Lost the love for gaming

[BAND1T]

Hey, recently I really lost love for gaming, most games I play keep me busy for 2/3 hours and I get bored of them, they're repetitive, bland and just boring

I really like to play fast based fps like R6S, csgo etc but they're my go to games I just like to play with friends etc but sometimes when I come back home from work I really want to just chill and have fun

What games would you recommend that would make me fall in love with gaming back again? any genre, any length, anything with good story

And yes, I played most of the top recommended games such as witcher 3, rdr2 etc just want something different this time, something that will surprise me

Any chance for help from fellow gamers?
Thanks

[BAND1T]

Lucky for you, Room of 1000 Snakes is still playable in Internet Explorer (or MS Edge in IE mode)!

Seriously though, rather than trying to force yourself to enjoy playing games, do something else until you actually want to play something. It's normal for the brain to not be satisfied with the same kind of activity forever.

Yeah, maybe you're right

I actually had a thought other day to get a lego set or these glue up models of cars, airplanes etc maybe i'll just do that a lay of gaming for sometime
Literally past few weeks I just been scrolling through reddit and trying to think what game i can play to have bit of fun before bed

any way, its nearly 3am so i better get to bed lol

I'm having the same problem. I had been having fun BSing on Steam, but the constant need for self-censorship has taken all the joy from being creative away from the forums.

Ironic that the people who claim jokes are harmful are the same ones sending me into a spiraling depression by preventing me from preserving my mental health the best way I know how. Now if I get permabanned for this commentary while also burned out on games...

That'll be something worth laughing at.

At least there's always twitter and reddi- oh wait...

Hey come on we Gamers we know what playing on hard mode is like. No gamer over man. We level up and grind our way through for the lols. With (pixel) blood, (butt crack) sweat and tears (of mountain dew).

Gentleman, social media is a mistake don't bother with that meaningless endless void. Rather focus on new hobbies and/or in improving yourself be it adquiring new skills or useful knowledge like First Aid as an example.

You really can't go wrong with these 2

I don't know if you already have these since your games are private.

games are pretty much all boring these days and i have completely stopped playing them because there's nothing of real interest to me anymore.

If you're experiencing burnout, do something else for a while. I've been a bit burnt out on video games for the past several days, so I decided I'd get more exercise. Walked 10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miles in 3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ days. Was what I needed, though you might need something else. And as for hype, when in doubt if a game is being hyped, you should not buy into it, certainly not preorder, and instead exercise caution.

Because when in doubt, the level of hype present within the marketing campaign for a game - alongside, perhaps, any viral marketing done by paid shills on various forums, imageboards and social media sites - is inverse to the overall quality and thus worth of the game. With some exceptions, but there are those to each and every rule.

Also just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. It just means that it's popular. A ♥♥♥♥ taco could be popular but that wouldn't make it good. Would just mean that Taco Bell put something other in their cuisine other than chihuahua.

Good, your finally understanding the reality. I honestly think it's a great losing taste to video gaming, as it wastes so muccchhh time that can be valuably used.

I absolutely despise this view.

Almost ALL hobbies are a "waste of time" in the sense that nothing particularly productive gets done. Whether they're actually a waste of your time or not is based on whether you actually get something from it or not. If you enjoy it, it's not a waste of time, it's that simple.

hmm i have some games that you might like

starblast.io, there is a version of it on steam but for now i recomend playing the web browser version... granted i recomend playing only the good game mods (modding space) if it says "capture the flag" "ailen intrusion" and "destroy the mothership" click on those.

warmerise red vs blue, recomended you play with music. first try out different mouse sensitivities. then disable iron sights and show fps. i also recomend memorising the controls. V grenade. T/Y to chat. classic wasd shift " " movement

pro tip: press W+A/D+shift+space for a dodge jump that lets you get to where you need to go relitivly quickly compared to just foward jumping and sprinting.

