"gaming isn't fun anymore." 

My new video just came out! "Do Games Still Need Tutorials?" - Check it out if you want to hear me yap some more :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-93QlshEHh-0.html

imagine eating exclusively from one fast food chain, wondering why you're finding the culinary experience repetitive and feeling physically unwell, then blaming the concept of food itself

"Gaming isnt fun anymore" is the new "I was born in the wrong generation" for me

I love “gaming isn’t fun anymore” TikTok’s because they are usually not even 16y/o. “Guess this is growing up” No Timmy, you have an English paper due tomorrow and you’re stressed

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GAMES GET BORING WHEN YOU PLAYED THEM FOR 5 YEARS STRAIGHT WITHOUT TRYING ANY OTHERS?! THATS IMPOSSIBLE"

another thing is that as adults you already played a lot of games and you start noticing every small mistake on old/new games, as children you don't really notice them

The real solution is to get a life outside of video games. You can’t relax if you’re always relaxing

For me, I vibed with the “gaming isn’t fun anymore” because I’ve entered a really stressful period of my life where I feel guilty when I “waste time”. I can’t relax or escape because I feel like I need to be doing something else, something more important, something adult. I only have a few hours in the day for personal time, but I’m more aware of the opportunity costs. Gaming hasn’t changed; it’s me. The feeling I miss is one where I don’t judge or critique myself for how I spend my downtime (or having downtime at all, really).

Playing what the boys are playing is too true lol, all my friends just play the shiny new multi player fps, while I sit around playing single player games

The whole ‘try something different’ mantra can also be applied to the games themselves! I was getting pretty burnt out on Minecraft, so when 1.20 dropped I decided to try living in a biome I hadn’t before. It was the fresh slate I needed to enjoy the game again, new challenges, new building styles, it’s now the longest world I’ve ever played on.

I'm so fucking glad someone finally made a video on this. I'd type out a long message. But you pretty much hit it right on the head. People only fucking play COD and FIFA then are absolutely fucking flabbergasted when the new cod isn't "fun" (it's literally the exact same game for the last 10 years)

"Why isn't gaming fun anymore?" - Person who only plays two genres of videogames at most

Video games are art in my eyes. It’s a beautiful representation of imagination with all angles and the gameplay is a coordination and problem solving practice.

The strange habit people have of playing the same game they stopped having fun with a long time ago is what fuels these videos. People strangely believe that every game should be fresh and fun forever, and that dropping a game is a big deal when it really isn't. Gamers need to learn how to move on and change, even if it just means playing something different

the fact that every one of those videos can be condensed down into "I got bored of that one game that I put 5000 hours into as a child isn't fun anymore therefore all video games arn't fun anymore" is insane.

I think some people just need to find that one game that makes them realize again why they love video games. This could be a game from their childhood that they remember or a game they haven't discovered yet. For me, when none of the games I often play are appealing to me, I dust off the old Wii and find some games to play there

Even though Minecraft gets a little boring for me too, it's still a total blast playing it with friends!

The game that kind of broke me out of this mentality that I started to have for years was Persona 5. I went into it completely blind and in the first five minutes I was completely confused and just wanting to see what came next. Just made me realize all I ever play is shooters and strategy games and I just needed to try something new. VR has been the same way.

Somepne please tell me if any of the ppl who make "gaming isnt fun anymore vids" have made a response to this vid cus i rlly wanna see if theyre pissed off at the stuff expressed here

"Gaming isn't fun anymore" mfs when i show them: (any indie game released in the last 5 years)

Depression can also be a key factor for games not being fun anymore, on my lowest low everything seemed just mundane and boring to do and even questioning "why did I get this or do I even deserve to play this?"

Thank you for shedding some light onto this obnoxious genre of videos 💀 I feel the same way with them and feel like these kind of people are just really bored with life and play the same 3 games every day

Im actually happy that my uncles introduced me to different kinds of games instead of just cod, thanks to them I was interest in all types of genres which made me much more interested whenever a new game would come out

Influencer: "gaming isn't fun anymore" Translation: "I burnt myself out playing the same games over and over for sweet, sweet, profit. But now I realized I get more profit from just lazily repeating the same unnuanced criticisms than I did when I actually put work in to make a positive video."

THANK YOU 😭😭😭 I've been so exhausted by these pretentious video essays that try so hard to be deep. Not just essays for games, but even movie and show essayists are like this a lot.

