How to Enjoy Games Again 

Great video man. Really real and sensible. I really think the best advice which I use all the time is taking a break. I think what most people feel is a burnout in games hence why they say it’s not fun anymore. Much Love man loved the video.

😀❤

yo bro thanks for the vid! i recently picked up mw2 again after being burnt out from it. I set a goal. Get gold on ever base gun. So far it's going great. I love the challenge. Today I got gold on the ARs. So thanks for the ideas!

As a recently-former college student (I got my associates at least!), that's the right choice! Good luck as well!

im here rn hahahhaa

I'm the exact same, whenever I dont have time my brain is like "yep, I really wanna play some games right now"

I made a spreadsheet of what to play and that helped out a lot for me

My brother you may have Inattentive ADHD

that's because you don't get much dopamine from your work

I feel the exact same way it could be my ADHD tho

Vwey few epic games now and playing all these broken incomplete games made my mind sick of trying more broken or woke trash.

So true man when I was young I had no responsibility so funniest thing I did.But know I have no desire play video games off rather upgrade in real life .

This slapped my cheeks real hard just before last xmass.

Games are just a catch-all for , TV, movies. music, and books.

Video games are trash nowadays. Look at the strategy big gaming firms are using. Re skin everything, change story lines, same maps. It’s boring. Then when a game comes out it’s full of bugs, and problems they make you download patches for the next year. Video games have died imo.

u so lucky to watch em with friends also do u watch tv shows series anime and stuff

@@wodkdnwiwondsn I have watched almost the entirety of a few TV shows and anime with someone. I definitely recommend, even if you have seen the shows before.

Thats the problem bro maybe you have a tip for me. for an excample im playing Starfield right now but i cant enjoyed i need to watch youtube videos or listen to something because i cant focus in the game. I was so hyped to Starfield because i love sc fi and bethasda games but i cant enjoy it without watching videos :( you know i dont get the feeling to fall in the game

@@DerZenji gotta reset your dopamine. Take a couple weeks off from gaming and social media like youtube.

Agree, that button in the middle of the controller almost killed gaming, trying to play Dark Souls and clicking RU-vid every time your frustrated. It's hard for games to hold your attention.

Yes @@PalaceMidasMusic

That's why I smoke weed...

I had the same problem although Im still like in high school. I started to pirate games(ik its bad but I'm kinda broke and my parents buy me games like once a year) once I got a PC and I first I was very happy but I soon realized I would play for a bit and then burn out because I knew I could do something else. Like playing pokemon now feels terrible but as a kid I was spend hours and even restart it. Its that feeling scarcity that makes you appreciate games even more now than you do.

I agree when you finally got that game you’ve been wanting so long you play it to death. Now that I’m older it’s hard to even finish a game. Sometimes it just feels like a choir to play one. Now that I don’t have as much time to play since I’m usually working or recovering from work. Just a happier time playing games when we were younger less stress and less stuff to deal with just got to sit back and play some games with your friends after school with no worries.

It's the same as with streaming and food delivery services, too many choices lol. I end up spending more time choosing something instead of actually playing/watching/eating it lmao

@Trent Mortensen we also just had more time and energy back then lol

Literally what I'm going through right now. Just got the Steam Deck a few weeks ago to get through my backlog but what ended up happening was I bought more games thanks to the Winter Sale and now I'm not sure if I'll ever finish any of them.

Same here. I managed to find a factor that was draining my whole life energy and motivation and it was social media. Since last week i was suggested to log out to try and i realized that as there were moments where the game was loading i looked into social media and I ended up having the game as background and being instead immersed into reels and tiktoks. You dont realize it at first but you can find yourself entering social posting feeds (specially the ones with short videos that come after swiping to another endlessly) and being there for hours. These last couple of days I have been focusing on some new life goals i am working towards and the time i find to play now feels a lot more gratifying. Now I am plainly taking the best out of my leisure time and productivity.

