I know there are probably a lot of posts out there saying the same thing I am, about how gaming isn’t what it used to be, since publishers are now more focused on making money than keeping a solid player base andaking a solid game.

I have been playing games my whole life from casually to competitively, even going as far as commentating games for leagues and tournaments, so it really breaks my heart when I turn on my PC, and realize I have no drive to play anything.

I end up booting up a random game, but then get no enjoyment out of it. Even when I know I won’t be having that much fun, I still do it; maybe because I have nothing better to do, or maybe I hope that this time I’ll really enjoy playing.

I don’t know it’s just a little rant. I’m posting this just so I get other people’s thoughts on my situation and that of gaming as a whole. I really want to enjoy gaming as much as I used too, but it’s hard at the moment. Do you guys suggest I try a take a break, discover a new genre of gaming, even a new hobby, or something else entirely?

Thanks for listening have and have a good day!

    I play all types of games and games now just don’t scratch the itch they use to. I thought maybe the older games were better because of nostalgia and maybe I was tripping. However, then I decided to play Prince of Persia the two thrones for the first time and I was blown away with how ahead of its time it was, all I could think about was how I couldn’t wait to get home to play some more of it and when I beat it I was upset there was no more story or new platforming sections, no more stealth or bosses to fight, which is funny considering it’s a Ubisoft title and they been kinda shit lately. Idk, I just feel like back in the day the developers cared more because they knew videogames weren’t mainstream entertainment and they HAD to make a good game or else.
