I want to get into UMVC3 and my xbox 360 is sitting 10 feet away from me but I just can't bring myself to turn it on
I've been browsing v for 2 hours

Age? Me and my friends are on our mid twenties and we still play vidya on a regular basis.
Please don't compound your failures by shitting up /v/ and making things worse for the rest of us. The shitposting and eceleb threads are bad enough.
>>337488915
just hide the thread and report it if it'd against the rules
All this Nintendo shitposting, man. I say to myself "don't let shitposts turn you down, you know very well the difference between actual criticism and a shitpost". And yet, it's slowly destroying me.
I just enjoy their games, I don't expect them to be 10/10 GOTY and I also know pretty well scores are meaningless. But man, it's useless. The shitposting is so strongs it baffles me. How can someone hate so much a corporation? How can someone hate so much a fanbase they have to tell them what they are allowed to play?
I just don't know. Fuck. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

What do you guys do if you're working through your backlog and you find a game you just can't beat? I'm playing Lovely Planet and it's so fucking ridiculously hard and frustrating that I'm tempted to never touch it again.

Just admit you bought a game you don't like and move on. You can back to it later, eventually.

I'm broken inside.
And if you're asking, yes, I bought the Steam version too in the meantime. I never played that one either.
I still love the game. I watched tournaments about it. But I didn't play it. I can't. I can't.
Help me.
Wrong board. This thread isn't even about vidya. It's about how to get out of a funk. If you are serious try /adv/. If not make a thread about vidya.

You guys need something else in your lives. Games are more fun after work, games are more fun after the gym. Everything is better with variety around it.

Been there, done that. And then I found it: re rev 2! What a game, 180 hours and counting
>tfw Stellaris, Uncharted 4, R6 Siege Dust Line, Hitman exclusive contracts, and Doom 4 came out this week
>>337491923
I loved and played all the previous KoF games, I'm a fan of a series. I watched closely all footage and gameplay videos since its announcement, I was amazed by it. And as I said, I still watch tournaments and I even occassionally post sprites and backgrounds from the game.
I love it.
But I never played it.

And thus the magic is dead again. I can't move on to another game until I get closure with this one but trudging through this campaign again feels like a fucking chose because I HAVE to, even though I would have opted to play again on hard mode anyway given the CHOICE.
Bare in mind I only have 1-2 hours a day to play games so even a short as fuck game like this is like 2 weeks of my time

Just throw the disk out of your window man. Don't punish yourself just because devs are retards
>>337492820
If I do that I wont start a new game for months. I need that closure man.

Do what I did and take a year or two of 4chan and video games. This today is the first time I've browsed /v/ since summer 2014, I've gotten into physical sports and not really played video games. Still depressed, but markedly more satisfied with life and actually have friends and shit. It's great.
In the mood to play a game.
>top games are silent hill series, mgs, ico, etc
>toss on fifa.
I bought Souls 3 but I can't find the motivation to play it...
>>337493087
Kind of in the same boat. I start it up enjoy it for a bit, then it crashes after an hour and I don't even feel like restarting it.
Feels like the only things I play anymore are the same things I'm already comfortable with.
More reruns of dark souls games. I can play them like I'm on autopilot now and that feels like it's all I want, is something to put my brain on standby mode.
I wanna be excited by new stuff again but nothing ever jumps out from my backlog.
>Come from work
>Pissed because no time to play vidya

>Suddenly no motivation to play any
At least there's whisky to bring me some fake mirth.
>>337493204
You have to challenge yourself. Find something with a high skill cap or really involved gameplay in some way, and try to get into it. Preferably something from a genre you're not used to.
I killed myself last week and if has completely changed my life. everybody loves me up here in heaven and i have smoking hot girls all over me. I fucked a girl who looked like emma Watson last night except she had huge tits. Its weird actually how popular i am up here but whatever dude who gives a shit

This
Been neet for about 5 months now and the thought of playing games all day makes sick, it's so boring.
Really need to get a job but after fucking uni up only options I have have is shit walmart tier jobs.
>>337492514
This, just get friends bro!
I want to die
Whenever I get tired of singleplayer games I relapse into multiplayer stuff because I fond competing against others gets back my drive to play in general desu
Lately it's been Helldivers, Rocket League, and Street Fighter V.
Anyone else the same?
Strange. These meta threads make me feel like I'm with friends, you.
being neet is literally shit. i want a job just 2 end the loneliness. nobody told me life was gonna be so gay
>>337493795
I know that feel senpai. I thought it would be fun, it was, for about 2 months. Now it's like I'm stuck standing still but everyone else is still moving.
If not for 4chan, i'd have gone insane.
>>337492070
It's clear you haven't been here in years.

>>337494065
I didn't say working is good. Unless I can get a good playing job with good hours, I won't bother. I'd rather be neet than work a shit job any day.
It's just that being neet gets really boring. All I look forward to is what I'm going to eat for my next meal.
>>337487524
>getting depression from videogames of all of things
>>337493945
yeah man. I was a neet for years until I got a job last year and I ended up doing more in that year than I did in like the 4 years previous. I met ppl and did things I never would have otherwise. Getting that job was one of the best things that happened to me even though it was minimum wage shit.
Eventually I had to quit tho so I've been a neet again for the last few months and back to feeling like shit again. Completely disconnected from the rest of the world
>>337494704
It's the effect, not the cause, at least in my case.
>>337494874
Yeah, fucking sucks. I'm still not at the point where I'm not applying for minimum wage stuff. I feel like I'm better than that, even though I really am not since I wouldn't be where I am now if I was.
I might have to swallow my pride and start applying to everything and anything. It's been almost 8 months now since neetdom started, and that time went by so quick, Before I know it it's going to be a year, 2 years, 5 years. Then I'll truly be fucked.
Best of luck to you my man. Why did you have to quit your job though?
