i used to play with my friend back on the xbox360 for hours , right now i like to play quietly alone, now play with my friends once a week i used to do that every day for hours
I’m a game dev and your point on repeating games just in different ways is 100% true. That’s why I think people like google stadia and Amazon Luna need to stop making consoles and start making franchises based off a character like Nintendo did. Then build games for the character off his story.
Open world games have so many repetitive missions and it takes hours to start enjoying the game. But even after that it starts getting boring. Especially if you sit in one place for hours it makes that mission longer. That's why I'm playing my steam deck instead of my ps5. With a handheld like the steam deck. You are enjoying the games more.
I think the industry is also not innovating enough. The fact that we have been getting remasters just shows the laziness to do something new... Perhaps we can also argue that gaming has become too corporate and that creativity to produce art takes a step back from ideas that make profits *Looking at you diablo immoral*

Once you take a brake from playing games its hard to get that motivation to play again if anything its better less negativity in life and its more peaceful😭
Go play stardew valley skyrim red dead spider man god of war this games kicks ass even today for me call of duty is bad in so many ways is boring i prefer playing cs
AAA companies have become greedy and gaming is moving towards a pay to play style more common with app’s. It’s almost like gambling at this point. They will produce whatever makes them the most money, that’s why they release half the game and sell the rest of it as DLC.
I bought a PS5 console and tried multiple games for a couple hours at a time before realizing how over-stimulating the graphics and immersion were to a point where it felt tedious to play instead of fun. Like it was activating too much of my brain if that makes sense. I work six days a week and do karate 2-3 days a week so I just want to relax during my free time, but PS5 was not a relaxing experience that was a brutal sensory overload that made me even more exhausted. Returned the console and went back to my PS2 where all the fun and simple games are.
yes yes yes.. finaly someone who understand what i am feeling about gaming nowdays, bought a xbox series x and sold it because of the reasons you mentioned, and buyed a super nintendo , old tv with SCART and super mario all-stars.. and that game is actually FUN to play👍👏
Video games used to be created by developers with dreams. Now, they are made by businessmen specifically to rip you off. Also, where do we go from 8K? The biggest leap was in the '90s, from 2D to 3D. Games have barely changed since the mid-2000's only the graphics have improved due to more powerful hardware. But we've seen it all. Take cover, kill the bad guys, move on, repeat. You know what to expect. I only play early 2000s games using a GameCube emulator.
I have had a PS5 for a few months, and I'm bored already. I had a great time getting 100% on San Andreas Definitive Edition, but now the only other games I tend to play are FIFA 23 and Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy, and I'm sick of playing them. Games used to be so much more fun on PS1 and PS2, and it felt like the developers really put work into the gameplay. Now, it feels like games seem more focused on graphics and cutscenes, and they just seem boring.
I'm 42 and the last game I played that I couldn't put down was Skyrim on PS3. I was addicted to the dopamine rush that it gave me. It was like an IV drip of dopamine. Now that I'm 42 I barely play any games at all after buying cyberpunk that was a complete disappointment and then elden ring which is impossible for me to enjoy because it's so difficult. My theories are that I might have ADHD or I finally grew up or games are just garbage money grabs. I would love to be able to enjoy games again.
I think it's because videos games today are just garbage. The spark that made video games fun are gone. The gaming industry lost it's touch. The younger generation will never understand. Gaming isn't what it used to be. The games these days are long, repetitive and just plain boring. There is nothing original and unique about it anymore. The ps2 and early ps3 era will always be my favorite era of gaming.
I don't think videogames today provide the same experience they once did. I look forward to games like Scorn that's coming out this fall to [hopefully] provide a more engaging and immersive experience. Games need to tell a story and sell an experience. Think of games you may remember when u were younger - for me, the ones that I remember are Gran Turismo, Turok, Perfect Dark, 007, and super smash brothers and few others. Everything else seems like a blur. I look forward to continuing my campaign in Kingdom Come Deliverance because it tells a story, which you help pave the way for. I also agree with you, Mark, that I and much of the population are also suffering from ADHD from the use of cell-phone apps that provide immediacy of whatever it is they provide. And I agree with you, Lol, that game development needs to tighten up on more unique characters and stories- it's okay if a game doesn't appeal to the masses, that is what will make it good.
@@Ray.M.12345 Exactly you get It , alot of commenters keep trying to rationalize It by age saying you grew up or It's nostalgia but It honestly has nothing to do with that.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 people dont get it. The gaming industry and community has changed. Developers create less games and when they do they put most of their effort in skins. Thats why rockstar for instance is milking gta 5 to death. It's more risky for a company to create a game from scratch. Instead of just milking it.
People keep saying its just a product of “growing up”. Nope. Simple. Gaming was a GROUP activity for most. And gaming became so toxic it created a solo players wasteland. And thats why gaming has died plus corporate greed and sooooo many other things
I am feeling exactly like this. I don't even know who you are, i just wrote why video games feel boring these days and got this video. I played nearly all games (had a rough childhood) and they were my means to escape, now at 27 i feel empty. Tried playing far cry 6 the other day and i just shut it in the first 10 mins. Back then I could play for 12 hrs straight, now i just don't get motivated...the feeling of fun is gone. Idk what's happening. Maybe it's life. But then again I loved the plague tale requiem (the story is amazing) so maybe it's the game. Idk can't figure out life rn.
I used to think that now that we're all getting older and older, games are getting less fun. But i mean elden ring dropped and i easily pumped 250 hours into it like it was nothing, that just doesnt happen for me. We all also know that the gaming industry is at a point where its more focused on the monetization than anything else. Triple A games alot of the time stick with trends, copy mechanics from more successful games and i think this is whats leading to this gaming burnout, we're all been playing, more or less, the same game for the last few years now. My burnout stopped almost immediately once i started getting into indie games. Stardew valley, Don't starve and The long dark have really reignited gaming for me.
