I can't enjoy video games as i use to?? :(?

I've asked similar question before but this time I'm more clear. Ever since I got into writing and game design/development i can't seem to enjoy video games as i use to/ It's like I'll find myself over analyzing everything of a game and thinking that I wish i could make something like that and it generally ruins the feel of the game for me. Like just a two weeks ago I was all normal, I could play video games and then all of sudden this happens. I wish to still enjoy video games as i use to but i don't know how.
Has this ever happened to any of you? like maybe you get into writing and now you can't get the same feeling from books you read anymore or anything of the sort or like it's happening to me with VG. I know a lot won't take me seriously but it's very saddening, sure i have a life and friends but still I miss being able to just sit down and enjoy a video game as I just to...I don't know maybe I just see such an interesting plot in a video game(or games) and I think i just won't be able to be as great when I make video games or stories, and instead of enjoying the amazing plots I get all down with this thoughts...
Any advice? thanks for your time

I know that feel.
But the best way to combat it is instead of seeing these great stories as giants that you could never possibly rival, try to see it as a learning experience.
Learn the stories and get lost in them first then analyze w/o putting your current work into it, and say "That game was great" and use that game and others as textbooks or sources to pull from when you are creating that blockbuster hit.

Long story short: Use the games as learning tools, not as comparisons to your work.
