As you get older, you become more critical of your games and your purchases. Your mom isn't buying it for you anymore, so that money gains much more worth when you're working for it. As a result, you want the best bang for your buck. I know that happened to me when I grew up.

You just need to find a good game series that you really enjoy and can overlook the flaws of. I'd recommend a simpler game that doesn't rely on having high def HD graphics, or a cheesy love story straight out of a JRPG. Go simple.
>>
Just stop playing games for 3 months. Not a single game, then play a game you're comfortable with and like already.

I can't, I also prefer multiplayer because I bored of single player unless the game is really truly challenging like ninja gaiden or dark souls.
they're just too easy and I get bored idk this really fucking sucks

I'm gonna just take a wild guess here-- you're getting old and your life is taking you nowhere. You live with mom and dad still, most likely, and the crushing pressure of life is too much for you to escape into vidya with.

Get your life in order and the fun will return to the vidya.

>>
I'm also growing old and I'm still enjoying games, so nope it got nothing to do with age. It's got everything to do with your new adult circumstances.

I did take a break of a month or so because I had to travel throughout the countryside because of work, and when I came home I felt refreshed and willing to play. It also helps that I've deleted my backlog and now just play games on a whim instead of counting them off a list, I stopped buying games on steam summer sale because the more games I bought the less I was inclined to play any one of them.

tried getting back into the witcher 3. it's so lame, the exploration, the world, the god awful combat and horse riding,

fuck i'd rather just watch a movie of the story the developers wanted.

i want an rpg with great loot, great combat mechanics, and depth of skill building.

most games are masquerading as open world movie adventures.

Solve whichever applies to you.

1. Depression. Good luck with this one.
2. You pirate hundreds of games and have no monetary attachment to said games so you have no monetary obligation to try and play and enjoy them, the very second you get bored you move on to the next one and the cycle repeats.
3. You spend every waking moment of free time on something game related, be it a forum, a stream, a youtube channel, or on a game itself trying to force it.

Solve the issues you more than likely do have and you'll return to games if you have any desire to afterwards.

I bet you haven't played "half" the hard old games you're talking about. Perhaps if your taste wasn't so shit that you only enjoyed FPS or something, you'd know that there's enough old games to last you a lifetime.

halo 2 had a better ranking system and it came out in 04. basically you would climb your way up from level 1 based on wins/losses. you win enough in a row against people your level and you go up, lose enough and you go down. plain and simple. only problem is you could chill at the same level without playing and never de rank
im really sick of these 10 placement match bull shit. it's just so bad especially when you play with a full team and someone gets a higher rank just because they got lucky enough to get a few more kills even though they're evenly matched with you.

I used to play FPS games obsessively but eventually moved on to other genres. Had a blast with the first Dawn of War or the XCOM games (one and two, haven't played that TPS one). Try something else, like a good racing game or something.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean, exactly? I played plenty of NES and SNES games, they just aren't on my 3x3. Haven't really gotten around to things like SEGA's consoles.

I feel like you don't have much of an argument here, you were saying something about me only liking games past 2006? There's been a definite shift in quality (and who developers catered to) between games from around 2000 and the games that we have now, and I don't see it getting better.

Nearly all of those games have modern versions that aren't half bad, including Yu No in the near future.

>>343434818

it's not due to age anon, because I have the same problem, as do a number of other people here that I've listened to.

You know what we all have in common? We all made the mistake of coming to /v/ and sticking around. This place is toxic, a cancer for the mind. /v/ finds something wrong with EVERYTHING no matter how small and insignificant. Even if you disagree with a lot of them that line of thinking is contagious.

It will kill your enjoyment of most if not all games. Get out and get away from here while you still can.

Good luck though, I tried already. We're here forever. There is no going back. This place is like a black hole. It's like some kind of living thing that feeds on negativity.

I was in much the same boat at least a few times in my life. I was huge into TFC (original, not TF2 I bought TF2 on release and hated it) then when that ended I had a gaming depression much like yours. Then I found Gears of War and played that obsessively online for 3 years before it died completely and I hated the sequels. Last year Splatoon rekindled my love and I've been playing that obsessively. I continue to be amazed at how deep and nuanced high level play is (I'm S+ rank which is the top rank in that game). To me, Splatoon is the greatest multiplayer shooter game of all time which is kind of crazy considering I'm in my late 20s and previously played more adult oriented titles like TF/CS/UT2004/gears.

Shadow Warrior is completely different, Gothic and Silent Bomber don't really have modern versions (which, in the former example, I think is actually a good thing), Deus Ex is all right but doesn't get close to the original, Rance (and Daibanchou/Kichikuou) are pretty unique even in their own series, La Mulana is a proper modern remake and a shining example on how to make one, but in that it remains an exception.

Infinite Space's creators shat out NightCry which pretty much fucked them over financially from the get-go, Ace Combat has tumbled around and we won't know where it will end since there's barely any info on AC07. On that front, I remain optimistic.

I'd say they're pretty different from what we see nowadays.

sorry I stopped reading there. gow1 didn't even have a competitive ranking system and it was shitty going against people who probably weren't even that good
not only that the netcode...the clunky ass movement compared to unreal championship 2.
everything was instagib except for pistols and rifles...terrible I just couldn't do it
and i'll never get into a class based fps either.
attack/defend fps's are also boring to me. I like the ones where its mostly based on kills.
I like even playing fields unlike cs where ct's have the advantage since all they need to do is wait. not only that the fucking terrorists still have better weapons just to try and balance it

Honest question: how often are you on /v/?

