I'm not sure you exact situation, but I see this a lot in people who have been playing video games for years. They are like heroin addicts chasing that very first time they ever got high. The nostalgia they have for video games in their mind is so powerful that nothing really ever compares to it again.
They totally "like" video games though, so it can't be that they are comparing it to some impossible example, it must be that the game is crap. Mix that in with just having more adult responsibilities, and lacking the energy to deal with large complex games makes people think there is something fundamentally wrong with games these days, when in fact they are just as good as they have ever been.

I think I hate on things too much
I want to change and be more open minded
It’s a struggle, I’ve become too cynical
