Are you bored with gaming?

I find it funny that most of the posts are complaing about shooters and racing games. Play something more freshOllivander

If there was something more fresh to play I'd be playing.. Not sitting around these forums waiting for news in a good game or something..

only when I'm not playing any.XenoNinja

Gaming isn't what it used to be. There hasn't been a game in ages that has really impressed me, and there probably never will be. The golden era is long gone :(DarkT33

that's the spirit........

Play Phantom Hourglass I haven't been so hooked in a game in ages.

No, and 19 is nothing. I am 36, but I do admit that I had 2 small periods like that over the years. One was for a couple of years in high school after my Commodore 64 got old, but I didn't like NES games. Eventually, the Sega Genesis got me back into gaming.

Then, the failure of the Sega Saturn caused a slowing down of my game playing because I didn't like Playstation, but I was revived after the Dreamcast hit the scene.

I have been gaming hard ever since. There is nothing wrong with having other interests, though. I am an avid reader, music fanand moviebuff as well. When one area isn't delivering, I just focus on another.

I hope you get your groove back.

I think people like you need more than one major hobbie. I have three, I'm a competitive downhill bike racer, pastry baker, and gamer. When I race too much downhill or bake one too many birthday cakes, I play a good game and vice versa. Then after a bit, my hobbies feel fresh again.

Then they's hobbies that never get old like womanizing but tha's a different matter.

I 100% agree with you, but I think you misinterpreted my post. I hardly ever play video games anymore, thats what my whole post was about. I don't even have a desire to play them anymore and its been like that for a year or so. I really wish there was a game out there that made me want to play for 15 hours straight. Like when I was 14 and I couldn't wait to get home after my soccer game to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time for 5th time.

By the waymy best friendraces downhill and is super good. He races thenorba's and everything.You won't believe a picture of him up at Big Sky Montana, its insane. If you pm me, I'll send it to you.

It comes and goes for me. Sometimes, it'll be the only thing I care about, and other times, playing a game is the last thing I feel like doing. The periods of time varies, but there was a good year and a half or so where I just read about them and barely even played them.

Right now, though, I'm really into games. I hate for you to get rid of all your gaming stuff, because you never know when you're going to get the itch.

I'll have to say, yes, I'm pretty bored with gaming.

To be quite honest, I'm tired of all the cornballed plots and horrible gameplay as of late. I'll probably re-enter the gaming scene when something with solid elements of both come up.

i have lately i just beat halo 3 legendary,,, its was awsome and i done it single player the only reson i feel like am lose interest isi have no LIVE but till then ill be good dont wanna put in the box and let it get dust just yet..

I don't have the same feeling, and I'm 25 so I don't think it has anything to do with age.

You mostly talked about FPS (action)and racing titles, maybe nows the time to try something more diverse? Or maybe you could be changing interests?

Is corridor shooter #3941756 not doing it for you TC?Gunraidan

that's what I'm saying. Play something different!!!!

Hi, yh i tottaly agree here, i am getting bored with games!

I used to own a ps1, then a ps2 i loved both and played all the time, crash spyro, MGS, final fantasy, then timesplitters, killzone, war of the monsters, GTA, ect. but then my ps2 slowly died (it was one of the original builds and got the disk read error), after that i didnt play games for a long time. I then got a laptop and discovered steam and counter strike source, it ran like **** and i was aweful at it but i was gameing again, it has now been a yeaer since i started on steam, i have played the orange box many times and my game colection grew along with steams weekend deals ^^, but i find myself now with tomb raider anniversary, half life 1, farcry,& penumbra all started but not completed, i cant find the motivation to pick up and play them to completion at the moment! i also have may online games which i dont play as my 2 mates have been unable to play the last 6 months. i just cant find the motivation to pick up and play any of my games! its depressing, as when i do force myself to play i greatly enjoy it, its just that push that im lacking...my sloth and depression hold me back, and animes online has made it harder, as its easier to click the next episode of an anime and just slouch around, then pick up my gamepad and play >.>

oh and for yall information im 16 and live in the UK, suppose i should start going out more...realise everyone who "goes out" (goes to park and gets pissed on vodka in other words >.>) are complete **** and will make me realise getting drunk at home and playing ZPS with a few mates is a better alternative ^^

most of my games havent been completed lol i have since then completed alot of them but i cant list lal of em

