Cabrelle Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Do you ever get bored of gaming and want to take a break and try something else, such as reading a book or watching TV? How often does this happen to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katri Marcell Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm like this right now 😢 well that doesn't include mobile gaming though but a good WoW book and Orange is the new Black have won me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantanoice Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I've been pretty jaded with the game industry since Gamergate. After what happened to those Guild Wars 2 employees it sounds like not much has improved. I don't purchase many AAA games any more outside of Nintendo because I find so many of them are worse versions of games from 10-20yrs ago with some flashier tech. I try to look to the indie space now to see what cool mechanics are coming out from them. I also found that nowadays, a lot of videogames seem like work. There's so many little things to do in them. A bunch of action titles require your reflexes to be on point when you play them as well. Coming home from a long day of work, they sometimes feel like more work, so I'd rather chill with a dumb TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No, not really cause I don't do much of it. Â Also, when I do go thru splurges where I play a lot - well, I just don't get bored! Â I'm caught up in the excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I might get bored of a certain game or game genre, but when I do I just play something else. I've been a gamer all my life and never felt bored of gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarik Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Once I got bored of playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 after spending 3-4 hours in it without a stop. But generally from gaming - never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swartzcop Kennedy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yea, I get bored, especially when I'm losing..But I don't get to another activity, I just switch to another game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimee Hart Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Gaming can be extremely tiring after a while, which is why I think it's really important to get another hobby. As I write a LOT about video games for a lot of sites, it can be really tiring at times to be like 'well guess I'll play some MORE video games' after writing about them for so long. Thankfully I'm using my spare time exercising/learning another language. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Nope not really, I mean there are times that the game I am playing gets a bit draggy but I always look forward to playing the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyorAlice Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I take breaks from gaming in order to give my eyes a rest from looking at the screen. I don't want to hurt my eyes from looking at a screen for long periods of time because they say that that isn't good on your eyeballs. But I can't say that I've ever gotten bored with gaming. As long as they come out with a new console periodically and new games for each console at a steady rate, then I don't see myself getting bored with gaming.

DylanC Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I think it's pretty normal to sometimes take a break from gaming. Time is a finite resource, I guess. I tend to read more books, watch more films/tv and go out skateboarding more when I'm in one of these moods --Â I still play the odd game of COD or AvP, though. And I always come back to gaming in a hardcore way after a while and it weirdly makes me enjoy/love the gaming experience more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming and writing about games is definitely pretty exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skateboarding sounds fun! I've only been on a skateboard once and broke my arm so I think that may have put me off for life. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true? I would love to visit Japan one day. It's on my bucket list! Gosh, totally understand why you'd be put off skateboarding after an accident like that. Yeeesh, a broken arm is never fun 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