How to Make Gaming Fun Again "Stop Playing the Same Game and Genre Over and Over for 100+ hours every day, And Play Something New Once and For a While"

“Just play indie games” is my response to people complaining about not liking video games anymore while only playing AAA PvP shooters

I was starting to get burnt out on games as well. I used to be anti-indie games because I considered them “unpolished” and “not actual games”. Funny enough, that could be said about AAA games like Halo Infinite, which is still an undercooked unfinished game. But as an artist, I wanted to try a new medium, and I always loved games. So I discovered dev logs and how much more artistic indie games could be. I’ve discovered punch o bunch, risk of rain, and other games I think I would love to try out which has definitely resparked my love for gaming. I got back into Space Engineers and Dark Souls and now I wanna even do a LASO run through the Halo games.

One of my favorite lessons is from an indie game itself, "The Messenger": Good memories can be like bad ones. Nostalgia needs to be treated as a passing memory, if you hold on long enough then you only hold yourself back. For being said in a retro-style game, I think it really fits. The shopkeeper either offers great insight or wisecrack comments and I genuinely appreciate 'em

if u get bored playing video games, then you should actually touch some grass... help mom, fix things, do sports, learn something new so much you can do in life then you can go back to games and its gonna be fun again

First, hilarious thumbnail. Second, we definitely need more videos like this. There are literally too many games out there to try yet people have the nerve to say gaming fell off 😂

You shouldn’t try to have fun, you just have fun. It’s the point of gaming, but you can’t force it.

Games haven't changed. YOU changed. What isn't fun for you anymore, is probably a blast for someone else.

Oh, thank goodness! I've been similarly annoyed by how frequently those videos pop up and how frequently they turn personal hangups into condemnations of gaming in general. Good to see a reasonable response!

“Maybe try reading a book”

Its because we are unfortunately in the doomer clout goblin era of the internet. I'm glad you made this video and i agree. its why the variety of games i play helps me keep having fun and occasionally i just shut my consoles off get cozy and watch tv coming back when I'm ready.

people who say "gaming isnt fun anymore" are the people who grew up and just played so many games that they get bored easily. They grew out of gaming, they just dont want to admit it, so they blame it on the game developers.

I think a lot of people tend to impose their personal boredom onto others and pass it off as just them being critical.

I used to be of the mindset that gaming as a whole was just a done and dusted thing for me, then i took a break from my usual rotation of games and started playing other game genres that i never would have normally tried. I've now fallen in love with gaming as a whole again. If you find yourself not having fun with gaming as a whole, take a break or maybe try something completely foreign to you. Gaming should be fun, not feel like a chore.

Ive found myself unable to start new games due to depression. Now that im slowly coming back, its so much fun

I had been in this place around year 2015. Believe it or not, i have been playing games from a year 1996, when i was 3 years old. Always a hobby for me, i tryed going pro a little bit, but didnt like the experience. Anyway, i had this "gaming isnt fun anymore" phase and then came Undertale. Damn, i had it completely wrong, its not the games, its me. It was the way i looked on the them and how i consumed them. When you are an adult and start making your own money, the scarcity of games you had as a kid, is gone. Suddenly, you can buy anything, anytime and that scared me. However i learned to move past it and now, enjoying the hobby more then ever. There is a real issue with the quality of the games though, especially AAA. I am always longing for raw emotinal experience, which can be even better with games, since its an interactive medium. A rare thing in todays market, since for it, the game has to be made from passion and love for games. I was lucky though, since two weeks ago, i happened to play Snoot game and... yea. I have to say, there is yet a lot i have to learn, about myself and other things. Some may think i am childish for games to have such an impact on me and my life, maybe, but i have a different theorem, for as a medium, the games have been with me the longest, what else, if not them, should guide me forward?

As a college art student this actually helped me overcome my artists block by applying the same mentality here. Thank you!

The fact that there are as many videos saying this was the best year for gaming in a long time as there are saying gaming has never been worse is honestly pretty hilarious.

There's also this quote, "the world wasn't perfect when you were a child, you were just too little to realize the flause"

I think a big problem that people aren't considering is they are only playing video games and nothing else. I remember the summer in which I graduated, and I could play video games all day. At first, it was fun, but then it was so miserable that I was just waiting for college to start so I could do something other than play video games. Now that I have a job and I'm taking college playing video games, it is a lot more fun because I'm not playing every second of every hour of every day. Playi g Video games is supposed to be a hobby, not a lifestyle, You can't just always do what gives you pleasure because pleasure doesn't mean anything without hardship.

