Burnt out

[mod3rnnightmar3]

I have a problem... A couple days ago I want to play a game. I looked at my library with 70+ games in it.

I simply didn't want to play anything yet I still had the urge to.

I haven't finished a game in months whether on my Xbox or pc.

I just can't seem to be able to find a game to play and worse when I am playing it's just borring, no matter what game it is. I don't suspect that there is any way to fix this. But I just needed to tell some one, to see if this had happened to anybody else.

I'm 15 and I still want to game but I can't.

I still live my pc and use it every day, just not for gaming.

Not just you... You're just looking at more better things to do in life...

 

Start making wallpapers like me <3

I have this a lot. It's usually in the build up to a new game but for a year or so i've only been playing Dota 2 and CS:GO.

Everyone knows how to make YouTube videos, whether or not they're good is another matter entirely. Most people wouldn't want to watch a 15 year old named mod3rnnightmar3 anyway..

 

If you feel burnt out, that happens to a lot of people. Gamers in particular, every now and then (quite frequently in my case) you feel like you don't have any games to play. All I can recommend is find something else interesting, browse forums, discuss, watch some movies, a new TV series, go outside (ikr wtf?). Once a new game comes out that interests you, you can play that for a couple hundred hours before you get bored.

 

Personally, I am waiting for GTA V to eat up my time as well as Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlords to sink a thousand hours into.

It happens.

 

You need a break from gaming. Try picking up a hobby or something, or go outside. After a  while, you'll probably/most likely want to play again.

I was kidding about the YouTube videos, if I ever did make any they would be crap.

I think we all feel this way man, just how gaming goes sometimes. Often I have more fun researching about new games instead of playing the games I have ;(

I am the same, I feel as if I am coming of age, where gaming for my age is uncool, and newer games bore me, a few I am looking forward to, but its less and less every year.

But I feel games have no design these days, they are all the same, shooters more so than others, even halo has fallen into this trap.

The only "New" games I am looking forward to, not reboots.

The Witcher 3 (I upgraded my GPU just for this) 

GTA 5 (I may get it just for my gf)

 

That is it, I generally turn to GoG now for my gaming feeds, I find the older games much more enjoyable, and with the release of Grim Fandango Remastered, that should have me covered for a few weeks, then Nvn1/2 should also cover me.

 

I felt the same as you at 16 also, I stopped playing games for months, then I got hooked on Minecraft lol, but I feel it is happening again, and with works and other commitments I have less time to play these games, and to be honest, I couldnt care less, I am tempted to get my Rpi to play older games via emulation, and I will be happy, and I will keep my eyes on Steam/GoG/Humble

That's pretty much how I feel, I've been playing zelda via emulator on my phone (I've never played zelda before) and I'm enjoying it.

I guess it's time to get a gog account huh.

it works great for me

[Diederik_Gr]

I also had a period where i was done with gaming, and simply took a break. There's plenty to do in the outside world, it's just that it is filled with people sadly.

Yeah Zelda is a brilliant game, they have aged well, but personally, while I like Nintendo, I am a PS1 boy, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Medieval etc, all my classics, and GoG does not have them as they where not PC ported

 

I also think your getting burnt out because new games generally suck, its been a bad few years for gaming lately, get your self a RPi, get tweaking and tinkering, get some real life knowledge of PCs, then build a retro arcade or something stay living in the 90s/early 2k era

i took a break from gaming in my old nokia n73 phone, psp2000, laptop in 2013 by focusing on my studies and work..

right now, i want a break from work and started playing again Q4 of 2014...just couldn't stop the urge and i'm on weekend gaming sprees again.
