You can do other things than play games.

im honestly not sure how to fix this, taking a break from vidya does not work

you actually have to do something else not just browse Yea Forums

Same with me. loading up the game and actually playing it is the hardest part of all

I'll sit and play a game for hours once I'm going, but for some reason the drive to actually click it and play never seems to overpower the drive to shitpost on Yea Forums

Same, I haven't touched RE5 since 1 week ago.

Stop having so many games installed at once, force yourself to start playing one for at least 2 hours, and if you still aren’t having fun then you should take a long break from vidya.

You don't, as it turns out when one has abundance of money or cheap games the majority of those games go unfinished because you don't connect with them.

Also you just may not be in the right mindset to play a particular game. I remember buying Demon Souls a year after it came out but didn't commit to finishing it until 3 years later.

Play competitive games, not just single player

I usually just kill myself, but that hasn't worked in a while.

You're getting older. Time is ticking on and you're feeling unfulfilled. Maybe like me you've not achieved much yet. People my age are married and have started a family, have a mortgage. They have that shit to focus on.

Videogames were a passion when you were young and had no responsibilities.

I don't know what to do about it either, OP. It sucks.

I've been playing rhythm games since I was a teenager. It's more a solitary thing but it's what I always come back to when I've got nothing else to do.

Stop trying and start making creative things. You've outgrown playing with toys.

You can't fix it. Your mind has been permanently ruined by Yea Forums. You fell for the everything is shit meme.

watch anime, furiously jerk off, try to shit extra hard, then pick a game and marathon it.

unrealisticly high standards.

i only play 1 out of the 10 shitty isos i leech, so... 9 get deleted years later when hd bloat sets in and it is clear the game was shit anyway (hello re2 remake).

seriously though, only play the best. that way you avoid 99% of all the issues of modern gaming. the point is, you have to -know- what is good and what is not in the first place. if you have figured that one out, you are free to go and have a great time.
cherio.

I rotate between hobbies a fair bit. Sometimes everything will be balanced between gaming, watching youtube/twitch, anime/manga/comics, and mtg, and sometimes I'll lose interest in one or more of them and just do the others some more.

I can relate bro...nowadays I'm lucky if I can get into one game a year. Unfortunately as we get older we tend to become more selective, or picky, with our vidya games. I miss being younger and loving pretty much every video game that wasn't complete trash

You either don't actually want to play games, or you're just not comfortable with playing games. Figure out what you actually need to do, get it out of the way, and make games into the recreation they were always meant to be, and you will feel better.

Quit playing video games and come back in a year.

Sounds like you're depressed.
Examine your life and the things that make you feel that way. Maybe you feel trapped in your circumstances, are struggling in education or career or have some sort of relationship issues going on. It could even be diet, as lack of certain vitamins can contribute to depressive feelings.
Now, being depressed, despite what you might hear in the media or here, is not uncommon. Everyone will experience it at points in their life. It's only if it continues, week after week and month after month, or is recurrent, such as getting over a bout then getting another a month or two later, that it's cause for concern. At that point, I'd seek professional help.
Otherwise, like I said, do some soul-searching and see what's causing your depression.

That's called alienation, and there's no readily available cure. Some people have theories on that, though.

>>get bored after 30 min
from what i've found this is usually the problem. if i force myself to play something for an hour or two, i'll get into it. problem is when i stop playing to sleep, finding the motivation to start it up again is a struggle

I'll give it a read

and these days, the best is usually -not- aaa big publisher titles. shocking, i know but sadly true.

indie-apocalypse is in full swing and titles like "texorcist" and "game dev tycoon" are already my sleeper hits of the year. i've seen enough of the "always the newest and best graphics" games, they have nothing to show for anymore to me. gameplay is more important than unskippable cutscenes and the latest hdr bullshit engine. of course, a game like "metro exodus" is a gem, but that is one in a million. most of these games are us/nip made, and they all suck. witcher, metro, all the good shit not from muttland. figures.

Replay something you like.
Branch off from games you like.

