Dragonball and Dragonball Z are a poor man's Kill la Kill. I don't give a ****, come at me bro.

 

Stop the blasphemy. Dragonball is for true men with high testosterone.

Over the past couple years my interest in video games has waned. I didn't think much of it at the time since I would go through periods when I just wasn't in the mood to play or had other things I was more interested in doing. But lately I've been finding that I'm not wanting to pick them up and play at all. When I try, I often play for maybe a half hour tops before getting distracted and turning them off. I've found that I'm no longer able to engage or immerse myself in games like I used to. I've tried different genres and games that I wouldn't normally play or haven't played for a while. Nothing seems to work.

 

What makes this kinda difficult for me is the fact that gaming has been a part of my life since childhood. It's hard to just let it go and move on, even though I feel that's the right thing for me to do. It's like my brain is actively pushing video games away without my consent. I still love the creative nature of games, but I just can't bring myself to play them anymore. If there is a silver lining here, I would say that it's that I was able to play and complete some really great games and have some truly great experiences and also meet some really great people.

 

Anyway, I just thought I would share this with you all. I look forward to the feedback.

 

I go through this constantly.  It started a few years ago when games became watered down and try to hold your hand through everything.  Being treated like I'm an idiot is not "fun" to me.  Video gaming is just that.....video gaming.  If people want stories and games that play themselves for them...they have those.  They're called "movies" they come out with many every year.  I still play older games that are great, but as far as newer games there is just nothing there anymore.

 

DAI marked the official last time I ever pre order a game.  I will buy games AFTER i hear they are complete and weren't released broken.  As far as Bioware goes....as someone who loved MP and the many persistant and game breaking problems with DAI's MP I will buy all future Bioware games (including ME) out of the bargain bin.  Hopefully by then the game will actually be complete and fixed.  The same way I do with Bethesda games.

 

I think we all need breaks, but if you still want to game I find that going back to older games when gaming was...."gaming"  gives me enjoyment if you feel like trying that.

Try drugs

Edit: also, reading that last post you might want to try Pillars of Eternity.

On drugs, of course.

I love video games to much for that to ever happen, you should try something telltale has made if you haven't already.

Personally I think Telltale might be part of the problem.

Just because this movie is awesome. And I don't really mind getting banned this weekend.

I don't know. Telltale games are the cinematic evolution of point-and-click adventure games.


On paper, I feel like they are the very embodiment of what's wrong with gaming. But in execution, they tell great stories and they make great games. No Telltale game would work well as a movie or TV show. But they work excellently as video game experiences.

[Rawgrim]

The Telltale games aren't even games anymore, really. Season 2 of the walking dead, and GoT season 1 is just an interactive movie, really. Inventory is gone. Puzzles are almost non excistant. Season 1 of TWD was an adventure game in the classic sense. Inventory, puzzles. You could even get stuck in it.

 

I really like TWD and GoT, though. I look forward to every new episode. But they don't feel like adventure games anymore, that's for sure.

[Draining Dragon]

Am I the only one here who doesn't get the point of this thread?

I mean, why bother officially quitting video games? Why not just play when you feel like it, and don't play when you don't feel like it?

I agree with that. I'd really like for them to up the difficulty level on the puzzles again. There is plenty of time for players to figure out a hard puzzle between episodes, with them coming at 2-4 month intervals. And with the Internet these days, a quick Google search can assist any players who are having a difficult time.


Maybe creating hard puzzles takes more time than they believe it is worth, when they would rather be focused on the story/branching narrative aspects of their content. Although the choice and consequence aspect to their games is a clever illusion at best. Nothing amounts to much over the course of episodes or installments, despite the FEELING that they are.

And maybe the feeling is the most important part, not the reality...don't mind me, I'm just rambling.

Many years ago I used to get hooked on new games and could play older ones for hours still. Now not so much, few games hook me and those that do no longer get me playing for so many hours although any game by From Software is an exception here, Bloodborne kept me hooked for the first two weeks (hence why I disappeared from here for weeks) and the only game that did that prior was Dark Souls 2. I can still play any From Software game for hours on end because they are so engrossing.

 

Other games just feel depthless but perhaps that's the fault of many games not being innovative and depthful enough anymore rather than mine.

 

Still I don't think I'll loose interest in gaming. I just have other concerns and hobbies now to keep me busy along with gaming.

If you don't like it, don't read it, and don't waste time and energy on posting about it.

I still love the creative nature of games, but I just can't bring myself to play them anymore.

Unless you ever wanted to try designing games instead or the like, it's a big world with plenty O' Hobbies. The option to go back's always there anyways. I've had times where I'd been seriously burnt out on video games - 5,000 pages of Dark Fantasy Lit helped alleviate that for a while.

Good luck.

Well his posts are more important than others........
