This thread is for people who are burnt out on video games at the moment. Recommend some addictve video games to get lost in for a while, good stuff to mindlessly play while listening to a podcast, or just talk about how you have no desire or urge to play vidya like you used to.
Currently experiencing this and pretty miserable. I watch 3 or 4 movies a day and play shitty phone games during some times. Not sure how to regain the desire to play anything.
>gaming is so bad i turned to old console emulators
warframe
grind like there is no tomorrow
tried this and burned out in about 3 days
was cool for a while, but limiting the number of frames you get total behind a paywall killed it for me
My only enjoyment is playing older games too but lately even that does nothing for me.
I've installed this twice and each time it harassed me saying I don't have directx installed and when it said it will install it it would then lock up my computer for 15-20 minutes. It wouldn't install it since I already had it and it just told me installation failed.
I just sat watching the PS4 dashboard thinking about what to play for a good half hour before switching it off and deciding to go on my xbone. Needless to say I did the same on the xbone.
I think part of my tiredness is just impatience for the Xbox x. I have it pre ordered and don't want to finish assassin's creed origins before I get it.
In general
MMOs, i returned to GW2 for a while a few weeks back and i found myself spending like 8 hours or more a day just non stop playing it, was a bit unhealthy so i stopped
another one is Witcher 3
you can easily spend 2-3 weeks playing trough all the story and expansions
yea, it's already getting old. played all the good gamecube games. been digging around and seeing what good ps1 games i never got to own.
I still love video games, but I feel like I don't enjoy them "correctly". When I play games now, I can more about the lore and the immersion and atmosphere, I care little about "gameplay" anymore. That sounds like blasphemy on here but it's true, I just care more about experience game world's now and not the challenge that goes with it. The thought of playing a platformer like Mario Odyssey bores me to tears
Is this just what getting older means, am I losing my love of games, or is my taste just changing?
...
Try ffxv. It's piss easy with some lore thrown in.
>tfw you realize you no longer play games because you enjoy them, you just play them to distract yourself.
Currently playing Shadow of War, Ghost Recon; Wildlands.... Mindless killing and time flies by.
Not for everyone but I've been able to waste weeks at a time playing Sims 4 with the proper mods
chillin out:
Factorio
Cities Skylines
Darkest Dungeon
get lost in games:
dying light
Doom
Witcher 3
I am so burned out I play mobile gacha games now.
Nothing interests me anymore via console or PC.
Don't be like me, find something to interest you ASAP
I'm not tired of games, I'm tired of the wageslave lifestyle. I don't want to live a life of luxury, I just want to free myself from the vicious cycle.
Modern games are just bad.
I consider myself burned out yet when i played Sonic Mania and A Hat In Time i got a genuine smile in my face, which is hard to achieve for me right now.
Once the joy of these games wore out I just came back to Warframe (a mindless RPG grinder game).
if you don't take hearthstone seriously at all, it can be pretty entertaining for a little
Is wolfenstein good for a tired gamer? The new order I mean.
I don't dislike video games now. I just can't feel anything at all.
This thread is for BLOGGING. Rec threads are against the rules as well. Go fuck yourself.
no. I played maybe two hours and bleh
>Recommend video games
>Talk aobut good games to play for this
>Against the rules
Report it then and move on, inbred.
user shouldn't you be out trick or treating?
jrpgs are the unemployable neet games of choice, jump in.
bioware is also there for you if you can't get past the sad panda but still want to suck and fuck all your teammates. BG2 is the partisan's choice for the wealth of sister and elf fucking mods, and as a bonus it lets you take annoying party members to the middle of the woods and just murder them. Good luck with life OP.
Make some changes in your life. Just do it.
I recently climbed out of this pit of despair because I started an internship somewhere and suddenly my free time is actually worth something and I feel much happier. And I'm enjoying games again. Which is incredible after being dead inside for years.
Hang in there bros. It'll get better eventually.
See it as a T-break from experiencing fun. When you finally do get to feel it again it'll be bliss.
