I got bored of videogames

Oh My God. I never thought this was going to happen! This is a little of a shock to me since I spend 1300$ on a gaming pc last year, but oh well pc has hundreds of more things to do. The thing is that every game looks boring and the same crap, and after 1 hour or less, I get bored. The thing is that sometimes I feel a lot like gaming, but somehow my games dont satisfy me (and I have great titles like mass effect, half-life, team fortress, grand theft auto, world of warcraft) So is this a sign for me to look for a new hobby?

Just take a rest and keep an eye on good games.

There has been a lot of crap lately so that might be the problem, just play what you like and wait for good titles, and if you don't feel like playing just leave the pc alone for a while. Sooner or later you will find yourself gaming again.

Protip: Buy some good rated indie games, maybe they don't look like crysis but might be funner.

Blog it or go to OT, this doesn't really belong here. Don't know what else to say... Good luck finding something you like? I guess?

Video games are games that you like to play, if you're playing games you don't like playing then of course you wouldn't like video games anymore :P All i'm sayin is look for games that you're really into, it does seem like you need a new refresher, have an eye out for all the previews on gamespot, you might like something, who knows

You really just need to find friends to play with. Just yesterday I played about an hour of the Witcher, got to Vizima (I know, not very far) looked at the quests that I should be doing, then I suddenly didn't want to play anymore. It just felt like work to me, so I shut it off and did something else.

But if a friend wants to play something over Skype, I'll jump to it right away.

You can stop playing video games for awhile. My 360 broke in October, and I was getting pretty bored also. The reason I played was because I got Halo Reach. I still don't have a 360 but whenver I play it at a friends house, I want to keep playing. So leave video games alone for awhileor don'tplay as much. Then when you do play, they seem really fun.

Yes if you really have gotton bored of Videogames it is time to quit. You are officially finished.

Well people go through phases. Maybe you just need a break from them and then your love for video games will come back to you and you will be playing in no time.

Get portal 2, all I have to say on the subject.

Play some older games that you really enjoyed in the past, or try out a genre you don't normally play.

Yep, time for a new hobby. If you get a strong urge to game, then maybe try expanding into a different genre.

I would suggest trying some other genres you didn't play much. If that doesn't work, then yeah, just try finding a new hobby I guess. Maybe later after a good break you may enjoy video games again, but maybe not. Just do what you enjoy doing.

I fell sorry for you, I really do.

Take a break.

Me? I haven't touched a game (crysis 2) since the month leading to the finals. I mean I had a short break after the midterms. But, I had to put gaming aside to concentrate on the finals. Now, I'm back to gaming. Maybe now I can finish Crysis 2.

Just bought "The Orange Box"... played TF2 for like 30min
... played Portal for 1 hour
... played Half-Life for 30min

It is official, I just can't stand playing a game for too much

it happens, just gotta figure out what else there is to do in life

same thing happened to me a few months ago, luckily sschool kept me busy until i was drawn back in (by dragon age 2)

People keep on whinening at me for playing old games. Well, now you know WHY I play the old goodies. They don´t get me bored. To be totaly honest on this topic. There are very few new titles out there that don´t bore me to hell...

I look at it this way: I can either play a game in the evening or watch some crap on TV. Games would have to get ten times worse than they are before they would even be in the same ballpark as television.

Have you ever tried a DoTA type game? I get like that too sometimes, but playing league of legends usually sets me straight haha. A lot of my friends play it with me, so its social nature and the fact that it's based on ~45 minute sessions keeps things fresh and interesting for me.

So. Many. Shooters. Try a genre you don't normally play.

I go through the samething every once in a while. Just back off games for a bit and start doing some other hobbies.
