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.

I think it's just a general problem on your end. I've been blasting through PL, on my second playthrough with the Reed ending. I'm gonna try to 100% the game before D4 Season 2 next week, then likely a long break. The game has so much content and feels like an immersive world now. I have just over 400hrs on CP, and still not bored. There are so many ways to play, the build crafting keeps me interested.

Well games tend to get boring after a while, I played MGS V:TPP for 2500 hours (1800 here, and additional 700 on PS3 and 4 maybe more) well I really had fun for a solid 800-1000 hours, then I was mostly cruising every now and then for the remaining hours, I can say I was bored, some games I'm bored after 60 minutes..., read books, maybe try coding or drawing, or 3d modeling/sculpting, do some sport whatever, don't rely exclusively on games to have fun (I don't say it's what you do, I just say in case you do...)

I'm just back after a long break and I'm loving it. Really getting into it. I'm basically God and only mid 40's level with about 50 street cred? Got all the top stuff and some of the quick hacks are great lol. I just found an iconic smg that just mullers everything lmao. Some real high end stuff in the new dlc that makes killing real easy.

I just love looting, breaking it down, crafting and upgrading all my kit. Just deciding what to wear is a mini game in itself. Yeah lots to do.

For me the boring part is the story because the characters talk so slow and there is so much space between the lines. Not to mention, everyone has such a slow, monotone no personality voice.

Part of it is getting older. It's much harder for me to really like films and TV Shows than it used to be. I used to love Star Wars as a kid. Now I can't watch it.

Part of it is that the games are so big now that the novelty wears off before you can complete it.

Witcher 3
Divinity OS 2
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
WarTales

Examples of fantastic games that really hooked me initially but then you hit the 100 hour mark and you find yourself losing that sense of excitement. Then a new game comes along and you play that with the good intention of returning to complete the previous games. But don't.

Back in the days videogames were made with passion, nowadays with excel sheets and marketing analysts.

We are the customer but also we are the product.

No surprise often it feels shallow to play a game because especially games from the big companies are a soulless combination of the most "promising" game mechanics to keep players busy and "entertained", according to analyst tools.

Its an industry. I cant find magic in an industry.

That being said, Cyberpunk is definitely one of the rare games nowadays which got me excited to play. Alone for that im thankful.

Story is fun to "watch" but I never liked the gameplay of this one. can't believe the same guys developed Witcher 3.

witcher 3 gameplay was way worse than this lol

true

and witcher 4 will be way worse cause all the old devs left

Cyberpunk is just another mediocre game at best with lots in quantity and not much quality; It was never the bugs, the games core design is whats wrong. You just need to find something with genuine depth and quality to bring back that same joy for me personally i think baldurs gate 3 gave me that so much depth and quality quickly becoming my fave game of all time another game that gave me that feeling was outer-wilds. There are so many new AAA games out this year that are actually fun as well totk, armored core, dead space remake come to mind.

This just seems like a boring GTA clone to me. Why do I still play open world games? they are so boring but I keep coming back to them in hope I´ll feel what I felt playing these type of games as a kid.

Then dont play video games if they bore you. Problem solved.

Here's the problem with your comment.

1) The OP is long gone.
2) The OP is not you, and has plainly said that they are getting bored with games as of late.


If the OP has only put 24.4 hours into this game, which is enough to get plenty of gigs and story done, then they simply don't like the gameplay loop. I.e, boring -> for them.

I've put 859.6 hours into this game, but I'm also using mods, so I don't feel what the OP feels, however I also won't belittle how the OP feels. If the OP isn't feeling the game, then the OP simply isn't feeling the game, and that's totally fine.

The bottom line though, is that everyone is different and don't enjoy the same things. What's fun for you, isn't always going to be fun for others, and vice-versa.

It's time to take a couple months off from gaming and start streaming stuff. I find I can't game incessantly anymore either. Gotta step away for a while and get back to it.

As someone else said...means you're getting old...lol

Dude, this thread is over 6 months old and the OP themselves hasn’t replied in 6+ months.

Even pushing this aside, your post is demonstrably false and incorrect. No, you cannot “do anything”; the game is not a sandbox and has never been a sandbox. As a matter of fact, CDPR games in general are notoriously lacking in sandbox elements (hope they improve massively in this department in their future games).

And it isn’t a matter of “play(ing) the game nicely”. Burnout is a real phenomenon and advising the OP to keep playing the game is not only counterintuitive but also detrimental to treating burnout.

If anything, the OP should stay away from the game until they feel ready to come back.

Rather a pointless necro.

Please do look at the date of the original post before replying to threads.
