mcj metroid Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) really good page actually very useful.. am im going to go with. gamecube: metroid prime 1 Now you knew this was coming. I'm not sure why you haven't finished both but I can understsnd your reasons for part 2 but no game gives you greater satisfaction among completion than metroid prime. Makes you feel great completing a game that everyone considers very hard. by the way did you actually fully beat f-zero gx or is that a lie :P?

Jon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I didn't have time to play games for years. Due to certain things changing, I now have the time to and haven't stopped playing my PS3 since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not a single lie on there I did genuinely complete f-zero gx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I dunno because am loving Borderlands and yet can't be arsed to play through it. I flat out stopped playing Borderlands for about 3 weeks. Same with Uncharted 2 actually. If you aren't in the mood to play, don't try and force it. It's not like these games are going anywhere. Even now I'm not in the mood. Finished the God of War Collection yesterday, which is epic btw, still got The Saboteur on rental and Dragon Age to get through but I'm not in the mood - The Saboteur will go back and DA will stay unplayed until I can be arsed.

EEVILMURRAY Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I sometimes feel what you're saying. Even though I have a new game I can't stop playing lil things like Minesweeper or Internet Checkers [and winning] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I tend to feel bored of all games when I have too big a choice of games to play (backlog it is!). I spent a period back around 2005/06 when I stopped playing/caring, and even now I probably only spend about 3 hours a week gaming -- unless I find a game I can fully immerse myself into... The problem for me has kinda been with achievements -- when I have a selection of games I find my choice is steered by which game will get me the most points quickest? rather than purely enjoyment factor. However, I started playing Arkham Asylum last night, and the sheer enjoyment/story side of things makes me Not Give A Shit about the achievements because I enjoy the game enough. Take a break, read a book. Best advice I can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 If you're not getting into the games, then the cure isn't to find more games to play. Unless you're just tired of those games, rather than the entirety of gaming. If you're not turned on, don't have sex. Same thing applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There was a while when I wasn't playing as many games as I had been before. Then I got a PS3. Although, I think my problem might have been not having any new games to play at the time, as I only had a Wii at that point, and it was in the middle of the Wii game drought.

Karl619 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Dragon Age Origins is a game I'm finding hard to get bored of....have you tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 lol know what you mean. Everyone's gaming habits change as they grow older. I started out pretty hardcore. Subscribed to game mags, bought all the highly rated titles ("Awesome award"...good old NOM days) and always spent whatever money I had on games. Nowadays things are different. University takes up alot of my time. Exams in less than a week for instance. On going assignments and group work. Not enjoyable but has to be done. Started to go out more, clubbing, chilling, cinema, shisha etc. Now, I'm just content with games of FIFA with the flatmates and some multiplayer COD of course. I gotta say though, that my younger cousin keeps me up to date with titles I woulda bought if I was younger (and richer!). Thanks to him I borrow the likes of Fable 2/Batman Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed which I'm enjoying now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I randomly played Rollercoaster Tycoon last night after stumbling across the disc whilst looking for something else. One defining thing about this game is the sound effects. I get this immense feeling of joy and pleasure when you have a rollercoaster and you hear the rumble of the rollercoaster carts and the screams of the people on them. Unfortunately I somehow failed the first yearly goals by not having a rating of 600 for my pack had 597 and hadn't saved once so I quit pissed off!

nightwolf Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Its amazing, I've been yearning to get my mits on theme hospital, a game that plagued my childhood. But I love it too much, can't find it for cheap though. Everytime I check game its there but not in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 But you owned it at one point, the developer has gone and the money will just be going towards EA (who fucked that dev. over). Or... you know, buy it and go to Heaven and stuff. People are going to think I pirate my games now aren't they? I have Steam! I buy! Don't shoot!

Jimbob Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I still play games, but not as often as i used to. I can't explain why i don't play as often as i did. It must be something to do with my age now and managing to find something else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizz Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Its amazing, I've been yearning to get my mits on theme hospital, a game that plagued my childhood. But I love it too much, can't find it for cheap though. Everytime I check game its there but not in stock. That game is in just about every shop in town that sells even just a few games. Maplins for example. Never played it though, I want the original Theme Park, which I could probably appreciate properly now i'm older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I feel the same...I guess that's just growing up. I don't warm to new games these days like I did to ones in the past, and I find myself only getting a lot of enjoyment from old games that I used to love when I was younger. For instance, I've gone through stints of playing Ragnarok Online and Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst - if I'd never played these games before I've no doubt I'd enjoy them in this day and age. You can really only repeat the same sorts of themes and gameplay so many times until it just doesn't have much effect anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I disagree with that. Gaming is a rapidly moving and evolving medium. If you're finding yourself bored with gaming because it's "samey" then you're not being diverse in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're finding yourself bored with gaming because it's "samey" then you're not being diverse in your search. Newer games still all heavily rely on old mechanics so you're bound to get a little bored. There's only so many times you can race a car/pick up a handgun etc. Sure gaming is evolving, but it'll probably never have the same effect on someone compared to when they first started gaming.

Wesley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I still think you can though. Maybe if you're just checking out titles in stores for the major platforms, but if you own an iPhone, check indie scenes, etc. then there's always new things.
