2011

Jeez. Long time ago. I don't even remember.

When I realized I don't play for fun, I play because it's something to talk about with my friends, and now that they've all jumped onto the MOBA/ASSFAGGOTS bandwagon and on Overwatch, I've grown very distant because they no longer play games we used to, and I have nothing to talk about anymore.

I've tried finding other hobbies, but none work.

After normies ruined the video game industry forever and every single game to come out was casualized trash, so after 2007-2008

I still like vidya, but I can't fucking play one game anymore. No more DotA style mega games.

Right now I'll play a few rounds of quake champions, then some pubg or Warframe (or fortnite since I got a free copy recently), then I started to try to find some older games I fucking always heard about but never played when it was new or replay an older vidya.

but i didn't

I get so mad playing video games because all these fucking nobody developers think anyone should care about their terrible "story" and "characters". Dude I just want to have fun and play the videogame but they won't let me.
Trying to go through Xcom and it's already stupidly slow paced but then they decide you need to have 40 seconds of your time devoted to introducing a new enemy that looks and fights exactly like the ones you were just fighting or for the chosen to wake poetic about nothing.

this is probably the right answer

>tfw played vidya for a solid 12 hours today
weekends are great

When I came to Sup Forums

He was never a gamer to begin with, he was a movie nerd, and wanted to make movies. The nerd is a character in his movie.

I never stopped, nor will I ever.

I think around 2014 or 2015 I realized that nobody was making a good game anymore. Nobody. Witcher 3 is the last good game ever made.

try Magic The Gathering

As soon as it became the only thing i did all day

The moment I realized my life is fucked up.

I'm no depressed, I don't hate myself and I don't want to kill myself, I just know that every single second I spend playing vidya, should be spent doing something more important.

That's why I can't focus on vidya or enjoy it, unless I'm playing with someone else.

Try switching over to single player games. Most of my friends are on the bandwagon, but I still enjoy and have loads of fun playing SP games. Hell, not joining the bandwagon made me appreciate games even more because I can now spend more time exploring all the hidden gems I left out because I was too busy riding on the stupid MP bandwagon.

When I got a job.

When I went to college.
I got so depressed that I would just sleep all the free time that I had in between the classes.

Your heart is in the right place, but I'm kind of saying that I can't join them in the mutiplayer experience, and since they don't care for SP stuff like I do, we never talk much about that stuff anymore because all they ever obsess over is what I mentioned.

Hence, SP games just not cutting it for me anymore.

Fuck no, it's even worse than ASSFAGGOTS.

Sure, I'll just "grow out of" being literally unable to enjoy things. Of course! Why didn't I think of that before? Thank you for your brilliant insight, user.

...

When I graduated from college.
Suddenly I have no friends, have no way of meeting people with similar interests, and work has sucked all the enjoyment out of life despite allowing me to buy nearly whatever games and toys I want.

I tried to do this. I had that same realization. But then I found that if I did other stuff, I'd end up regretting not playing games. Basically, no matter what I did, I'd regret not doing something else. I got this conflict where I couldn't decide between trying to pursue some kid of goal in the real world and probably be constantly frustrated trying to do so, or just playing games and being constantly tormented by thoughts that I shouldn't be doing that. Eventually my mind just fell apart and I ended up too depressed to do anything at all.

Well this thread got real depressing real quick.

When I was about 19 - 20. Modded Oblivion was the last time I truly enjoyed gaming.

I've now just turned 30. For the past 10 years gaming has just been something kill time when there's nothing better happening, or if I just need a distraction from adult life.

>Being depressed is reddit
how does one come to this conclusion

>Suddenly I have no friends
You mean you had no friends at all?

I felt the same way after i graduated. I couldn't enjoy anything so I locked myself in the house doing nothing but career stuff until I got a job. Now I enjoy vidya again

>depression is real

i stop enjoying vidya when im depressed and self loathing like i was until i got my degree. but now im neet again and i dont enjoy once more. my girlfriend literally gets more fun out of video games than i do

I'm 29 and I still enjoy vidya

Step it up man

this: portal, halo 3, ass creed, uncharted, its like an endless list of cancer that has infected the industry and society ever since

vidya is one of the few things i never grew out of
feels good man

why are you even here if you're not depressed

sorry user I'm really sick and stayed up all night and shitposting makes me feel better

Most of my favourite franchises died, were rebooted horribly before dying or simply declined to the point where I lost all interest.

The tidal wave of GTA clones and cinematic shooters also killed my enthusiasm. Now I find myself buying remasters, digital releases of old games and anniversary collections. This industry needs to die out and restart again.

2012. The sucker punchs of Mass Effect 3, Hitman Absolution, Ass Cream 3 and Halo 4 was a blow I never recovered from. I was on my way back up the following year but Rome 2 ass blasted me.

I still enjoy video games.
I just resent the moment where it's done and I have to deal with life again.

The only adice I can give you, keep trying.

Because I'm not even close to accomplish what I truly want.

WHY ARE YOU HERE FAGGOT

Nostalgia

a long time ago

i just come here to yell at shitposter OPs who post one liner threads, anime girl threads, reposts etc then i go back to lurking

honest advice, anonymous out

Christ, that's the most beta thing I read all week. How do you even come up with that.

i miss when Sup Forums was ironically a christian image board instead of an actual one.

Not yet

around about 1999, however I have been getting back into it lately and picking through the gems of the last couple of decades.
