What game?
literally any, they're all fricking bad
i haven't played a good videogame in ages
Nowadays I unironically get filtered at the initial cutscene/tutorial.
this is very relatable because this is true, recently i refunded like 5 games in one day because i just couldn't finish the first mission/tutorial because of getting bored in the first 10 minutes
You don't like videogames. Find something you enjoy doing.
I'm being filtered at this step, I just want to touch girl's boobs and don't enjoy anything because I can't.
seriously, like what are you even doing? If I was bored by everything fishing related I wouldn't keep going out to the lake.
i guess i just wanna mindlessly waste some time when i have some like i used to do in my teens but it just doesn't click anymore but my brain is so used to playing videogames all the time so i can't just cope and throw out my pc or whatever, i'm a hack and i can't draw or produce music so what else am i supposed to do if not trying to cure my videogame dysfunction by trying the new games
lol

find some friends on /trash/ and try gooning
>Plays videogames on PC
>Wonders why he finds no enjoyment in sitting a fixed position with improper lighting
Do what millions have done already and return to consoles. It feels more natural and feels better when you can play games the same day of release.
>when you can play games the same day of release.
Besides rockstar and sony pretty much everything is PC day 1
>yeah goy, buy a locked down piece of shit console with a limited number of 70 dollar games u probably won't enjoy, it'll save ur gaming spirit
I'm just playing old PS2 games on my deck but can only play for about an hour or two before switching it off, I haven't played a game on my pc for month
i'm absolutely not a console player and the only console i ever had was a psp from over 10 years ago so the only old videogame nostalgia i have is the first two fallout games and the worms titles
maybe some grindfest online service slop could help me stay engaged for more than a few hours, i wanna try some seasonal arpg but diablo 4 is fricking terrible and there's literally no other big arpg titles besides diablo
path of exile is worth a few hours at the least. i wouldnt bother getting into end game autism
it's not the games, it's you.
modern (2011-202X) games are objectively fricking terrible though
Try
Splinter cell chaos theory
MegamanZ 3
Kingdom come
Disco Elysium
Armoredcore 6
Chivalry 2
Any old game or try new genre
IKTF bro

Why are there anime chicks in the reflection of his eyes?
OP, start playing a grindy addicting mmorpg treadmill game, sounds like you gotta pick up the needle.
Just emulate older games. 99% of new shit is pozzed garbage.
works on my machine™
so how did you post?
>turn on the pc
>launch Ganker
>complain about how video games are boring
>delete my steam account
>stay on Ganker forever
What's the point of pretending I like video games just to post on Ganker?
>launch game
>impulsively alt+tab to Ganker
>spend all day arguing with autists over stupid shit that doesn't matter instead of playing the vidya
>launch a game

>die
>close the game
>go do some other stuff with the music on
>play a new critically acclaimed game
>it's pretty good
>turn it off
>install a mediocre 20 years old game that I enjoyed as a kid
>play that instead
>have more fun
it's Joever...
>buy a new game that looks cool
>play it for 30 minutes

>close it promising myself to play it again sometime later
>never launch it again
Me with Elden Ring.
>wow this is fantastic and adventurous I had a blast for 6 hours straight can't wait to play it again tomorrow
Tomorrow never came.
You should overpower yourself and just fricking boot the game up. Do it, right now.
Buy a motorcycle and go ride around and see new places and people.
>he turns off his PC
i genuinely do, nowadays my pc spends more time off than on and i'm in my mid 20's
That's a good thing bro. Most of your time should be taken up with your responsibilities and other hobbies. Nothing wrong with playing some vidya now and then, but it shouldn't be your only hobby.
Not even the Ukraine war is interesting anymore
PC gamers are posers. they spend all of this money on a rig they use for browsing Ganker, opening steam and closing it, and in the rare occasion they actually launch a game, they mess around with graphic options for 2hrs and download mods then close the game again. pathetic
>buy game
>don't play game
>when i do play game, i get bored or worried about other life stuff
being an adult is hard anon. it gets harder to enjoy vidya as you grow older when you realize the target audience is teenagers and kids.
tried playing halo 3 for the first time and i felt the same. alan wake 2 sucked the energy out of me back in november. i think i dont have passion for video games anymore.
