>>736872525i don't remember clicking on your diary, bitch
>>736873057Cared enough to click his thread and reply.
>>736872525>backlogThat's a literal ADHD zoom zoom invention.A mark of soulless, impatient husks, that do not ENJOY vidya. Just consoom it post-haste.In other words:You only play shit, and try to chase some sort of imaginary high score before you die.Play something older. Something outside your comfort zone. Something COMPLETE and PROFOUND, that does NOT patronize you like all the post-2007 slop.Pic very related.
Start with smaller games and stop buying games. All of my interest for new games stopped once AI took over
>>736872525I don't think I'm getting tired of vidya. I think I'm conditioning my brain to stare at this site and YouTube.
>>736872525If you don't want to play anything in your backlog clear it out and start over.A backlog is supposed to be for games you actually want to play, not games you feel obligated to play.Gaming is not a job anon.

>>736872525Having a big list of choices often means you'll get in the habit of finding reasons not to pick one and never find a reason to pick one. You should just start playing one because that will be more fun than not playing anything.
>>736872525Just don't play them now. Do something else for a while.
>limited time, technology or interest in vidya anymore>pay for xbox game pass to play on my phone>start new game>play a few hours here and there over a week>on 4th play, so about 3 hours in>complete a mission, the games title appears in big letters accompanied by a large musical score>oh, that was just the prologue>fuck this I'm not ever finishing itEvery time
It's the same as having access to every movie and show that you didn't before. So many choices, you don't know what to pick, so you just don't feel like watching anything.I'm the same way. Instead of playing a game I never had the chance to before, I instead browse yt, 4chan, any reviewers for any good game that may have slipped my radar, add it to the collection, but never play it. I think another factor is I have short attention span. I don't care about cinematics and story in game, skip dialogue, and just want the action. Not to mention I don't even bother booting up my PC or sit in front of a TV anymore. Just emulate on my phone old ps2 classics and even then I stick to one game, play it 5 secs, and go do anything else.We've been conditioned to have everything accessible and on demand now that we don't even want anything anymore.And that's fine, cause we're not supposed to access all games, media, and sources of knowledge and entertainment all at once. Best thing to do is relax and enjoy one thing at a time. Overstimulation leads to exhaustion and burn out, which is what I'm feeling right now at least.Either that or I'm just getting older

Modern games demand a lot of commitment from the player, not because of the game's complexity itself, but because there's a whole backstory to the game. It's no longer just a matter of picking up the controller and starting to play right away. There's a whole story, a to-do list, a roster of characters, a world to explore, and so on, and keeping all of this shit in your mind can be exhausting.That's why, a lot of the time, starting a modern game is a pain in the asshole, whereas in the past, starting a new game was pure pleasure (it's not just because as a kid you're more open to new things, but the games you played as a kid were much more straightforward).The idea, then, is either to start playing more "arcade-style" games, or to overcome the initial barrier that modern games present until you feel sufficiently engaged with them.
