>playing a game just makes me feel like I'm wasting time I could be spending playing another game, can barely stay committed to one game at a time without becoming anxious

How do I rekindle my love for vidya, /v/? Should I finally take a break for the first time in years?

Take a break. You're jaded.

I was like that, then I discovered Etrian OdysseyIt rekindled my love for games.
Forget about your backlog and look for a game you might like

I know the feeling anon.

Just accept the fact that you will never finish all of these games in your lifetime, and then play what you want to play.
>>
>>332487043

Artificially contain your game selection.

Force yourself to pick 5 games to finish before you let yourself play any others. Uninstall/put away other games.

What the fuck man.

>>332487043
Take a break, stupid. Play what you want, when you want, and do something else if you don't want to play.
>>

>Force yourself to pick 5 games to finish before you let yourself play any others
Forcing it doesn't sound like a good idea though. That'll probably just make you start to think of video games as a second job rather than a hobby you do for fun, making the problem even worse.
>>
>>332487997
Don't force yourself to play. Force yourself to not play any others. That's why I said 5 games instead of one. If you can't manage a selection between 5 games just stop playing video games until the urge returns.

I haven't seriously enjoyed a video game in almost five years. They all feel like some sort of chore I'm doing so I can pretend I still have a shred of happiness in me.

I don't fucking know what to do. I don't have any other hobbies, all I did as a kid was play video games and now I don't even have that. I just keep coming to this website every day because I don't have anything else

Same. First 2/3rds of the game are fun, and I usually play for hours. In the last 1/3rd of the game everything feels like a drag and I try to finish ASAP so I can finally reclaim my life. Rinse and repeat

My 3DS broke so I'm playing more Wii U to be honest.

Gonna get a new New 3DS when the price drop happens later this year.

Chances are if you're unhappy now, you won't suddenly become happy once you have someone to sug ur dick

I'm fairly certain it would. I am just thinking about having a GF now and the thought of it makes me really happy. Its not even about the dick sucking.

If you are doing it right it will take many months, and over time you learn to put up with more shit so it can last years.

GF also naturally limits your vidya which makes it dramatically more fun. Same concept on how a job makes you love it more.

If that is still honeymoon phase then I will take it. Also even vidya has honeymoon phases. Sooner or later it wears off and you find a new one, both vidya and GF. Doesn't mean you should not pursue it.

Choice is a burden. Sell/delete some games.
Then, go do something with your life. Burn some time with other things, and then your time with videogames becomes more precious. Make obligations elsewhere, so you can't break them.
>>
>>332487043

This is my exact predicament right here. I end up playing musou games or trying to get good at guilty gear, but feel like i should be playing all the rpg and action games i have piling up. When i think about putting one in i think about how much time it will take or all the random battles ill have to go through, but i wanna experience the story and gameplay. It sucks.