Yknow what’s sad is that growing up you just have your siblings around more to game with and watch. Now we’ve all grown apart and live in different places and have other things to focus on. When I game, it’s just myself and there’s no one to celebrate with when I beat a game. Things were different as a kid with all my friends and siblings being involved in the same games I was.
its always strange to me hearing when a younger person started with ps2 and wii. imagine starting with nes and opening mario 3 for chrismas 😅. i remember seeing the commercials before ps2 dropped. it was like we were being given high technology from another dimension
Dreamcast blew me away before PS2 ever dropped so that completely stole PS2 and every other 6th gen console's graphical thunder and the gigantic leap we experienced , even though PS2 still had amazing games. Before that though the biggest 3D leap was definitely 1995 when both SS/PS1 dropped ,that was the largest 3D leap I've ever felt. I didn't feel much of a leap 7th , 8th , or 9th gen , not nearly as special or memorable as 5th , and 6th.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 true I have known about the Dreamcast. In fact I told my mom sonic is for ps1 now, then she told me that's not playstation lol. First leap from 2d to 3d for me was in 96 or 97 seeing the n64 with Mario 64. Then I eventually came around to playing everything such as SS, PS1, then eventually DC. The thing is since 3d was new we were hyped about anything involving those consoles at the time
I can agree with you here ngl, other games don’t hit the same but tbh fort is still fun asf to me, plus when you get bored of regular battle royal, fort has hella different creative games ppl made. But there hasn’t been a spark in a min even with like new games like Elder Ring I haven’t heard too much about it fr
Part of it is the kid vs adult brain. When your a playing games as a kid it’s revolutionary to you, controlling a character for the first time level design, learning the patterns ,challenges, enemy designs. I remember playing socom 1 and nfs hot pursuit 2 as a 7 year old it’s like woow I don’t want put the controller down. As you get older you get used to it and the experience becomes less impactful.
Pretty much. We have seen it all by now. Not only that. The industry has changed, and the gaming community too. I doubt 90's and 80's kids represent the majority of gamers.
It’s not that necessarily, quality and originality of games have been sucking , majority of them anyway. There are people in their 30s now who had a great time gaming in their 20s in 2010-2018ish, so it’s not really about the “kid brain” thing. Passion just feels gone in gaming.
For real you’re like “I can’t believe these graphics used to impress me” but going from 8 bit gaming to 64 to 256 to whatever the standard is now with insanely high FPS speeds and realistic photo image environment stuff you can really appreciate it all a little more than kids now who are thrust right in to the craziest graphics we’ve ever seen without knowing much else. If I have kids I’m raising them on the same consoles I had 😂
I'm an older gamer. NES, SNES, and Genesis/Megadrive were brand-new when I got into them. First console was an N64 then I got a PSone and Dreamcast. VGs back then were new and eventful, you had new genres or new spins on genres coming out all the time. It was crazy. The stories were engaging, the gameplay was refreshing. Then it started to fall apart around the 360/PS3 era for me. Online gaming is cool and all and I played my fair share of it with Tekken and Tomb Raider which were great but unless you're looking for those types of experiences, gaming is not as engaging anymore. A lot of the AAA titles play it safe so it feels like you're doing the same thing over and over and while there's been a serious uptick in production value with adding in Hollywood level talent and multi-million dollar gaming engines to craft the most realistic stuff out there, it's been also feeling trite. But with the amount of money being pumped into these things, it's no surprise why. Some indie games offer the novel experiences that were like the older stuff I used to play but at some point, it all kind of feels like the same thing. I guess it's just getting old and seeing everything that's been done already.
@@coolgameplays1454 Boss design in eldenring is the worst of all Souls games unfortunately. If boss design wasnt 10hit combo without breaks for some bosses, the game would easily be 9,99/10. I just think bosses become kinda tedious if you cant punish 90% of combos they do cause they either jump away or start another combo. It gets to a point where running away from the boss and baiting out that 1 jump attack becomes the best tactic. If you play with a shield you can atleast block these undodgeable 10 hit combos, but if you play it like old souls games youre kinda screwed imo and bosses dont feel as fun. If you dont abuse the new magic, ash of wars or new summons, the bosses just feel tedious and hard for the sake of beeing hard. If you abuse the new systems even my mom could beat eldenring... like just give her magic and mimic+10 and she is set.
@Кристиян Трънбашев I play Genshin since Mar/2021 and it's so goddamn boring now. I have a bunch of top tier 5* star chars and even then it's not as fun as it used to be. The only reason I still play is because I like the characters themselves and I want to see how the story ends.
As much as many hated ghost I loved it and I loved the infection mode in it where the survivors would camp on that corner area where you had to climb to get through only to get shot
Gaming is dry and I'm not talking about call of duty or nba 2k, im talking classic video games. I think Elden Ring was the best video game we've had in a LONG time. But dont get me wrong I know video game companies are trying, there are 10s or 100s of video games released each year, they just aren't making the mark.
I think this video just proved the point to me that it’s just a getting older having responsibilities and not being able to spend the time. Almost all the games you mentioned you enjoyed I thought were average af when they came out lol.
