Don't feel like gaming.. getting bored in minutes! anyone?

[959]

For the last 9/10 months, I haven't played a game seriously or at all! I want too but when i do it, i can't! it's really annoying. I used to LOVE playing video games being doing it since i was little, I loved playing competitively or FPS games in general but i can't seem to get myself too even start up a game now any tips too get a feel for it again? we have all been there before i hope! sorry for my terrible English btw.

*Update time*

It's been roughly 2 years and after posting this my life changed dramatically due covid I started freelancing as a photographer and helping people with mental help completely changing my life-style and routine, finding myself and more about who i am as a person and learning about myself daily.. i've kinda moved away from Video Games but still play a game if i want too, i've found more interest in helping others and new hobbies which are more outgoing and interesting too me so that's keeping me busy and healthy either way thank you for posting a comments and suggestions, it's much appreciated!

Same man. Can barely manage an hour or two in a session these days. Bored ten minutes in, like you said.

take a nostalgia trip to some games from your childhood

Same here. I sorted this problem by finding new stuff to do in my time, such as cycling or learning new things. Feel a lot better not playing as much.

Let the gamer flow through you.

shaddup WALTER.

Trust me i've been through this, in order to regain your interest in gaming you must get accustomed to a very normal life style with minimal gaming. Every elite gamer goes through this phase.

Have a break and do something else...

Yep, these days I'm just not about that life. I've been watching movies, reading books, and working out. I have no taste for games as of late.

Sadly not for me.. being doing so much different stuff for the last 9/10 months ''photography, editing, meeting new people, making new friends'' maybe i just grew out of it, but i'm not sure.. i really wanna play some new games but i can't manage to get myself to start one up anymore lol

Aye could be the growing out of it thing. I know exactly where you are coming from especially if you have been gaming for a long time :) Maybe external factors are causing this subconsciously. That's what i'm putting it down to for me personally.
I just cant seem to concentrate like i used to in games and makes it a poor experience or simply not enjoyable and i would rather be doing something else. Its so wierd and does not feel like normal game burnout one bit. I suppose if you are doing something productive overall, then that's worth feeling good about at least. Hopefully its a passing thing :)

Honestly the thing hits me alot these days, i buy a game, and i don't like it. Out of i think 20 new games i played, the only ones that stuck to me that i played alot were Mafia 3 [yes that] and Dynasty Warriors 4. Now im on Forza Horizon 4, its fine, apart from first 10 hours which, i had some issues, its enjoyable, but not to same extent as i had games before this year. Planning on few more till end of year but honestly i might just go off by this point.

Wait for PS5.

It will have special haptic feedback that will be much more immersive.

I used to be all about game play this and game play that but not anymore. Only story driven games and exploration with open world element will keep me playing games.

I just want a grand open world single player game as big as real life where you can explore hundreds of countries around the world. Probably hundred times bigger than Skyrim or GTV 5. I know, never going to happen. We have google maps but that doesn't count.

It will happen, and crunch time will be legendary.
