I obviously can't be sure about you, but in my case my tastes have crystallized pretty dramatically, and I'm now much harder to please than when I was younger.

One thing that has changed though, is that games in general tend to have much more detailed stories and dialog in a way that just wasn't in the budget or storage space previously. Nothing annoys me more than having to watch a movie when I want to play a game or to jump through hoops just to get to the next chapter of a book. These are very different activities which require very different moods to enjoy.

Yeah, I also got way more picky. I don't see it as a bad thing at all.