I'm going through the same thing you are atm... for a few months... try replaying an old game you havent in years and if you dont like that then you'll need to take a break from vidya.. I spent the better half of last night trying to get star wars pod racer to work on windows 10 and when i did I played it till 4am.... tl;dr go play games you know you've enjoyed in the past that you haven't played for in ages
>pirate new game
>play for hours learning about the gameplay and story
>don't launch in on second day
>rinse and repeat
I didn't finish a game in 10 years.
The most fun i had playing vidya in my life was replaying Dungeon Siege 2's demo over and over as a kid. It was the only other game i had with age of mythology being the other one.
>download a game i'm good at
>do the same thing i always do and get high level very quickly
>keep engaged for a few hours of the early game but then get bored in the late game grind
>drop the game
this it too real
>turn on PC
>launch game
>play for 12 hours straight having the time of my life
>turn off pc
>remember that i am a dropout neet who will soon be starving
>dont enjoy most games and just turn them off
>buy monster hunter world on a whim
>havent put it down
is society.... le healing?
You need to get other areas of your life in order. Good luck.
>still playing games in 2024
If you turned off your pc how the frick are posting this dumbass OP, butthole?
I have some modern games on my pc but i found myself playing digimon world 4 and buffy chaos reins on PS2 instead
>turn on pc
>play starcraft
>rage like a normal person
>turn streamer channel, lift
>i smile
>Stormtrash has launched but it`s nice
>AoM soon
>Watch vtuber and smile
5 hours, fun life
the binding of isaac and replaying the dark souls series are the only games i play
i have like 5 good roguelikes or roguelites or whatever you nerds them call that i actually like but i just can't fricking play them for more than a few runs, i usually get like one very good close to 100% run and then i just "yeah there's no way i'm repeating that, that's too much effort" and turn them off
usually when i after win a good roguelike run, i quit so i'm not disappointed and end off on a high note
Get into level design instead
i want to get into modeling because i like futuristic guns and stuff but why should i even do that, i know it's a "hobby" and stuff but there's no way i'm selling them or there's no way any of those will work their way into some actual game so literally what's the point, to just model something, save it and put it in some folder i'll never open again or to post it online for other people to look at and potentially steal
If your concern is making money then you should be focused on a career.
Or you can do it for fun and eventually build up to joining a large mod project and then use that as a portfolio to get a job doing level design.
I should say *game design, including modeling.
I have been playing exoprimal and i can only get thru 2 games before im bored and the constant rathalos boss fights are boring
I literally can't get into any game these days.
Actually, I can't seem to enjoy anything. lol
same
why is this so common?
i guess people just peak at about 22-23 years of age and after that it's nothing but slow or rapid decline, depending on your health and personality and environment
but im 21
Too young to be jaded, stop being a little b***h and enjoy the limited time before you turn into a sour raisin at 30.
but i have no friends and all my attempts at socializing fail
no
try going outside
And stop using your phone as much, it changed my perspective in life.
i do go outside, that's where all my classes are, i just dont seem to be able to make friends for some reason
i average 30 min a day on my phone according to steve jobs telemetry, and that's pretty much just when im shitting or putting on/changing music at the gym
You are more of a normalgay then the entirety of this website, if you actually do all of the above, homie, just go out and join a club or study group, lmao. Plenty of places to socialize. You just like being depressed.
i do go to a club but it just passes the same as class does pretty much, groups of friends within the club talk to teach other and occasionally the assembled body at large
i dont really know what to do to make friends with any of the people
also i cant join a study group because i dont know anyone in my classes
i'm not the guy who's depressed and i don't wanna socialise i just wanna play videogames again but my brain just won't let me, what do i do
Jerk off, and take stims. or coffee, you need the dopamine.
