Getting Boring or is me?

[oz Helix oz]

I was entertained for hours doing side missions and gigs, but I kind of found the gameplay monotonous. I'm using katanas and an assault rifle, but it gets monotonous over time.

I've been getting bored of games for a while now, I find them monotonous, especially the open world ones, which are or were my favorites.

Variety is the spice of life, get other type of things to do. Get to learn to do something new, another language, art, carpentry, gardening... or maybe hang out more with your friends or make new groups of friends. Many things to do in life, look at yourself and feel what`s the itch, death is monotony.

Not everyone turns into a jaded ♥♥♥♥ who can't enjoy things.

I'm 70 and now tend to play game in a different way then I did when younger. I tend to mess about more in them rather than a serious play-through. I find this light hearted approach keeps me interested more and for longer.
Age and gaming are a great thing, they keep you from vegetating. To many old gits sit in front of the tv all day then wonder why they can't remember what they ate yesterday.

Not boring at all for me. I'm on 1.63 and using tons of mods to enhance my experience. Eventually when the essential mods that I need catch up, I'll move to 2.0, but that won't be anytime soon; if at all if some don't get updated.

Im old and this game is super boring for me. I dont know why, plot is just extremely boring.

But if i forget main missions, install WeMod and play with all of the perks, it becomes a little bit fun.

I dunno what to think about this, city looks great, driving around is cool but feels like actual game is boring.

Reinstalled GTA 3 lately and its so much fun compared to this.

I have a fairly social life, I'm married and we're always doing something, that's not the problem. The problem is that I get tired of games quickly, everything goes well, but there comes a time when it becomes monotonous.

its probably setting. to play these games you need to be in isolation to enjoy it the best. if you are getting interrupted often or if tomorrows plans keep going into your mind. you wont be able to game. I suggest finding a online competitive multiplayer games to use your time on.

I find I get fatigued really easily with open world games like GTA, Spiderman, Days gone etc. They end up becoming map icon chasers to me, going from point to point engaging in repetitious gameplay elements. I can hold on longer for the RPG ones due to narrative.

yes, this happen to me. I've been trying to start Red Dead Redemption 2 for years, but I know I'm going to get tired because the map is too big.

[kutyax]

sometimes i burn out from open world games too.
its a sign you have to do something else, then return a few months later.

Yeah i officially entered middle age recently. I'm often trying to recapture those moments when i played certain games when i was a kid/teen, and while it does happen sometimes that a game sucks me in and i'm hooked, there are times when i just feel bored or simply too tired after a day of work and coming home to a crying 3 year old. There are times when i play a lot and times when i don't really play anything for 3 months straight.

And that's a totally fair example.

Many players enjoy a narrative driven open world more so than a sandbox. I'm the exact opposite myself and prefer more of a GTA Online type of game.

While I do enjoy narratives, I also need sand in the box to maintain my interests. Stories generally don't go very far with me on their own, but if you take a solid story and combine it with tons of side activities, interactive elements, and my preference a companion system, then a game will have my attention for a very long time. This is essentially why I prefer the modded Cyberpunk 2077 over the vanilla game, because mods add fun little elements that developers often ignore.

Not a you problem, it's modern AAA gaming in general that's the problem. Cyberpunk is "ok" at best up until the end of the first act. I find it worse than boring after. It's downright tedious . They didn't revamp the entire gameplay system because it was too fun. The game has zero reward system. Fighting brain dead bullet sponge's grows old real quick. Increase their health pool and it becomes tedious. It's not your age.

Cyberpunk is a Mcdonalds Happy Meal at steakhouse prices. Your maturity and level of cultural taste know that now, so just eat elsewhere.
