Why isn’t this fricking fun anymore? I got a PS5 and I was so excited because i thought I would play it all the time. Turns out I can’t play video games for more than 1 hour a day. I don’t know what the frick is the problem. It’s not me. It’s not that I’m depressed, hell I’m happiest I’ve been in recent history. Anyone else experiencing this?

post your penis
stop playing shitty games like control lol
To tell you the truth I started playing Control because I thought it would somehow mimic Silent Hill
I started working recently and for the first time in my life I actually like my job.
I don’t get this hate. What are you playing?
If you think Control may be a "good" game your taste in vidya is probably already beyond saving, Ganker recommended wiki could be a good way out from your misery.
Ganker plays awful weebshit games like tales and persona while shitting on elden ring. if anything, you should do the opposite of what Ganker says.
>What are you playing?
Nothing
There are no games since 2019
But i play rocket legue on the snitch when i lie in bed or on the shitter
While thinking
Wtf is wrong with Control. I enjoyed it. Never finished it, but it wasn't a bad game at all. Maybe a little repetitive but all modern single player games are these days.
a lot of wasted potential. felt like the devs put more work into everything but the gameplay really.
a technical demo made into a video game
to me it felt like a waste of a really interesting premise. Theres a tiny handful of non-euclidean wacko stuff but overall its pretty generic for its premise and the whole wrap around story feels kinda weak and nonsensical. its like a bunch of potentially interesting elements floating in space miles apart with no good connecting tissue.
And they wait way too long to give you the ability to fly, which is the only thing that slightly elevates the gameplay from generic tps.
Nothing, I loved it. Anons here usually don't though
>Wtf is wrong with Control
>Never finished it
take a break from vidya OP also sell your PS5 because it has frick all worth while on it right now unless you wanna replay your PS4 stuff on it
do you actually want to play control?
when you're fulfilled and satisfied in life you dont need to play with children's toys anymore
also when you're unfulfilled and miserable
Either find games you'll enjoy more, or focus on doing something productive before gaming.
Sometimes I feel bad when gaming because I know I could be working on something else instead of wasting time.
>buys a PS5
>wonders why he isn't having fun anymore
That's a terrible game
Control isn't the worst game but it is pretty goddamn mediocre. Try a game with some depth more than run around and shoot. I'd suggest Death Stranding, looks real good on PS5 and has some open world and problem solving. Just don't take the story too seriously, it'd Kojima nonsense but it can be fun if you can laugh at the cringe moments.
>It’s not me
Suuure.
It's not him it's the game
>PLAYstation
>is watching movies
huh
Play Ghost of Tsushima
These. MH World and GoT run great on PS5.
>I got a PS5
Play Fromsoft games or monster hunter or even indie games. everything else is nu shit
>It’s not that I’m depressed, hell I’m happiest I’ve been in recent history.
That's why.
smoke weed to get that childhood fun you got when playing when you were younger
Yeah. Not a stoner, but like to smoke once in like 2-3 months and watch early 2000s comedies. Never tried playing vidya though.
because most modern games are shit. Just play some good indie games or old stuff like stalker.
I still play 2-4 hours every evening.
> sralker
eat shit b***h
video games become a chore after you hit 25. I only can play for a bit before I get bored
I'm 33, have wife and kids and still playing.
see
unless I find a really good game that im hooked to, I rarely play games everyday
thats why you should play indie games or old stuff
>It’s not me
Its definitely you. Try having more than one hobby.
>tiny little shitty 20" tv
>buys a PS5, probably scalped
poor people are fricking hilarious
Video games are made by trannies for trannies nowadays. Only way to enjoy games is to find an autistic niche
Yep it's this. Games today suck ass. Just play older games and you'll feel the same fun excitement you had playing classic games during your youth. I'm 35 and playing old games I missed for the first time recently gives me the exact same feelings as other classics when I was a kid. Most recent example is Super Metroid. I never had an SNES and missed the entire library, and never cared for the series. Well holy shit this game pulled me in and wouldn't let go until I completed it. What a masterpiece.
there's still great games made today with the same retro feeling, master blaster trilogy was great.