@@friendlyneighbourhood7367 i definitely had the same problem but didn't realize it till I read this most of my free time even if it's just for a couple minutes at work is being taken up by reels and tik toks. Might be time to get rid of social media for a while and do some inner reflection and focus on my life and family rather than somebody else's thanks for that spicy take gave me the push I needed stay classy brother

@@michael_scot I needed that push too don't worry. Happy I could help someone out :). You'll realize your hobbies will be more enjoyable now

Me too man growing up sucks

me too!! I've been playing so many games lately even if I didn't felt like it at first just to realise that hey I still very much enjoy playing

How long did it take you to get that spark back?

As a 20 year old myself, I'm currently in that same boat your past self was in. To me, video-games aren't fun anymore and I don't enjoy them as much as I did when I was a teenager. I have over 70+ games in my steam library and I just can't bring myself to play any of them anymore due to depression. Watching this video and reading your comment has prompted me to respond and I rarely comment on youtube. I have several questions for you, how did you get out of your slump? What motivates you to play video-games now? and finally, what advice would you give a youngin like myself to better my overall motivation for games or life in general? I know this might seem like a lot coming from a random stranger so you don't have to answer these questions lol. I'm just glad to see from this video and other commenters that I'm not the only one struggling to reignite my passion for the thing I used to love immensely.

@@vincentmejia2897 I wanna say about 3 to 4 years..? The first 2 years was basically no video games whatsoever. Then I slowly started incorporating them in my life once I took care of the important things that needed my full attention.

@@Mio-mt7sp I was extremely unhappy where I was in life. I used video games as an escape to avoid the enormous pile of mistakes I made in my life. Up until it was so bad I couldn’t even enjoy the one thing that brought me happiness. It wasn’t easy getting out of the slump. First I started by constantly working out & eating healthier. Which in result landed me into the health & fitness community which also helped my mental health which ALSO resulted in saving my relationship lol. Being so insecure had my relationship hanging by a thread. I had no education, I felt like the dumbest human being on earth for failing high school. So I spent about a year reintroducing myself to all your basic high school subjects. I got my GED. I’d be lying if I said it was easy. I failed a few times but finally did it. I was working at this depressing warehouse job that payed well. So I worked a ton of overtime to get a ring to propose to my gf. She dealt with a lot of my bs over the years & wanted to make it up to her. The day I proposed I told her I was enlisting to the military to use all the benefits to start a life with her. She said yes & we got married at a court house. (We’re doing the wedding later down the line). Cut to a year later, I’m currently in the military. The benefits are fantastic. It’s hard as hell here but I have my life planned out & couldn’t be happier. Every night, me & my wife play Monster Hunter online when I’m far from home. When I am home we play Borderlands or I watch her beat a random game on weekends. And vice versa. I wanna say the whole process took about 4 years. But I honestly couldn’t be happier. I’m actually enjoying video games more than ever. So basically. Try & figure out what you’re missing in your life. Video games will always be there waiting for you. Give it all you got. Focus on building a happy life or relationship. Don’t be scared to fail (you will). Once you find out & fix what you’re really missing in life, video games will just be an addition to your happiness. Sorry for the essay, but I truly hope this helps in any way.

@@PotatoesFromSaturn I just wanna say thank you for sharing your story. I'm not sure why , if it's the way you worded it or just hearing it in this context but I think it really helped me understand a few things. I guess my situation is just all too relatable to ignore yours. I'll try my best and hope I can get that happiness back in my life so I can enjoy the things I love, but even if I don't, thank you

Thank you!! :)

True

Yep

@@stupidcat9591 kitty

Fr by the video itself i thought he had like a million subs

Legend, thanks

Game variety has been the biggest factor as I've gotten older. Increasing the scope of the type of games that I play has kept gaming enjoyable for me. My go to games right now are cities skylines, trackmania, total war atilla, kenshi, and halo. All are different genres, and very different from one another I'll plan to play 2 each week. One of saturday, the other on sunday. And they all can take a while per playthrough. Each playthrough of a total war game can be 10-20 hours, kenshi is way longer than that (can be a few hundred hours), and skylines can vary from a few hour's, to a few hundred. Whilst halo and trackmania are continuous, as you play with and against others Next year, I'll swap out all but trackmania and halo (although I may also swap them out for maybe an mmo, and a different fps) Also, I'll completely sub in games to play with friends if we're free and can organise. If not, I have halo and trackmania for that and specific people I know who I only play said games with

Thx

Thx bro

or just quit games , as we age we see that its a waste of money and time , i regret paying for skins or stuff.

