked at the clock, thought I had, oooh, 15 minutes spare, plug in the console for a quick game.. and then end up late anyway.
Point is, that's just something that never happens with my anymore. I never switch on the PS3 if I've got twenty minutes to kill. If I'm sitting down to play a game I've reserved at least an hour of my day to be sat staring at the screen.
By the time the game loads up, by the time all the credits and sponsors and fuck knows what else loads up it's already eaten up five minutes of my time. And the levels are now lengthy, journey style affairs that you need to reach a significant point to save, never mind watch cut-scenes and story advancing text conversations.
Could be the type of game I play, of course, but now I've found the "time for a quick game" type games are reserved pretty much to smart phone or tablet, not console.
Anyone else found this?
