DigitalDigital Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 My life as a gamer may be coming to an end, which would be horrible, but I am not finding the satisfaction in it that I once had. I use to love being addicted to gaming, waking up after a 3 hour nap, eyes blood shot, and keep going for another 12-20 hours. Loved it! Miss it! I was hope'n SO BAD that swtor would revive the hardcore gamer within me, but it hasn't, and it's too bad ;; I was thinking maybe once I hit 50 the end game would do it, but from what I hear/read, leveling/the story is the best part... I'm sad... guess I will try/wait for the next game for my seek for addiction, which thru my research best chances may be Blade and Soul... anyone want my Darth Malgus statue? =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variety is limited until more of the player base gets to 50. For part 2 -- Hell yes I do. I didn't get a CE and I want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose interest in something for awhile and later in life comeback to it. Everyone goes through this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSyn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have been feeiling this for some time now. I am clinging to the hope that Diablo III will change that (assuming it is released before the world ends next year ). If there is any game that can do it, that would be the one.

Ankido Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Diablo III is going to be OK. It's not your typical MMORPG so I don't see the hype in that game. I think World of Warcraft kinda phased everyone out from online gaming which is why so many people are doing FPS. SWTOR did not live up to the hype. It feels the same as other MMORPG's like Rift and nothing more expect SWTOR doesn't offer as much. I'm willing to give it another year. If not, I'll just stick to what I know best and that's WoW. Sadly, I love Star Wars but WoW is too much of a competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us a break. If we spent our entire gaming experience grinding non-stop, I imagine the other 95% of us would wholeheartedly agree with the whiners. The fact is, we're enjoying it and are not in a speed-fueled frenzy to burn ourselves out in a matter of 2 weeks. I can honestly say to those who have reached level 50 and are burned out, "Well, duh, no wonder." Edited December 29, 2011 by Krookid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reached 25 yesterday, haven't reached 50 and doubt I ever will. i am not rushing through it at all. that's what I am saying, I wish it would have hooked me so I couldn't put down the controls, but it hasn't. re-read the op. you will see I wish it made me spend non-stop hours in it, but has not. let people speak there mind without assuming it has to do with whining about the game, I didn't take anything away for your precious. you give me a break and none the less if it's possible to get burned out just after a few weeks of playing non-stop then it wouldn't be big enough for me anyways. I need atleast a year of online living. but thanks for not comprehending my op and responding with the typical non-helpful trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sounds like a simple case of burnout. Stop playing games for a while, it will go one of two ways, you'll either replace your gaming hobby with something else or you'll get your gaming appetite back.

I used to be quite the addict myself. Found out I was jaded of and burned out by alot of them these days. Best advice: Do not seek for addiction anymore. Stick to the fun instead and don't play anymore the instant you are losing the most of it. My advice, worked for me so far. It's got nothing to do with a special game though, could be any game, this topic just adds to the heap of negativity though.

acheros Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'ved noticed during long play sessions, it starts to drag along during the tail end before i take a break. Like, Okay. Just start playing, cool, get things done, i can play for a few hours and it goes by like minutes..then it starts to sloooooooow down, and just walking from one mission to the next seems to take an hour in of itself.