semi hard to master. even harder to master adrenaline manipulation but once you do. ohh man it feels good

adrenaline manipulation: for this you must play some music, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VRbLR71Gg4

realy gets me fuled with adrenaline. it just feels like the whole match is counting on you (and that other person who is good at the game) your hand shaking. causing semi random camera movements in all directions. its a total warzone. wait a second too long and the adrenaline is gone. the power is gone, no matter how angry you get its gone. but that wont exactly be the case. because once you have it. either you win or you die (in game) trying.

for longer matches i recomend playing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=495MUfrcbMc
wait for the match timer to be at 6:28 to play this. then is syncs up. then its realy all counting on you. with your movements as fast as something realy fast kill after kill its envigorating, weather your a sniper main, a machine gun main or a shotgun main it doesnt matter. once you start blasting this its an almost ensured victory. with a match so impressive you will look back on it for months thinking "dang i did that". all just to not let the flame die out.

if that doesnt work try googling "io games" its free, entertaining and something to try.

i also recomend rooftop snipers and getaway shootout

@ROATER Many a truth can be said even in a subtle jest. Yes you have to play clever with comedy these days. Mockery and laughing at is good disinfectant to counter dumb crap.

When you have that parent who lets the kids run wild. No one wants to be around that parent or that kid. Even the parents and kids who are the same don't want to be around that parent or that kid for long. I have faith in human nature to correct itself to a degree and the worm will turn (or it ends up like Wolfenstien or something)?

Some unsolicited advice maybe delete post 23. I don't think this is the hill to die on in off topic.

Yeah no, sorry. I'm done here.

Ok you going full ban Kamikaze up that hill to die on lol. I will fold a pixel flag and do a three gun salute on Stalker SoC for the avatar that was @ROATER. They went out of off topic like a boss.

Kargor, yes Trine 4 is back to the formula that worked. Absolutely gorgeous game, too.

I'm with OP lately too. Don't do much gaming the last few months. I try but end up quitting. I installed and tried Owlboy again for perhaps the 6th time, and ended up remembering that I can't twin-stick fly and shoot at the same time, dying in the tutorial conflict -- again. Uninstall -- again.

Been learning Spanish with Duolingo, and gardening, instead.

Something a little bit different is Dying Light crazy fun parkour, weak in a lot of other areas. Beat it x5 solo. Not even tried the co-op or pvp yet..

I can't handle the crazy glowing undead that come out at night -- at all. Fun game except for that aspect of it. Like most games, I suck at it -- except in the daytime.

Prey -- too hard for me.

Control -- first boss killed me 8 times on easy.

Death Stranding -- gorgeous, but I got frustrated after clearing out a whole town, in the second area, of those NPC delivery guys, which took more than an hour to wait and use my strand on them all, delivered my packages, and had to go back through the area -- and they were all up and patrolling again. "WTF I'm done, this is BS."

sometime when you get tired of gaming one thing that can be fine are simple games where you can play 5 / 10 minutes sessions and be done with it.

sometime all someone might need is fire up something ultra simple like a pinball game for some quick gaming and then move to whatever you feel like doing.

I am good at figuring out how to cheese and exploit my way through games and I rely on muscle memory. I stick at one game for a time. I like died 60+ times on my first Dying Light run. My third run down to a mere four deaths.

Prey after the first couple of hours get easier. I went just full on classic soldier build no typhoon powers, beyond one. Ambush perk with a shotty does massive damage.

Control was fiddly I get why you found that tricky. Stopped playing due to crappy performance on the PS4. It was really cool all the powers and stuff.

Death Stranding lol dumbass me didn't know I could knock out the mules with a kick. I was playing rushing in and out of mule camps like a bat out of hell for a 100 hours. Beat the game about 160+ hour mark. I so took my time with that one for sure.

I have this kinda problem for many years. Its more complicated than just gaming itself though, its called anhedonoia. Its probably not the case for you but for me it is.
