I am getting bored, again.
I tried restarting it again because they had added new things, but it all boiled down to not anything that interesting. So i got bored after playing it a couple days.
Its just not good enough for me to just build bases and upgrade stuff.

I have tried reasoning why i cant play it anymore, and i really think its because the game offers no challenge at all. So i just get tired of all the fetch items to build/upgrade tasks after a while. Exploration isn't there either, its just repetition.

I just have to accept that this game does nothing for me.
A mile wide and inches deep is quite fitting.

Why do i post this?
Don't know. Its just how i feel about it.

I'm not trying to be funny or condescending here, but if you're getting bored, then maybe go play something else for a while...
Come back when/if you're actually excited about it.

Hi

Thanks for sharing

Don't start a new save for this update...
He's taking a break from New World. Where he is also bored and moderately disgusted iirc. LOL

Think i have realised i am done. Its obviously not my kind of game.
The endless repetition of fetch tasks is just not a game play loop i am interested in.
I have have actually fallen asleep and rammed my ship into the ground countless times.
That in itself should make me do something else :steammocking:

Well if the developer team of New World had more sense than a cage full of monkeys, that would matter.
But they dont :steamsad:

There's nothing wrong with being bored of the games you've been playing recently. Don't let them get to you. You might just need a change of pace. It's so easy to get stuck in a daily repetition.

Some of your options could be:
Find another hobby (I'm not saying just give up gaming, I mean in addition)
Learn a language
Learn a new skill (I learned how to brew my own beer)
Read that book you've been meaning to
Learn to cook your girlfriends/boyfriends favorite dish (and cook it well)
Start hanging out at a local spot where other people share your interests
Go to the coffee shop, just sit at a table, sip on your coffee, and people-watch
Head to your local pub
Volunteer in the community

You know, I think many of us have that problem. Yes this game is good, but I've played off and on since 16 as it is, so I see where you come from in a way. I play the game every so often, but then I drift away for a while, then come back, etc...

You are not alone...
I come back after each update to see if there is more substance to draw me back in, but there isn't. For me, there needs to be more action, more adventure, and more secrets to discover. The planets are beautiful and large, but there's just not much to do on them. And the mechanical enemies are blasé and annoying at most.

Not trying to be mean or judgy here, BUT: If you are the kind of person who needs a game to hold your hand through a whole story line, and basically tell you how to play the game the entire time, this game just might not be for you.

If you don't have an active imagination, and an ability to keep yourself entertained outside of the game, your not gonna do it inside this game either.

I never get board in this game. Some days I just go out and shoot Space Potatoes for a few hours, sometimes Im on an adventure to find a certain kind of planet, sometimes Im building a TechHut, sometimes Im building a Roman Villa, sometimes Im on a fishing adventure... the only limits this game has is the players imagination... so... yea.

Have you tried building a base? I find that gives a lot of value to the game. I like to go exploring and bring home things for my base.
