I remember when I turned 17 (33 now) I slowed down on games. By the time I was 20 I stopped playing entirely.
I'm still interested in the culture, history and lastest developments. But actually sitting down and playing does nothing for me. I mean my g/f got a wii and wanted to play together and within about 10 minutes I was bored out of my mind.

Eventually you realize there are better things to do in life than waste 3 or 4 hours sitting around staring at a screen accomplishing / producing nothing.

I get that way with certain games and need a break from them, but I rarely feel that way about gaming in general. I've been steadily playing vidya almost daily for 30 years now. Mostly PC, but I love retro consoles too.

Now that I have kids, my time is severely limited, so I enjoy my time playing even more. I've had countless other pastimes and hobbies come and go throughout the years, but gaming has always held my interest.

I'll never stop playing vidya.

Yes.
Stopped completely during the years of university, between 19 and 23 I did only some Winning Eleven on the PSX with flatmates, then stopped almost completely for more than 5 years, then I met my current wife who's a strong Nintendo passionate (never been), and then I started to play games again with her.

This is common, especially if you've been going hard on video games for ~20 years

1 - Take a break. A little time off will get you back into the swing

2 - Play an old favorite. I play a lot of garbage for the sake of clearing my backlog. Sometimes it takes a really great game to pump you up enough to soldier on.

3 - Get another hobby. If all you do is work and video games youll get disillusioned. Pick up exercise, painting, wood working, something else to help give yourself an outlet.

Not uncommon. I got increasingly bored with video games at some point and basically stopped playing them for a good two years and some. I figured that's just being an adult or something and felt a little sad. At some point I downloaded a NES emulator on a whim and messed around with some older games, actually enjoying myself. Got a couple usb controllers, ended up ringing up the people living in the house I grew up in and digging around the cellar for my old NES & games and played them to death. Nowadays I've got a Mega Drive(which to me is an entirely new experience) and a bunch of games that I love to bits. It wasn't that I'd "grown up" in any appreciable way, but that modern games were all shit and boring.
and before any of you autismorific fagnuts start throwing a fit, yes I know it's subjective. shush
Maybe what could help you is a break, or playing the kinds of games you don't now or haven't for a long time. Did it for me, at least. Not to sound too much like an armchair psychologist, but it could also be other factors in your life/neurochemistry preventing you from enjoying things you used to. Best of luck, I hope you figure it out!

>Has any game in particular made you recover the enjoyment for video games?

This shit. Once I stopped caring about autistically exhausting every last possibility in games out of fear of missing a speck of content, I started enjoying them again. If you focus too much on the stuff that literally is work, then it's going to feel like work. You should focus on the gameplay and the challenge of beating the game.

>I don't seem to be enjoying videogames anymore

I started getting this way, when I hit my 30's. In the 1990's and early 00's it was the best thing ever. Then the culture changed. I just can't get into this mobile gaming/DLC/micro payments-bullshit anymore. Not to mention, many of my past favorite franchises have been thoroughly raped, front and rear. The latest entries are so soulless now. So I figured it's a good time to punch out now, I've already seen the best years anyway.

But even so, if the right title shows up, I wouldn't mind trying it. Such is the case with the new Doom. If I could find the hardware to play it on, I wouldn't mind beating it once, just to see how it stacks up against the originals. I just wouldn't wanna hafta pay for the experience.

Get into traditional roguelikes. The deep mechanics and simple gameplay is a breath of fresh air. Simple graphics (some tilesets, some ASCII) but amazingly deep world and such.

If you need a retro one on a system with graphics, give shiren a try. ADOM is pretty good but I don't care for the persistant overworld. Nethack is ok, but almost too obtuse. The original Rogue is pretty good actually. My personal favorites are not retro The Ground Gives Way, Infra Arcana, Golden Krone Hotel, Cogmind

I was burnt out on gaming but these revived my love for it. I played them exclusively for about 6 months. Link to a torrent with them on it: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/07/23/torrent-free-roguelike-mega-collection/

It sucks having a lot less free time to play games but that's what living as an adult is I guess. Sure there are people making money on playing videogames but that's just a short term saving at best.

Typically when you find yourself getting tired of something, that isn't your job, you take a break. I do this from time to time by switching out what system I'm playing on. Bored with PSX? Move to Genesis. Bored with that? Move to N64. Etc etc etc. If you are bored with gaming as a whole, find another hobby for awhile. I play guitar when I'm not invested in a game. Sometimes I'll put on a show I like and watch that while I fiddle around on guitar. Sometimes i go out with friends and have a drink instead.