I had a thought process similar to yours last year, and then I took a step back and realized games weren't the problem, it was me and /v/. I was spending more time on /v/ than playing games and whether you post or just browse, the /v/ mentality seeps in and before you know it everything is garbage or awful, or you recognize a flaw and think "I wonder what /v/ would say if I made a thread about this?"

I only come on /v/ and 4chan in general when I need to kill time. I'm waiting for a ride to a friend's house right now. This place can really do shit to how you feel about vidya, and the scariest part is how sneaky it happens. Get off 4chan.

When people from the past try to unite and make a game in the old fahsion, it ALWAYS ends with a kickstarter disaster.

Try to concentrate really hard and flip that "thinking" switch in your head. Try to imagine a person who doesn't like MOBAs, CS or Team Fortress 2 knock-offs, and yet that wants to enjoy something without having to compromise with games with tightly knit/limited playerbases.

What would you have them play?

Not the guy who recommended it, but now it truly qualifies as a "competitive game" because it's dead.

Okay, but now he comes in and sets the rule on what people can and can't like so it's okay to call him immature.

lol except they're all probably playing for fun the way games are meant to be played unless its in a tournament or for money I guess. seriously I go on cod and I hear like a dog barking through the Kinect. its not remotely competitive without a true ranking system

I haven't been able to enjoy games nearly as much as I used to, in the last few years.
Some games used to make me totally autistic and I just NEEDED to keep playing them for weeks straight, examples like the Souls series, Terraria, Payday 2, TF2 and WoW.
Nowaday I research into what games I buy and I'm still disappointed most of the time. Some games I don't even bother to continue on after an hour. Even old games feel like a chore to play.
I start anything up, old or new, games I thought I'd love and games I used to love, and I'm just bored out of my mind. I feel like a lifeless loser, I feel like I waste away my life doing nothing. I blame this hobby for making me a friendless loser, I blame it for making me break up with the only girlfriend I ever had and still love and miss, etc. The only other thing remotely aking to an interest that I've found has been biking, but I'm too lazy and depressed to do anything about it.

What do?

>its not remotely competitive
You're playing CoD with a dog. You're evenly matched. That's pretty competitive IMO.

I think the only games I'm still playing now are from 2015 or earlier.

prime example of a competitive game

I'm 33 and I still enjoy games, but I spend my free time between hobbies. I think being on this site with it's overanalyzing of every game or complaints of censorship can bring you down though. This place can make you think that video games and the people who play them are terrible people, when that's not true, it's just really negative here. OP you might just need a break from this site or find another hobby for a bit. Return to games later. They'll still be around
>>
>>343442016
My question is why are you taking it personally?
>>
>>343441745
only time it's competitive is if it's a tournament or there's actually competitive ranks. even in a tournament you could be against people who are out of your league depending on which tournament it is.
>>
>>343442520

When you're competing against someone else. Don't disregard the dog. Maybe it's good.

The motion control aiming is crazy good though it takes a few weeks to fully get used to. It's insanely superior to analog stick aiming. I feel like I have about 90 percent of my PC mouse aiming skills versus like 40 percent when I play console analog stick shooters. The kids are too busy trying be mature and cool amongst their peers so they play CoD and the toddlers don't typically make it above C or B rank leaving only older players or truly skilled under in the high ranks. Also, no voice chat keeps you focused on winning/playing instead of trash talking and listening to obnoxious kids.

>>343442857
that's what you think, there's been an undeniable shift in development priorities in vidya and it's only going to get worse with games like Uncharted or God of War becoming the standard

obviously there's shit you can enjoy despite gaming largely becoming shit, just like there's an exception to almost everything, but that's beside the point

Yeah, that happens every gen. Video games have always been shit. You're supposed to cherrypick.

again, what people do is beside the point

look at releases and standards from the year 1999 and then come back and look at what sells the most nowadays, if you can't agree with me here that games have gotten worse in that regard, you're fucking delusional

Nice, I grew up only playing PC shooters since Doom and Wolfenstein 3D days. I refused to play console shooters since the controls felt terrible, but I have many friends like you who are the opposite. How I got into playing gears is a long story... Anyway, if you do get into Splatoon one of my alt NNIDs is Derp9001

Shadowrun games were infinitely more enjoyable to me, even if gameplay in these is less complex than both Wasteland and PoE.

>>343444086
>No, that was just as bad.
good taste, I didn't even buy it.
>>343444190
I would still say that pc fps's are far more competitive. I don't really feel like it's fair when people can hardly aim with a controller especially if the game doesn't know how to properly match people which is literally every fps now.

Enjoying games is it's own kind of suffering.

I cannot possibly play EVE, stay in master league of starcraft2, be active on 2b2t.net, be active on my favourite ss13 server, all while keeping up with important game releases.
>>
>>343444406
I agree overall, but the motion control aiming is seriously almost as good as mouse. The matchmaking is also very very good for solo ranked, never takes more than 20 seconds to get a match started and the player skill seems right. Only thing that sucks is quad squad matchmaking is poor if your lower ranked because most people that play in full squads are high ranked so you just get matched up with people way better than you so don't quad squad until you're already skilled or at least prepare your pooper.
>>
>>343445528
wait it actually has ranks? also how can you tell if the game doesn't really have a huge skill gap? do you think there's a skill gap at all?
>>
>>343445528
You're... Stupid autocorrect
>>
>>343445602
Yes I has ranked mode and ranks. You aren't allowed to play ranked until you play at least about 6 hours of unranked play.
>>
>>343445602
Skill gap is huge in Splatoon. Skill ceiling extremely high. Look at Thatsrb2dude's videos