Fun fact a symptom of depression is not finding joy from things you love doing.

Im so sick of these fake ass people, thank you for making this video!

If new gen games aren't fun. Go to the classics. Or play single player games. I revisit a lot of single player games during the winter and it's fun.

Bro I am so happy you listed all of the games you showed in the description, people have started to do that with music, but it still needs to become a mainstream standard to list the games you show in your footage in the description thank you so much you're the bomb

Gaming wasn't fun for a while and I realized it was because I kept playing live service games that aren't made to be fun. What really helped me was playing complete experiences like The Gunk, Subnautica, and Yoku's Island Express.

thanks to the creator for writing names of all the games he has shown in the video in the description

“Gaming isn’t fun anymore” insomniac,every indie developer and Nintendo:ok here are some good games

I think why people say "gaming isn't fun anymore" is because they hyper focus on bad games they weren't going to play to begin with and then ignore or downplay every other good game

Whenever I feel like “I dont want to play any of these games,” I just choose a game anyway and usually have a lot of fun

I talked with a friend of mine about this topic because he had played multiplayer games for 10+ years and lately has stated multiple times how "there is nothing to play" and when another friend and i tried to tell him "hey this looks good" he denied every recommendation we had. I understand wanting another big fps or battle royale but my god i just hate not even giving new stuff a try because "ur not feeling it right now" and it's geniuenly just exhausting trying to find a middle ground with people who don't want to try something new.

I play Splatoon all the time, and I continue to find it fun over and over and over! It's so fun! Sometimes, I do switch games, mind you, I just like Splatoon the most.

It really is so heartbreakingly funny that as a child you could just keep consuming game after game after game, but you're likely to be stuck with the same 4 or 5 at any given time. Then as an adult you can buy hundreds of games, but it's difficult to find the motivation to play any of them. You just gotta understand that gaming will never make you feel the same way again, but it can always give you new feelings, as long as you're open to them and put some effort into finding them.

The solution to being bored with gaming is just going and working out. The minute I did I found gaming and chillin w my pc way better

I completely agree with stepping out of your boundaries and trying new games. I was feeling pretty bummed out, then I tried some indie games and others I never really gave a solid shot before, and I had so much fun, I even ended up discovering that I really enjoy roguelikes, which I didn't play much of before. So yes, people need to get outta their comfort zone and maybe they'll rediscover why they enjoyed gaming in the first place

finally a counter video to all those depressing gaming isnt fun anymore videos I always saw, literally what keeps me going is exploring new series I didn't get to experience yet from circumstances like now going up with a playstation but using emulation to help cross that forgotten bridge

I like playing games with friends, its fun. I feel like exploring indie games may be a good idea for some, there are a lot of hidden gems out there. If nothing works maybe take a break from gaming.

2 years ago I found one of those videos and actually related a lot with it. I used to come back from highschool and boot up my PC just to shut it down. But after I finally got rid of shitty multiplayer fps games and started playing singleplayer story games (usually rpg’s) I found my gaming passion again.

This is why I'm always opening myself to different genres/games. I got bored of the usual RPGs I played so I tried Dark Souls, I've been getting really intrigued with immersive sims and I've even been trying games that I never would've expected liking like the Ori games. Plus I'm always looking at franchises that I've been eyeing for a while. It's all about variety when it comes to gaming. It's really hard/stupid to look at a library filled with thousands of games and say "Nothing looks interesting/fun."

people will be like "games are not fun anymore" and play something like valorant

Sometimes you just need a single person or a group of people to play with Having people around you is what makes gaming so much fun

I'm so glad to be on the younger side of gamers. I can play the shiny new FPS, RPG and not get bored of it and when things finally get stale jump to the older classics my eye has never seen (recently started the Bioshock series) and be completely blown away by them.

People needa start realising that there is such a thing called Video Game burn out

Funny how I got recommended the original video when I got burned out on games and now I'm watching this video with having the most fun with gaming I've ever had in my life

It's also important to note that this feeling of "boredom" can occur in any kind of media. I had been listening to a lot of metal, and that's the only thing I'd put on to get through the day. I made a playlist of the best of various genres and bands which actually made my life a lot more fun during work. But when it becomes repetitive? Life suddenly becomes a lot more shittier. What was once working for me, just didn't help. We become like AAA game developers, trying to squeeze out as much money (here, dopamine) as possible. That's when I reached out to another playlist I made a good while back which was a mix of retrowave and darksynth music. It was a good replacement which brought me back to eating all the shit life put on the table for me. Funny thing is, just a while after making the retrowave playlist, I stopped listening to the genre. That's how I got to metal.

