Anyone Feel Like Gaming is Dying?
I have over 110 games on my account, notably RDR2, JC4,HOi4, Arma 3, War Thunder, etc. and I look at it and it just feels like nothing is fun anymore. Either the fun died because things changed (RDR isn't fun because I don't talk to the friends I played with anymore) HOI4 is the same old thing after you play each country, JC4 is just a failed JC, and WT requires you to spend a metric fck ton of money to get anywhere.

So here's my 2 questions.

Do you agree?
Do you have any game suggestions?

Gaming is still strong, what matters is not the medium as whole, but rather where you look. Since there are still plenty of good games that came out within the last 3-4 years like Doom Eternal, Total War: Warhammer II, Half-Life: Alyx, and Psychonauts 2. Each generation has had it's ups and downs and everyone has preferences.

I do not think gaming is dying, people may look mostly at new titles, but there are a lot of "hidden gems" from the past that are absolutely worth playing.
Gaming in VR also looks very promising in the future.

Lol none of those rlly fit my interest. I'm more into shooters like Tarkov with less stress and can be played more casually. Maybe like a Tarkov-BF mix, with BF style gamemodes and tarkov mechanics and graphics.

For sure, they just don't get any marketing and it's hard to find em

Nope. Plenty of great games, in a vast variety of styles and genres, being played by hundreds of millions of players tends to disagree with you.

Their store pages still show that there are plenty of modern games that are enjoyed by millions of players.

I find there are too many games to play and too little time to play them all. Since i play one game at a time till the end.

After you've played a hundred games, don't you think it's time to stop?
This is like eating a hundred icecreams and then saying that you're tired of eating icecream.
I HOPE that gaming dies. Gaming SHOULD die. I remember back when I started playing games, I told myself that it was all about "developing hand eye coordination", like that meant something. ...but at least back then games actually TESTED you. You guys who grew up in the 90s and later, you have no idea what challenge means.
...so as far as I'm concerned, gaming died with Doom and the PC. What we have now is just suckering little kids out of their money while telling them that they're awesome and amazing.
...but even so, I can't say that gaming has improved my life. Even the most perfect game - Haydee and Haydee 2 - didn't contribute that much to my life.

I don't agree, and I think it's more of a personal feeling than anything about the industry as a whole.

My suggestion as to how I get over the feeling of "I don't feel like playing anything anymore" is simply to go do something else and wait it out, and also be open to trying something weird and new and also be willing to explore a bit to find a specific thing I want to play. I don't always want to play games, so sometimes I just don't play games for a while, and go do other hobbies. Eventually I come back to feeling like playing.

And at other times I want to play something oddly specific e.g. "I want to explore abandoned ancient ruins" or "I want to play as a female knight" or such. I don't always find something that tickles a given fancy, but by letting myself explore these fancies I sometimes end up finding some interesting games I might not have otherwise known about.

I think gaming is evolving, I hope one day it becomes the biggest industry.

No, there are so many yet to released games in my wishlist. Heck, my wishlist is triple the size of your library, OP.

You're in a "burnout" phase. I"ve had such phases a few timee in the past 30+ years of gaming. Do other things outside gaming and within gaming try something different, for example different genres. But there is nothing wrong with not gaming for a while.

Also always keep in mind that just because you (momentarily) can't find fun in something, that's not representative of a whole industry.

Nope, and I can tell you where your error in thinking is OP, because I'd say EVERYBODY suffers this at some point. I've seen in countless times over the decades.

The problem is, and I would guess here that you're probably older into your twenties now (or at least in a better economic situation than the previous era you're speaking of), that of your situation changing.

Most gamers start out as kids, and in those days, you don't have your own income. So every game you get for birthday, or via pocket money is precious and you choose accordingly. Because you tend to have a limited pool of these higher scorng games (let's say), you value them and replay them more.

However, come the time when you're in work and get to have at least a bit of expendable income, that changes. You both afford to buy more games and because of that you will inevitably buy games that aren't the few highest scoring ones.

These two reasons alone can make you think what you're thinking - you value them less because you have more and some of them don't seem as attractive as the best of the best you perhaps had when you were younger. but also you get the "spoiled for choice" problem.

I have thousands of games across over 70 platforms because I don't sell games, always kept them. I've had this myself from time to time. You just look at them and think "I don't want to play any of these".

But it DOES NOT mean the games are to blame nor the industry or anything - it's YOU.

You're just not wanting to play games.

So here's what to try - don't force it. You'll end up just hating your hobby. Find somethingn else to do.

For myself I'm lucky in that I have a load of hobbies and all the time in the world to do them. So when it happens to me, I'll bugger off and play with synthesizers, make music, play records, read books, repair some electronics, play pinball, etc.

Just forget about gaming until you get the pull to go back. Again, normally for me this usually happens when I suddenly think about a game and think "Hey yeah, I want to play that now" and that usually kick starts things off again. It can sometimes be just a break of a few hours, sometimes days.

I also find that this especially can kick in somewhat if you've just finished a pretty major compelling game. You feel a bit "well, what now?" and similarly in those cases, I go and do something else.


Hope this helps you.

For me it's more about games going further away from what I enjoy.
I'm not part of the people that large companies, or even middle ones make games toward. :(
