Did you ever just get tired of gaming?

Not for that long but I definitely get burnt out and take breaks from time to time.

I think the last game I played a lot was Left For Dead 2.

What a fun co-op game. Miss Valve making titles.

I think we all have times where gaming doesn't seem as fun. We all have personal preferences for certain types of games and they do not always have great games in that genre out year round. Since MMOs have died out i've found it hard to game all the time. Only 2-3 titles per year really suck me in. Last year it was Witcher 3 and FO4 modding. This year DOOM started but is too short of a title.

We all get this way. Then a title comes along that grabs you for weeks straight as a reminder why you love gaming.

I take week or longer breaks about every other month. Sometimes I quit for 3 months. Sometimes I play all day two days in a row. Very much happens in spurts for me.

Stopped playing when I first married and was starting a career. Probably stayed out of gaming for 4-5 years.

Stopped after Sega Genesis. Started back up when MGS1 was released on the PlayStation. Didn't even know WTF a PlayStation was with its fancy CDs instead of cartridges. When I found out the game was coming out, I bought a PS that day and left it in the box by the TV. Wife was pissed I spent money on it. Then when the game released, I played and she watched the entire time. I was hooked.

I was still a casual, but followed the PS into the PS2 and played a ton of games. Burned out and quit gaming again. Multiple factors...kid, deployments after 9/11 got nuts. Just had more important stuff to do. Didn't get a PS3 until 4 or 5 years after it came out. Anytime I thought about jumping in, the games just didn't interest me. Did a little PC gaming, but not anything hardcore. Think the only games I still had were Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate

Turning point that brought me back was my daughter getting older and becoming a bit of a gamer. She's a giant Zelda nerd and I would hear her get frustrated playing, so I'd go help her. Went from there and I was hooked again. Pretty heavy into gaming now; both of us.

I get tired very often but I switch it up to keep things fresh. I'll switch from ps4 to pc strategy.

I do play a lot but that's because I always play when I'my watching Netflix or listening to a podcast or something so the game will be a secondary issue.

On a sideboard, that has left me with intense impressions connecting random movies, shows, and podcasts to gaming levels.

Like I connect Perfect Dark with Gladiator.

I connect level 6 of Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 with The Man in the Iron Mask.

And I connect the forest level in Bllodborne with the Ancient Warefare podcast.

I don't think I played a single video game in 2014, but got back into it in 2015. It's a great time killer.

I've been on the decline for the past 3 years. It usually picks up around the CoD days. I'm really looking for CoD4 to change that this year though. :fingerscrossed:

I grew up playing n64, PlayStation, halo and various RPGs. I believe right after I played final fantasy 13 (2011 I think) is when i was in my college prime and started to lose interest other than playing the occasional madden game against a buddy. However, last year I decided I needed to find something to occupy my time on my off days other than drinking and decided to start gaming again. Got an xbone last December and have thoroughly enjoyed it

However, I can't just jump right into another game after I finish one. I just finished witcher 3 last month after 150 hours of gameplay and decided to take a break and get caught up on several tv series until FF15 comes out. I did buy FF1 for my phone though to play at work if you want to count that lol

Paging Corndogcologne...

I didn't play for a couple of years and then randomly started logging a ton of hours on Modern Warfare 2. That and BLOPs are really what got me back into it. I've been on hiatus for a few months now but am pretty excited for BF1 release.