>but limiting the number of frames you get total behind a paywall killed it for me
sell prime parts for plat & buy warframe slots.
I've been a NEET for a year which I'm ashamed of but I couldn't handle the anxiety of uni. After therapy for a while I'm heading back in a few months and hoping that lower amount of free time will be helpful. Been going to the gym for a while too but it doesn't help.
do daily sorties, hope for rng riven mod, do the challenge for it and sell it for plat
i got like a full prime frame set, 2 rare mods and 300 plat from one riven
>bought Grim Dawn
>17 hours put into it in a week
>interest for it just disappears overnight
>back to starting a game and playing it for 20 minutes before closing it and repeating that every hour
>keep telling myself I should mess around and try make some shitty meme game
>haven't even downloaded GM:S
I had a period like that about a year ago, I thought I was just completely over games because I cared more about the world, lore, characters, and pretty much every other aspect that wasn't about it being a game. The key to fixing it is playing something challenging where it's all game play, where you can noticeably improve while you play. I'd recommend Dustforce, Devil Daggers, Downwell, DMC/Bayonetta with the intent of improving your ability to combo, old WAD shooters, NES games, Nuclear Throne, and just in general shit where it's nothing but game play. Dustforce is the big one though, I've never played a game that has let me notice how much I'm improving while playing. You've got to reinforce that video GAMES are in fact games and not just interactive stories for you to consume.
Hardly. I'm chasing what I loved about games but which, it seems, is something that is being phased out entirely. Games like the original XCOM:UFO, like Morrowind, like Dwarf Fortress - games big and complex enough that you have to think, that there's too much to them to simply identify one overpowered strategy and stick with it. Games where I actually had to think, weigh multiple factors, and make uncertain decisions to succeed.
Nowadays, everything just keeps getting dumbed down, keeps getting simplified. It's like they are making even the strategy series try to cater to the lowest common denominator. Far from requiring you to think, they go so far as to hand you the fucking answers.
>I can more about the lore and the immersion and atmosphere, I care little about "gameplay" anymore
Maybe try a story-centric visual novel and see if you like it? Reading a few of those when you are tired of hollow open worlds and jump mechanics can be a nice change of pace. It also regenerates the interest in gameplay over time, since you'll eventually end up saturaded of just story and no play. Then you restart the cycle.
whenever i play games now i just use cheats to give me god mode. i want to experience the world, i really dont care about the challenge, having to do something over again sucks
Elona.
im not tired of games, im tired of life. i have learnt too many harsh truths to enjoy things
i wanted to play new vegas again but all i have is my laptop. can’t remember which mods load order and patches i used to run at 45 fps can only get it at 26-29
really itching my autism since i can’t fix it
When I was 15 I used to let the computer on during the night with a tipex on the casting key in Oblibion to train Destruction. After a while I realized how idiotic that was and used cheats to train every trainable skill without the hassle. Then level skaling hit and I had to use even more cheats to fix up the mess. Bottom line, modern games are designed to have you running in the hamster wheel instead of having fun.
I have a hard time concentrating unless I'm obsessed with what I'm playing.

I just want it all to be over, man. i feel like everyone is just kidding themselves and it's pointless to try so hard. chester benningham was right: in the end, it doesn't even matter.
I just watch longplays
I can't guarentee it'll work for you, but I was completely burnt out about 6 months ago, was pretty sure I was done with vidya for good. As a last gasp effort I started a new AC: New Leaf town and committed to playing for half an hour to an hour everyday, since thats all my attention could handle and thats all you need to do in that game
6 months later and now the game feeds a crack like addiction for me. Probably played for about 5 hours today, but to be fair thats cause its Halloween
just finished Max Payne 3
might finish up F.E.A.R tonight
got a Vice city file going
one of the reasons i started streaming
Dwarf Fortress is supposed to be getting a new version very soon.
Also, if you liked the original X-COM then you should try Jagged Alliance 2.
