Re: No longer interested in gaming

something i should have added:

it's still pretty hard for me to get excited about games. i'm basically just going through the motions right now. but they're somewhat enjoyable motions, as opposed to the mind-numbing crap-garbage motions that they'd felt like for the past half-year or so.

and i agree, the AAA titles are kinda meh 90% of the time. i mostly prefer indie stuff like antichamber.

My PS3 is basically a netflix machine now.

So if PS3 is for Netflix, then I guess Xbox is for porn.

Re: No longer interested in gaming

Yeah, my PS3 is also pretty much only used for Netflix and such.

Remember this shit? Seriously though, pretty sure you've stopped enjoying games for a long time cause every game is shit, heh.

Aaaghhh fuck that game. lmfao.

I kinda miss the Kong days, though. But I just couldn't keep up with badgehunting anymore when they kept pumping out those goddamned MMO badges. Everything else was a lot of fun, most of the time.

Re beat doom 2 on ultra violence man, that should satisfy you for a week or two. Especially if you save at the beginning of each level and aim to beat each level in a solid run as it was intended. After that, you're back where I'm at, starving for a game worth playing again. I'm basically waiting for kingdom hearts 3 lol.

I've re-whored all the old Id/Apogee games plenty of times over in the past on high difficulty. They're great for nostalgia, but they also make me sad. In the back of my mind, I'm always thinking, "I'm replaying something I beat when I was literally 6 years old. I seriously can't find something else to play?"

I even feel the same way when I re-play SNES/N64/PS games (Zelda, MMX, DKC, CT, SM/SMRPG, FF, etc).

Re: No longer interested in gaming

I feel you completely. The answer is pretty much no. I have found temporary solace in mini games like the impossible game or geometry wars 2. Other than that there's no remedy. The golden days of video games are over, and as nerdy as it may be, that's a huge part of my identity. You can call it my sort of mid life crisis where I'm trying to figure out how else to be satisfied with my time without turning to alcohol. It's a harsh lesson about growing up for me. Not that ill ever be "too mature" for video games, there's just a legitimate lacking in the fun innovative styles of games people you and I yearn for. Sucks majorly I know.

Re: No longer interested in gaming

I've been trying to beat all my time trial records for MKDS - don't know if that's your thing but it's kept me entertained.

Re: No longer interested in gaming

Heard of The Swapper?
Tried Touhou fan-based games?
How about old games that you simply haven't played at all?

I think what's sad is that growing up, games were such a big part of my identity too -- and I would always look forward to being autonomous so I could really dig in.

And now, I've done it -- I live on my own in my own apt, have a nice TV, a fast computer, access to all sorts of food, and I can get as many consoles/games as I want, etc. But now that I've gotten to that point, there's nothing I want to play anymore. Oyyy. XD

Re: No longer interested in gaming

The next stage in life for me is to be so financially free, that I am able to travel the world on a whim and visit anywhere, see what's out there, and understand what it that means for me and my reality. Life gets pretty deep at this point in life where the gradual process to achieve such financial freedom comes at the cost of your immediate happiness; a happiness that you were once able to satiate with the games you loved. I was fortunate enough to find momentary solace in anime after I thoroughly demolished every game I used to play right before the point of world class speed running, which in itself takes a certain person altogether to endure such monotony. I have pretty much watched every anime that caters to my specific and particular preferences and now sit at home all day bored out of my mind, fighting the urge to numb myself with alcohol while patiently and painfully working my way up to my financial goal.

Re: No longer interested in gaming

I think I will always set aside time for games...it's how I've always been even when I lived in my own apt. at school...we'll see what happens when I'm a little older tho lol

I agree with this man. Rift is both fun and relaxing, and there's enough variation in what you can do that it doesn't get monotonous.

Re: No longer interested in gaming

If Braid had a baby with Portal, it would be The Swapper. It's one of these "easy to learn hard to master games". I've been trying to find new games by finding let's play of anything that could potentially be worth a look on youtube.. not sure if there's a particular genre of game you're looking for or something specific within the innovative gameplay?
