Get off the internet.

You moved to the upper echelon gaming and realized that the industry still has nothing to offer.

Too many choices imo. I had this happen when I first got my pc.

you realized consoles are holding technology

PC gaming ends up saving you more money overall compared to all the locked content you are forced to pay for with consoles

But that's the problem. I can't think of a single game I wanna play other than the ones I already have. And now New Vegas is crashing like crazy. Wish I could play RDR.

>>380943658
Not it, either. I always turned on my PS4 as soon as I got home and jumped right in. Now I put on music, go on /v/ and constantly put off playing games, saying "ill do it in 15 minutes" over and over again until I eventually play. I've gone from 5-6 hours a day at minimum to maybe a couple.

Maybe I'm getting old? I'm only 22, though.

A couple hours a day isn't bad, most modern games are shit any way.

I don't have a PC, but I got all the consoles from past gen and current gen.
My guess is, you have many options.
You can't focus into something because you will always want to play the next thing, which in the case of PC, it's one click away.

No good games, or the dreaded getting older and losing interest in vidya

It sounds like a meme, but suddenly stopping playing games hits hard and is a very real thing, for me happened around age 30-31. I didn't stop playing entirely, FTL and EU4 still keep my interest, but its like 10% of what it used to be like

OP here

PC gaming is better than console gaming but PCfags lied about how good it was. It can be annoying as fuck. A month after getting my PC it just stopped working. Took it to the store and he said the RAM was defective. I had to pay fifty bucks to get a new one because RAM prices went up.

Because a PC feels like work and a console doesn't.

I've been using a PC for the last decade and and feel my interest slowly drain over the years. Then I got a PS4 and was shocked at how many hours I put in. I am honestly looking forward to the Xbox one X, even though I have 300+ steam game, I rarely play even a 1/20th of what I own, and the rest I can pick up on the cheap for the xbox.
>>
>>380943810
Stop going to /v/. I don't even look at 4chan on my PC, I use my phone for that. Also this place tries it's best to ruin most of the stuff you like
>>
>>380944831
I don't know why but I have to force myself to play sometimes. Like if I had the opportunity to play games at 1080/60 on ultra a year ago I'd be playing nonstop. Now even Witcher 3 at 4K doesn't feel appealing. Doesn't help that I haven't bought a single new release since I got my PC. Next game that really interest me is out in fucking February.

What's wrong with me?

>>380945052
Explore new genres. Same thing happened to me and I own an Xbone and PC. I tried Civ because why not. Now I can't stop playing strategy games in general
>>
>>380945052

If you have a controller, try this. Hook your PC up to a tv, sit on the couch with the controller, and play a game. See how much different it feels.

I already have. I've been playing the fuck out of New Vegas and was having a great time but it crashes too much now. I played Dead Space 1/2, Far Cry 2/3, Dying Light. Most of the older games I wanna play don't support W10, like San Andreas.

Or, try a console. Everybody will be fucked by the controller.
>>
>>380945785
What I'm saying is, try something different, if I recommend an RPG there's a possibility you might've already played it, or that it's too similar to the ones you've played, so there won't much enjoyment

Well Xbox 360s are notorious for being defective. They have a 54.2% failure rate. PS3s can be left running for weeks at a time with no issues.

This, I thought that being able to run all those AAA games at 60fps was going to make them more fun. I was wrong.

Having way more fun on stuff like tabletop simulator which runs on toasters so blew more money than necessary.
>>
>>380943108
Simple; you are overloaded on western games. While western games are objectively inferior to Japanese games, they are acceptable; in moderation. PC doesn't get Japanese games nearly as often as consoles do, so all that extra time is spent gorging on garbage western games. Whereas on GodStation, you have a healthy serving of Japanese games, with western games to tide you over for more Japanese games. On PC, however, not only do you get only a fraction of all Japanese games released, you often have to wait years for them, as is the case with anything Sega. PC bros have one quality exclusive though; it's when they take a generalized blanket statement a Jap pub says and go through intense mental gymnastics to mean that they will put their games on PC.

Japan rules this industry, and they do not care for PC.

My interest is fading as well since most new games suck dick, but I started to play Dishonored 2 yesterday and it's fucking awesome.

I can't even think of another modern game with good level design besides Dishonored 2. It's shockingly good.

Witcher is crap, Dishonored 1 is crap, Nier Automata is super duper crap... Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Prey, etc. all complete shit, but Dishonored 2 is actually good.