That would be an interesting idea to explore. I think it’s entirely dependent on the person tho. Also. hey bestieee

@@danitaku

Arg arg arg screw social commitment I’m a deadbeat

1.) Clear your schedule and relax 2.) Pull out your old console and games 3.) Take a trip down memory lane and tap into that carefree mindset 4.) Realize you've been playing a childhood game for 8 hours and you should probably go to sleep 5.) Repeat with new games

I've been doing the same bro and is actually fucking relaxing. Just gotta smoke rq first and then turn the lights off and immerse yourself in the game. I'm playing RD2 btw.

don't smoke, you will live less @@sebas41201

@@sebas41201 its fun for the first few months but if you do it everyday it gets less and less enjoyable until you can't even enjoy a game sober happened to me just had to take a good break and went back to normal though

Try this with Stardew valley

I literally just learned this with Starfield. I saw way too many videos telling me where and how to get X thing, or where and how to find Y secret, which of course I had to have. Next thing you know I'm level 5, jumped around half the star systems, and have full legendary everything without starting the story. I literally had to restart because it felt so wrong. If I played Skyrim that way I would have hated it too. You gotta just experience it yourself

Same here. This vid is just a masterpiece, glad to see that RU-vid finally recommended me something useful.

same

If you're 18 you shouldn't be playing video games.... You should be out there experiencing life, don't waste the best years of your life as a teenager stuck inside playing video games, it's a sad and pathetic existence.... Go back to gaming in your 30s or 40s when you have already experienced most of what life has to offer.... Don't waste your teenage years playing video games like a loser.

@@ThatTempesTGuy npc ahh comment

@@ThatTempesTGuy I mean to a certain extent but not completely, games sometimes is fine

im 15 with like no stress but my games haven’t felt fun since like i was 12

That was a great comment. You didnt need to end it with lol lol

@@benrace_ It could be that maybe you're really not enjoying games anymore, or it could be that you just don't like the games you've been playing and if you tried some other ones from a different genre it could bring just as much or even more enjoyment than you used to have. One of the best things to experience as a gamer imo is trying out a new genre and realizing there's a ton of things you like about it, and now there's a whole new world of games out there for you to try since now you know you'll love them.

That's so true and I feel nowadays all games are too much of a commitment and end up stressing me out more than being fun or relaxing.

@@postproductions dam lol I'll edit it

I get that, but it's good to remember the fun times you *do* get. I know it's fucking cliche, but with matters such as friend groups you should try avoiding feeling sad because it's over, but rather be happy because it was a thing in the first place. Just remember that you can always find a new group if this one drifts apart too. I know it seems dismissive, but moping around really isn't a fun way to spend your time.

@@omppusolttu5799 Yeah, I understand what you're trying to say. Maybe I'll get some energy to do that in the future.

What type of games do you play?

If u on PS me n my friends yould adopt u XD

@@isaacbuiltdifferentRL A lot actually, cuz I just play most games I find interesting. I'm just a bit bad with fps and horror games, others are ok. I'm very casual.

Yeah all my friends stopped playing so did I

Same my man…. Same

i wish i had atleast 1 friend ,i never had 1 single friend..

Yeah.. I know that now.. games are super boring now that my friends moved on without saying anything. So I've been on my own since the start of covid.. and one of them said I was his bf and that I listen well... So much for that I guess. Seems I was that friend you create a new group and ignore....

honestly you can be playing the boringest game out there but if you're playing it with friends the game just becomes 10x funnier

Thank you so much! ;-; that means so much to me to hear, I'm glad you liked the video!

@@Erbble well done

@SVPlays well yeah, of course! people get big for a reason though c;

I just noticed the subscriber count after reading this comment, man I think it's this guys second channel or something no way this high quality , super bro support from India

@@NeonSkull0 "gets you verified" Do people care about this?