I've come to a sad realization today as I put my brand new Xbox 360Elite up for sale on my local website. And no, it's nothing against the Xbox (I tradedin my ps3 for it lol), it's just that I didn't find it enjoyable. I played Halo 3 for like 5 hours over a week's time and I just don't have the desire to play it anymore. It was the same thing with my ps3 and Motorstorm, and I also have an uber PC that I built for Crysis, and it will probably end up with the same fate (although I really enjoy the Crysis beta).I find myself having more fun looking at screenshots of upcominggamesand reading the boards than actually playing video games, and now that is even getting boring.

I bought Bioshock and played it for like an hour on PC, but I don't even care if I ever play it again or not. I love Half Life 2, but I haven't even finished Half Life Ep1 despite having it for a year. I played Motorstorm, but I didn't care to finish it. Same with Halo 3, same with Dirt, same with Heavenly Sword, same with Resistance FOM, and same with other games. And it's not like I suck at gaming, I'm pretty good at it. I'm a God in Motorstorm with over 300 races. I played Halo 3 multiplayer once and I had the 2nd most frags. I was always in the top10 on Gran Turismo HD online times, but for some reason I just don't find it fun. The only games that I have truly been addicted to are Counter Strike and MX Unleashed for ps2. If Crysis doesn't excite me, then sadly I won't spend anymore time on gaming.

I guess its becauseI'm getting older (19yrs)and I just don't enjoy video games anymore. And it's sad because I used to love coming home from school/work and just chill on my couch and play a game or two. Its also got me down because ofthe fact that I've spent nearly $3000 on gaming in the last year (ps3, xbox, 32" lcd tv, pc parts, games, etc). Anyone else feel the same way?

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]No. If you're getting bored of something, you're probably doing it so much that it's unhealthy.TheDuffman26

Thats pretty funny you say that. You have the highest post count I have ever seen.

Yeah I'm bored of gaming. I only play these days 'cause I've got absolutely nothing better to do.

Are you Bored with Gaming?

TheDuffman26

:lol: No, I wouldn't be on here if I was...

Yes, I'm very bored. It just sucks because I've been gaming for so long, that it's become some kind of compulsion. I don't want to game, but I force myself to. I don't want to come on this site, but I can't help myself. :?

Im sorta moving away from gaming, I just dont want to play anything anymore

Of course we're all bored, or else we wouldn't be on SW! :) But seriously, I'm quite a bit older than 19 and I get bored with gaming off and on all the time. Sometimes I'm bored with one game, and find another. Sometimes I need to switch from console to PC, or jump on (or leave) a MMO... Sometimes it's time to turn off all games and watch movies for awhile, or get into a good book, or post on internet forums .>. My summertimes I spend more time out at BBQs, bars, boating, or weekend trips than videogaming. But I think the TC is going Wayyyyy overboard selling off his console and predicting he's "outgrown games". That's like selling your tv because nothing good is on. You'll end up spending a lot more in the long run.

*Edit* Great just realized I helped some dork keep a two year old post on the front page. Now I'm bored with this thread.:x

Sort-of. Gaming is an expensive hobby. I have no next-gen systems. I've played them though.Nitro720

Occasionally I get bored of just about everything for small periods, even games I enjoy alot at that particular time, and then I just stop and can't continue. It's usually a bit confusing, but for whatever reason I just play an RPG and I'm fine again, and can go back to what I was playing previously.

This gen i get bored all the time. Because so many games this gen. i feel like ive played them all before, its ridiculous, like everything just seems recycled. Like i liked killzone 2 but that felt like 20 different games and a few movies thrown together, same with infamous, gears of war, GTA4, LO, Metroid prime, call of duty, and so many others.
