Bored playing video games?

Anyone here used to pay video games but now finds that they are not as much fun as they used to be? I remember being very excited any the ps3 and xbox 360 when I was in my early 20s but I am not very interested in the new machines. Anyone else in the same boat?

    Yeah. I go through stages where I won't play for months or years then I'll pick them back up. I, actually, play quite a bit now since television and Netflix bore me. When I come in from work, I'm too tired to go work out or hang out with people. Here in a year I bet I'll stop playing video games and start being more active. Nothing is wrong with video games. It is a great hobby to have, but I am starting to get bored with them again, as well. Time to start being more active! LOL.

    It's a common thing, after a while some people just grow out of hobbies either because they've simply grown bored of them or no longer feel attachment; it doesn't happen only to video games, but just about everything you can think of that can be considered a hobby

    If you still want to try to get back into video games, I suggest you look around for some interesting games and play them, and if that still doesn't get you back, then just move on with your life

    You're probably in the same ship as the great majority of sports gamblers up and down the nation who're losing far more than they actually win. You might have the casual gain that maintains you coming back for more, but the majority of the time your options lose. And that expenses you ever additional money!

    With Zcodes you are certain to get the machine recommendations so you may win the bets and more.

    Zcodes System also includes a very effective neighborhood that also weighs in and allows there two dollars about each game. Maybe there is a vital injury Zcodes doesn't know about. Number concerns, the forum people allow you to know before you set your expense down.

    I still play games but I hate the way so many are just rushed to churn out money, things added in DLC that should have been in the main game. I go through stages, especially sometimes when I play an MMO and am reminded of just how vile and toxic the gaming community as a whole can be.

    I rarely get excited as I used to, especially after the disgrace that was sacred 3, dungeon siege 3 and diablo 3. Triple a games especially are starting to feel like 'fixer uppers' at full price than they feel like full fleshed out games. I miss how gaming was and how the community used to be before swarms of annoying little kids and jock bro's with their parents credit cards seemed to take it over.

    Well I still enjoy video games, but I can't stand playing a campaign in a game for more than 20 minutes. I used to be able to sit hours on end playing a campaign, but now I just can't.

    yeah. I used to be video game crazy from a young age (5) and was obsessed with all types of video games for years and years of my life (around 16+ years of gaming).

    Now that i'm older (mid 20's) i just find myself unimpressed or bored by video games; they seem overly silly or childish a lot of the time. I guess its the realization that you are literally just sitting down testing a simulation program and doing repetitive things over and over again. It feels pointless and like a giant waste of time. Especially when you realize how much work and effort you put into playing other games for years before with no real life rewards.

    The PS3 is good enough; the PS4's screen resolution is the same (1080p) so while the graphics ARE better, when you play stuff moves so the quality increase isn't really that noticeable. And let's face it, SO many games really are 'more of the same' (especially game series), so .... well I can't be bothered to trade up.

    That's really the big thing; there's just not a single "MUST HAVE" game for the new systems.

    I will feel bored if I keep playing the same game. I got to buy another new game to avoid from having this feeling. Now I always play the different games so I don't feel bored.

    Yes!!! School does that to you. I used to be a hardcore gamer and Fridays were do not disturb but now, i get so bored just staring blankly at Steam, Origin, and Uplay, trying to find a game to hook me but it never works, frankly school has made me rather sleep than play video games kinda sad that everybody is too worried about their gpa's in my school, i go to the #1 school of the city and state and those kids are different. :( but I'm still a gamer for life, but at the same time, school is life. ball is life. family is life. Wondering why things never go right with my crush, is life.
