Is this the final boss battle?

Since having children, my video gaming time has decreased drastically. And the majority of my gaming time is spent:

Playing Angry Birds while taking a dump

Playing Candy Crush Saga on Facebook whilst on a conference call

Yelling at my son to stop dicking around and move his Skylander closer to mine so I can keep moving through the level

Other than the occasional Humble Bundle I have purchased probably only 3 games for myself in the last year.  I haven't had XBL Gold in 2 years. But, as a huge fan of the GTA series, I'm obviously planning on picking up GTA V in a few days. I'm very excited about it - last night I popped in GTA4 just to relearn the controls and get a feel for the gameplay, after taking a several-years hiatus from the game.

I didn't have as much fun as I expected.

I've been playing video games since I got the NES in 1986. I formed great real-world relationships with people from 2old2play and City of Heroes, and even had some incredible opportunities come from those relationships. Gaming was always a huge part of my life. 

So while there's no question I'll be buying GTA V, and I expect to like it, I kind of wonder if this is it. I'll invest whatever time I can into that game (late at night when the kids are asleep), but after that, will I be spending any amount of time gaming any more? In other words, is GTA V the big boss battle of my gaming life?
