Yes, my experience is very similar. I do enjoy novels and sagas such as A song of Ice and Fire, but what I enjoy is the accumulation of information (plot, lineages, scheming, conspiracies, etc). It's all abstract. I find myself glancing over most of the descriptions, since they're nothing more than empty filler for me. If I try to play an RPG game now, instead of enjoying the feeling of being inside a new world I'm just eagerly waiting for new plot developments while being frustrated at having to walk through places that the old me would have loved to explore.