I always find myself coming back to fighting games, to practise that one combo I simply couldn't do before

@@sapphiredagon fighting games are fun and exciting but sometimes you sit down and watch your favorite character fight on RU-vid

I've been playing dishonored 1 and 2 recently, it's fun in general, but it's even more fun when I set a challenge for myself that I'm not going to be detected and I'm not going to kill anyone, the game become much more fun that way lol

I do this with plenty of games. Like i just bought Elden Ring and something i did to make combat harder for myself in DS 2 was to use only caestus, so im doing the same thing in ER. Its a blast and a pain but it makes things interesting.

@@Chad-bc9vi I am doing similar with Watch Dogs 2. I played the game the first time and just bought guns and slaughtered any enemies I came across. That was when it came out, I had a desire to play it again so I started a new game, and am forcing myself to use only the stun gun with slow ass reloads and limited range, and melee attacks as well as trying to stealth the mission as much as possible, sort of forced by the fact that I don't have deadly force

6. Play Factorio

7. ignore the guy above

8. Read 7.

9. Read 8

10. Read 9.

Yeah I had the exact same experience playing Stardew. I mean I loved playing it, but it would definitely be more fun to explore and find out things on my own rather than googling how to be efficient at every fucking thing even stuff like egg hunting.

That's a very good tip. I have an addiction on focusing way too much on secondary missions and collectibles, so your tip will come in handy.

This is true. I spent too much time doing things I didn't enjoy. Some times when my friends watch me play they think I'm psychotic for walking past drops or not being optimal with builds, but learning to let go of those obsessive thoughts and just enjoy the game has helped immensely.

@@kryptikk5695 same, this is why I would get so bogged down in modern Assassin's Creed games is there's sooooo many collectibles I get overwhelmed and end up finishing that session and never booting it up again because it feels like almost a chore, and definitely a commitment

i felt the same and found installing the time speed mod and just slowing the days down but a bit really helped me relax while playing but without taking away the slight challenge of getting things done in time, but you can go as far as pausing time with it so you can find whatever works for you

Thanks for sharing! I can 100% relate

Same bro I’m in high school and can also 100% relate

Mid 20s here kind of going through the same thing. Have a career starting up, making decent money, go to the gym 4+ times a week for over an hour, literally picked up litter for a couple of hours today just to do something nice, and yet even after all that I come home, play the games that USE to bring me fulfillment, but now they don't, and it seems like no games do, but yet...There's just nothing to do. Don't know what to do.

I feel you brother

BS. i have had video games for 26 years almost 27 and your saying stop and find something else? whether you mean stop entirely or just find other games....like i said in my message up top....there are no other games that are even decent anymore its about online games and how much bullshit can i take before going off on someone thats what games are these days...and if you do mean stopping entirely.....then you dont know what video games truly mean to someone after 27 years of playing

😁

Thanks this has made me feel better about not having fun anymore playing games coz I don't really have many friends so I don't really play online much and when I do I get upset when I play on games like minecraft coz people I see on some servers are just not nice

For me the trick was to change the genre every so often kept thing fresh for me I play singleplayer games only if that means anything

@@anaveragegamer359 thanks for the advice

@@maikeru_uzmaki7125 was it good advice

For sure. I was playing console Deep Rock Galactic for a long time but after the performance issues, my interest in modding my games to absolute hell, and the fact that I was missing out on the games biggest upside; the community I decided to make the switch and haven't regretted it since. I've made great friends, great times and strive to spread the same positivity that my peers had. Makes me happy every time that I hop on that I won't be ridiculed for how I play as long as I contribute what my team needs, and a few drinks at the bar. Rock and stone ⛏

I often played games for my friends, I knew the time when everyone started playing, and I eagerly waited for each game.

True, I noticed the people who claim games aren’t fun anymore are the same people who either constantly play the same games (or genre of games) over and over again, or all they do is play games, not realising there’s more to life than gaming

Well I started going to the gym and I’d rather go to the gym than play video games in my free time.

@@justinthematrixI’m pretty much the same as you I think. I stopped enjoying games, however I always had hobbies like sports to watch and play, but I started gymming and now I hate gaming even more but I’ll still play just with my mates, mostly just for the social aspect really. I just don’t enjoy playing anything, there’s better things to do with my time now I’m grown up

This. I’m in high school marching band and because I’m away from home for an 3 hours a day it makes being able to hop and play that much more enjoyable.

