Are you tired of videogames?

I noticed yesterday.. I'm. I barely play anything.. when I do I play it for like 5 mins and that's it. Even good old games... moment ago demo was finished downloading and I immediatelly deleted it without trying... anyone have similar symptoms... lack of motivation?

Yep, all the time, the only game I can play "solo" is TMUF, but I mostly play games that my frieds play so that I chat with them, it's way more fun that way (the reason I play WoW now :/).

But there are some games that are extremely fun like DoW II, Empire, Sacred 2..

if you're tired of gaming, just retire from gaming. as if having fun needs :motivation: ?

If there is a soccer game then i will play that game everyday and other action,RPG's take much time so they will be for weekends...:p

Not yet.

I find myself playing less each month. It would be great to see some truly captivating plots and gaming environments, but everything's starting to feel a bit samey. I don't know if that's just a result of growing older or whether it reflects a real trend in game design, but I feel like all my time gaming is spent in dingy dungeons or on recycled battlefields.

It's like the technology is out there to do great things but we're seeing the same rehashed game ideas we were ten years ago. I keep holding my breath for the Molyneuxs and Will Wrights to deliver, but projects keep falling short of promises. Who knows... maybe with the growth of DD and the associated fall in distribution and marketing costs, smaller studios will begin to get a look in and investors will be willing to take a risk on more adventurous concepts.

I'm somehow tired of video games now.I find other interesting things out there.

i've noticed theresquite a few new games that i did actually get bored of playing half way through, looking forward to mass effect 2 loved the first one

and splinter cell conviction i know ill love, but i do take a lot more breaks from playing games these days than i used to

no more 3 hour sessions :D

the only game I engrossed in recently is the nancy drew series which I've never thought of it could be quite satisfying and entertaining. I guess I just spend too much time on game of the same genre, especially first person shooter.

I've been watching movies instead of gaming for consistent extended periods. The games I have been playing are casual fun like Anno 1701, Wii games, and I've considered getting some point and click adventure games.

No.

ps:isn't the TC that blackflag dude that was banned or something?

Got alot of free time and bored of games :| I have biking for main hobby and watching some movies but wish wasn't so burnt on games. But Borderlands and left 4 dead 2 should help out with that.

I am actually getting back into playing Battlefield 2. So no I am not tired of video games. :P I can't wait to play Battlefield 2 again later. :D

I don't know if I am bored with games as much as I am bored with this current "next-generation" of lowest common denominator games. I still play Fallout 1 & 2, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Wizardry, etc. but there's not really anything new or recently announced that excites me. There are a few indie RPGs I have my eye but other than that, all I see is drek coming from the major publishers and studios.

No, but I need a break from the Summer.

nooo way what a ludacris question to ask .im still gaming all the time.

Yeah, about 7-8 years ago when the stagnation of gaming became visible to me

More or less.I only play certain games these days

No, I vary my routine so that I don't become bored. Runan uber-game for a while,surf the Net, play a casual game to break any monotony.

Never happend to me or maybe it has and I havent noticed. If Im not playing Im reading so all is well.

I feel unmotivated when a new game is gonna come out.

I go through some rough patches but nothing that bad. I still very much love gaming.

From what I am reading here the themes seem to be:

Lowest common denominator video gaming -- Companies play it safe, this nets them cash and caters to the casuals, but not real gamers.

Lack of story.

Lack of atmosphere.

No originality.

I've been getting the EXACT same feelings. It really sucks! :(

Yep.. fewer and fewer games hold my interest and I've noticed my play sessions never going beyond 1hr and 30mins. It's a good thing but I've never really thought of it much. SC2, TOR and D3 will hold me over for quite a while when I get all of them.
