I trust no one, not even myself.

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?

Sounds like you need to get into JRPGs that last at least 80 hours.

I quit gaming for 8 years (from year 2000 to 2008).
Since then I got me a Wii (2008), a PS3 (2009), a gaming PC (2010) and I was actually thinking in getting me a 3DS this year.
Truth to be told, I don't have enough time to play half the games I would want to and getting new platforms doesn't seem to be helping me.
Coming back to games after so many years was great, a really exciting rediscovery. Quitting for a couple of years might be a good strategy to get the magic back one day but I think it is only possible when you are very busy with other things in your life. If not, playing only local multiplayer might be a great idea.
At the moment, instead of buying a 3DS, I'm considering buying a beautiful Nikon D7000 to persue another of my hobbies: photography. The only problem is the money it costs!!

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Sounds like you need a break. Games are for entertainment/recreation purposes only and if you don't feel like playing anything then you shouldn't. It would just make things worse and probably make you hate gaming.

It may sound silly but I'd also suggest putting away your collection. Otherwise it'll just sit there staring at you as a giant TODO list.

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's on XBL???!??!

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
