Has anyone here was once a gamer that just couldnt shut up regarding new game releases, consoles, PC hardware? over the years with youtube streamers, i started just watching them play instead of playing it myself. Has anyone experience this transition? Also I start to lose interest in new games, "they are always different but still same", there arent just a lot of games that give me the WOW element.From Hardcore->casual->non gamer.

just stop playing games. do others things for a few weeks or maybe months than see how it goes.

You are not alone. Too tired to play games especially coming back from work. I got GG setup for PC + PS4. Both has dozens of games but lazy to play. Maybe we already entered to another stage of life, I mean we had grown up / getting older.

Same here.

Over the years, im reduced to a casual mobile gamer. Even on mobile, i rarely plays the game as hard as i used to be.

There are alot of reason in my case;
- same plot (nfs, csgo etc)
- internet always disconnected (online game)
- people who didnt understand that some game cannot be paused
- getting old
- harder to test new game (test 1st and then buy)

Yea.

Once a gamer, always a gamer.

stopped for about 5 months, time to time i still check on game related stuff. whenever i fire up a game, i close it within 15mins. in the past I would even skip classes to play some stupid game, now nothing seems to excite me.

Here are the few games that really got me into
Vindictus- used to play till 3-4am
The world ends with you
Persona 4- P5 was great but it feels like it is built on top of P4
the last of us- overrated, but i never felt as deep for a game before

gamers will always be gamer. i would wish to go back when i had infinite excitement over games

Once a gamer, but not too hardcore.

Despite I got a very high spec PC, only got 2 up-to-date games were install, but also only play at weekend.
You can say real life as main factor.

Right now the new games doesn't feel like before.
Now I'm feeling like an old fag, I'm more enjoy old games.
Return myself as a part time otaku.

i know how it feels bro, reality and growing up sucks. i have a pretty decked out PC too, i always have a bad habit to custom the graphic settings before playing anything. Games now are over-hyped and recycled. Maybe we all are waiting some game to ignite the spirit back.

exactly what am i facing since 2 years ago. sold my gaming pc now use budgeted laptop. watching streaming almost everyday and for all new title release in market. u are not alone definitely.

in my heart i am still waiting for another WOW MMORPG experience but i think it will never come. LOL

All of us has outgrown gaming to a certain extent. It's completely normal. I was once known as the hardcore gamer among all my friends. It used to be something like a badge of honor, but now I get annoyed by the mention, because it sounds as if I only play games for a living.

I still like to follow gaming news and watching Youtube videos, but actually playing them feels like a chore now. Like all of you, I also used to be able to play games all day long and not feel bored. Now I feel it's a waste to spend long hours playing games when I have other things to do.

Occasionally a game does come along that I play obsessively. Currenty it's Cuphead. The game combines two of my passion: old timey cartoons and 90s era shooters. I've been coming back to that game quite often. After I finish it, who knows.

haha rite on sistah

It is because we have aged and we do have work commitment, hence the slowing down syndrome.

just need the popcorn and voila watch and enjoy the show

Yeah I rather watch Twitch streamer instead of playing it myself.
When I get the urge to play from watching streamer having fun with the game, I play for 10min and already close the game.

haha as da saying goes "got time no $$$ then got $$$ no time"

Yup. Masa budak we had a lot of free time with no money. Now I have lots more money than I used to, but no time to play. FML

Ya pretty much, and sometimes i would even stop watching half way. Many new games now are so repetitive, story or gameplay for both just feels like a grind. the recent one for example, Shadow of war. take fort, take fort, betray, kill, recruit, take fort. yea yea i know the rivalry thing, orcs are fun and they have unique personality. But hey the whole game is about taking fort, or put it more simple, killing orcs. The story circles around some stupid rings. it gives me the feeling , if you took 1 fort you have alredy played the whole game, continuing is just a repetition.

u just havent found the right game..then again games these days arent as good as they used to be. Full of bullshit marketing and microtransaction, also grinding is wat the new gen love. I've resorted to competitive games, faster and keeps the brains alive. classic games like sc2 are still games which are top of my list to gid gud at.