AC Valhalla was definitely an extreme. Thank God for games like God of war, ghost of tsushima, uncharted, spiderman. I'll take 15-20 hours of gold over 100 hours of crap any day. First video I've seen of yours. Keep it up man! Subbed
I'm actually a female gamer and for me gaming is boring nowadays since I have WAY too much time for it xD luckily im gonna have an apprenticeship/work soon. Not only that it doesn't feel rewarding for now, it's also cause I want to play a whole lot of other games BUT I would need a PC for it and good ones are too expensive AND buying a new game also takes time for me. So I play the same games each day, in the past I didn't care, I was younger, all was new, had some friends, but now with almost 21 years I wish I had more possibility in gaming. I do game with my girlfriend or big brother from time to time but its hard to have fun in always the same things over and over when you are older. The worst is when I play a game, I can play through it in a few days or at least a week or two max, meaning little Single Player games are nothing to me. I do any Idea I got, get it all to 100% and then what..? I get bored and don't know what to do. Multiplayer games keep my head up right now. Love helping and such so I enjoy coming together with other players, especially in animal or car games OH and I noticed I am way more into strategy or long term games now too, even board games haha xD
And why after almost a year of having it sitting, I binge played miles morales fast and was/is one of my favorite games this year (elden ring and god of war being in a tie for first). I played Spider-Man 2018 and after finishing it I felt like the start of miles morales was just continued content and I had a lot of genre fatigue (burnt out on the Spider-Man in general). Almost a year later I finished miles morales in a week and I loved it. It’s a short game but I can look back and say I enjoyed every minute versus games like Valhalla I played like 12 hours and quit wondering why I’m not close to the end of the story (and it’s not just cause length as I’ve played games for 300+ hours), however I feel story driven games need a certain pace. Once they become way too spread out the narrative becomes too thin. Spider-Man and god of war had good pacing and miles morales IMO did it best. It was action packed, mechanic progressions (not just stat boosts but actual gameplay mechanic changes along the way, great narrative, and emotional ending. I think I get bored of games because most games implement grind where it’s not necessary just to increase playtime.
They've turned the whole PS5 game market into an amateur Unreal developer cesspool of untested, horrible games. They're all the same now. Wonky control schemes and the difficulty cranked to 11. The games are so predictable, it's like, "Let me guess. This game is going to be insanely difficult and frustrating AF."
Bro, just watch your video, I'm thinking it's your taste in games that makes it think its boring. Now please dont attack me for it lol but since your opening up your experience in gaming I suggest you playing the persona series ONLY if you like anime. Amazing series.From the games you've listed theres plenty of games that you probably have missed on the ps3 and xbox 360, and ps4 and xbox one era. If you play the switch I can give you some game suggestions for you to play. You probably do PC games too but try some old school classics. I've played metal gear solid 1 on ps1 when I was 27 years old ( I'm 28 now). Despite of how bad the graphics are, the budgeting went to this storytelling, thriller of good voice acting characters and gameplay makes up for it. The thing is I never gave these games a chance and you'll see why these games had sequels.
I've bought lots of games on Ps5 in a matter of weeks. ▪︎ Spiderman ▪︎ Baldurs Gate ▪︎ Star Wars ▪︎ Elden Ring ▪︎ Final Fantasy 16 ▪︎ Castlevania but still i feel bored. Gaming not like we used to. Same copy paste games that doesnt have the soul.
I used to think it was just me getting older and games became less interesting but then i bought elden ring and i havent played something that good in forever so its not my age, probably just a lot of games being bad nowadays
Bro when you have props to Black Ops 3 I thought I was the only one who thought that game was amazing. Thank you for making me know now that I’m not crazy lol
As an old boomer I feel you, just got cyberpunk for cheap on my PS5, sure it looks nice and all but stupid game wasted 5 hours on what wasn't even the start of the game! The game isn't anything super different from Deus Ex, a game I played 20ish years ago. So we are stuck with games that mechanically haven't changed much but insist of burning millions of hours on whatever gameplay.
Ps2 and early ps3 era was the best era of gaming for me. I had a ps2, ps3, Xbox 360, Wii and Psp. Loved all of them had so much fun. Then came the ps4 and gaming became really repetitive. Then came the ps5 the games honestly looks boring asf. Yeah graphics got better but that's it. These games are not for FUN anymore. Now it's just a money making machine it feels so soulless. The ps5 hardly has any games. If i could wish for 2 games to return on ps5 it would be Jak&Daxter and Sly Cooper. But unfortunately it will never happen...
I only played Sega games when jumping to PS4 and some how it stuck for a decade. I've tried JRPGs and it was fun at first but the grinding makes it a job.
I quit about 10 years ago or more and never miss it. Picked up the odd console cheap but played them for only a couple of hrs. Just too busy, can't do anymore screen time.. online gaming and microtransactions.. hardcore gamers = zero interest.
You me and everyone in the comment section having a hard time understanding that the games aren’t boring nowadays it’s the fact that we’re older.. Working Paying bills dealing the hardships of life killed the little kid that with the huge imagination that lives inside us.. It’s hard to even play games without feeling like I could be doing something else more productive.. We’re all just older.. My kids have the same fun we all once had playing video games.. Most games are pay to win nowadays anyway..
Because we as gamers have evolved and understand the mechanics of video games for example we know that jump scares in a game is just a mechanic you set off when you cross a certain line knowing all this everything just seems like the same games being made in 2016 like if games from 2016 and 2024 got swapped could you really tell the difference? Bored of playing the same thing over and over again
For me there are just too many good and huge Games out there. And i'm too lazy to learn all the details of a new Game. I just rather watch youtube or Twitch.
You say games are boring and then you mention games within the shooting genre and 2k that you play. I feel like part of everyone's boredom (I was guilty of this) is due to playing too many stupid shooters and lame copy and paste sports games. Do what I did and start exploring other genres. Maybe genres you played as a kid. Give it a try. I recently got into retro gaming and went back one of my favorite games growing up that hold up really well. Games from the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 2. Explore your options. This may not work for everyone but it did for me. Stray away from the generic gamer guy who only plays COD and 2k and nothing else.
The only open world games I have in my collection is Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman 2016 and Forbidden West. Those are the only 3 open world games that I can keep coming back to without all the filler crap and quality content that I want to do, and on new game plus they are only around 7 hours long. Outside of that I just rotate games that have a solid short and sweet single player, Vanquish, Bayonetta, RE 2 Remake, New World Order/Old Blood, Doom, Zone of the Ender 2 and so on. The term replay value is all messed up these days. It's not about having online or a game being 300 hours long with 1 million collectibles. True replay value means when you play it a 2nd, 3rd, or however many times, is it just as fun as the first time you played it by time you come back around to it. Nobody back in the day said, if only Tetrix and Pacman had online, or if only they were 100 hours long, I would buy it. People these days don't know what replay value means. Now studios need to sell a 5 hour game with 40 hours of filler and online tossed in so they will buy it.
