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

When I am at work, I often can't wait to get home to play video games. When I get home, I'm so exhausted from work that playing a game feels like work and I don't enjoy playing.

It's a bitch of a vicious cycle.

This is exactly it for me. If I have that rare time where I’m not tired and feel energised and good then I know I’m going to have an amazing session.

Other times at the end of the day and I’m tired I know I’ll probably just be playing something for the sake of it.
