>>333227054
And you thought 4chan of all places would comfort you with your feelings?
>>333228057
I was hoping so, yes.
>>333227054
Why don't you have fun anymore, anon?
>>333228057
/v/ is basically /r9k/ at this point
>>333228441
Kill yourself, nigger
>>333227054
If you don't like videogames don't play them.
Take a break.
If you still aren't feeling it then find another hobby.
I thought I was also a lost cause, 'till Dragons Dogma reignited my spark and I completed the game in one sitting.
>>333227054
Untill one day, you discovered drugs and buddhist mind powers
>Actually doesn't like video games
Why are you even here.
Find the game that makes you feel like a kid again and play it. That's really all it takes.
>>333228891
>>333228616
>>333228515
I never said I didnt like them, just that I miss the childhood enthusiasm from before. I cant remember the last time I played a game and sat fo for hours on end just entranced by it
>having an Xbone
If you had the superior PS4 you could have gotten him hooked on EDF instead of the worst Dead Rising, way to be a shitty older cousin.
>>333228842
Nice try Frieza
>>333229605
I do have a PS4 though, he picked it out so thats what he wanted to play. I figured he would get bored and want to try something else right away but guess not
>>333229605
Of course I forget to post the pic when I actually get a 5
>>333227054
Why should be Yui crying?
>>333228441
faggot

>5 minutes later "anon, I want to play a different game"
>say no he has to play that one for a while
>he is complete garbage at everything, can't even accomplish the simplest of tasks
>he's been like this for years even though he has game systems at home
By the time I was his age I had already beaten Street Fighter II Turbo on 8 stars
>>333227054
If you feel you'll never have that enthusiasm again, it's probably because you've grown up.
>>333232990
fucking 100% this my nephew has found sleeping dogs to be his favourite game though so i'm happy
>>333227054
play a new genre
specifically shmups
when I got really into them it was so intense being close to a 1cc that when I finally beat the last boss of Dodonpachi my hand was literally shaking and I had a cold sweat
>>333227054
Well, did you slam his innocent little boypussy? Go on. Tell us.
>>333228727
>not playing Splatoon while tripping your face off
casual
>>333232990
>cheaping out fighting game AI is an achievement
fucking lol. Top 8 at your local arcade in turbo when you were a child then you can talk
>>333227054
>OP
>Has Halo
>Buys XBox
>Expecting other people to respect him as a person
Fucking up from the very beginning, son.
>>333234113
>>333233485
Thats good taste
>>333227054
nice blog faggot, now kill yourself
>>333234837
all the little guy does it drive around while doing that activate hijacking shit in the yellow tracksuit
>>333234553
I'm an idort though. Waiting on Raiden V to ship right now
>>333234407
I wasn't quite a child but I did that when I was 17.
>>333236203
>17 when turbo was out
lol go back to bed grandpa
>>333228441
You are beyond pathetic.
>>333236339
It was Super Turbo and it was in 2001. I'm 31 now.
>>333236717
And thinking about it a little longer I was 16, not 17.
>tfw still have enthusiasm and fun
Why are you so jaded, anons? Don't tell me you blame /v/ and/or videogames that your life sucks?
>>333238073
>He doesn't have a mental illness
>He was not poor during years and had to start over every game in borrowed consoles and lost his data several times so it all sucked
At least for me, tired gamer isn't a meme.
>>333238256
And now you have a computer and you can finally complete all those cool games from your childhood. If such a thing makes you feel tired maybe you could try a different hobby.
Not by dropping vidya entirely, but just by trying something new, and then coming back to vidya with a fresh mindset.
>>333238073
reeee fuck off normie stop enjoying things
>>333238554
I don't have money to do something else. I emulate nearly every game I play, that's why I put all my money into the computer.
I have a job, but here in beaner country I am getting the minimal salary, because I never could finish highschool because of schizophrenia (being asocial and inconstant was what make me become a drop out)
I survive running my own business, cause here I can't get fired as I am my own boss.
Life was hard up to this point. I just want to forget.
Also I am 30 now, so my hands and reflexes aren't as good as they used to be. Time doesn't forgive, and I know after 35 it will only get worse.
Enjoy your youth, anons.

seriously faggots like you that start these sappy bullshit threads should be banned
>>333227054
You may have some depression going on there m8. I'm 26, I still have a fucking blast when I get the right game. Most recently that's been Senran Kagura and Gravity Daze, hell when BB came out myself, room mate and a couple friends played it for twelve fucking hours straight with many shots.
I expect DaS3 is going to be an all-nighter also. If you're not enjoying your hobbies you need to figure out if it's the hobby itself, or are you simply not enjoying life in general?
>>333239036
Go lurk /fringe/ and become a wizard.
>nephew is like 3-4
>probably gonna be reading soon
>definitely the right age for vidya
What do I get him?
>>333239908
Well I already go to /r9k/ sometimes.
I can't be there all day, because it is NSFW and like I said, I am in my business so people constantly gets in, can't see risky stuff.
>>333240046
Super Mario Bros
If you are sony, Crash
If you are microshit, then Kameo
>>333240046
don't let him stick out like a sore thumb just let him play the video games other kids are playing and quit trying to convert him into the games you like as a kid
>>333240156
I was thinking SNES or a Sega Genesis. Super Mario All Stars would be a good bet, and I could probably sneak Mortal Kombat 2 in there while no one was looking.
>>333239036
Not all games asks you to have so much reflexes, you could also just play on easy or get into RPG's.
Hang in there, anon.
>>333240083
That's the worst place a depressed person could go to.
>>333240046
Red Alert and the original Strongholds
>>333240046
The same games you played at that age.
>>333227054
Getting off 4chan (or at least /v/) would help
>>333240271
He already plays or watches my father play Rainbow Six Seige and all that dudebro shit so no problems there. I just want him to start with some simplistic shit that won't hold his hand and isn't voice-acted.
>>333240585
why not try some of the lego shit they are simplistic and just fun
>>333240046
A book
>>333241263
Do you know where we are?
>>333240046
Mine likes Lego City Undercover. Just rides the train and sometimes runs over people. When he found out he could shoot people he thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
He's actually pretty good at Yoshi's Woolly world for a four year old.
He's terrified of the Squid Sisters, but Splatoon isn't a good game for a 4 year old anyway.
>>333240083
/r9k/ is a bunch of whiny faggots
>>333228441
Fuck you and everything you enjoy in life, you filthy fucking faggot.
Tbh only threads like these are what make me want to leave /v/. The realization of how many of you fucks are so fucking bitter, jaded, unfunny, autistic, malicious assholes. I'd say get help but you're beyond help plus psychiatry is just another racket.
>>333242929
as of your post there are only 32 unique posters you jackoff look at how many threads there are right now on /v/ look at all those replies this is a small fucking % kill yourself you fucking angsty queer
>>333243241
I'm not sure what you're purpose was posting that other than proving me right.
>>333229019
Seriously take a break, don't even follow releases or video game media. break it like a bad habit. Return in a year or two.
burch get
>>333227054Did you get to fuck your cousin?
>>333244439
April Fool's was four days ago.
>>333234269
