sounds to me you're developing more of a life. The same happens to me every September when I start school/6th form college/University, my interest in games sees a dramatic temporary fall. Maybe it's because I'm playing too much during the summer holidays, many it's because I'm occupied with other concerns, I'm not sure.

I feel this way to but I figured out what was wrong. The japanese presence on consoles have died down considerable to me. Im a huge JRPG fan and their existence on consoles has been really flat. FFXIII was a disappointment to me and now that my 60GB died I can't even enjoy going back to play some of my PS2 RPGs. The last game I invested hours into was inFamous 2. Im slowly playing BioShock 2 and while it's good I don't find myself investing hours into it. I think you just need something fresh. Today I picked up Enslaved and Im hoping it can tide me over until I can find a place that is selling Catherine.

But for me the lack of JRPGs are killing me.

If you have an XBOX 360 you should check out Tales of Vesperia, it's an excellent game, very unique.


I do...it's hard as fuck to track down.

It shouldn't be that hard to find, eBay is your friend for this one.

I bet you it's even harder in the UK, I paid £60 ($100) and that is considered a bargain.

But after the XBL Games on Demand release it has dropped in price.



It is normal at this time of the year, their are not that many 'great' games releasing, some people pick up a game they don't really want to have then ended up dissapointed with the game and feel they are tired of gaming;;..then the holidays come thet get a game they really wanted and ' WHAM' the magic is back :).

why don't you try another console? there are great games in the PC, Xbox 360 and ps3, Perhaps you could get your "magic" back.



I pretty much stopped playing games when my PS3 died,2 months ago.Since then,I couldn't be bothered buying/trying a new game.All I play now is Tekken 5 on my PS2 once in a while,but only because I'm such a martial arts fan,not a gaming fan.



I didn't play videogames very much (usually 5-6 hours a month) from the later PSX/N64 era all the way until about the release of the DS Lite and Wii. The only games I got very much into during that 5 or 6 year timeframe were Skies of Arcadia and Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I think what got me interested in gaming again was picking up Final Fantasy 8 and finding the game to be a LOT more enjoyable than I remembered it being (and I liked it before, it was my 3rd favourite FF, but has been my first favourite since that replay), then going onto Xenogears right after, and then discovering Phoenix Wright and Wii Sports.

 

I think a major thing about the Wii was the social aspect of the games, online games, while playing with hundreds of online players, just didn't feel very 'social' whereas passing a Wii remote around with Warioware or Wii Sports, and especially Just Dance games, have been very social experiences. At the time, being in my late teen years to my mid twenties, I was more interested in social things rather than gaming, and the Wii is the first (and still the only) console that really effectively mixes those two. The games like Just Dance, nowadays, take the social aspect of gaming SO much further than Street Fighter, Mario Kart, DDR, or Rockband ever did.... Most of those games were only played by gamers and people who didn't have anything better to do - but Wii games are played at actual cool parties; particularly Just Dance.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

perhaps its time to play with other consoles



it depedns on what goes on in your life

recently i started thinking alot about alot of things like:

1)where is my life headed as my friends started moving away for college and work?

2)read alot of history and came to a conclusion that all the video games did was create a fake fantasy

3)physics and science say that lifeis just an illusion,there is no reason to live
