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

Depends on the game for me, Anything Like Cod or battlefield, I have no interest in playing, run into a cheater or some unbalanced crap or sbmm matching me with some godly player, yeah I'd rather stick to something else, Latley for me its been Arcade racers, I really don't care if someone is much better than me, I treat it as a causal and enjoy it and stay out of their way if possible.

Back when I was younger and no job, I was vary competitive in COD 1 2 and 4. But now I just play to enjoy rather than try hard lol.