Thank you for including the music used in your videos. I love when a track resonantes and the person actually tells me who it is. Its appreciated

I wen through this phase a few months ago, turns out the problem was that i needed to form opinions of the games independently from people on the internet and follow what my tastes are. Rn i am playing MGSV and i just started Majora’s Mask Recomp, which i initially didn’t understand but now i am very excited to continue. I have many more games to play and can’t wait to do so

i think the reason why gaming isn't fun for me is the realization that I want to do other things with my time as an adult. My old childhood favorites will always have a place in my heart for sure, but like with any other hobby, gaming can just be something you grow out of. Which is okay, really. I'm nearly 21, in a serious relationship, and am pursuing my passion as a job. I think its really less that "Video Games aren't fun anymore", and more just a lot of people are outgrowing videogames and wanting to do other stuff. Which I think actually is great: Expanding your horizons, picking up new skills, working to improve yourself... those are all indicators for me of a thriving person. Videogames are still fun. They might just not be "your thing" anymore.

Great vid man, love the points you raise here

I'm 30 years old and I've been playing games for 20 years. This "I'm an adult" thing is bullshit. I have played, play and will always play video games because the amount of games is literally limitless. And yes, I've had that "games aren't fun" moment. Right after I finished The Witcher 3, every game after that looks "soulless", but it's not true.

For me, I think it was just I got burnt out. I took a while off of playing video games to go outside and enjoy nature. I got into a lot of fun hobbies like fishing, Airsoft, hiking, etc. Now that I have those hobbies, and I spend a lot more time outside away from my computer and the internet with friends or family, when I boot up a game it’s fun for me to play. Because I’m not playing video games 24 hours straight, and it’s just a past time for me now between work and other things I do with people.

I remember my friend said he stopped liking video games, but literally all he played was Pokémon and Pokémon rom hacks and exhausting Pokémon challenges. We played Jumping Flash! (literally the first true 3D platformer ever created) and he said it was most fun he’s had with a game for a while.

I feel like the only problem with a lot of modern games is that you need to have a better system to enjoy them which might also be why some people feel like there isn't enough games to try

I wasn't having fun anymore, but I realized I was playing all AAA games. So, I switched to indie and lots of Metroidvania's, and am enjoying myself again. I even started to go for platinums and it helps to keep interest. I hate to be the old man that grew out of one of my favorite hobbies. I realize when I play games like Touhou: Luna Nights and Moonscars, I am still REALLY good at them. Some mechanics I can't pick up on, so then I just switch to a game I can grasp and call it a day. I have found a lot of odd games that I had fun with by just giving something a try. I also tend to look for shorter experiences, so that way I don't have to commit to 100 hours of open world collection games. Great video. In the end, the best thing to do it mix it up.

Dude I 100% agree with you. I recently have been trying to find some new games to play and after trying literally only 2, playing new games suddenly give an immediate feeling of refreshment, and I was having so much fun learning new mechanics. The main issue is that I tend to only watch other people play games on youtube instead of playing them myself, and sadly I never bothered finding my own games to play. But yeah, this makes a lot of sense. Games ARE going to get boring at some point, even if it has been years.

It's funny looking at "growing up" away from video games in my perspective, because as a kid i loved video games, but then at some point stopped playing them. I thought at one point i grew out of the medium, where as now, as i have gotten more invested in video games, not just in playing them, but learning about them and the history, and the unique experiences carved out of them.

i love this, my man really is capable of seeing the wonder and joy in video games. i think you pointed out a really good point, that is when people say “video games aren’t fun” they’re really talking about themselves, not the video games. like it’s impossible to claim meaningfully that gaming as a whole is awful because you’ve play less than 10 games in the last 3 years and obviously would feel it getting stale. having “fun” doesn’t come from doing the same thing over and over again, especially without a goal. i got to immortal in valorant and i just quit the game when i did, i got to where i wanted to be and i was satisfied. trying new things after this was amazing to me, limiting myself to just valorant was fun because it was my choice, and i had a goal i was working towards, AND i didn’t limit myself to just that one game after i was finished with it

I love this man! Some time ago I felt like that too, all I really needed was a break from video games for a while and when I came back with a goal of actually finishing my games, I've now 100% 19 games and at least seen the credits to 46 of them! (Most of them are indie games of course and didn't take 80 hours to beat...)

