Getting Bored with games.

FPS GLIMMER · 03-14-2011, 12:04 AM

Recenly I have just been not having fun playing xbox games. They feel more like a chore then anything. I have around 70 games to play and none of them seem appetizing (lol). Only game i have gotten into in the last 4 months is two worlds 2.

Only game I have been fun as of late is Starcraft 2 for PC.

Anyone else ever been in a slump?

Yeah been there man, about 6 months ago i think the only way is just play something you enjoy. Don't just play crap games or grinding for achievements.
I found just playing a multiplayer game with a few friends, game chat boosting sessions can be fun not just a grind.
It's only a slump

Ive been going thru the same thing too, so I just change my ways and been boosting with great guys online, makes the time pass faster.

ha me and a couple of friends have found ourselves sitting in a party staring at the dashboard just chatting as we couldnt be bothered to play the xbox... we do that every week until one of us finds a game they like and love playing it...
Most games annoy me atm as im trying to get them finished before the comp or im trying not to score any gs. I find that one game that i find fun to play makes me remember why i like the 360..

A good example of that this year has been dead space 2... i was in a major slump and then i found that and i played it solid for 2 days, bulletstorm was another very good game to cure the boredom...

cut out boosting sessions and horrible grinding for a bit and you will be fine...

Also if u try and set urself some targets it usually works for me... like a gs target by a certain date etc

Yes, this happens i think. Achievement hunting has never been an easy task thats for sure, and from time to time i think we all hit low points. Then a little while later something clicks, and the bug returns and before you know it your popping them again.

Its worth having a small break from them or playing a game to enjoy it then you somehow feel better and soon get back into the driving seat.

I have been in a little slump since the end of January. Played way too many collectible games during Nov, Dec and Jan. I got a little burnt out.

Like the other guys have said just take a break from the crap games.Taking a break to prepare for the comp is helping me. I have been playing Oblivion to gain my composure again. I've maxed it out before on another profile and vowed never to put that much time in it again. Now I am enjoying playing it again to go for the 1K+ again.