@@ashhabimran239 Let me tell you something. I am or I was one of those people who only played games the whole life. Maybe you haven't considered that those people are just more happier in the virtual world than in real life because they are socialy awkward, feel to ashamed in public due to bodyshaming (I don't mean being fat but born with genetics that you can't easily change), introverted or many other countless reasons. Like I said I played games 24/7 my whole life which was the best time of my life and now I completely turned my life around. I study abroad in Japan, experience nice things in real life like climbing the highest mountain here, visiting all the beautiful places, the food, new culture and people and the list goes on but still sometimes I feel like Gaming would bring me the same enjoyment but more constantly.

I don't have friends that play competitively. They're all casual and I'm honestly tired of carrying in normal matches, let alone in ranked. This leads me to mostly playing solo and then getting bored after like, 2 matches.

If you were struggling to revitalize your passion for games as a Skyrim/Fallout player, the answer is simple friend. Mods. I've been away from Skyrim for a good few years. Coming back, I was stunned at how far the modding community has come. It was already massive before. Now it's legendary. MCO for combos, True directional movement with target lock on, dodging, parrying, the nemesis engine replacing the obsolete FNIS, DAR revolutionizing animations. And that's only the technical side. The armor mods, graphical overhauls, spell packs, weapon mods, animation packs etc. You can literally customize the combo animations for every weapon. Syn gaming has some very good videos that give a general review of them. I highly recommend you start off there. It's incredible. You can turn it into a souls like if you damn well please. And the fallout games have just as much. Have fun!

I played it a little back in the day, because of having a low spec PC that is as much as I got from it, I need to get back on it, thank you for your fine suggestion!

I returned to New Vegas and Fallout 3 and felt the same way. Also checking out all the new mods I've missed was crazy fun too.

I love open world games but there haven’t been many interesting ones lately. Because of this I always end up falling back into The Elder Scrolls games and Breath of the Wild

Finally, someone I can relate with. Skyrim and Fallout 4 brought back the spark of enjoying video games for me.

Same here, but also because of my terrible internet

Yes!! Zero Dawn is incredible, enjoy the journey!

This is a big one, so many people get burnout because they only play multiplayer games, competitive shooters and the like. It can be so refreshing to play single player games

Facts. I was a Call of Duty kid from 2008 till 2020. I played it daily for those 12 years. I've usually been buying the new ones but I don't playt them nearly as much cause I'd rather play different games, mainly singleplayer. I'm a much more chill gamer now. If I'm yelling, I'm laughing now. I used to be raging if I was yelling

Yea bro I’ve been real into the red dead’s and gtas cause I played online for them forever and never got to enjoy the story mode

99% of "gamers" have depression... Sitting inside all day just supports their depression if not directly causing it... It's a vicious cycle that goes around and around... Ever notice all your "gamer" friends and you have terrible sleep schedules? Best thing to do is find balance.... You shouldn't be playing video games for more than an hour or 2 a day, at the very most..... You need to find ither hobbies and things to do with your time that make you go outside and experience life.... Hiding away in your house trying to find happiness in a video game is NEVER going to happen....

@@ThatTempesTGuy well, I don’t play games for hours on end, I personally took his advice on more than just video games but I appreciate the input.

@@ThatTempesTGuy I am in a situation where I moved around a lot my whole life. Every time I made friends growing up it was time for me to move somewhere new. So during that time I turned to games, and I didn't really have a problem with that because I enjoyed them. But now that I'm older, I'm tired of video games because I've been playing them for so long and I can't really NOT play them at this point because I have no friends to do things with. If I was to do a hobby that involved me going outside I'd just be doing it alone anyways which would not be fun and also weird in most people's eyes.

You gave him a sub but I'm giving you a hug ❤. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Taking adhd meds helps me focus on games I’ve found

Exactly!

#1 all the way, get out and enjoy life. The brain needs real stimuli that games can only virtually tease. Come back to gaming with fresh new ideas mother nature throws your way and you will find fun in anything.

