Am I too old to get that same GTA magic again?

I was in 8th grade when GTA III dropped and it blew my mind. Vice City is still my favorite, that 80s vibe was just perfect. San Andreas, IV, V, all great in their own ways. But here I am now, 40 years old, and I'm wondering if I'm chasing something that can't be caught again.

RDR2 was the last game that truly hooked me. I've played other stuff since, but nothing that made me feel that invested. When GTA V came out I was 25, a completely different person. Now I'm looking at the GTA 6 pre-order page and that $100 digital Ultimate Edition is staring back at me. Old school me is hesitant about dropping that much on a digital copy, but it's GTA, you know? I'm probably gonna buy it anyway.

I guess I'm just curious if anyone else in their late 30s or 40s feels the same. Can a game still hit you the way Vice City did when you were a teenager? Or is that just nostalgia talking?