The problem is that the biggest developers cater to the masses, and the masses jump for the next biggest shiniest thing out there. If a game doesn't /look/ better than the competition, it won't sell as well early on and will be deemed a failure. Devs pour more resources into graphics, which in turn drives up the cost of development more and more, but they can't raise prices endlessly, so the games suffer in other ways, and profit margins and whatnot have to be higher, which puts more pressure on devs from publishers. It's a shitty neverending cycle of garbage. Smaller major devs and indie devs can create products that rival what used to be considered AAA games a few years ago, and make actual fun games.

Play better games, fag.

Installing random shit from your Steam library will not work. Play games you actually want to play instead of forcing yourself to play your backlog. Check some videos online, consult friends or threads on Yea Forums etc. If you go the other way around you're just forcing yourself and you'll never like it.

Do something else. There are other things to do.

Stop expecting much from your drawing and music, and take those in strides as you go. Much more relaxing if its for the sake of the activity rather than the result.

then, you probably face the dilemma to get a second hobby, as gaming is pretty shitty these days. too few good games exist now, it's all mass media now - no quality anymore.
so... either do it like me, collect them and when all the verdicts are in a year later you decide you give it a go or if it's shit you can safely delete them without missing much - but the problem stays the same, too few worthy titles in a sea of bs.

it's all so tiresome.gif

Stopped playing games for ~7 months. Also it helps to stop coming to this place who just wants to find reasons to shit on everything

one day, i will simply delete 2 partitions and be done with it. making animated pixel gifs is a way more fulfilling hobby these days. playing games has become like watching tv: passive and boring.

haha just kidding, take a break from gaming for a while. go outside and explore your town/streets. there's a big world out there, no harm in partaking.

Personally I can play a game for a day or two before I drop it, but my issue is similar. I've learned why after reading an old article by a philosopher (chronicle.com/article/How-to-ProcrastinateStill/93959).
It's because when I sit down to play a video game it's on top of my list of priorities. Ironically this means that I will inevitably play something else, unless the game is really short. The reason I could happily play games when I was a kid was because I was supposed to be doing my homework, clean my room or some other household chore. Now that that is no longer the case I put my own wants on top of the list, but as a procrastinator I will always avoid doing what's my highest priority. The problem gets worse because whenever I drop a game in favor of a new one, the new one takes the top of the list. When I was a kid there was always something more important to do than play that one video game, which is why it remained interesting, not to say that the "adult effect" can't also happen for things lower on the list.
Supposedly the solution to the problem is to put something you don't really want to do on top of the list, which will make you focus on the top thing on the list that you actually want to do more of the time. I've yet to do this myself, but if I managed to change my mindset so that "learn japanese" took the top of the list or if I started getting more responsibilities, likely in the form of a family, then taking care of them would also make the top of my list. This would, ironically enough, make me play and enjoy video games more.

The last single player game i finished was God of War, and I think it was because they had thousands of lines of dialogue for the side kick characters that gave the illusion of being in a party.

It's just a terrible syndrome of too many games to play at one time. When we were kids, at least the early 90's, if you weren't super rich you would only get a new game on birthdays or christmas; renting was an option too, but even still.

The market is too saturated now, every day a new game is being released. It's fucking with your concentration. I'm not sure what the cure is personally, but trying to overcome the 'boredom' and stick with one game would be the best option at this point.

Intersperse productivity between games. All day spent playing games makes you appreciate them less.
Stop browsing Yea Forums or just come back like once a month.
Don't buy shit on steam sale a huge list of games you know you will never play just crushes you.
If you work and come home to just play games. Get something to work towards like another hobby or learning a language. Otherwise life turns into work then video games.

I'm going through the same thing. Hows the rest of your life going?

mine sucks bad, and I can't just enjoy gaming like I used to. too many worries and stresses to think about.

Who would have thought. Go get some real quality games.

I just can't enjoy single player games that aren't open ended sandboxes anymore. I think Assassin's Creed Origins was the last story based game I actually finished, but even then I only play Assassin's Creed for the historical tourism aspect. I tried to force myself to play the Witcher 2 recently, a game I completed twice in 2012, to refresh my memory in order to play The Witcher 3, but couldn't even finish the prologue out of boredom. Meanwhile I can literally play 10 hour sessions of Crusader Kings 2

play better games....?