I just started playing ghost of tsushima and its lowkey boring, the game is great, im not going to lie but it really reminds me of every other open world game out there. Spider man tho i completed it in a week it was fresh for me, resident evils i love those completed most of them. What i noticed is a lot of games are either battle royale or open world story rpg and im getting tired of running around the world to do side missions and every now and then doing some main story missions that are not even that satisfying
I thought I was the only one I have both the PS5 and the Series X and I’m so bored and I can’t find a game that draws me in. I only have fun playing 2k with friends. It’s like the games just are so boring and full of dumb repetitive puzzles.
Yeah, modern games suck because they're made for idiots. Why not just play classic games instead of regurgitated garbage? I heard a coworker say, "That game is dead." Seems like one of the dumbest and most childish things I can hear somebody say.
I’m in my 40’s and I think the main reason a lot of games have gotten boring is cus they either sacrifice good story by adding repetitive missions, or just make it open world, and the big one the damned online content. As Kirito in SAO abridged would say, I play video games cus I want to avoid people, the last thing I wanna do is play online with a bunch of mouth breathers who think LMAO is how French people laugh. 4:25
Just keep in mind, you could learn intermediate French in 60 hours spread out over 2 hours per day. That's why gamers generally become losers. They don't seem to grasp the value of time. I built a app that makes me $10k per month passively, in 30 days. Fair enough I am a software engineers with 15 years experience but you get the idea. 60 hours to finish a game and feel meh, or 60 to build a prototype of a million dollar idea.... I dunno man, think about it. If you're over 21 and still grind in games....
I have this feeling that I want to play games but don't want to play any of my current ones except for House flipper. I have over 300 games but just don't have the passion to play, I got the Witcher 3 yesterday and am already getting bored. I have always loved RPGs but recently have no passion. I used to play Fortnite and Apex Legends with my friends, but they now feel dull. If you see this and feel the same then please comment.
it's really these lazy money hungry developers that push out these un finished games cause I'm still out here play ps3 games cause atleast they finished
like we used to watch cartoons and enjoy now we don't...same is now with gaming we will no more enjoy games ..or we have played too much of games now it feels boring
Easy. Cluttered menus, forced tutorials, cutscenes, a focus on realism, etc. None of these things are fun. Developers know these things aren't fun, but they make their games like that anyway now. When average people play a game, they only want to have fun. They don't want to see the things described. Anytime a video game is doing something that isn't fun, that can stop people from playing it. That's just common sense. Yes, a forced tutorial can stop people from playing a game again. Because that's not why people play games. Developers can put the control information in the options screen, it's not necessary during gameplay to have a tutorial. Like I said, the instant a game is doing something not fun, people might stop playing it.
I'm 37 I've been playing games and around games my whole life....back then I used to look for to the new releases now everything that comes out is trash...I have a p5 and it's taking me 4 days to decide if I should get mk1 or not...I like the original story line now they changed it completely after 20 years of scorpion vs subzero now they are brothers best friends....I purchased a lot of games that just came out only to be disappointed...because they eitha a copy of an older game or it's just boring...I notice once the p4 came out they stop focusing on the story and focus on the gtaffics...like the games look good but the story be trash.....I'm tryin my best to get into gaming ...saints row tras....2k trass....diablo 4 trass,,sf6 trass....I'm tired of spending dam near 70-80 dollars on games and they not worth it...I'ma bout to play my dust cover oculus again 🤦🏾♂️😟😭
Think I'm just tired of the shooter genre as a whole, they just feel the same to me because the gameplay loop in each of them is practically identical and has been since the inception of the genre. I used to love these games but my enjoyment for them just isn't there anymore to the point where I will now actively avoid any game that has shooting as it's core mechanic. Having said that I've been enjoying a lot of games lately from indie developers, these games feel like they've really been made with passion, have unique concepts & interesting gameplay ideas. And on top of that most of them will not try to rip you off at every possible moment such as in AAA.
I used to play for hours all by myself. Now I can’t play alone…only have fun playing with my friends.

I’m a game dev and your point on repeating games just in different ways is 100% true. That’s why I think people like google stadia and Amazon Luna need to stop making consoles and start making franchises based off a character like Nintendo did. Then build games for the character off his story.
Open world games have so many repetitive missions and it takes hours to start enjoying the game. But even after that it starts getting boring.

I bought a PS5 console and tried multiple games for a couple hours at a time before realizing how over-stimulating the graphics and immersion were to a point where it felt tedious to play instead of fun. Like it was activating too much of my brain if that makes sense. I work six days a week and do karate 2-3 days a week so I just want to relax during my free time, but PS5 was not a relaxing experience that was a brutal sensory overload that made me even more exhausted. Returned the console and went back to my PS2 where all the fun and simple games are.

Video games used to be created by developers with dreams. Now, they are made by businessmen specifically to rip you off. Also, where do we go from 8K? The biggest leap was in the '90s, from 2D to 3D. Games have barely changed since the mid-2000's only the graphics have improved due to more powerful hardware. But we've seen it all. Take cover, kill the bad guys, move on, repeat. You know what to expect. I only play early 2000s games using a GameCube emulator.

I'm 42 and the last game I played that I couldn't put down was Skyrim on PS3. I was addicted to the dopamine rush that it gave me. It was like an IV drip of dopamine. Now that I'm 42 I barely play any games at all after buying cyberpunk that was a complete disappointment and then elden ring which is impossible for me to enjoy because it's so difficult. My theories are that I might have ADHD or I finally grew up or games are just garbage money grabs. I would love to be able to enjoy games again.
