My issue is, I can't get into games that involve deep gameplay. For example, I bought Bleach: Blade of Fate some time ago, but after seeing all that intense gameplay from other people, I somewhat got bored and stopped playing it. I dunno, I guess I find it a waste of time to spend hours on a video game, when I should try other things, like sports or something constructive. Does anyone else feel this way?

Well I think I've spent around 500 hours playing the Final Fantasy games (still picking my way through XII, but school keeps me busy), and around 500 hours on the Elder Scrolls Games...Then maybe 1,500 hours on various sports games....

Totally not a waste of time :P

It's just intimidating to know that people can be so good at something so complex. It's overwhelming to think about all of the work, practice, and frustration that goes into becoming 1337.

1337ness can only be achieved by taking one step at a time...

yes, but if i went into basketball, not only might I find it fun, but it improves your physical health, hand and eye coordination, and possibly reflexes. 4 benefits in one.

It depends entirely on your own personal tastes. You might just prefer action games which dont require too much user-involvement. Try Ninja Gaiden or God of War or something like that. More basic fun than complicated game experience.

Oh and, avoid the crap out of mass effect. :P

Maybe you just are not any good at games? Play them on easy and then work yourself up from there.

try Final Fantasy I in the PS1 remake or the GBA remake or the PSP remake or a the NES (or an emulator of any of those consoles), its an RPG gut its very simple and extremly addictive (just dont play it on easy mode or it loses its fun, try to leave the options like the original NES game)

also you could try Guitar Hero or God of War, those games are what i play whenever im tired and i dont wanna think too much

You are either into it or you aren't...don't force yourself to like a game. just try something new to get you back into it or take a break.

From what I've seen, COD4 multiplayer is quite mindless.

Me neither. Ever since I saw the movie Tron I've been trying to get "into" games but I just can't find a way to copy myself onto DVD format. :(

I feel exactly the same as you. I mean I have Lair= sold ;never finished

Motorstorm= not even half way done; dont plan to play anymore

R&C Tools of Destruction= done but only main gameplay; not goin to get 100% done

Fifa 08 is the only game i play and i only play online

I feel that gaming is a waste of time. Because i can do homework and sports instead!

Problem is, I don't have a console, not even a ps2. I'm thinking about getting a ps3 once better games come out. I guess my problem is I only have a ds.

Emulators aren't illegal if you at some point owned the actual console in physical form.

Someone told me they're illegal, no matter what.

Just find something you think is fun. Try different things. You shouldn't have to force yourself to have fun with something.

Get a ps3, 360 is cool, but ps3 will be better in the long run.

Sometimes games cant be fun to some people, like God of war to me. I thought it was bland. I dont know, maybe you feel the laziness your not used to sitting in front of the tv. Under a recent survey, people who are physically active can play games longer, but choose not to due to lack of physical activity. Excluding wii sports/fit LOL.

While us gamers can do gameathons on the weekend, most of us feel like crap afterwards because 10 hours in a couch after 10 hours of sleep really slows your body down and you feel like the little things just hurt like hell. Pretty much all that. If you love games, the fitter you are, the better and longer you can play, but be warned, getting fit can be fun and stop gamers from being just that. SO be warned gamers who heed my advice!

Video games improve 3 out of 4 of those things.
