Becoming less interested in gaming as time goes on?

[Adaman]

Sometime in the last few years, I've lost almost all urge to play new games, and I'm not sure why really, but it's been going on for a long time. For example, I was a huge Metal Gear Solid fan, had all the MGS games (at the time), got an MGS poster on my wall, got the art book, and zippo lighter. There was a lot of hype for MGS3, and oddly I wasn't excited about it at all. It was released on my birthday, so I asked for it. I got it, but ended up returning it to EB for the $55 instead. I don't know why, just wasn't in the mood to play it. Now it's over 2 years later and I still haven't played it or thought about it much.

That's just an example, but I've become uninterested in many other games that would have really caught my interest in the past. Even games that I have been interested in I keep putting off. Like, "Eh...I don't feel like getting into a new game, maybe down the road". I have a lot of games available for me to play on different systems, I just don't have any urge to play most of them. I still love video games though, and have many old classic favorites like most here probably do. I still play video games every day, but nothing new, unless I'm playing it with someone else. I guess I don't mind playing new games if other people are involved, but single player stuff like RPG/FPS games just aren't appealing anymore. I'm not saying there aren't any new/semi-new great games out there, because there are. Just that I feel like it would be more of a chore to play them for some reason, instead of enjoying them.

So, I've really lost a lot of interest in most gaming the past 3 or so years, and I don't know why. I probably just want to do something interesting with my life, I've spent way too much time playing video games. I've played a lot of great games in my life, and still play great games, but, I've wasted a lot of time playing dumb games just to kill time out of being bored. I don't know what I'm getting at or what my point is...but, care to comment? (boo... smilies from the mid 90s.)

And that's the end of my blog, err, post.
