Losing the will to game! What to do?

[Duke Dude]

So for the past two weeks I've been loosing the will to game, I just can't get excited over games anymore !

I've been through these stages where I just don't feel like gaming but I've always been able to pick up a killer indie game (Be it LIMBO, Bastion, Atom Zombie Smasher etc...) that reminds of all the the good that gaming can accomplish! That is not the case anymore...

But lately for the past two weeks I've been on one steady decline! I just barely made it through LBP and for the past four days I just haven't gamed at all. I've logged into PSN or Steam put in a game, I play 2mins and just walk away...
What do you guys do when you go through this? Will it pass or is my gaming number up ?

Take a break, gaming to hard can do that to you

yar, go through phases like that as well, just go with it and take a break.
You should feel the urge to play again after some time has passed. Don't try and force it, makes it worse.

I went through the same thing. I was never the same afterwards.

I'm taking a break, and I'm not even missing it! Lol, most of my friends are gamers and all they do with their free-time is game, so when I try and get everyone together for drinks they aren't too keen hey!

I went through the same thing. I was never the same afterwards.

My exact sentiments! The only reason why I log into PSN every night is so I can respond to anyone who sends me messages...

I was feeling the same way and could not play any aaa titles. So I found playing stalker with a mod and playing men of war as has made me into gaming again.

Dont stress it shall pass at the end of the Month BF3 and Arkham City once you play titles like these the feeling shall come back , Oh and MW3

I went through the same phase as well. I mostly spent my free time catching up on series. After that, there was no more time to game.

So maybe look at catching up on old series?

That is exactly what I am doing .
At this rate, I dunno if I want to game anymore... And I'm secretly thankful! Odd...

I've never been through a bout of gamers depression as bad as this...

It happens. I just don't have time to game like I used to. And with a baby on the way, I don't I ever will. Lol
