Feels like its a chore...

Has anyone else played a game and not enjoyed it but feel they gotta do it?

I'm feeling this so much with mw2 so much right now, Sure Me and my friend are going to play some games but

"Naw,... I gotta prestige," Or gotta level up

I've felt this with other games, but not really anything else lately, right now I feel like crap and I'm finishing all my games negative, but I feel a need to keep on playing even though its just frustrating me and i'm not enjoying it at all.

Anyone else feel like this sometimes? But for now.. I think I'm gonna just go lie down and play some dragon age.. A nice, relaxing expirience.

haha, isnt this a sign that you might be a video game addict? If your not enjoying it why not just lay it down or switch games.... Maybe its time to join GA (Gamer's Anonymous) LMAO. I've been a member since the time the NES came out.

Well I'm only addicted when I have nothing better to do, I live on a farm my parents are at work most of the time so I have no way into are small little town to hang out with my friends.

And also, I'm not sure, I mainly wanna level to keep up with my friends.

But ,, sure I guess I can be pretty addicted some times.. lol

Nah, too many games for me to play, I can't waste time playing games I don't really like

Yeah I tend to grind through games till the end most the time. Even if the game gets tedious or boring I'll usually grind through till completion. I hate having stacks of games that I own that I haven't beat. I make a concious effort to finish games and get my full money's worth out of it. But sometimes certian games just totally lose thier fun factor and I forget about them and usually end up selling them back to gamestop.

The last time I felt like I was grinding against my will was with Far Cry 2. Talk about a **** ending after all the driving and grinding! I wish I could sell my PC games back! But I guess I'll have to just keep snapping the discs and burning the boxes. lol.

That happened to me in a *certain* MMO. Also, achievements tend to make things chores sometimes too.

When people begin to talk about a hobby being a CHORE, it means they are doing the hobby WAY too much. I can only imagine that you play video games at an unnatural rate lol.

MW2 can feel like that when they respawn the enemy right next to me.. Seriously whenever I play Afghan they seem to love to respawn the enemy beside me. Fix the respawns IW it's getting very annoying.

Usually once it starts getting like that I either switch games or just don't play it for a week or so

Thats how i am, and im at that point where im about to stop playing again for awhile. Just watch some movies and relax. Dont even think about games for awhile if u can.

Sometimes. There's a fine line between a game that's genuinely not fun, and one that's hard, but I'll feel very satisfied having beaten. Was every single Spec Ops mission on Veteran fun at every single moment? Hell no. Did I get a sense of satisfaction for getting all 69 stars? Of course.

Occasionally this will happen to me. What I do is switch up my classes and never keep things the same unless I find something that both works and I can enjoy doing. For example I enjoy running into the middle of the map, but I dont enjoy the death that comes with it. I enjoy doing well camping, but get seriously bored after about 3 minutes. I find that if I find a mix of the two, I get both a successful and fun game.

Modern Warfare 2 sometimes feels like a chore, Fallout 3. And most of all Borderlands began to feel like a chore (Still a good game but)

Well some games used to start to seem like a chore so I just gave em a break and played something else. Moderation is key word kids! nate_c-12

OH and I too play MW2 to seemingly no end. I am 1st Prestige lvl 61, I have no idea how anyone could be further than that, I am ALWAYS playing it. Damn Boosters and their 10th prestiges...

GTA IV seems more like a chore at time then a game.KC_Hokie

Yeah it's a chore to play bad games, however it's popular so when I see a friend playing it I say "Hey, let me give this flaming piece of **** another try"

Then I play 2 minutes and remember why I moved on to better games, like Rogue Warrior and Vampire Rain.

Oh no, not another Halo thread!:P

Kidding, (sort of) but there are many games I have played that I thought I would enjoy...but didn't. Personal opinion depending I supose.

sadly yes....

glad I bought L4D2, haven't played a better game in years without feeling like I *have* to get this/that. It seems to be the games with online scores mostly, you'll never be #1, but you keep playing and unlocking stuff etc.

only if i've beaten the game already and i'm just doing an achievement runthrough. however it felt like a chore at times to finish the first assassin's creed. many people can attest to that.

The 10th prestige thing is a hack if you ask me, all of a sudden the next day i saw a bunch of 10th prestiges when I never saw one before.

btw 1887's were nerfed, funny some guy shot both his barrels 5 times at me from a range wondering why it wask killing me x]

My friends are all aiddicted to MW2, just becasue of the leveling system, perks and killstreak stuff. Me? Not so much. I haven't touched the mutliplayer in that game since early December.

Certain acheivements feel like a chore to me

No when I get sick of a game I stop playing. If i'm trying to beat a game and I get frustrated I might put it donw for a while then come back later. When I got frustrated with CoD4 veteran campaign I put it down for like 10 months came back and beat the last 5 levels in one sitting.

Know the feeling. Espcially in RPG's.SoAmazingBaby

Nothing better then forgetting to save and having to start 3 hours back..

Sounds like your actually having fun wiith it. I feel I really do feel like it's a chore... as soon as I get stuck in a game I lose interest.