1. Read classic literature before going back to games, or engage in some other hobby or medium that you haven't before.
2. Play a different genre than what you tend to play otherwise. If you've been playing lots of arcadey games, play some huge western story-heavy RPG, or a complex strategy simulation game. Whatever works as long as it's different and fresh.

how is that "surreal" at all? that's simply how fandom functions today. you participate in fandom activities instead of engaging with the target of the fandom precisely because it no longer satisfies you but you're not willing to let it go. being, say, a star wars fan means that you buy star wars-branded products and argue about them online, appreciating a movie from 1977 is completely optional and most of those people barely even know what happens in it. similarly, retro game fandom is about ordering cartridges off of ebay and their actual content is mostly irrelevant.

there's nothing more to "being a fan" than participating in fandom just like there's nothing more to being married than having a valid marriage license. you don't have to love or even like your spouse. you don't have to even like video games. you just have to like the idea of liking video games. you think all the people writing about "pi day" every year on social media could solve a basic math test? they just like the idea of liking maths. the OP doesn't like video games but he likes the idea of liking video games, which makes him a pretty average video game fan.

I think those people were only drawn to the idea of games rather than actually playing them. All the choice becomes overwhelming because each time they try a game they expect it to be something it's not. So they get discouraged and pintheir hopes on the next thing.

My problem is the opposite of way too much stuff I like playing and nowhere near enough time to get to it all. If the game industry imploded tomorrow I still don't think I could play everything in my backlog fully before my life minutes run out.

Every now and then a game draws me in to the point of loving to play. Aragami on Steam was really great. I really couldn't wait to play it in between breaks. I also go through spurts of playing EU4 for hours at a time, but I don't mentally classify that as a game in traditional terms. It's just point and click board game essentially.

I'm 34 now, and around 31 or so I started getting bored of playing PS3. then I started playing maybe 1 or 2 hours a week. Then none. I never upgraded to new generation of consoles.

Instead after browsing this board, I thought digging out my old NES and SNES would bring me joy from the nostalgia. It didn't. I bought a SNES classic and it didn't either. I'll probably beat Mario Kart again because I love that game. Then I'm just gonna play Steam occasionally. Being an adult sucks the fun out of life sometimes.

>2003: Man, video games are incredible! The only two things I love in life are JRPGs and getting my peeper sucked by an ugly girl with no self esteem!
>2005: What a time to be alive! I'm going to spend every night playing video games and sitting up on obscure forums arguing with strangers about oldschool anime!
>2010: Cancel that, video games and anime are gay as fuck. All I care about is fucking fat girls. I love busting in between their tits and bi-weekly pregnancy scares with girls I barely know!
>2013: All those fat girl destroyed my integrity, along with any hopes of dating someone above 6/10. It seems like all I have are video games and 4cahn, now that those old forums are gone.
>2016: I want to like video games, but I'm constantly in a slump and can't decide what to play. I pick up a game for for a few hours, and forget all about it a week later.
>2017: Deleted social media. Became a hermit. All I do is eat, sleep, and read. I stare at my video game collection, and my backlog of a billion games and I think "One day."
>2018: I have played and enjoyed video games every day, this year. So far I have cleared three larger titles off of my backlog, and I show no signs of fatigue. Somehow, I magcally overcame my inability to decide what to play. I just pick something at random off my shelf and boom... Half the time I'm sad it's over, now and have to stop myself from immediately restarting or picking up the sequel.

Hopefully it stays this way for a while.

People quickly accumulate vast amounts of Steam games from sales and bundles, because they are so cheap and because if they don't buy them right now when they're on sale then surely the opportunity will never come again even though they know sales happen many times a year like clockwork. They feel they have to justify their purchases by playing through them or at least spending a substantial amount of time on them before they can move on, and it's not like they can just sell or trade any of their games. The list of games is always staring at them when they open their library along with how long they've played, when they last played and how many achievements they've unlocked. They may fixate on achievements and badges even if they don't really want to. Steam stops being a game collection and starts being a list of chores to complete, and there are so many chores to choose from and go through. All your Steam friends can also see what you've been playing, how long you've been playing them for, how many achievements you've unlocked, and how many hours you've played for the last two weeks. Playing non-Steam games becomes an issue too because every minute you spend on them is a minute you aren't doing your job of clearing the Steam backlog and justifying all those purchases and showing everyone that you're not slacking off. Good thing you have services like How Long to Beat, Steam Left, How Long to Beat Steam, Steam Completionist, Steam Checklist, Backloggery, and Beat That Backlog etc. to help you with this, as well as endless articles and forum posts acting as a support group.

No doubt there are people who just like the idea of being "gamers," but there are also real problems with how games are developed, sold and experienced now. There are also more distractions and things to do than ever before, and the effects of the web, social media and smartphones have fractured people's attention spans.

