Never!

Going through this right now. Don't enjoy playing single player games much. Only usually enjoy multi-player games if I'm playing with my wife. I'm just letting it happen tbh.

Getting into tabletop games and collecting instead. Unlike video games, tabletop games come with all sorts of cool knickknacks, especially war games, and I'm finding getting to collect them and then play with the cool new things holds my interest better nowadays. Feels like it scratches the same itch as installing a thousand new mods into video games then playing for a few hours before loading it up with even more mods, but instead of mods it's new little dudes and I get to assemble and paint them.

This happened to me the other day. I've had FarCry4 on my Xbox for years. Never played it. Well the other day, started playing it. Died A LOT. But was still having a blast, visuals are a little dated, but the atmosphere and game mechanics are still very fun overall.

Haven't dived deep yet into the FarCry4 story/lore, but hoping it picks up more. But as I was dying a lot. I wasn't having any fun. So I stopped playing it for a couple days, and came back to it, fully refreshed and fully restored to tackle the mission. Spoiler: the fun stayed :)

Video games haven't been worth playing for a long while now.

But the flames has died

fandom and its dogmatic bullshit doesn't help, like how some get so upset about the possibility of a stranger, somewhere in the world that they will never meet, playing a game the wrong way because it might add accessibility options or difficulty sliders.

Try Ghost of Tsushima or other great games but only short ones, avoid no man sky for now or other long games. Let it rest for a while and come back to it later.
