You see this? I should be wanting to play this right now. These games have been my some of my favorite games going back to the first game called Demon's Souls. Yet here I am not really caring that I haven't played this yet.

I have lost so much interest in gaming. I haven't played a game in many months now. Does anyone else here know this feel? Explain why you have lost interest in gaming.

You're probably depressed.

Happens when you get older. Once you start playing it you realize how nice it is.

Problem is, in my opinion, it's a pain to start new games. It's not just like "I've got 10 minutes lets do a few races in Mario Kart". It's:

>turn on ps4, about a minute
>put in game
>game needs to install
>THEN needs to update
>company logos for fucking half an hour
>finally start the game
>have to customize your character, another 10 or so minutes--more if you're an autist
>opening cutscene kinda cool
>a tutorial area you have to slog through before you finally have some fun around
>first boss

It just takes hours to start games these days. And that's just for the ps4. I got it on PC so I had to download it for like 2 days.

I started it last night and it's pretty good so far. Going to do some more later. Once you start it becomes hard to put it down.

if you're addicted to 4chan and porn 24/7 your attention span will get so destroyed you will be too lazy to play a vidya game.

you just have to quit one or more of those things for a little bit

>Happens when you get older.

Well a few years ago I didn't feel this way. I turned 27 last month. I feel this is part of the reason I have lost interest. I was actually dreading my birthday since the beginning of this year. I don't know why 27 of all years is the one for me. It just seems like this current age for me it's like something snapped. It's a milestone yet it shouldn't be. When people think milestone they think 10, 20, 25, 30, etc. Not 27 if you know what I mean.

I don't know why though. Last year I had so much more interest in games. Although yes I do admit that over the years I have been playing less and less. At 18 I would be playing nearly all day. 21-24 I would say more a less the same thing honestly. 25-26 there was a noticeable change for me in regards to wanting to play but this year is ridiculous.

Imagine a line graph showing my interest, play time and this year basically goes straight down. Literally a straight line down.

I have been addicted to this site for years friend. Although porn addiction has gotten pretty bad recently. Almost to the point of when I was a teen. Well maybe not that bad but still.

this game is very fun. enjoying it a lot

>>28005454
you can play while it's updating and the first boss is stupid easy if you have any experience with the souls series, you're just bad at PS4 it sounds like

>>28005327
Good, maybe now you can do something less degenerate.

souls games are literally for degenerates

they all carry the same theme of entropy and inevitable decline of civilisations

They're depressing games. You traipse around abadonded castles and decrepit shitholes full of hostile monsters in total silence for 1 hour until you eventually come towards the area boss. Then, unless you're a veteran of the series, or naturally talented at video games, you'll most likely die more than 5 times to every boss whilst also having to simultaneously take the 10 minute grueling walk back every time you die.The game is an excercise on willpower and the futility of everything.

If you're bored of the mainstream then get this greenlit on Steam.

>tfw still enjoy vidya but shit pc and poor

>>28005327
I don't blame you, OP. The video game industry is fucking trash now. All of this "pay-to-play" bullshit with DLCs, and over saturated, copy paste content, how could anyone stay current with gaming anymore?
>>
>>28005327
To be fair there's been so many souls games, it's easy to get burnt out from them.

I'm someone who played them all from release, including demons souls/bb. There's been like 5 games in 7 years, plus the dlc that brings you back to playing them again a few months later. I still enjoy them but they aren't games I'm too hyped for, I know what they are now and the charm has gone.

I wouldn't say you've lost interest in gaming, you could be burnt out from souls games.

>>28006428
you just did a really good job explaining why i love these games.
they mirror this shit life and i'm only coming to terms with that by playing them.

>be neet
>only reason I got a job was to upgrade pc
>work for about 5 months
>make beast upgrades to pc
>not just hardware like gpu but new monitors, mouse etc
>can play all new games on max
>don't like any of them
>quit job
>go back to playing dota all day

I hate my life. Mom is pressuring me to get another job too.

Dark Souls 3 had an detailed instruction manual. This single handedly saves the games industry imo
