I'm in a sort of gamer crisis where I can't play anything for more than 10 minutes without getting bored or frustrated. I haven't used my consoles for more than a week now, and what little I have played over the last couple months has been really thinly spread out.
Is it permanent? Should I see a doctor? Maybe it's natural to stop caring about games. I'd rather watch movies, listen to music, read, etc. If this carries on, then I'm stuck with 5 consoles and a few hundred games. |

These days I sometimes have more of an interest in analyzing/critisizing games for future articles than actually playing them. I guess for me it's less that I'm sick of games and more that i'm depressed, but whatever. I have noticed straight to the point games I can easily pick up and play yet are still challenging right away that have little to no filler keep my attention a lot better though. For example, Furi became my favourite recent game and it is just bossfights. It's challenging, but not so difficult I give up. I'd love to get good at more complex straight to the point games like Bayonetta and DMC4 but I just lack the motivation/am too tired and playing casually isn't all that engaging. edit: Wait, to answer the thread question: The latest thing I played was parkour platformer cloudbuilt. Really good, but it really is a stage by stage game with no kind of pacing so it can be hard to keep my attention. It's the equivelent of having an album with good individual songs but it just feels like a bunch of random collection of songs put in a random order. Luckily they are songs you want to play over and over to get to know them better though (and in this case master them) Last edited by Dylstew; 06-18-2017 at 06:40 AM. |

I have a hard time playing games for longer than 15 mins or so. That is why I have been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so much lately. I can just jump on and do a quick circuit then turn my switch off. Or do a few online races and jump out. I don't have the attention to stick with Zelda anymore. I usually do maybe one shrine then turn it off if that.

Narrative games never really held my attention and I'm burned out 100% on everything open-world and/or RPG related. The thought has crossed my mind. Maybe I'd like some relaxed indie titles? I'm not so sure... Quote:

Bro, your Steam backlog will start to look like your music backlog. Go PC.