You woke me up from those RU-vidrs' trends about "how gaming isn't fun" anymore, I loved your counter video and how you managed to express your opinions in such a short time, I always thought for a opinion video to be good you had to make it 30 minutes - 1 hours long but you proved me wrong, I think it's just most people that do a video defending something doesn't know how to do it properly, now when I get a new laptop instead of staring at the roof or blaming the internet for my boredom I'll shrug it off and just try something new, I don't have to play the boys' games everytime :)

i am not lying but ultrakill made me like fps gaming again. corny as it sounds the game is super fun and I never felt so much accomplishness and actual joy learning the patterns to fight against bosses like gabriel and sisyphus. I was just so grogged before hand cuz i would just play the same games over and over again, and ultrakill just ignited that spark in me again to keep gaming

Been gaming since I was a small child and I’m now well into adulthood. It’s still my favorite hobby and I can spend hours at a time on a variety of different games. In fact, some games that I’ve played for years still are able to destroy my sleep schedule 😂

I just tried a new game, a game i would have never played before And it was..... fun Because its something different

I try to expand my pallette but i have a hard time playing something new because im always feel myself wanting to go back to what i play usually

THANK YOU! Damn alot of those videos are annoying. I agree about the micro transactions, loot boxes, and unfinished released games being a problem, but for those that can't get out of their bubble playing the same crap over and over need to branch out and try new things.

Gaming definitely has its moments of low points, but its never just "over" or loses "fun", it just migrates. I grew up loving 3D platformers and early console FPS games. The kind of shooters where the controls were still janky and flawed, but the mechanics still came from a root source and wanted to give you a genuinely fun game, or cool level experiences. In the mid-late PS3 generation, both those types were smacked away and disrespected. 3D platformers were one of those genres the bulk of companies sneered at and said nobody wanted them anymore, because... nobody was making them anymore, so there was no voice outside of scarce few and Nintendo doing a hard eye-roll. FPS? It was the same thing, even if we were "oversaturated", the actual truth was it was basically one style, one ringleader, one "right way" of doing it: COD-style. Awful over-scripted campaigns, no resource systems, no enemy types, multiplayer stripped of all liberating features like server lists and rapid "kill-time" took out any talent or epic battles. Not to mention, online and media around it was just depressing and negative. People were complaining so much about the junk going on, greedy trends were flying off and dying rapidly, devs were talking about how new IPs or X/Y idea was just un-attemptable for profits to the degree of absurdity. It just felt pretty bleak. So what did I actually do? I barely ever played RPGs until that generation. Suddenly the olden boring image of mashing a button to auto-attack, or grinding turn based campaigns, was getting supplanted by games like Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon's Dogma, and a few very quite little titles none of you probably heard of called Dark Souls and Skyrim. Two Worlds 2 was also kind of wacky interesting, and Bioware... holy crap those guys are immensely overrated, but I can't say they didn't entertain me a bit and kept me up reading some wiki pages on the things I did like. And then let's not hide the fact there still was slivers of old reliable fun bleeding through. Bullet Storm was an awesome silly FPS game using some crazyed mixed logic, Resistance 3 is everything that generation of FPS should have been instead of COD, and Crack In Time is a franchise masterpiece. Space Marines is one of the best Warhammer action games we ever got, and let's not forget this was the generation of Uncharted, Red Faction Guerrilla, and we all had a point in which Assassins Creed was actually a ton of fun for us. That was it. The was the worst time in gaming, where it felt like what I was loving was coming to an end, and I still got a ton of kickass experiences out of it. And now where are we at? Doom actually had to wake up again, sigh, and carry the genre on its back again as it re-invigorated and influenced the industry all over again, and Overwatch wasn't really that new but rather the successful hit that reminded people we can choose to be less like COD and look at "fun" environments, colorful worlds, and character designs that actually inspire real gameplay to use in multiplayer again. Now I've got to still finish Boltgun, Ultrakill, Turbo Overkill, I've been wanting to replay Dusk, and then there's an insane world of stuff like Iron Lung to Robocop, etc, etc. And that's overlooking a huge world of indie wonders, backlogs, and wishlisted material I still haven't gotten to. Hollowknight merch fills my home desk from how much I love that game, I am planning to reinstall Hat In Time soon for another play, I still need to get back to Monster Hunter Rise, and have you guys seen that we have two awesome Starship Trooper games around now? I literally can't keep up with it all, and I forgot to even mention Dishonored back in the poor period and that is still in my top-10 games right now. Who the fuck is telling anyone that games aren't fun!? Yeah the live service model is generally cancer, but just avoid those goofs and play some Deep Rock Galactic instead that actually put updates to genuine good use instead.

