Suddenly bored with gaming!

post #1 of 20
5/23/12 at 2:22am
Thread Starter 
I've hit the wall. The Skyrim wall that is. I've been playing it exclusively for the past 3 months or so. I've done about 5 characters and seen most, but certainly not all of the game world. I just have no desire to continue again...

So I thought I would get back into Star Trek Online. After 20 minutes I was bored.

Then I tried the TF2 and L4D2, both popular choices with me.... nope, bored after an hour. The servers seem a bit... empty of late?

Currently I'm back playing Sid Meier's Pirates! (2004 version) which is fun, but no doubt will be bored of it soon!

An excellent opportunity to "get a life", then! wink.gif

You know, you don't have to spend all your spare time gaming.

EDIT: Not meant as criticism. Just a suggestion to do something else.

Lol, I only game about 1-2 hours a day redface.gif

I'm not one of those "no life" gamers.

We're getting older frown.gif

Anyway, I still hope GW2 will provide some entertainment, since the BWE was surprisingly entertaining.

To be honest, for some, gaming is a way of life. It sure does pay well if you're successful. As for games, I've more or less lost my fire for any game at the moment. Not much you can do but wait until a game comes along to really capture your attention again.

HoN, LoL or DOTA 2. Pick one and play no more than 1 match a day.

Don't play any games at all for a month, then start playing them again.

Did somebody say Gamers Depression? You just need to take like a few months break from gaming. It'll have you craving all those games you were previously bored of. For me it took 3 months. -_-'

EDIT: This guy above me has the right idea too. ^

Hmm I do like that idea. And what better time to stop than the beginning of summer?