It's either tranime or troony games, pick your poison
hitman transcends the trannies. nobody talks about it though.
have a nice day tourist
hmm... after careful consideration I think I know the answer to your problem op...
the reason you are having trouble playing games on your PS5 is...
THAT THE PS5 HAS nogaems!
It's because you're happy. You don't need the escapism. You've probably grown up. Filling your free time with video games isn't what you truly enjoy anymore.
Bless Nintendo for releasing actually good games
No games since 2019 nintendog shill
Not even a direct
That game actually sucks ass for one, and is only shilled by trannies
the games are just shit bro
I also find myself thinking "is this about me? Am I just burnt out from playing?"
but then I find that one game that turns out to be good and I play it for 10 hours straight and realize its just that modern games are dogshit
yes, it's called being an adult
you will never recover
holy shit that TV has complete garbage color rendering
how is it even legal to sell shit like that
It's because you're old now.
control is one of the most average and totally just okay games this gen. it does everything competently but nothing well or outstanding. the movement and abilities are fine albeit really underwhelming, the story is boring, the protag is alright, and the shooting is acceptable but never becomes anything but that. its a good like $10 game but a sequel seriously needs to improve on a lot of stuff.
I can't count how many people I know that own consoles but don't play video games. My cousin bought a PS5 for like $800 and probably played it for the first day he owned it.
But don't feel weird about not playing vidya. If you have better things to do, then go for it.
I pretty much buy one single player game a year at this point and play it for 50 hours or something. Then I just play multiplayer games with friends, more socializing than an actually caring about the game.
Your typical AAA game is complete trash these days so that doesn't help.
you got a PS5 and is playing a uber shit game bro. that's the main problem.
search for fun games and maybe you'll play more.
Cuz games have too much politics now a days.
I felt the same for a while. Took a break and bought terraria a few weeks ago. I've realized I dont much care for 3d games anymore. Grew up on 2d and I suppose that's where I'm comfy so frick it.
In all honesty I just hope a new Silent Hill game comes out.
Why aren't you black?
That's called growing up.
Also, having you dopamine receptors fried by social medias making it so even video game do not provide a fast enough gratification
Control is sovlless game. Play FFVII remake or demon souls unironiclly
>FFVII remake or demon souls unironiclly
Soulless remake and soulstealing troony remake
More SOVLful than control and overrall decent. cope. Both better than elden cuck
Decent isn't good enough.
try getting a system that has games next time
Old meme. It will get games eventually.
PS6 will be out by then
no games
You're a consoomer moron. Why choose Control of all thing?
Develop some tastes.
Just don't play shitty games. Stop playing western shit altogether.
>Stop playing western shit altogether.
Unless you're playing imported Japanese games in their original language, you are playing western garbage because the "localizers" re-write them and change everything.
Get back into small Indy games there’s so many little fun cheap games and you never need to upgrade again to play them anything can
>Not black hands
Now do take another picture that's NOT at your cousin's house
You don’t get it. I’m whit, but am a Serb. You know? We are blacks of Europe.
I had the same problem OP. then I bought a hacked wii that has thousands of games on it and I've been having a blast playing my old favorites from ages past. I really think the industry just sucks now. go replay some games from a decade ago and you'll get your love of vidya back.
Oh and by the way Control just fricking crashed on me. What the frick. I think I'm done for tonight.
It's a shit game mate.
Ganes today are unironically incapable of capturing the attention of boomers. They are not made for you.
The games you grew up playing were all mostly complete packages with a few cutscenes and gameplay that challenged you. They only held your hand so far and mostly made you figure out the controls and just let you play on your own. They had a clear sense of progression that challenged you to improve. You got to the end of the game because you became good at playing it. This is why boomers love games like Dark Souls, because they're pretty much the old style of games.
Games today are either full of cutscenes to appeal to the Netflix audience, and the gameplay is easy, flashy, and holds your hand so that you can easily move to the next cutscene. These games are largely incomplete so that you can buy the next movie ticket DLC so you can post pics about how much fun you're having watching the games on r/Gaming.
Or, games are filled with mechanics that are designed to deliver dopamine hits to children with constant item upgrades and the ability to "own" your opponents with microtransactions.
This generation is just not for you.