I just turned 50. Been a gamer since the late 70's....dedicated,hardcore, almost daily. I'm lucky enough to enjoy a three day off a week work schedule. I also make generous paid time off. I just pulled a 4-day farming simulator 22 session. We just grew up? I say screw that. Adulting sucks.😅

Definitely agree with you, all video games are not boring, and we don't get bored of video games just because we grow up. It's a lack of variety and knowing what to play to have fun. I am definitely the guy that only "play with the boys" and we mostly play CS, OW and other shooters which I've been max rank etc. There are not anything new and nothing to grind for anymore. My problem is only that I don't know what to play. I even got a new PC recently, yet I'm bored of everything I play atm.

I went back and played Sonic adventure 2 again. I learned a lot. The polish wasn't as pretty as I remembered and the gameplay was great and the characters fleshed out. It was refreshing for me. The responsive controls and snappy gameplay with characters I love to this day was great and when I was done I realized minecraft was fun again. Even though it's the farthest thing from a super polished Game. It was intricate and in its own blocky way, beautiful. I think its that the repetition of the games makes them feel stale, and we loose appreciation for what makes them great in the first place.

Honestly Virtual Reality has increased my love for gaming tenfold. Playing Blade and sorcery and killing enemies in the most stylish and brutal ways possible is so much fun. Playing modded minecraft in VR is also extremely fun.

but when i tried new game i dont like that game haha dilema

Thanks for making this video before I woke up from my slumber and decided to do it myself. I was sick of seeing those videos recommended to me.

This is so true, there is too many videos like this out there from people who just have no initiative. If you do not enjoy a game, let alone anything in life, why would you not go look for something new to do and enjoy instead of repeating the same thing over and over again? I have played VALORANT for 3 years and mainly just FPS games for 10+ years and stop enjoying those game completely a while back. I went and played completely different games for months (Left 4 Dead, Elden Ring, DS3, DSR, GOW, Fallen Order, GTA 4 and 5 so many more) You need to be able to add variety to what you do because it will never be enjoyable playing only one type of game.

Most of the "games suck nowadays" is just doomertalk, but there is a very real trend of triple A games decreasing in quality every year. You just need to look for indie games and new fun things to try out. COD, Minecraft, Fortnite, etc. have all been decreasing in both popularity and public opinion for a while now. They really just aren't as good. It has nothing to do with "gaming" as a whole, it's just the games themselves.

"we grew up bro" Indeed thats a dumb statement. I had a low with videogames in my twenties and now with 35 years I'm having more fun than ever. Maybe its because I enjoy life alltogether much more than I used to. Maybe those people are bored by videogames because they have a boring life in general? If I would live like a slob with no activities then I could not enjoy anything... Anyway, thank you so much for this video. More big creators need to do videos like that against all these "mimimi gaming isnt fun anymore" videos

It's just the variety of game genres people are missing i play a ton of different games, and the way it works is that i randomly binge in a specific type of game, play that game every single day for weeks until i finish it, and then i proceed to the next style of game i feel like playing once, i wanted to play a post-apocaliptic style of game in a post-soviet scenery, so i started playing stalker clear sky, played through the entirety of the game until i finished, then, i wanted to play Dark Souls, i have played through the beginning of it once in a pirated copy, i went on steam, bought the game, played it for weeks non-stop until i finished it, now, my current binge is RimWorld, i love that game and i had bought not long ago all the content DLCs, and i wanted to test them while progressing through the game that's what i'm doing now

I've been playing games since I was a little kid. A moment comes when gaming is not that fun anymore, that's when you need to take a break. I spent like 2 months or more without playing anything, and when I came back, I had SO MUCH FUN playing Halo: Reach. And then I went to play other games and, oh my god, I'm ashamed of how many hours in a row I played. Gaming, as any other hobbies, can become boring. Some people make playing videogames their entire personality, that's when depression kicks in.