Best comment ever

I don't know about everyone else but when I was a kid I was outside a lot, in addition to all the time spent a school. Video game time was like a respite... perfect for when I used up my energy physically. Like with many things, both sides of that coin help you recharge and be ready for more of the other.

AKA being in nature is so miserable that it makes you feel better once you're not in it anymore

You underestimate how busy our lives are! There’s no time to do all that and still play games.

good for you. but just bc you stopped or took a much needed break doesnt mean others can

I took a few years off & I enjoy video games much more now. But I don’t play more than a couple hours & I do all my important tasks during the day & play video games as a sort of reward/ relaxation at the end of the day

​@@Insomnia-uu2zq if that's the case than its simply unhealthy

I'll give it a shot. Gaming is my last hobby. All my others are dead. I am very empty inside. it's hard to describe it

Im 23 and im going trough the same haha , I just wanna finish games and have the same feeling like watching a movie

32 here, i recently finished Doom 3. I remember how hyped I was Back in the days, but my PC was Just Not ready for it. I'm so Happy I finally finished it ^^ And Like the Video creator i have a huuuge list of unplayed games. Having a "finished" list in Steam is a great Idea, gonna do that aswell :)

I think having too many choices and trying to play too many games at once is contributing to the problem. I used to play only 1 or 2 games at a time, on a physical disc on xbox, when I was about to finish one, only then would I buy the next one. Games stopped being fun for me exactly after I built my first gaming PC and started accumulated tons of Steam games, which are accessible at any time, creating choice paralysis and fomo.

Exactly, I only install one game and take the time with it, I am 35 yo and sometimes it takes a month, sometimes 4 months (as it's the case with RDR2)..I have almost 400 games rated or reviewed on Gamespot site, it was very popular in the old days..

Same here. I'm 43 and I rediscovered gaming 2,5 years ago, when I bought my first console. I started going through a list of all the games that I always wanted to play and I'm having a blast. I also play one game at a time, until I complete it. I don't worry about a backlog, I don't chase new releases, I'm just enjoying myself.

@@notjulianwest Imagine being such a robotic sheep that you refer to things as "CoNtEnT".... What is there not to understand... Past 5-10 years people all a sudden started saying "ConTenT" when referring to videos and stuff.... Why do they say it? Simply because someone else said it, so they say it.... Thats a follower/herd mentality and is pathetic. I'll be back I'm going to go eat the content.... (of my steak)... See how weird that sounds

@@ThatTempesTGuy idk whats the problem about saying content

@@notjulianwest What's the problem with being a mindless follower who repeats the same catch phrases and words they hear? Oh nothing except the fall of society and the human race, noone thinks for themselves anymore they just follow.... Why do you think kids always talk about the "MeTa" in video games....? Because it's another way for them to not have to think and just mindlessly follow the masses.... Its terrible to say words like "CoNteNt" and spread the mindlessness.

I relate to this on a spiritual level. I wasn't allowed to play games when I was younger so I'd somehow sneak and find some time to play games. I cherised games a lot then. I always dreamed of being older just so that I could have the freedom to play games for as long as I want. Now I have so many games and I do bingeplay sometimes but it feels so empty. I genuinely feel like I'm forcing myself through it just because I used to love it once. It's all so weird. Perhaps, the rarity of having something is what makes it much more important.

I've recently been getting into Trackmania and it's super fun, racing games are definitely way more my type of game than I thought!

Wow such a nice experience, BTW what is your best racing game (1 Old gen and 1 New gen)

since most racing games have tuning and lots of cars, it's always a new experience

Great racing games are about the only games I still enjoy. Those and great platformers, which are almost non existant. Still love the Portal games too. Wish they make a third

Often that's a reason why I may choose to get a certain game for the Xbox rather than PC, even though the PC version may be better and I have a proper gaming PC that would make sure it is. Similar with Microsoft exclusives on PC like Forza Horizon, Halo and MSFS, which I'd purchase via Microsoft instead of Steam, so the achievements actually contribute to my Xbox gamerscore that I've already been building up the past decade.

Yes and no because now i go only for the plats and not for the game anymore feel even more depressed
