Don't you get tired of PC gaming sometimes?

It's interesting, after eight years of PC gaming, upgrades for some reason I'm getting tired of playing PC titles. Mind you i don't own a console myself but did played a few games on ps2 with friends and I noticed something.

I' had a good time, I actually felt very good. Being a graphic wh*re I kinda didn't care how the game looked. I'll probably will not have x360 nor ps3 since I don't own good TV to play them in high definition.

I have a decent computer and don't have any problems playing anything, I just can't explain the fun factor after borrowing portable DS from a friend while playing some game that lets you be a surgeon.

Maybe it's just me, however I'm torn apart from new shiny 8800 gts or a simple DS or PSP for fun factor that I somehow don't feel as I use to on PC..

it's just you, I got tiredof my 360, it gathers dust while I play my PC all the time. Fun is what you make it, Pc and PC games are so customizeable there are endless possibilities.  Pc offers more versatility and  endless hours of enjoyment due to this versatility.

I'm getting tired of gaming in general... everything seems to be quickly declining in quality for everything except graphics.justheretodl124

agreed

I think it just takes one game to get back into a format. Take a break from it buddy. Then you may appreciate it more when u return. Its never good to hear a fellow gamer is getting tired of gaming!!! :O

My advice is play whatever makes you have fun. Regardless of format. But there are soooo many PC titles that can keep you entertained for hours. I alternate between me 360 and PC.

I know what you mean though because you end up thinking your neglecting your PC, as sad as that sounds :lol:....its true :?

Try some round based FPS's or whatever.

Maybe you just need a new game. I found that the PC gaming releases have been a little dry lately. Most games are the type where you beat it once then you're done or you have to play 24/7 to actually do the best part of the game (WoW for example) and then you get sick of it. I find myself playing Lumines on my PSP  just to take a break from it all.

I figured I needed a break from video games so I got back into playing bass and guitar for a while, then I brushed up on my Calculus and read a couple of books. Now I can get back into the game.

The only thing I regret about PC gaming is not being able lay down.mech126

Hahahaha, amen, brother.

I know what you mean. A months ago i just didn't feel like playing any of my games, i was simply bored. All it really took was for a new patch for medieval 2 TW to come out and i'm back in the groove of things again. Also, playing oldies is great fun, though not necessarily old, thief 2 was a blast to play again.

You basically need a break from gaming since your enthusiasm for playing games, like mine, oscillates and if playing psp provides the temporary fix for you then go ahead and do it, it's not a sin. 

I'm tired of upgrading my P.C atm plus none of my fav action games coming out for P.C . I bought a PSP instead and enjoying it for the moment :) Plus i'm enjoying PS 2 action games which i overlooked .

I'll P.C game again soon tho :)

I would understand buying a Xbox 360, a PS3 or even a PS2... but a PSP... well it's not my problem.

emmm78 said all what should be said. 

Sometimes I get tired of holding the mouse and keyboard at times because I play quake so much and my hands can only take so much, but I do enjoy it a lot. Though I wish i could get more comfy and sit on the couch or something, but I have my 360 controller and some good emu's and racing games to relax and sit on the couch since my pc is hooked up to my tv.

  All in all I dont really get tired of games, just I have a short attention span so I just keep mixing things up. 

You need to pick up a game that has an engaging storyline. Try looking for something with huge single player content and not so much on the multiplayer side, something that would engage you to keep playing to see what happenes, like a book :P

Let's put it this way... I spent more time reading these forums than playing games.. lol

 Yes I do get tired of PC gaming already, and I just selfbuilt a new gaming PC only a month ago, bcuz maybe holding a mouse isnt my thing. everytime when I played my PC game all I want is to play my PS2/PS3 cuz the controller is so comfortable and much easier to play(I know PC has controller too but it wont be the same)..... Just couple of days now I wanted to go back to my console PS3(or 360) after playing FEAR, Counter Strike, FreeStyle Basketball, Guild Wars, and World of Warcraft, and Im NOT planning on upgrading my gaming PC anymore cuz everytime I get so frustrating and tired of loading this and that even more download before I can actually play the game(not to mention PCs cost too much to upgrade) - consoles all you do is pop the disk in and boom.

.... but no, I wont give up PC gaming tho, I still liked most of MMOs type for the most part.

yeah you need a new game, try World of warcraft and your live what's left of it would never be the same again!

i go outside and do stuff when i get bored of gaming.

bunnyben2 has the right idea. If your a homeowner, take care of some stuff around the house. Hell, I'm paint'n my house and landscaping my yard right now, well, I really don't have a choice because the pain in the arse wifey will probably kill me in my sleep if I don't :P ...but it helps getting some fresh air from time to time. In other words, outdoor activities is the way to go, and get ready for a killer Fall time of tons of games to come...I'm excited..