I think it's because videos games today are just garbage. The spark that made video games fun are gone. The gaming industry lost it's touch. The younger generation will never understand. Gaming isn't what it used to be. The games these days are long, repetitive and just plain boring. There is nothing original and unique about it anymore. The ps2 and early ps3 era will always be my favorite era of gaming.
I don't think videogames today provide the same experience they once did. I look forward to games like Scorn that's coming out this fall to [hopefully] provide a more engaging and immersive experience. Games need to tell a story and sell an experience. Think of games you may remember when u were younger - for me, the ones that I remember are Gran Turismo, Turok, Perfect Dark, 007, and super smash brothers and few others. Everything else seems like a blur. I look forward to continuing my campaign in Kingdom Come Deliverance because it tells a story, which you help pave the way for. I also agree with you, Mark, that I and much of the population are also suffering from ADHD from the use of cell-phone apps that provide immediacy of whatever it is they provide. And I agree with you, Lol, that game development needs to tighten up on more unique characters and stories- it's okay if a game doesn't appeal to the masses, that is what will make it good.
@@Ray.M.12345 Exactly you get It , alot of commenters keep trying to rationalize It by age saying you grew up or It's nostalgia
but It honestly has nothing to do with that.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 people dont get it. The gaming industry and community has changed. Developers create less games and when they do they put most of their effort in skins. Thats why rockstar for instance is milking gta 5 to death. It's more risky for a company to create a game from scratch. Instead of just milking it.
For real Skyrim topped it. Now they are boring asf
People keep saying its just a product of “growing up”. Nope. Simple. Gaming was a GROUP activity for most. And gaming became so toxic it created a solo players wasteland. And thats why gaming has died plus corporate greed and sooooo many other things
I am feeling exactly like this. I don't even know who you are, i just wrote why video games feel boring these days and got this video. I played nearly all games (had a rough childhood) and they were my means to escape, now at 27 i feel empty. Tried playing far cry 6 the other day and i just shut it in the first 10 mins. Back then I could play for 12 hrs straight, now i just don't get motivated...the feeling of fun is gone. Idk what's happening. Maybe it's life. But then again I loved the plague tale requiem (the story is amazing) so maybe it's the game. Idk can't figure out life rn.
I used to think that now that we're all getting older and older, games are getting less fun. But i mean elden ring dropped and i easily pumped 250 hours into it like it was nothing, that just doesnt happen for me. We all also know that the gaming industry is at a point where its more focused on the monetization than anything else. Triple A games alot of the time stick with trends, copy mechanics from more successful games and i think this is whats leading to this gaming burnout, we're all been playing, more or less, the same game for the last few years now.
My burnout stopped almost immediately once i started getting into indie games. Stardew valley, Don't starve and The long dark have really reignited gaming for me.
Yknow what’s sad is that growing up you just have your siblings around more to game with and watch. Now we’ve all grown apart and live in different places and have other things to focus on. When I game, it’s just myself and there’s no one to celebrate with when I beat a game. Things were different as a kid with all my friends and siblings being involved in the same games I was.
Just made my day better.
its always strange to me hearing when a younger person started with ps2 and wii. imagine starting with nes and opening mario 3 for chrismas 😅. i remember seeing the commercials before ps2 dropped. it was like we were being given high technology from another dimension
Dreamcast blew me away before PS2 ever dropped so that completely stole PS2 and every other 6th gen console's graphical thunder and the gigantic leap we experienced , even though PS2 still had amazing games. Before that though the biggest 3D leap was definitely 1995 when both SS/PS1 dropped ,that was the largest 3D leap I've ever felt. I didn't feel much of a leap 7th , 8th , or 9th gen , not nearly as special or memorable as 5th , and 6th.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 true I have known about the Dreamcast. In fact I told my mom sonic is for ps1 now, then she told me that's not playstation lol. First leap from 2d to 3d for me was in 96 or 97 seeing the n64 with Mario 64. Then I eventually came around to playing everything such as SS, PS1, then eventually DC. The thing is since 3d was new we were hyped about anything involving those consoles at the time
I got started with NES and N64. Playing the shit out of Turok games. And Mario party.
@@TheGamingChad. nice nice l. Turok 2 is slept on. Closest I had to a mario party game was pokemon stadium 1 and 2, the mini games mode
I can agree with you here ngl, other games don’t hit the same but tbh fort is still fun asf to me, plus when you get bored of regular battle royal, fort has hella different creative games ppl made. But there hasn’t been a spark in a min even with like new games like Elder Ring I haven’t heard too much about it fr
TRUUEE. Although I don't play much creative in Fort, I respect the fact that it adds mad creativity
Part of it is the kid vs adult brain. When your a playing games as a kid it’s revolutionary to you, controlling a character for the first time level design, learning the patterns ,challenges, enemy designs. I remember playing socom 1 and nfs hot pursuit 2 as a 7 year old it’s like woow I don’t want put the controller down. As you get older you get used to it and the experience becomes less impactful.
Pretty much. We have seen it all by now. Not only that. The industry has changed, and the gaming community too. I doubt 90's and 80's kids represent the majority of gamers.
It’s not that necessarily, quality and originality of games have been sucking , majority of them anyway. There are people in their 30s now who had a great time gaming in their 20s in 2010-2018ish, so it’s not really about the “kid brain” thing. Passion just feels gone in gaming.
Until you play Star Wars fallen order
For real you’re like “I can’t believe these graphics used to impress me” but going from 8 bit gaming to 64 to 256 to whatever the standard is now with insanely high FPS speeds and realistic photo image environment stuff you can really appreciate it all a little more than kids now who are thrust right in to the craziest graphics we’ve ever seen without knowing much else. If I have kids I’m raising them on the same consoles I had 😂
Games sucks now days way worse than earlier generations.
