Came here to say this. Depression is what kills the fun and all the enjoyment, I had the same thing happen to me when I was 23, OP I am guessing you are going through some other things that affect your life overall. Try other things, I for example picked up weekend camping ground during that time and didnt even play video games for months.

Only im not depressed. At least I dont think i am!

I like my job, im a CNC programmer for a luxury furniture mill, currently working on 4 CNC's ... something that i savour doing.

I take enough of free time, i piece of work only 8 hours a day with the occasional 9-10 hr shift every now and again.

My overall life is fine.

Dont call back im depressed

one problem is that y'all're playing bad games. and I'm dead serious, 'cyberpunk" lol, I can definitely imagine what games you tend to play, I'd be bored too!

Personally I tin can't play western games at all, the blitheness are 99% terrible, they all have this weird kind of handholding to make sure the role player alway knows the next step (basically "press x to win syndrome") and play generally in a very similar way,, fifty-fifty the "stories"... in a way, you could say they accept themselves style as well serious.

yes I'1000 completely over generalizing, only that's kinda the point, on average, in well-nigh instance it'southward true...

Asian games are different, they practise accept some similarities for sure, some try to exist too much to be "western" (prominent examples : MGSV, complete "DS" saga...) but more often than not they have much more risks, trying new things and aren't necessarily afraid of failing (prominent examples : "Nier", Yakuza, Monster Hunter)

Yes, hey, maybe I'thou completely "wrong" but my gut feeling says that's were the effect lies somehow...

too much mainstream, pew pew, certain that must become wearisome at some bespeak!

me? I might get this likewise that I'1000 not certain what to play next, but there's always something new coming around somehow, even if it's in class of emulating older games - 1 of my personal favorites and absolute gem which I did find not too unrecently:

I just love games, and shit like this is why! ;D

PS: information technology'southward also absolutely beautiful in 4k! they don't make'yard like that anymore...

Idk i play a wide range of games i call up.

I dont play FPS games like call of duty warzone any more. Any fast paces FPS games, i dont wanna hear about information technology.

Same goes for RTS games, i rarely play these anymore, dont like em anymore.

I cant speak to anyone'southward gustation in games but for me, Cyberpunk 2077, is a dream come true. Its simply the game i ever wanted.

Anyway, like i said, i play a wide range of games in all sort of genres. Games like Graveyard Keeper, Mars Horizon, KSP, X4 Foundation, Decease Stranding, Star Wars Jedi Fallen guild, Stellaris, Anno 1800, Squad, Heroes 3 (yes, i notwithstanding play this) and so on.

Those are all games i have currently installed and play ... Well ... i play less at present than i used to ...

But have a suspension? If you take games the better part of your life (like me for 20 some years) and are simply now losing interest, just take a suspension. I have taken two, and you could say I'one thousand currently on interruption too. I've taken two breaks where I didn't play anything for couple of months. Currently I only play Overwatch and Gems of State of war (match-3 style). Mainly this is due other activities taking my interests and time, merely also as the games I have played before don't actually get my sparks flying.

I don't practise anything because I feel similar I need to go along the spark upward. If I have spark for something, I go on with it. Until I lose interest and drib it. Thats how things go with some people. And thats too reason why I don't pursue career on games or tech, even when those have been important to me. I don't want to lose that interest completely considering I make money with it.

Then take a break. Maybe movement to watching streams, maybe take upwards something else. You can ever come back or choice up things over again.

Well kinda hard to exercise atm (taking a break i mean).

With the pandemic going on, i cant do much outside and I dont have anything to do dwelling house other than gaming and movies. I watched a lot of movies lately but im starting to run low on movies to watch tbh heh

I think 2020 is the worst time to have an effect such equally mine, this year is just a disaster!

Have you ever considered the fact that you grew out of it?

Sure, you lot tin can try to reignite the passion but isn't letting it get a better alternative? Perhaps even for a while, just so you tin can run into what happens.

Honestly, think about it similar that: yous're doing something that is meant to bring yous joy but causes the opposite. So at that place you are, bored to the cadre and not knowing what to do next while there's a shitton of other cool stuff you could be doing at the very aforementioned time. Something that can bring you fulfillment just because you encounter a reason in it, because you lot see furnishings of your work, because you know you're learning new stuff, because you improve yourself.

Realize how much yous are missing past limiting yourself to something you don't even savor anymore.

I agree with you, i should exist doing something else atm.

I know what i want to do, its my dream activity/hobby. I've already done it in the past for a short bit and i love it, i would give up gaming for it.

Airsoft.

I tin afford doing it, its pretty expensive sport BUT its 2020!

I cant do it considering of lockdown. Even if i could do it, sadly, i live in an area where this sport is kinda dead. At that place used to exist some clubs in my area simply they all disbanded in time.

Idk what else to practice, never liked classic sports like soccer or annihilation like that ...

Ive had a crude time trying to observe a different hobby other than gaming tbh

A lot of games ARE bad.

The tendency even simply 10 years ago was to release a game complete.

I likewise think PS4 got a lot of the bangers nosotros missed.

Pc got games in the final 7 years but virtually were curt/shitty indie games.

We also got ports like dark souls (difficult then perchance skipped), halo, call of duty.

Nothing super stellar though.

Im non really looking frontwards to any games.

I do agree with this.

Game quality has gone downwardly in the past few years. A lot of games nowdays are copy paste type games. All experience the same, all generic, goose egg innovating, cipher really heady.

And yes, ps4 got some of the best titles released in the past few years, titles that pc gamers cant play. I dont like consoles, never accept, never volition and so i guess unless some ports are made i will never be able to play those games. ...
