Has anyone else here felt or feel like they're just getting tired of games? I don't even give a shit about Mass Effect 3 right now, nor am I really as excited for this year's line-up as I would have been say 3 years ago.
It's basically what everyone here is saying. People get tired of them. For different reasons. Some people find games aren't developing, others just find better things to do.
As it is with any hobby, you do it out of interest or fun. When it's no longer interesting, there's no harm in stopping. I know in the heat of the moment, your hobby can seem like you'll love it forever, but forever is a long time...
I remember when a friend of mine more or less gave up video games, because 'they're all the same - there wasn't anything he hadn't played'. Now while I disagreed, he did have a point. For example, no matter what spin you add, or graphical mprovement, or story...an FPS remains an FPS. How different do they make them, really?
When you give up a hobby that takes so much time, and start looking at hobbies that actually make you grow as a person, it can be eye opening. Now, there,s nothing wrong with games. In fact, there's a huge benefit, I feel, in playing games. It's just that my days of playing games for 8 hour sessions until I finish them, only to anticipate the next is gone, at least for now.
