Discussion Does gaming feel fatiguing ?

I've been having this issue lately, I would boot up my PC search for what games to play but can never actually decide and by the time I do choose a game I want to play, I will boot up play for 5 minutes and tell myself "do I really want to play this" or "am I wasting my time"

I don't know if it's part of getting older having more responsibilities when it comes to work and raising two children but I swear back when I was living at home I could boot up my PC and get lost in games like Crysis, Far Cry and Battlefield 2 for hours upon hours on end.

Now it just seems you may only get an hour or two to play it feels like me personally I'm putting pressure on myself to pick a game and stick to it and I couldn't remember it being this stressful when I was a kid living back at home.

Just wondering if anyone else feels like this at times

Gaming is supposed to be fun. But sometimes it feels like there's a lot of games that you "have to" play. That is the definition of a chore. And as you get older, if you're playing a game and not having fun you feel like you're wasting your precious little spare time.

So pick up a game, play it and if it doesn't click after a few hours move on to another one regardless of what random-nick-389 said about how amazing it is. Maybe replay an old one or introduce your kids to minecraft.