i drink so much coffee it's like water to me at this point, i don't wanna do drugs and even if i tried doing drugs i doubt they would awoke the urge to play the videogames in me i'd just lay around and do nothing for a few hours probably
Hello me, okay, in seriousness. to combat the video game fatigue, you need to be fatigued in some other hobby or work, in my case, i have a shitty office job that i hate and mentally check out too when i leave, I use that as fuel to play as many games as i can.
i think going outside actually killed the gaming spirit in me, i used to be a shutin in my teens and i used to play videogames a lot back then but when got older i was going outside more often and now i'm where i'm at, i'd actually prefer to have a small stride to the nearest coffee shop and to sit there for like 20 minutes than to spend those 20 minutes in a videogame
did you get vaxxed?
honestly i had my peak at the age of 16, yeah now i have money and some basic independency but i just feel worse and worse with each year and not just physically or mentally but about the whole world and the whole concept of life and things too
same, all things considered i would have rather not been born
ecclesiastes 4:2-3
I don't have friends to share the experience with
I think I might just feel lonely
Get off screens for a month and start meditating. Visit the library and pick out some good books. It's boring at first since you won't be constantly flooding your stupid brain with excessive dopamine but you'll be thanking yourself by next month.
I couldn't imagine the lack of sentience required to repeat this ritual everyday without the slightest bit of introspection.
i actually do that almost every day after the work or on the weekends, i have like 10 hours of playtime in two weeks on steam even though i launch the videogames daily
Biden will absolutely destroy Trump.
Biden is a brain dead nursing home patient. I doubt it.

>they aren’t even good games (50 hours in starfield, 120 in aew fight forever)
So glad i never became a pc cuck. These posts always happen and they try to deny. And yes i do work and no im not that tired after
why are console homies so fricking zesty all the time, i can buy an og ps/xbox controller and plug it in and here i have a console now, what's the fricking difference at once
>proud master race
>speaks in Black person lingo
How much time do you spend on discord in a week?
them homies really be zesty though
literally what is there to do outside of playing videogames, developing videogames, watching youtube, browsing social media or doing blue collar work
You aren't black, you speak like a moron because discord is rubbing off on you
yeah i'm a israeli lesbian trans woman of colour who rapes susceptible white kids all day on the internet, do you have a problem with that white boy
>this post is extremely low quality
99% of the posts on this website are of extremely low quality, what's your point
>keeps replying
shouldn't you be fighting some race wars on xitter right about now
everything that's in my backlog is extremely boring and i know i won't be playing any of that for too long, i know i should start forcing myself to spend at least like 5 hours on any given game but i guess i'm just too weak willed, i can't not turn off a boring (any) game after 20 minutes of playtime
>pls stop bullying me
no
>replied this fast
oh my lil homie just take your L already and be done with it
i can see that happening to me too, i always wanted to try out dishonored but the fact that it's a mission-based singleplayer game always puts me off, i just know i will never ever 100% this game so why bother
The L and W thing went out of fashion two years ago
>zesty
You need to be over 18 to be here. Please leave.
>aew and starfield
thanks for calling yourself out as a Black person.
>work out
>sleep better
>eat better
>get a gf who does the cooking and housework for you
There, your life is now a lot better, it's that simple, you'll enjoy vidya again
But above all just get better taste in games, quit playing live-service shit where all you do is watch a progress bar to unlock fart noises and particle effects, NEETs love those because for all the bullshit that they talk they still have the need to get something done and those games fool them into feeling accomplished
Do away with any multiplayer altogether in fact
i do all of that (except for a girlfriend obviously) and i don't really have anything that currently bothers me in my life on the surface level, in fact the only games i could enjoy recently were the only games since there's this like a group of friends feeling to them even though i rarely talk to people but still online games are like 10 times more fun when all the people running around doing stuff
i'm fine with my job and it doesn't really get me too fatigued but i'm obviously very tired after an extensive working day so i just want to fast forward to the weekends as fast as possible and when i finally reach the weekends the same "oh it's so fricking boring" thing gets to me and i can't do anything about it
i mean online games
SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS
>turn on PC
>Disable antivirus
>Get flooded with viruses
i never had any viruses once i stopped being a broke teen and stopped pirating games like 7 years ago
do people really only use pc for gaming? are all of you here phoneposters?
never understood pc vs console on the first place
Maybe it's time for you to transcend from video game gaming.
