I used to play my 360 daily, until it RROD on me... During that time period I didn't have my 360 I got along fine without playing any games. Now I'm just used to it. I never play it. None of the games I have seem nearly as fun. This really sucks actually because games I were excited before give me no interest at all now. Anyone else ever have this happen to them?

Yeah, ever since I got a guitar, I hardly touch my PS2 anymore. Even when I do, I can't play for more than 30 mins.

I have not played my 360 since August 07, and havent played more then an hour of a game for a while before that...it saddens me. The new grand theft autos coming out and I can honestly say I may never play. School and other stuff have really gotten in the way.

Me too, I am not enjoying the games I used to enjoy most. There are more important, worthy, and rewarding things to be done at times.

happened to me. But I came to gamespot, and new games came out. New interesting games always pique my interest. But I find it EXTREMELY hard to go back to games I beat.

I don't see why it sucks - if you don't miss it, who cares? If you do miss it, play. Look on the bright side... if you're losing your passion for gaming, you're freeing up a lot of your time to do other things, and you're saving all the money you'd normally spend on games for something else. It's just one of many forms of entertainment.

Then you need to start buying games which are either unbeatable (in that there is no 'winning condition' - like Simcity or a simulation game), very tough to beat with lots to do (like Morrowind for instance), or are different each time you play them. Military strategy games don't work out the same way each time you play. Anything with a dynamic campaign is gold for replayability. And competitive multiplayer games never get old. Figuring out the AI is one thing - you're never going to figure out every one of your human opponents.

Figuring out the AI is one thing - you're never going to figure out every one of your human opponents.

The games that appeal to me seem to have linear stories with a chance to go off and goof around, but I'm waaaay to good at beating games now, I completely dominate a game before I give it up, thats why it so hard to go back, cause I played it straight- through, then I played it goofing around doing everything else. After that, what else is there to do?

Umm sorta. I got back into sports, partying, being in bands, and making art. Video games are fun and all, but I don't play much anymore.