I feel you user.

This used to happned me when I pirated ton of games in past, I had so many games that I can't decide which one to play, or started one, play some time and then forget about it forever. and again, and again...

Life changes, and I made the choice of supporting developers and buy games, sure, I buy only few games, like 3 or 4 per year, but now I can focus more in the game I have at the moment.

If piracy is your problem, stop doing it, otherwise there are a lot of things to do, not only videogames, eventually you will have the desire to go play something

No more hugs, Will.

I think that's something else. In your case it feels more rewarding because you literally give yourself video games as a reward. My example is the procrastinator's problem of avoiding the things you should be doing, leading you to enjoying and doing things that aren't as important, like playing that one video game.
Mind you, this isn't about finding more enjoyment in video games as much as it is about playing them in the first place.

While it's important for both, singing is much more reliant on natural talent than playing an instrument.

Witcher 2 is kinda boring, in all honesty. Try Witcher 3 side missions and the first DLC. They are amazing, made my empty soul feel something.

Stop trying to play so many games and just play ones your legit interested in. Just do other things too. I only play vidya occassionaly now. Can't just spend hours on them like when i was a kid/young teen.

I don't know. anyone can sing, but not everyone can play an instrument.

I dont even a fuckin pc im broke af

I hate playing sequels without playing all the games in order though, that's just my autism. It took me quite a long time to try The Witcher 2 after struggling with several attempted playthroughs of The Witcher 1 before giving up.

not everyone can learn to sing good

I found that switching genres helped. played lots of story based games and burned out. switched to twitch based arcade games and that really hit the spot for a while.

I dropped Witcher 2 after 2/3rds of the story and started Witcher 3. It was a good decision in hindsight. Witcher 3 is just better in every aspect.

"Producing a tune" is as easy as hitting a string, pressing a key or just making a sound. And that doesn't mean it sounds good.

looks like you dont like video games

it's a product to them. and all the product games usually suck. re2 re is a lifeless corporate shell. all that was good got sucked out, and no one wants to eat an empty clam.

Same here, but with browsing Yea Forums instead of Youtube.

any kid can sing mary had a little lamb, but can they also play it on a guitar with zero training?

whatever you do, don't start a gaming channel. videogames start to feel like work, and you'll feel like it isn't worth it if you don't have the latest and greatest game every month.

shit sux

No they can't, just like they can't sing it without training either. They have to learn the words and the melody, just as they would on an instrument.
And while basic competence might be easier with singing compared to an instrument, reaching "beautiful" levels is more reliant on natural competence when you sing than when you play an instrument.

>any kid can sing mary had a little lamb
not every kid can sing it good.
Not that guy but,
Even a well trained guitarist wouldn't be as good as a well-trained one with natural talent.
Ultimately, singing is 90% natural talent.

This. If you start worrying too much about backlog then you're turning it into a mental chore. In situations like that, the best thing to do is say fuck the backlog and play something you know you love to play.

Sometimes I just thrown on Super Metroid and do a quick playthrough because why the fuck not.

You're addicted to instant dopamine by browsing imageboards so if a game doesn't engage you in the first 30 minutes your brain wants to go do something else.

for me the trick was to stop thinking so much. I would want to do something but would always get hung up on the consequences and then do nothing.
if you want something - buy it
if you're low on money - work for it
if you're tired from working - go to sleep

I started taking things a single step at a time instead of, in this example, thinking about buying something, getting a job and working, and then being possibly too tired. that's all too much for me to handle back then

I hope this helps you.

I masturbate at most once daily now, quit weed and alcohol completely, got my work schedule to be early enough that I have to wake up no later than 9am and will eventually get it so I have to wake up at 6 or 7, I exercise 5 days a week and that also helps me get up earlier, I eat fast food 5 days a week but it's protein menu stuff with rice and black beans and grilled chicken ("benefit" of a McJob), I hang out with my best friend usually once a week and have other social outings with coworkers 2-3 times a month, quit my depression meds awhile ago, play videogames at most 8 hours a day on my days off and usually 2-3 hours when I have the time, I usually try to watch films/read/write most of the time so I feel enriched, and my bedtimes are still a bit insomniac af but it's not all too bad.

