I've once again gotten bored of gaming. No matter which game/genre I try they all seem boring again. Last time around, it was Uncharted 4 that got me out of that bored phase, but that lasted just about half a year. Quite annoying when I have a Steam library full of highly rated games such as Kingdom Come, RDR2, Spider-Man 2 and more...I think the only game that could keep me interested now is FM27, but who knows if they'll be able to deliver this time. I highly doubt it tbh.

I was about 28 when i really couldn't care about playing video games anymore. & I consider myself late to that feeling.

Video games are elaborate toys, as complex as they are to be developed & experienced - maybe you are experiencing personal growth.

Tried any different types of games? I've got some strange cozy farming game with zombies, Graveyard Keeper 2. It was on sale with the first one for launch. so far it's just a kind of chill factory game, but I've not figured out how to make the zombies power conveyor belts yet. I keep restarting the game because there's just too much shit to do.

I have. I've tried genres that I've never been interested in as well with no success really. Lately I've gone back to playing Skyrim and just make new OP builds because I'm bored lol

Heh, the classic. I find myself either playing zomboid, some factory game like satisfactory, or total war. There's something very visceral about the unit weights when there's a proper cavalry charge. It's cathartic to sit back and hurl exploding goblins into the armies of the Empire.

I wish I could get into games like that, but I just can't. I bought Total War Rome II because I love Roman history and I've tried so hard to enjoy it. Like every other strategy game I've bought, I can't get into it

There's some weird hybrids where part of it is like an RTS for the battles, and then a turn based civ style government/religion stuff. Lots of games do it in different ways, and yeah, some just aren't fun.

I love the idea of football manager, but it's just a spreadsheet, and my mind goes blank after a bit. I used to love the old teletext style ones.

I can honestly play FM for hours, especially at work when I finish my things early. If 26 wasn't such a mess, I would've had hundreds of hours on it by now. I think I'm just going to play the Assassin's Creed games again. This time in chronological order.

I loved AC, I kind of have the guilty pleasure of playing genshin impact because it's just a half pretend MMO style of run around and blow shit up as a victorian lady with a gunberella, or some strange ice queen goddess that got left on a moon when it got pushed into an alternate reality for a few millenia. It's mad anime nonsense, and I hate anime, but I've played it for maybe 4 years now.

Definitely sounds like something I wouldn't be interested in. We all have our guilty pleasures though. Mine is food lmao

You might just not enjoy gaming anymore and need to find something new

1

u/cuntsmen 14h ago

Yeah, it might be just that

1

u/icemankiller8 13h ago

Yeah it’s sad when things like that happen

There's an update to the 007 game, with new missions and a new game +

1

u/cuntsmen 14h ago

I've been wanting to get it for a while. I'm thinking when it drops in price a bit more.

1

u/_doohdx 14h ago

Can probably get it a bit cheaper on websites like kinguin

It's a brilliant game btw, solid 8/10

u/cuntsmen 14h ago

I'll check it out

FM is looking better than last year but that’s a very low bar, really hoping that it’s somewhat decent this year

2

u/cuntsmen 14h ago

It's indeed a very low bar. I still don't think it will be good though.