I'm an older gamer. NES, SNES, and Genesis/Megadrive were brand-new when I got into them. First console was an N64 then I got a PSone and Dreamcast. VGs back then were new and eventful, you had new genres or new spins on genres coming out all the time. It was crazy. The stories were engaging, the gameplay was refreshing. Then it started to fall apart around the 360/PS3 era for me.
Online gaming is cool and all and I played my fair share of it with Tekken and Tomb Raider which were great but unless you're looking for those types of experiences, gaming is not as engaging anymore. A lot of the AAA titles play it safe so it feels like you're doing the same thing over and over and while there's been a serious uptick in production value with adding in Hollywood level talent and multi-million dollar gaming engines to craft the most realistic stuff out there, it's been also feeling trite. But with the amount of money being pumped into these things, it's no surprise why. Some indie games offer the novel experiences that were like the older stuff I used to play but at some point, it all kind of feels like the same thing. I guess it's just getting old and seeing everything that's been done already.
Imagine playing call of duty and wondering why are games boring
Elden Ring sparked my interest back into video games recently.
Elden ring is overrated its not a masterpirce its ok
Demons Souls for me
@@coolgameplays1454 Boss design in eldenring is the worst of all Souls games unfortunately.
If boss design wasnt 10hit combo without breaks for some bosses, the game would easily be 9,99/10.
I just think bosses become kinda tedious if you cant punish 90% of combos they do cause they either jump away or start another combo. It gets to a point where running away from the boss and baiting out that 1 jump attack becomes the best tactic. If you play with a shield you can atleast block these undodgeable 10 hit combos, but if you play it like old souls games youre kinda screwed imo and bosses dont feel as fun.
If you dont abuse the new magic, ash of wars or new summons, the bosses just feel tedious and hard for the sake of beeing hard.
If you abuse the new systems even my mom could beat eldenring... like just give her magic and mimic+10 and she is set.
I used to think it was just me getting old, but then I found there were still games I couldn't put down
Genshin Impact?
great point actually, I think youre right.
Exactly it's not age it's because games these days are just not as fun and original, as they use to be.
@Кристиян Трънбашев
I play Genshin since Mar/2021 and it's so goddamn boring now. I have a bunch of top tier 5* star chars and even then it's not as fun as it used to be. The only reason I still play is because I like the characters themselves and I want to see how the story ends.
@@Ray.M.12345 Yes
As much as many hated ghost I loved it and I loved the infection mode in it where the survivors would camp on that corner area where you had to climb to get through only to get shot
Gaming is dry and I'm not talking about call of duty or nba 2k, im talking classic video games. I think Elden Ring was the best video game we've had in a LONG time. But dont get me wrong I know video game companies are trying, there are 10s or 100s of video games released each year, they just aren't making the mark.
why dont u admit that in mid late game ELDEN RING becomes extremely boring , even leveling up becomes something unvaluable
The older I get the more I can't stand the immaturity of most people in games I used to love. People got too good and act ridiculous because of it.
I think this video just proved the point to me that it’s just a getting older having responsibilities and not being able to spend the time. Almost all the games you mentioned you enjoyed I thought were average af when they came out lol.
Spent 100+ hours on P4 golden recently and ngl
IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!
Games became boring cause graphics stopped improving, deal with that.
AC Valhalla was definitely an extreme. Thank God for games like God of war, ghost of tsushima, uncharted, spiderman. I'll take 15-20 hours of gold over 100 hours of crap any day. First video I've seen of yours. Keep it up man! Subbed
I'm actually a female gamer and for me gaming is boring nowadays since I have WAY too much time for it xD luckily im gonna have an apprenticeship/work soon. Not only that it doesn't feel rewarding for now, it's also cause I want to play a whole lot of other games BUT I would need a PC for it and good ones are too expensive AND buying a new game also takes time for me. So I play the same games each day, in the past I didn't care, I was younger, all was new, had some friends, but now with almost 21 years I wish I had more possibility in gaming.
I do game with my girlfriend or big brother from time to time but its hard to have fun in always the same things over and over when you are older.
The worst is when I play a game, I can play through it in a few days or at least a week or two max, meaning little Single Player games are nothing to me. I do any Idea I got, get it all to 100% and then what..? I get bored and don't know what to do. Multiplayer games keep my head up right now. Love helping and such so I enjoy coming together with other players, especially in animal or car games
OH and I noticed I am way more into strategy or long term games now too, even board games haha xD
I know one day I'm going to rest in peace due to having experienced the goldern ages of gaming during ps2, 3 and xbox 360
because the developers make terrible games
And why after almost a year of having it sitting, I binge played miles morales fast and was/is one of my favorite games this year (elden ring and god of war being in a tie for first). I played Spider-Man 2018 and after finishing it I felt like the start of miles morales was just continued content and I had a lot of genre fatigue (burnt out on the Spider-Man in general). Almost a year later I finished miles morales in a week and I loved it. It’s a short game but I can look back and say I enjoyed every minute versus games like Valhalla I played like 12 hours and quit wondering why I’m not close to the end of the story (and it’s not just cause length as I’ve played games for 300+ hours), however I feel story driven games need a certain pace. Once they become way too spread out the narrative becomes too thin. Spider-Man and god of war had good pacing and miles morales IMO did it best. It was action packed, mechanic progressions (not just stat boosts but actual gameplay mechanic changes along the way, great narrative, and emotional ending. I think I get bored of games because most games implement grind where it’s not necessary just to increase playtime.
They've turned the whole PS5 game market into an amateur Unreal developer cesspool of untested, horrible games. They're all the same now. Wonky control schemes and the difficulty cranked to 11. The games are so predictable, it's like, "Let me guess. This game is going to be insanely difficult and frustrating AF."
