Whats happening to me?

Ok I have been PC gaming since '05, about 2 years before that TV Games (NES/SNES/SEGA copy console)
Lately, I found this change in the way I see games, it seems to be affecting games like Fallout 3 plus all expansions and borderlands. I came to a small Epiphany a few months ago that the the mission seem so monotonous! go there kill that, collect that, come back , rinse and repeat.
Borderland is especially bad in this case, the problem is its really ruining my experience, whats happening to me? how can i fix it? :(

eh, take a break from gaming?

What is happening to you is perfectly natural.
I'll warrant that it may also happen to some game reviewers.
You have been playing similar types of games for years and the novelty has worn thin.
Take a break from gaming or try some genre you have not yet played. Quirky indie titles or
puzzle games perhaps?
Failing that, read.

thanks I'll give that a Try

But those games were boring. Borderlands was ok for a bit then got boring fast.

Best thing is mix it up. Try something new and out of your scope of comfort. Lol, get a console, that will do it ^_^

Also things like depression (whether you know you are or not), can have a HUGE impact on enjoyment levels.

It is like looking at a picture on a wall eventually it all looks the same, so ja mix it up or take a break.

This is whats happened to you... You became a BLASPHEMER!!! :mad:

On a more serious note. Try other genre games for a while, or put a little more attention into secondary hobbies, or even both.

Try playing a game type you used to love, but sort of forgot about over time.
