I kind of feel like I'm burned out of playing video games these past couple of years. Life has been fairly good to me these past few years, so I've had the opportunity to do other things with my time besides playing with my Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, and even games on my Android phone. And it's funny because I still occasionally buy games for those consoles and on my phone I mentioned before, but mostly when they're on sale for a good price. But as a result of this, my back log of games is pretty big. I even still have some games like Black Ops 2, Skyrim, Twisted Metal, and Borderlands 2 in their plastic packaging from when I bought them on Black Friday last November. Yet despite my back log, the ONLY game that I've been playing constantly these past couple of years, has been MLB: The Show, for PS3. And I guess it doesn't hurt that baseball has been my personal passion since high school also. But I feel even that is starting to wind down for me these past 2 or 3 years now.
Also recently, I've discovered the goodness that is Steam for the 1st time. I have all my games that I've downloaded from Steam on my laptop for now, because I usually just play those games at work when I have little breaks here and there. And the game that I play the most from Steam is Euro Truck Simulator 2 (I've got like almost 100 hours put into that game so far). But now a days, I see myself playing even those games less and less frequently - they just don't hold my attention like they used to when I first got them.
Some of my friends told me that if you put some time off from playing games, it usually helps to rekindle that need to play again. So I might just do that for the next couple of weeks and see what happens. And also hopefully, with the announcement that Sony made about the PS4, maybe that will also help my inner-gamer in me to come out again.
So... is anyone else here on the same boat as me? Just liked to know how others are dealing with or have dealt with this issue before.
P.S. As for why I used a slightly bigger font when I wrote this, someone suggested to me that it's easier on the eyes to read long pieces of writing with a bigger font.