I've played god of war 2018 but now I'm bored now I'm killing the last bosses 😧
Bro, just watch your video, I'm thinking it's your taste in games that makes it think its boring. Now please dont attack me for it lol but since your opening up your experience in gaming I suggest you playing the persona series ONLY if you like anime. Amazing series.From the games you've listed theres plenty of games that you probably have missed on the ps3 and xbox 360, and ps4 and xbox one era. If you play the switch I can give you some game suggestions for you to play. You probably do PC games too but try some old school classics. I've played metal gear solid 1 on ps1 when I was 27 years old ( I'm 28 now). Despite of how bad the graphics are, the budgeting went to this storytelling, thriller of good voice acting characters and gameplay makes up for it. The thing is I never gave these games a chance and you'll see why these games had sequels.
I've bought lots of games on Ps5 in a matter of weeks.
▪︎ Spiderman
▪︎ Baldurs Gate
▪︎ Star Wars
▪︎ Elden Ring
▪︎ Final Fantasy 16
▪︎ Castlevania
but still i feel bored. Gaming not like we used to. Same copy paste games that doesnt have the soul.
The last game that was truly great was RDR2. Gaming has been dead after 2018
Nah. It slowly started after 2010...
I used to think it was just me getting older and games became less interesting but then i bought elden ring and i havent played something that good in forever so its not my age, probably just a lot of games being bad nowadays
I played pc games for hrs and it got boring. I'm having a blast with the nintendo switch games atm
Im here from tiktok and I was not disappointed about the video. W Video and accurate too.
4 yrs ago Forza horizon was my dream game to have on my PC, cut to now I've FH5 and I haven't played it for more than 20 min in last 12 months.
That's crazy man that was my first console too is the PS2 my stepdad gave it to me
The vintage Retro games will always be a legend.
Bro when you have props to Black Ops 3 I thought I was the only one who thought that game was amazing. Thank you for making me know now that I’m not crazy lol
That wii was retrocompatible bro you missed it
As an old boomer I feel you, just got cyberpunk for cheap on my PS5, sure it looks nice and all but stupid game wasted 5 hours on what wasn't even the start of the game! The game isn't anything super different from Deus Ex, a game I played 20ish years ago. So we are stuck with games that mechanically haven't changed much but insist of burning millions of hours on whatever gameplay.
Nowadays the only game that I can keep playing for more than 3 hours straight is Rimworld. Anything else becomes boring after an hour or less.
W vid gangy
Not all games are boring but some are boring like Saints Row, Just Cause, Minecraft (sometimes) and Ninja Gaiden.
I am a 20 year old man playing Kingdom Hearts while watching this video
Ps2 and early ps3 era was the best era of gaming for me. I had a ps2, ps3, Xbox 360, Wii and Psp. Loved all of them had so much fun. Then came the ps4 and gaming became really repetitive. Then came the ps5 the games honestly looks boring asf. Yeah graphics got better but that's it. These games are not for FUN anymore. Now it's just a money making machine it feels so soulless. The ps5 hardly has any games. If i could wish for 2 games to return on ps5 it would be Jak&Daxter and Sly Cooper. But unfortunately it will never happen...
I only played Sega games when jumping to PS4 and some how it stuck for a decade. I've tried JRPGs and it was fun at first but the grinding makes it a job.
i think i just need to touch more grass. im bored of every game bro its sad bc i wanna hav fun
I mean I guess thats one way you can put it💀
I don't even feel like grinding campaign games no more. I wish there was a game like GTA
I quit about 10 years ago or more and never miss it. Picked up the odd console cheap but played them for only a couple of hrs. Just too busy, can't do anymore screen time.. online gaming and microtransactions.. hardcore gamers = zero interest.
My interest changed a lot i prefer movies and social media now as my happy time video games arent the same
You me and everyone in the comment section having a hard time understanding that the games aren’t boring nowadays it’s the fact that we’re older.. Working Paying bills dealing the hardships of life killed the little kid that with the huge imagination that lives inside us.. It’s hard to even play games without feeling like I could be doing something else more productive.. We’re all just older.. My kids have the same fun we all once had playing video games.. Most games are pay to win nowadays anyway..
Because we as gamers have evolved and understand the mechanics of video games for example we know that jump scares in a game is just a mechanic you set off when you cross a certain line knowing all this everything just seems like the same games being made in 2016 like if games from 2016 and 2024 got swapped could you really tell the difference? Bored of playing the same thing over and over again
For me there are just too many good and huge Games out there. And i'm too lazy to learn all the details of a new Game. I just rather watch youtube or Twitch.
I’ve had soulsborne stans telling me to change my preferences after realizing I’d probably never get into Elden Ring
The games are just movies with quick time events and Lil exploring and lots of games are repetitive with fancy graphics
GTA 6 please save us 😢❤
You say games are boring and then you mention games within the shooting genre and 2k that you play. I feel like part of everyone's boredom (I was guilty of this) is due to playing too many stupid shooters and lame copy and paste sports games. Do what I did and start exploring other genres. Maybe genres you played as a kid. Give it a try. I recently got into retro gaming and went back one of my favorite games growing up that hold up really well. Games from the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 2. Explore your options. This may not work for everyone but it did for me. Stray away from the generic gamer guy who only plays COD and 2k and nothing else.
Its not the games, its us not being kids - games are not above everything, there are 1000000000 more different things to do and also find joy into.

That's it 🙂
The only open world games I have in my collection is Ghost of Tsushima, Spiderman 2016 and Forbidden West. Those are the only 3 open world games that I can keep coming back to without all the filler crap and quality content that I want to do, and on new game plus they are only around 7 hours long. Outside of that I just rotate games that have a solid short and sweet single player, Vanquish, Bayonetta, RE 2 Remake, New World Order/Old Blood, Doom, Zone of the Ender 2 and so on.
The term replay value is all messed up these days. It's not about having online or a game being 300 hours long with 1 million collectibles. True replay value means when you play it a 2nd, 3rd, or however many times, is it just as fun as the first time you played it by time you come back around to it. Nobody back in the day said, if only Tetrix and Pacman had online, or if only they were 100 hours long, I would buy it. People these days don't know what replay value means. Now studios need to sell a 5 hour game with 40 hours of filler and online tossed in so they will buy it.
