hello,

first off i want to apoligize for any flaws in my english, it is not my first language.

so i have been an avid gamer for as long as i can remember,but about 4 months ago i didnt seem to enjoy myself anymore so i took a very long break from gaming hoping that i would get exited for gaming again but i still cant seem to enjoy myself . the story in a game was always the most important thing for me in a game but i just cant get immersed in the game anymore.

thanks in advance juwez

Difficult one this. I am more a multiplayer so story does not concern me that much. I did find that you quickly get bored when constantly playing games but due to time constraints I can not wait to turn my console on again. What platform did you normally play on? I am sure you will enjoy a game like Last of Us to get you back in gaming.

You don't try to get back into it, you either want to or not. If you want to get back into you wont have to ask how you'll already be gaming.

If you have to force yourself to enjoy something, you're not enjoying it. Why would you want to do something that you find no enjoyment in?

If you're looking for a good story check out a game available in Steam called Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. It's an old one, but honestly the writing and world setting is top notch. You'll have to download a fan made patch to play it but it's well worth it, trust me.

If you enjoyed Tell Tale's Walking Dead, I'd recommend The Wolf Among Us.

  • Wolf Among Us
  • Dragon Age
  • GTA V
  • Watch Dogs
  • Assassin's Creed
  • Forza
  • Battlefield 3
  • Batman Arkham games
  • Mark of the Ninja
  • Shadow of Mordor
  • Tomb Raider
  • Devil May Cry

I'm surprised no one has said Skyrim.
I recommend The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (a great RPG with lots of story)
Also, The Last of Us and Devil May Cry

Story elements/writing in Skyrim is crap though.

turtlethetaffer had a good suggestion with Bloodlines.

Also....

Planescape: Torment

Mask of the Betrayer

Fallout 1/2/New Vegas

Betrayal at Krondor

KotoR 2 (with the restored content mod)

Same thing happened to me and then one day I just decided to play a game again and realized how much I missed it even though I didn't have all the free time I used to have.

Find other hobbies. Just keep up on gaming news and eventually some game will grab your interest.
