Not really, though I don't understand how you could ever replay your games that much. I only replay my games rarely when I get a sort of tinkling in the back of my head saying "I need to play this game again!".

That's what first and foremost playing video games for stories does to you.

It might, if that's what I did. Can't say I do though, so yeah...

Well, this actually plays into my hands, because what does that say about the PlayStation library? So yeah...

It says that you can own a PS3 and play games with good gameplay, even if you're not into storytelling.

EDIT: Wait, actually the most correct answer would be that the PlayStation library can still be enjoyed by gamers who don't play games for the stories. ^_^

So, I've always been a gaming and a Nintendo fan at heart, I've played many of my games countless of times, getting every coin, cutting every piece of grass, opening every chest, clearing all of the screen before I could continue.

But not anymore.

I started to have this feeling as soon as I finished DKCR on my Wii, I finished it, and just didn't feel like ever playing it again. Same with Pikmin 2 I bought in the same time, and while playing through them I loved them.

Then the other day I got Ghost Trick for my DS, loved it, played it and left it there to die.

Then the other day I finally realized that I looked at my vast collection of games wondering what to replay. I couldn't stand any of my games more than 5 minutes before leving them to gather dust.

Then I noticed something worse, my so much played Wii wasn't played since early june, and I'm pretty sure my DS was in a similar state.

Afterwards I noticed all of the hype I had for 3DS after E3 was gone too, I might not be geting it at all at this rate.

It just that I jus don't feel like gaming or doing anything videogame related, my fantasy is gone, I hope in the future this madness is ended.

Does anyone feel the same? Magic for your games is gone? You don't wanna play more games?

I figured out your problem.

No offense intended, but I think this is a sign you've played video games too much...

Just take a break and you should get your "magic" back.


I completely disagree. I believe the opposite has occured to you. I realize you're a nintendo fan, but what hardcore titles are there for you that draw you back? Neither the DS or Wii are quite capable of delivering such a rich expierence that  a PC or modern console could ( in b4, a few examples.)

 

Why not switch genres, try something new?

I'm not sure playing more video games is the answer. Switching genres would only prolong the inevitable, being a feeling of dissatisfaction. If it was a matter of too much of the same or not enough "hardcore" games on the Wii then they would not have lost motivation to buy the 3DS.

That's because there's something wrong in your life. You lost your passion for gaming, because deep within you know that you need to do something more important than playing video games.

You know, actually, I feel you're right.

I'd rather be doing anything else, or I feel more comfortable being on Facebook on my smartphone than being alone playing a game for the 5th time.

You better not be serious...

Anyway, I can kind of see where you are coming from, I have lost all enthusiasm when it comes to gaming, it isn't fun anymore, it's just routine. I place the blame on trophies / achievements which are an incentive to play the game even if it isn't fun and the vast amounts of lackluster games this generation. As somebody else already said, I have lost all tolerance for bad or mediocre games.

Still, HD remakes still get me excited and there are quite a few gems still to come this generation, most of which come out at the end of this year or in 2012.

Don't worry about it bro, you just becoming a different type of a gamer. A gamer that doesn't play hes games 5 times over. As long as you play a game once and enjoyed the experience (if its a good game) then your okay.

I think maybe your priorities are changing. I stopped gaming for two years, i cant even remember why, and then started up again randomly haven't looked back since :)