I just started playing ghost of tsushima and its lowkey boring, the game is great, im not going to lie but it really reminds me of every other open world game out there. Spider man tho i completed it in a week it was fresh for me, resident evils i love those completed most of them. What i noticed is a lot of games are either battle royale or open world story rpg and im getting tired of running around the world to do side missions and every now and then doing some main story missions that are not even that satisfying
@@maksymporokhnavets3608 I agree, went back to Ghost and couldn't do it a second time. Spiderman and Forbidden West is still fantastic however
Gosh ghosts of tsushima was so boring played 5 hours and never went back. I truly have lost my love for gaming
The ps2 came out before the wii existed.
I heard Zelda background music so I stayed and I agree ngl
Real
as a kid one learns way faster.
so maybe you are just way faster, way deeper in a game.
I thought I was the only one I have both the PS5 and the Series X and I’m so bored and I can’t find a game that draws me in. I only have fun playing 2k with friends. It’s like the games just are so boring and full of dumb repetitive puzzles.
Yeah, modern games suck because they're made for idiots.
Why not just play classic games instead of regurgitated garbage?
I heard a coworker say, "That game is dead."
Seems like one of the dumbest and most childish things I can hear somebody say.
There are also plenty of indie games
omg its a black wii got me so much lol
I’m in my 40’s and I think the main reason a lot of games have gotten boring is cus they either sacrifice good story by adding repetitive missions, or just make it open world, and the big one the damned online content. As Kirito in SAO abridged would say, I play video games cus I want to avoid people, the last thing I wanna do is play online with a bunch of mouth breathers who think LMAO is how French people laugh. 4:25
Just keep in mind, you could learn intermediate French in 60 hours spread out over 2 hours per day.
That's why gamers generally become losers. They don't seem to grasp the value of time.
I built a app that makes me $10k per month passively, in 30 days. Fair enough I am a software engineers with 15 years experience but you get the idea. 60 hours to finish a game and feel meh, or 60 to build a prototype of a million dollar idea.... I dunno man, think about it. If you're over 21 and still grind in games....
This has nothing to do with age. Games used to be an artistic outlet and it just isnt anymore. It will turn around someday, i just know it.
because we re not enjoying but competing ☹
Investors want make safe profit. As simple as that. They hate you for wanting your time and money to be worth something.
I have this feeling that I want to play games but don't want to play any of my current ones except for House flipper. I have over 300 games but just don't have the passion to play, I got the Witcher 3 yesterday and am already getting bored. I have always loved RPGs but recently have no passion. I used to play Fortnite and Apex Legends with my friends, but they now feel dull. If you see this and feel the same then please comment.
@bluehawk56 probably I still feel the same today just have stopped playing them altogether now
I love it when this man posts talking bout random stuff💀
it's really these lazy money hungry developers that push out these un finished games cause I'm still out here play ps3 games cause atleast they finished
Not to mention they hardly listen to what fans want anymore.
Pay2Win, SBMM and pure greed just destroyed gaming.
I stopped the video at “Ghost and Advanced Warfare are my favorite cod games”.
LMAOOOO
I find myself more interested in retro games now. Like nes, snes, and genesis.
more fun especially side scrolling platform games.
Good video, guy. My first console was a MasterSystem! You have a good taste in games though, haha. I loved the PS2 games!
like we used to watch cartoons and enjoy now we don't...same is now with gaming we will no more enjoy games ..or we have played too much of games now it feels boring
Easy. Cluttered menus, forced tutorials, cutscenes, a focus on realism, etc. None of these things are fun.
Developers know these things aren't fun, but they make their games like that anyway now.
When average people play a game, they only want to have fun. They don't want to see the things described.
Anytime a video game is doing something that isn't fun, that can stop people from playing it. That's just common sense.
Yes, a forced tutorial can stop people from playing a game again. Because that's not why people play games. Developers can put the control information in the options screen, it's not necessary during gameplay to have a tutorial.
Like I said, the instant a game is doing something not fun, people might stop playing it.
Ghosts, Advanced warfare and BO3 are the worst cods ever made. Cod died after Coldwar and now it's full of microtransactions and it's garbage
I'm 37 I've been playing games and around games my whole life....back then I used to look for to the new releases now everything that comes out is trash...I have a p5 and it's taking me 4 days to decide if I should get mk1 or not...I like the original story line now they changed it completely after 20 years of scorpion vs subzero now they are brothers best friends....I purchased a lot of games that just came out only to be disappointed...because they eitha a copy of an older game or it's just boring...I notice once the p4 came out they stop focusing on the story and focus on the gtaffics...like the games look good but the story be trash.....I'm tryin my best to get into gaming ...saints row tras....2k trass....diablo 4 trass,,sf6 trass....I'm tired of spending dam near 70-80 dollars on games and they not worth it...I'ma bout to play my dust cover oculus again 🤦🏾♂️😟😭
It peaked with GTA IV which just gets better with age (experience)
i was searching then this showed up. Same man
Hold on, you got your first PS2 after the Wii had already came out?
Think I'm just tired of the shooter genre as a whole, they just feel the same to me because the gameplay loop in each of them is practically identical and has been since the inception of the genre. I used to love these games but my enjoyment for them just isn't there anymore to the point where I will now actively avoid any game that has shooting as it's core mechanic.
Having said that I've been enjoying a lot of games lately from indie developers, these games feel like they've really been made with passion, have unique concepts & interesting gameplay ideas. And on top of that most of them will not try to rip you off at every possible moment such as in AAA.
Bruh said a black wii 😂 I’m crying
Times he said “I am not gonna lie”
30 times
But this year with single player games on top with the new into the spider verse coneing out it’s all finna be fire
