TL;DR: How do you deal with vidya burnout /v/? I've got

Please help

Stop keeping a backlog like an autist and play when you feel like it.

>>379178984
That's the problem, it's not the backlog, it's the fact that I can't bring myself to play anything

>>379177912
Get Depressurizer and sort your backlog on rating/time to beat, and start cracking.

>>379177912
Stop treating video games as chores. Stop making a "backlog". Just play whatever you are in the mood to play.

Sometimes I see a video game being talked about here on /v/ and I think, "oh, this looks interesting", then I pick it up. Stop treating video games as things to be checked on a list. You don't have to play everything, anon. It is not a competition. There is no achievement or prize at the end.

when it happens i play older games, games i like or literally force myself to play something
for me it's hard to play anything since i got a job, because i don't have that much time anymore so i don't really play except on weekends

>>379179081
Just accept the fact that you don't want to play those games and wasted your money.
I dealt with that shit by just finding/playing some hidden gems/old games i never played before. Hell, instead of playing anything in the backlog i emulated Final Fantasy 1, it was actually pretty fun

Thanks anon, will check that out
>>379179140
To be honest, I never made a backlog, I just have a lot of games I have yet to play.
>>379179248
Well anon, I don't have a SO either, so I've got time after work to unwind with some vidya and then shitpost here after dinner, but for about a week, I've been feeling like one of those shitposters that don't actually play the game they talk about.
>>379179450
The thing is that I had wanted to play those games for a while, but I just can't do it. I just go blank when I look at my screen.

I'm using this fork btw, which I think is an improvement over the original: https://github.com/Theo47/depressurizer

>>379179743
Nigga most of those games are casual indie trash that you can beat in 4 hours tops, you have no excuse.

Start masturbating a lot. Then you'll get burnt out on fapping and move back to video games.

I already do, Honey Select is one of my go-tos for porn

>>379177912
Lostorage could have had a better ending but instead they ended with a crappy one

>>379177912
Actually burnout games are pretty fun. Too bad we will never see another one because fucking EA.

>>379180471
The entire show was crappy tho

>>379180815
Good point plus the requirements for the game and the challenge were dumb as hell

>>379180934
Even the rules of Duel Masters were better thought out than that shit, even the localised version

>>379180551
Wasn't the new Most Wanted basically burnout?

>>379177912
>so many interesting games to play
>scared that I won't get the full experience of one game because another game will take my interest before I finish the original game
>not sure if I'm playing a game for fun or if I'm playing it because I will feel unfulfilled if I don't finish what I started
>end up never finishing the original game and never playing the other interesting game because of the fact I never finished the original game
>this process continues forever

I know what you mean OP. The problem is not "treating games like a chore". The problem is determining whether or not you want to finish a game. I get just as much fulfillment by finishing a game as I do by having fun playing that game.

If boredom strikes in the middle of playing that game, it's a struggle of whether or not I should keep playing and feel fulfilled by finishing the game, or drop it halfway through because I'm not having as much fun as I feel like I should.

Fuck. I wish I was one of those people who could just go full out autismo over one single game for months/years rather than constantly be interested in new (not just "new" as in just released, but also old games that I never played that seem interesting) games every week.

Final Fantasy 1 was unironically good though.

You're chasing a high, op. A high that will never ever come back unless you abstain from vidya for a while. Try playing some tabletop, like d&d or pathfinder. Try some war games like x-wing, warhammer, or if your lucky, Mordheim. Try card games or vidya genres you never ever play.

I had this same issue not to long ago, so I read booms more than usual for about a month. Fixed my ass up

Hot Pursuit was and it was great

>>379181791
I'm chasing a possibility for the high, I feel like what >>379181231 says, I'm afraid I'd just quit in the middle and never experience something fully

>>379182574
I dump games I lose interest in, but that are pretty good, in a "too finish" category. I plan revisiting those games once I'm through my backlog.

>How do you deal with vidya burnout /v/?
This happened to me 5 years ago and the only games I've played since have been Brogue and occasionally KSP.

Still feels strange and alien, considering how much time I used to spend playing games.
Embrace it OP, it's weird.