Have you tried video game developing?
This happened to me with Infinite Wealth
>replay entire franchise from Y0 to Gaiden
>replay Gaiden twice back to back because I love it so much
>Buy the $100 edition of IW
>play for like 3 hours and go back to playing Yakuza 1 Kiwami and Ishin
newbie thread to indoctrinate more youth into being homosexual doomers. keep these threads up please. more loosh for the archons is hilarious. more youth getting indoctrinated and addicted to this site is a good thing to me.
>he still didn't listed all of his backlog games and started playing them one by one
>he doesn't force himself through the shit tutorials to get to the good parts already
We're not in the golden age anymore, we have to deal with some bullshit to actually enjoy videogames, but it's possible. Recently played through Far Cry 6 for the first time, the first two hours are awful but after that the game picks up and it's fun if you ignore the story, jesus christ what a shit story.
skill issue
I just did this with Dishonored last night. Never played it before, did two missions, wasn't feelin it and uninstalled. Maybe I would have stuck with it if I'd tried it way back when it launched but now I'm not willing to stick with shit that doesn't click in some way early.
Nothing wrong with you, Dishonored is indeed soulless goyslop of its time
I'm replaying Dying Light The Following and it's fantastic. I played it before on the Xbone years ago but this time it's on PC and I'm really getting into it.
How is the main game? I was gifted it years ago but never played it. I play a lot of spooky games so I'm hard to spook but I love horror, is it scary or more actiony like Dead Rising?
You can avoid nighttime which is the only time it's scary. You cripple your level progression though because you miss out on the double xp you gain at night. A big part of it is until end game when you can fight them there are special tanky runner infected that are only out at night. They chhase you if you're spotted along with slow infected that will evolve into runners randomly. You essentially get an action game during day and horror at night with the horror element being the anxiety of doing quests or leveling your skills when at any point during the night you'll have to drop everything and run. I found the story and characters pretty good considering.
Joe Biden is literally genociding muslims and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of slavic people
Stop anon, I don't want to like anything about Biden.
>muslims
>slavic people
you mean they slaughter themselves on their own for the 150th time while america does literally nothing?
>america
>does literally nothin
Yes anon, let's ignore how America keeps bombing their countries which causes more refugees to come our countries
Totally did nothing
Of frick anon, you didn't need to post the same thing twice. We get it. America bad.
>keeps bombing their countries
literally what, or do you mean that israel and ukraine are now officially the 52nd state
>america
>does literally nothing
Yes anon, let's ignore how America keeps bombing their countries which causes more refugees to come our countries
Totally did nothing
Some of you anons may actually have a disorder where you feel depressed due to chemical/hormone imbalances and may unironically need to see a doctor.
You could've just said "eat your vegetables"
>Get at least 8 hours of sleep every single night
>Drink plenty of water throughout the day
>Get at least 20 minutes of being outside in general
>Move at least one mile, be it actually walking outside or on a treadmill
I forgot who I quoted from this but it seems like decent advice. You don't even have to try to be Ganker just do the bare minimum for maintenance.
Be honest, this board is made up of those who have grown out of games and can't enjoy them, but cling to the past by discussing said thing in hopes it'll come back.
polbrainrot does that to you, enjoy
>turn on pc
>launch game

i love looking at pictures of joe with my Ganker bros
Biden bros eating good tonight
Spice things up a little, I stoped playing and working on the same place and now I like vidya again.
start doing drugs