All in all, doing pretty good. But women still think I'm pathetic ;_;

that's bitches for you, we know you're not pathetic
fuck em

are you retarded or is this some kind of joke I did not get?

sure, time to time I install game that does not deliver, and after 30 mins i uninstall it and forever delete it. But that is far from being typical. You should generally know whether you will like something before you install it, how the fuck can you not?

I would assume that you get and install every game that trends or reviews high, rather then playing genres that you actually like and ignoring trendy game in others, rather then thinking that you will like it because others like it. Plebs taste is shitty taste, just play genres you like.

I'm glad you lost weight, dude. I used to be 6'1" 220lbs and I'm down to 188lbs now

>he isn't too depressed to enjoy games anymore
get a load of this guy

Good work, man. I'm 5'9, 158lbs. Used to be 285lbs. Feels good.

That's fucking incredible, user. You're testament to the fact that diet and exercise can work miracles. Everyone should idolize your results.

If any of you are fat and "afraid" of going to the gym just look at this hero

My point is that you may be too depressed to enjoy games, but how can you not know it beforehead? after you do this with two games it row, why try third? WTF you expect with the third one? Actual retard confirmed.

With age, the lonely kicks get harder and harder to find. Our biological drive is basically screaming at us to make a family already.

This. Fuck me if I'm not trying to marry every halfway cute girl I meet.

No, really, someone fuck me

>almost 30
>all i wanna do is play porn games
>libido worse than when i was a teenager
It's true. Lifting probably isn't helping either[/spoiler

>30 this year
>Been in a relationship for almost 12 years
>Always said don't want kids, but now there's kind of a nagging feeling in the back of my head
>Even making somewhat decent money, it's still not enough to either buy a house or have kids, let alone both combined, without massive drawbacks
I hate being not poor but with no chance of ever having plenty of money

stop lying to yourself that those are your hobbies. Not anymore, or at least not at the moment. If they were, you would enjoy them. Just give yourself break for them. Do not do them. This way you will only create negative associations towards them. Give yourself a few months break and you will became drawed to them again. That actually happen to me and this actually worked

>last conversation I had with someone that isnt family or a coworker in over a year
>last time I had sex was three years ago
>last relationship I had was 6 years ago
Where did it all go wrong. Never did I think I would be 25 and have no friends or a gf.

Jews actually rather own the fast food chains and anything that can be branded a brainwashed as being normal.

Is someone forcing you to play games? Do something else, for Christ sake. Watch a movie, do some sport, learn something.

>play a game for a few weeks
>don't touch it for years

>read the first few chapters of a book
>put it down and never pick up from where you left it

Holy shit fuck off.
Why do these threads not get deleted?

You have fucked up attention span.
You need to fix your life, organize it better. Stop using social networks. Minimize using any electronics. Exercise, meditate and read books.

By not playing them until I feel like playing them again.

Switched to CS go. Got an 8 year old kicked cause I annoyed him enough to teamkill me as he raged into the mic.

Epic gamer moments am I right?

You could try playing something completely different to what you're used to playing.
Like a new genre or something.
That helped me a bit.

It's not you. All games are getting closer and closer to becoming copycats, nostalgia trips, meme games, or borderline apps. Not only are games shorter (unless you play a boring movie game), blunt (ie smash being legit just online mode the game), or repetitive, their creators are more interested in our money, or if their cash grab gets publicity, or making it look pretty so they can pretend they have creativity for their bosses so they can keep their jobs.

But nigga, at least I can play TF2 or revisit TTYD or some shit. Dunno what the fuck is up with you.

don't know

watch mlp

These are some good advice.
Had similar apathy towards games at age of 25 or so which motivated me to improve myself in many ways. Fix my diet, do some exercise and eventually lead me learn to make games since I already knew how to program. Took quite a long break from games and focusing mostly on making them instead and gradually regained some (not all) my interest towards games.

It'll never be the same though, but you'll likely end up with healthier relationship with games playing them for fun and to relax instead of treating them like full time job.
