Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why are games so boring now-a-days?

Okay, so, I have a lot of PS3 games....  I pick them up during flash sales, sales, whatever.  The only thing about it is that I keep going back to one of three games....  Marvel Vs. Capcom: Origins, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, or Tekken Tag Tournament 2.  My game collection consists of over 100+ games and I'm bored with all of them.  Even recent stuff I just bought.

I recently bought Megaman X4, Bully, Manhunt, and The Warriors this past Tuesday..  I haven't touched any of them except Manhunt (which I found boring) and Megaman X4.  Megaman X4 isn't boring at all, but it doesn't hold my attention....

Before that, I got Bioshock: Infinite...  I played through the game, it's holding my attention, which is a very good thing, considering I hate first person shooters.

Before that, I got BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma...  I played it for about 2 weeks, and haven't touched it since...

Then, I have games like LA Noire, and Dragon Age: Origins...  Both are installed on my hard drive, but I'm never in the mood to play them.  I bought those games months ago along with Red Dead Redemption and Soul Calibur V.

I hate Soul Calibur V.. I had no idea how bad of a game it was until I bought it.  And, that game, has gotten more playtime, than all the other games mentioned combined, except for the first 3, and bioshock, of course.

So, I decided to get Soul Calibur II: HD a couple of weeks after V disappointed me, since I knew SCII was a good game...  Even still..  I'm not playing that game either anymore.  I also picked up Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate..  It's so mash-friendly that I'm having trouble getting into it.  I don't play the game enough to know what I'm doing, so when I start winning without an idea of what I'm doing, it just gets disappointing.  Then, when I lose, I'm still bored, because I don't know what's going on.

I also got a buch of RPG games recently, from Legend of Dragoon and Wild Arms 2 (already had WA1) Disgea, Persona 3, and Ni No Kuni.  Each one of those games too... I'm not playing anymore, because I'm just not in the mood for any of them.

I'm sick of Marvel and Tekken being the only games I can enjoy, but everything else just doesn't hold my attention..  Am I just getting bored with games in general?  Should I just give up?

I almost want to ask for a recommendation, but somehow, I think I'd just get bored with any suggestions within the first couple of minutes.

Games are not boring nowadays, YOU are bored of recent games, which is an entirely different matter.



3DS, Wii, PSP, Vita, PS2, PS3, PS4 & Steam.

Give it a rest. Come back fresh.



go read a book.

Take a break from gaming. A few months should be good. Come back when a truly great game that you really want comes out, and you will appreciate gaming more.

try hopscotch, billiards, snooker, cribbage, and darts.



Might I suggest bungie jumping. Video games don't seem to be your thing. It has tons of adrenaline and will definitely hold your attention.

But if even that's too boring you can always just

oh I love gaming but I'm almost never in the mood to play something.

What helps me:

If you go through your collection, don't say "no" to the games you don't want to play. Just play them.
A couple of minutes in, you'll notice that you actually enjoy them.



This has a name, can't remember it though! It's a part of growing up as you don't like gaming as much as you did when you were younger. Take a break from it for a while and you'll start missing it again.



I kind of understand what you're going through, but it's a little different for me. There are plenty of games that I'm interested in playing, but everytime I start I can only make it about half an hour before I feel like stopping.