If you really didn't care about video games as a hobby, you wouldn't be asking this question and making this thread. Clearly you've liked, maybe loved, video games in the past. And I'm assuming you want to recapture that joy. Well, I'll tell you what. There's no way to recapture the same joy that video games once gave you. Because you're older. But here's what you can do if you want to at least enjoy them again as a hobby.

1. Play your favorite old games all the way through and learn more about the secrets or whatever

2. Play some new games from the same time period and genre that you missed growing up

3. Play some new games from a different genre

4. Try taking up game development, instead of a chore, playing a new game will be research. Research the game's art, aesthetic, feel, gameplay, music, controls, patterns, systems. What are your favorite mechanics? What can be improved? If you could make a game that was a fusion of two of your favorite games, what would it look like? Remember, there are still many settings from history that have never been used in (popular) games. How about a good Titanic game? How about a game set in 1400s Scotland? There are so many weird possibilities, you'll never run out. And then you can make your own games and keep advancing the art higher and higher. And you'll never get bored, and it's easier than ever nowadays. See where it takes you.

Are you literally me? I'm 33 too, stopped caring at 17 too, etc.

The only game I played when I was 18 or 19 was Capcom vs. SNK 2, and when the interest around this game died (when I was 20), I stopped playing entirely, although video games were my dominant passion by far when I was younger.

If you don't have fun, just stop.

Chances are you're slowly getting into depression because of inactivity and constantly staring at the screen. Take a break, exercise, go out, don't turn on your computer for a day or two.

There are some cool 'retro-esque' VR games though. I think the high system requirements make simple graphics necessary for a lot of those games so a retro vibe is an attractive option.

As for OPs statement I also can't get into many games anymore these days. I'm 33, competitive games bore me at this point, but more technically challenging games like simulators hold my interest better. Aerofly is intergrating VR soon which I'm looking forward to.

I avoid getting disinterested by having other hobbies. When I play 3-4 hours a day of any genre but fighting games, I get burned out and annoyed. Ever since I took up other hobbies and got a steady job, I enjoy games way more since I play them a bit less.

Also learning about the technical aspects of cabinets and consoles over the years kept me interested since it let me watch how the tech got better and better.

I'm in a slump with the retro. Currently spending my 'gaming time' checking on shitty idle games on android. Think I need to hit the early 00's again and play something like Giants or Fable. Maybe that will push me back into something like Quake or Die by the Sword.

Unironically Skyrim. Played games here and there since I quit (((gamestop))) a few years back. Started playing Skyrim again after five years and I'm absorbed in all the content I missed from when it first came out. My advice? Start withnone of the best/your favorites and go from there. Also take a well deserved break now and again

You could just watch gameplay videos for 15 minutes a day and then calling it quits. That's even more patrician choice than spending one coin on arcade machine.
Is this a joke? I mean gaming is a hobby and thus, every hobby takes time and more you put in hours the more it is supposed to give back.
I suggest trying to find your own niche game in which you can improve. The more I have played games (since 5 years old to now...almost 35) the less I'm interested in AAA gaming because they are so damn stale. Graphics get better but nothing else changes- you control a character in 3d world and see some cinematic cutscenes once in a while, that's the basic formula for all applauded franchises in world. People say Uncharted etc are so damn great but I only see a poorly executed 3rd person shooter with stiff gameplay and not that many tactical options.
Play games which challenge you in some way like maybe fighting games, shmups or simulations. This way you can actually practice and feel you are gaining something back instead of staring at the screen waiting for cutscene to finish and then pressing 'x' to shoot a bad guy - that's not giving anything back to you in the end. You would be more better off by watching a movie.
Also if you are lucky you might find an online community which is not too big or shitty (but most often almost all communities are very very bad especially on popular online games) and use the game to socialize with people and gather around with one subject. That's a replacement for hanging out in arcades with your friends.
You just need to seek your place. Gaming still can give lot to you back. Also, if you are not interested in gaming why not start to modding or creating your own assets for some game...
The feeling of isolation is making you bored but once you figure out how to get out of that rut playing games can be fun again.

If they actually read they would find most if not all plots in video games silly and juvenile, and would play them for... you know, the fun of the mechanics. And then go back to reading when you want a story.

I enjoy layd back puzzle and strategy games more than action games these days. Mainly because the game mechanics of 3rd person and 1st person games are all identical and I've played that shit a trillion times before.

I think what kind of gets to me is how it just kind of became a constant in my life where if I finish one game I'm just going to start another one. Even when I'm making goals for what I want to accomplish this week/month a certain amount of progress in the games I'm playing is always part of those goals.