You don't have to be a boomer to realize modern gaming is a fricking joke
I unironically went back and started playing games that came out before I was born
Unfortunately you kids aren't the target audience either. You developed an enthusiasm for the hobby and realized you don't fit in with the rest of your generation. It's very similar to what happens to people of newer generation that become enthusiasts of any other form of entertainment; books, movies, music. Example being, the vast majority of movies today make a ton of money, but if you give a shit about movies and consider them an actual hobby, you aren't watching them. You're watching repeats of classics from well before your generation. You, like those people, realize everything is just becoming shittier and shittier, and you can prove it with examples, because you're educated in the matter.
The demographic is all the other kids you grew up with and the ones that came after you.
>This generation is just not for you.
I am a zoomer and this generation isn't for me either, Modern gaming is garbage so much that i bought a pc solely to play old games that i missed out or want to replay.
You get what you fricking deserve you movie "playing" AAA enjoying Black person snoy.
It's not a problem for me who plays good games and I'm 32yo.
Die.
>Buys PS5
>Thinks it will be fun
You answered your own question immediately after you asked it.
OP, my advice is the best indie games, and Nintendo games.
Some modern games are formulaic and not as fun
This is what you get for playing movies instead of games
I have more fun with smaller games and Nintendo shit than AAA these days. Anything I can just jump in the fun with. It's not just you.
Play games that you had fun playing before.
Throw your TV in the garbage
Maybe you're not playing good games that you enjoy. You should know your own taste better than anyone else.
Maybe try playing actual GAMES instead? get a Switch or emulate on PC if you want, fun games are fun.
Ritalin or Adderall
Control is the epitome of hiring a female actress as the lead like its some power move that's actually going to make anyone want to play the game. Forspoken, Star Wars, etc.
Isn't that like 60% of AAA these days? I am kinda intrigued by the vampire town thing they showed at the "e3"
Me too. Modern games are shit. Try playing old games that are full of SOVL (it is actually not a meme) and see if the same thing happens. If it does then you're the problem and it's time to sell your PS5 probably.
I've been having a lot of fun with FFVII on my vita but dropped ghost of tsushima aka shopping list simulator
I've kind of got decision paralysis as a result of concerns around value proposition and the fact that video games are too fricking long now. It used to be it didn't matter if you picked Mega Man 2 or Contra because chances are even if you didn't just run out of lives you could finish both in a few hours max. Now when I start a game, I feel like I'm signing up to undertake an Odyssey. So I end up picking nothing. I miss being able to just say "I'm gonna play this for the morning and then I'm gonna get on with the rest of my day."
I have a 3080 and i just finished marathoning Wizardry 6-8, Modern gaming is an absolute joke. It boggles my mind how a 30 year old game can be more immersive and challenging then even the hardest games of today. I wasted 1200 dollars on this card as well.
On the bright side, that'll last you for a long ass time.
New games are shit.
Get yourself a modded ps2/gamecube and a CRT. Or set up a cheap mini PC with retroarch.
>It’s not me.
It's you
>It’s not that I’m depressed,
You are
Both things can be true.
Shit gaming depresses me.
Anon, maybe video games aren't for you anymore.
Sounds like you just have other things you're rather do right now. Nothing wrong with that.
You are moronic
You knew PS5 has no games
you said you were happy, that's why.
happy people don't play video game all day
Modern games are shit. I'm not getting a PS5 until FF7 remake part 2 comes out and it will probably be the only ps5 game I get until part 3
I know the feel OP, i realized I really like games that ended up challenging me like Souls and fighting games, it was a breath of fresh air, for a bit it was the only games i could enjoy, then i played DMC 3 again before DMC, kena, DD for the 7th time, Fatal Frame, and baba is you, all very different from each other and from souls.
what I'm saying is you probably need a break or something that clicks for you and stick with it.
Could be something shitty like Valorant but hey we all gotta get our hands dirty every now and then to get through it.
Because you’re an adult, go out and get laid like a normal guy homosexual
You also bought a Black folktation which has no games
Bros i haven't enjoyed vidya for years now. How do i gain my interest back, it used to be my passion/hobby.
WTF
>Control
There's your problem
It's not just video games. Everything started getting fricking lame a while back. Vidya is just another medium being affected
