Poll of the Day > I get burned out from playing games very quickly.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not sure if I play a particular set of video games too much in a short period of time, but I end up getting burned out quickly.

I'm already thinking about rushing through MGSV because I am burned out from playing it (it can be a very repetitive game) and want to beat it so I can delete it off my SSD and play something else.

I have a very small SSD so I can't just keep a bunch of games on it. I'm considering removing a few multiplayer games I have that I'm not good at (like PUBG).

But I'm not burned out from playing video games in general though. There are still so many games I want to play.

Anyone else experience something like this?

I feel kinda the same. Nowadays I can usually only play any game for up to 1 or 2 hours at a time before getting tired or slightly bored.
As a kid/teen I could play the whole damn day if I'd liked to.

I feel so old : (

Only kinda. If a game is repetitive then yeah, I can get bored of it. But if a game is repetitive but has a good story, I can play it for quite a lot longer.

I've been having trouble starting or continuing a game, even with games I like. The past couple weeks my PS4 has mainly been used for watching DVD's, or short-burst games like Tennis in the Face.

It's be much easier if i had a comfortable chair, i just sit on a computer chair in front of my tv about 4 feet from it cause my eyes ain't that good and the tiny text they have nowadays makes it hard.

Yeah. Then I end up not finishing because I move on to something else. So I have to force myself to only play one game at a time.

Sometimes. Only certain games, though...

if your not enjoying a game, delete it/sell it. I deleted COD Infinite Warfare cause I'm not a fan of COD and I wanted to try out Bloodborne when it was free. COD Infinite Warfare came with the console.

I have an 144 Hr play through of Digimon Cyber sleuth. i bought Hackers Memory for both the VITA/PS4 yet I haven't played it since March and still at ch.4/5 since it has the same mechanics and move sets as the first one. I'm burned out of it cause I don't want to grind to get the same moves as the first game.

There's not necessarily any reason to delete it unless storage space is am issue.

It seems like that for most things for me except like tv. I really enjoy reading but it makes me so tired except like in the morning when I can only read maybe an hour.
It is weird getting older. Every now and again though, I can sink a lot of hours into a new (for me) game.
I guess it's why I like arcade style games cause they give me my gaming fix without overwhelming me.

selling games is such horrible value i can't get myself to do it anymore

unless it's like an old game worth around full price

is op a real person? I feel like he only posts bad copypastas

Nope, not a problem for me, but then again, I'd never play something like the games you mentioned, TC. I recommend you try something with more imaginative gameplay.

What's wrong with MGS?

I tend to complete a game before I move onto the next. It also helps that I don't feel the need to buy many games on day one and even when I do I don't feel I need to rush my current game in order to play it. This helps me not feel burnt out from playing games. If I bought a game on day one all the time and rushed my games then sure I would feel burnt out rather quick.

MGS V is repetitive, doesn't have much of a story and is a slog.

Agreed. Which is a shame because they really tightened up the gameplay. But it's all in service of a mostly empty world where you do the same thing over and over again.
