Here we go again. 

I love video games. I always have. I love how you can interact with interesting characters that aren't real. The storylines I get to follow in linear RPG's or adventure games. The gigantic and expansive worlds to explore in open world RPG's. The friends and fast paced action I have with online shooters (also the trash talk). The grinding and life-like experience I have with playing my favorite sports games such as the myPlayer in the Nba2k series. 

I love talking about video games with my friends.  Nothing is better than being excited for something and sharing that excitement along with your closest friends in anticipation for release. Waiting for the latest reviews from my favorite sites and then seeing if it obtained a good metacritic score. I love coming to Vgchartz and seeing the current buzz that everybody is talking about. 

But for some reason; every few years or so... My interest for playing them completely fades. Not sure why. It just does. 

The last time this happened to me was in mid 2012. I had finished putting 200+ (that's a lot for me with 1 game) hours in Skyrim. After that I remember it being very difficult finding any game, let alone an RPG, that could suck me back in. It got better for a while when I picked up my Ps4 in 2014. Obviously the excitement of a new console is always enjoyable. But the time has come and gone it seems like. 

This time is different. I feel like I'll never have that same pure joy I had when I was younger. I'm not old currently by any means (22) but with a career military job consuming a lot of time (Air Traffic Control), going civilian to the FAA in a few years, my growing interest in weightlifting and fitness... It's very hard to find time to play any of the games coming out let alone completing them. 

Not to mention my sex life lol. That always takes priority. 

But I digress. It's disappointing. I think I have officially moved on. I no longer have interest in coming to video gaming sites. Seeing the latest news. Counting down on reviews. *Sigh*

Play Nintendo.

It's your life man. Life often kicks in and the things you used to love and have time for, often begin to fade. It's your choice to keep up with gaming or leave it alone. As a Sony/Nintendo fan whenever I feel like leaving games alone, I often play some of Nintendo's IP and those usually remind me why I still play games today.

I lol'd really hard at this picture.

@OP - Just give it a while, however long that while may be. Leave VGChartz and stop playing games until you feel like you can stomach gaming again.

I've been feeling really detached from gaming lately too, but then I realised the problem wasn't me or that I changed, it's the games that have been coming out that either look uninspired or simply uninteresting. I just finished playing through The Talos Principle recently and I was pretty much hooked to it, because it was different and most of all, fun. Also, nowadays most of the games I'm looking forward to playing are either indie titles or games from smaller companies.

But that's just me. As you said in the op, you're getting busier with life and all that, so in your case it's probably better to just leaving gaming for a while and come back fresh in the future.

Porn VR will cure that for you and no you shouldn't play any cra... subpar Nintendo produced games. Stay strong help is on the way

Your gaming life will improve when your sex life produces children.
Then you get the joy of showing your kids all the games you used to love.
...and your sex life will not take that much time anymore.

Gaming is entertainment for the most part. You'll be fine even if you never are interested again. Though given time I'm sure you'll find something interesting. You did seem to have fun at the PlayStation experience last month.

...you should play Undertale. Sorry if you're tired of hearing about this game but it genuinely revitalized my interest in gaming in a way I hadn't felt since I was 4, I highly recomend you to check it out.

Also, I don't have a lot of time or dedication to play videogames either, I mean, I could do it in the short time-spans I have between classes and weekends, but forcing yourself to play something always sucks out a little enjoyment from it, so I let things flow naturally for the most part.
