| same, grew out of playing video games at last, it's a good thing. GTA V is free on some online game store but I don't feel like taking it lmao |
| I think it's totally normal. I didn't play for years (the first three/four years of university for sure and I didn't miss it at all) than I was again into it when I got the chance to buy a ps4. It's normal to lose interest in things - for example, I just recently started to watch anime again after years of absolutly indifference for the medium -. It all depends on the period: maybe you're just too tired to play, you have to do something else, you just don't have time or maybe you just want to spend your time in a different way. It's not that games are becoming more boring than usual. Also, the more you grow the more you start to do things with moderation: so don't worry and just don't play if you don't want to. I'm again into gaming - as I said - but I can not touch a game for months (expecially if I'm tired and I don't have a lot of free time), it's totally normal. You'll regain interest eventually, and If it's not it's also fine. |
Usenu said: Now when I think of playing anything I feel like vomiting  a) I think you might be thinking about it too seriously. It's just vidiya. You just play them when you feel like it. You can also have other hobbies, it's completely normal and actually healthy. b) As I said above, it's better to have several hobbies, if you just game, it's easy to get burnt out. Especially if you atop of having only a single hobby you have no other outlets, like work or studying hard. c) Playing different genres and games helps. Playing more experimental or indie games also helps. |
| I say it's more to do with the market than anything else. I could play a game rather than read but there's legitimately nothing that I want to play. |
 |
| most of the good games were made early in the industry and then they just pumped out sequels, remakes, and copycats. its hard to find a good game that doesn't feel like something you've already played a thousand times before. |
| When I get bored , I just open Gta SA and kill some cops with minigun. |
| I use to play a lot of games but now I only play one, SSBU. But I just play it for the sake of winning |
| ya'all ever heard someone come out to you and say "yeah, you know what, I have stopped reading books. Literature is done." |
| same, guess thats just me getting older |

Usenu said: It's been 4 months since I played any game. At first, I thought I was just burned out and got away from games for some time. Now when I think of playing anything I feel like vomiting. Yesterday I've seen cyberpunk 2077's gameplay video on youtube and for the first time in 4 months I got hyped. Maybe It's not me but the games that got repetitive and boring? What do you think? You feel like vomiting? Why do I even lurk this fucking forum. |
| Go ahead, reply. I'm not going to read it. |
Usenu said: Now when I think of playing anything I feel like vomiting. What do you think? I agree you might wanna try different genres. How about try playing some +18 visual novels? It might still make you vomit but you will vomit white stuff .... from your bottom instead. I had a feeling this type of vomiting will feel good instead of bad. Let me know if you get well from sick after trying it. |
| IMO Games suck so you should just continue watching anime and reading manga. |
 |
| I'm basically burnt out right now as well and just waiting for cyberpunk 2077 |
 |
| Lol, all those people saying they grew out of gaming. The key to eternal mental youth is to never grow up, do shit young people do, enjoy it and keep doing it as long as you can. There will be so many games I'll be playing when I'm in retirement home. |

| I easily bored with game. Nowadays i think video game is just the same, RPG is like this, MOBA is like this, the feature is almost the same, just a little tweak here and there. And thats not really for me, need something fresh and dynamic or i will drop that game. I just finished a game, because of this Lockdown, i start at 2017 (3 years and it barely hit 70 hours of gaming time) and i dont feel the hype again watching the credit screen etc. Right now i go with sport game. Sometime i get bored too, but i like sport so that's not really a problem. The only game i played on almost daily basis. even just open it for some minutes maybe you should find your "type" of game. I realize that gaming is not a mission. something like getting to this level. get this item. finish the story. discover all scene. Gaming is "for fun". If you feel bad playing video game then you are doing it wrong or playing the wrong game. or maybe gaming is not really for you, just do what is fun for you Cheers~ |

| 99% of people who say this only play mainstream crap and don't bother to try anything outside of what casuals online talk about. |
| Did a gaming pause while I had college going on, but the lockdown made me play some Minecraft and Slither.io again. I think I'll try Elsword next. |

| It's the game. Personally, I yearn for great games that flow in a flawless fashion of my taste but most even though good titles are dull in gameplay and/or story. Part of it is mood but it comes from disappointment of playing something that is mediocre to expectation. For years I've stopped regularly watching anime and reading manga, over gaming until a few months ago. Now it's almost the opposite. I have a hard time continuing one of the many games (100+) I have because they're boring. I have a few that are great but I gotta get through them where they get good or simply start them. I'm just not at the mood to immerse myself on just one game tho at the moment. I'm back to marathoning anime instead. |
| You have to play the good stuff like Yakuza 0, then your motivation will come back |
| There is still good games comes up problem is at you. I think you are just burn out bit too much maybe 4 month break is not enough. I stopped playing for a year as well , been in your situation i tought no game was appealing to me but now im back at it again. |
 |
| I'm sure that you'll find a more fulfilling pastime sooner rather than later. |
 |
| I had this empty feeling after playing Witcher 3..it takes time but we come back to gaming..eventually..meanwhile try to indulge in something else..maybe getting bored by the other mediums will take you back to gaming.. |
 "Not everyone who works hard is rewarded. But, all those who succeed have worked hard" |
| After learning the length to which modern games go to manipulate their users, I have basically lost all interest. It is a shame, but on the flip side I have so much more time on my hands. |
| I think it's just a matter of going with whatever stands out to you the most. Not good to try and force it. Don't focus on what others say you should or shouldn't play...I've found that's a surefire way to kill any enjoyment you might have gotten out of something. |
| I sometimes get this way with anime or games too You can't be firing on all cylinders at all times, sometimes you gotta chill and try something new innit. Doesn't help that it's been a generally kinda rough generation for video games, though we did get some landmark titles still (Witcher 3, Nier Automata, Breath of the Wild, and one of my personal favorites Forza Horizon 4) Basically though, don't force it Just play games when you want to again, and don't overthink it Cyberpunk 2077 will be rad~ |

| ive been addicted to hollow knight recently |
 |
| I used to play a lot of competitive shooters but I don't have the time anymore to actually maintain any real skill. So I just stopped altogether. |
| If you're looking for something original and unique try Outer Wilds. It might look boring at first but once you get a bit into it you can literally not stop playing until you solved it. |
| At some point, you kind of see the man behind the curtain and the act of playing feels like a journey to predetermined destination. Most games are designed to waste time by abusing people's need for fulfilling tasks to feel productive rather than simply being fun and I just have zero patience for that anymore. |
| I'm not giving up gaming anytime soon. It's honestly one of the few ways I have to work through any issues I have mentally since it's really therapeutic to take out all my frustrations in a way with no repercussions. Also wanted to say feeling like vomiting just from thinking about gaming seems like an overreaction. I don't know shit about you, but there might be something else going on if just thinking about playing anything causes you to gag... |

| I don't know never had it, despite spending almost 12k hours on steam games... But I do lose motivation for games aswell not to that extend obviously. I guess you're right with the type of games, if you'd liked CP77 maybe you should try some shooters/fps or maybe more of open-world/rpg games? If it's shooter I don't know maybe the new Call of Duty which will come out in 28th will be interesting for ya? When for open-world/rpg or something similar maybe try singleplayer for Mount and Blade II Bannerlord [than go for mods]. That's all what I can recommend so far. |
