>Vidya doesn't give me the same rush it used to
>That spark of wonder and awe that I used to have from new games is completely extinguished

>TFW this might be part of growing up

Anyone else relate to this?

>>386720819
In the same exact spot friend, still looking for the answers on how to get that special wonder back
>>
>>386720819
No, because I play good games instead of choosing shitty ones and then coming here to bitch about it.
It's not part of growing up, just play better games.
>>
no but then again im not a depressed shut in loser

>>386720916
You'll have the urge to play again.

Just don't be a dumbass and sell all your stuff only to rebuy it again in 8 months when you decide you aren't as "adult" as you thought you were.
>>
That's when you find a new hobby to find that rush. I found it with a DJ track pad. You'll find your thing, video games will always be an old hobby though
>>
it's called being a depressed neet who does nothing but vidya. Go for a run and make it a routine at least 4x a week. Take some vitamin D supplements.

but yes you're also getting older. I haven't been able to invest myself in a game since 2015, vidya just feels like a waste of time now. Marijuana definitely helps
>>
Finding a community for a game I enjoy really sparked my interest again. Lately I've been playing through the Fire Emblem series while hanging out in the /vg/ thread and it's been a lot of fun.

Sometimes it also helps playing something that is just easy to get into. My latest favorite is Death Road to Canada.

In all honesty I think it's less related to growing up and more related to it being a hobby. Everyone gets tired of their hobby once in awhile, even people who are at world record level at whatever they are doing. Find something else to do for awhile. Playing video games isn't a job. If you don't play for fun, what's the point?
>>
You gotta play non-derivative trash OP

The spark and awe of vidya comes from new experiences and creative/varied gameplay.

AAA games are largely the same fucking shit with minor differences. The industry has these standards they conform to that make the games all blend together because theyre designed to be marketed and manipulative.

Uninstall everything but one. It's hard but its like reading 1 book at a time instead of 5 simultaneously

You're just a fag and thinking about it too hard
Sometimes you feel like doing some shit and sometimes you feel like doing other shit and sometimes you don't feel like doing anything at all
Every once in a while I stop caring about games and just browse this shit site all day and jerk off, other times I really get into reading and do nothing else but read on my free time, then I might get sick of it and not touch a book for 6 months but instead spend all my time immersing myself in weeb shit and then I might get into playing a bunch of vidya again next, interests come and go
>>
>>386720819
play bloodborne or breath of the wild if you want to be cured
>>
>>386720819

I wouldnt use the words "spark of wonder" or "rush" but I just enjoy vidya in a different way now.

Tell me anon. What games have you played exactly? Have you really played everything of worth out there?
If not, I'm sure there's something out there you'll enjoy. Something that'll give you that spark. You just haven't found it yet.

Get into hallucinogens. No, seriously.

For a beginner id recommend 2c-b or metocin (legal) and games like ABZÜ. Then when youve gotten comfortable with the psychedelia get yourself some LSD or 1P-LSD/AL-LAD (legal) and replay some games youre nostalgic for. Nothing can revive your childlike sense of wonder like acid does, nothing. Keep the dose low to medium and youre gonna be amazed by every leaf on every tree, every detail on every item.

Do your research ofcourse, dont be a irresponsible hippy:

>Turn on game

I don't know what to do. I do plenty of other stuff throughout the day, but whenever I want to play a game I lose the drive to play it once I turn it on.

Now that I have a job, I'm working on catching up on all the incredible games that I missed out on the first time around as well as enjoying the great new games that have been coming.
Not to mention having certain games which I can keep on coming back to and improving my skills in for higher scores and better ranks.
I love video games, you're just a faggot.

I got into fighting games recently. I played Smash and shit growing up but I never actually put any time into fighting games. Recently got USF2 for the Switch and have been having a blast with it. Getting down combos and winning a fight online is pretty fun. It's something other genres can't really give you. Guess it releases some sort of chemical in my brain that my usual type of games can't. Plus the old neogeo fighters are pretty fun. Samurai Shodown is good.

try something different that's engaging & requires a lot of attention. an older, but great RTS like Company of Heroes has a learning curve that feels rewarding once you nail the controls down, yet is still approachable with an extensive tutorial & plenty of content.
