Bored of gaming? Can you only find the motivation to only play your favorite shooter, everything else just get ignored?
That's me.
I only play Uncharted 3 and that's only because I want to finish it on crushing.
My consoles are off for days, just thinking about them bores me, talk about an all time low, this is as bad as it gets.
At the grand old age of 40, I finally think its time to pack up, sell up, and take up a new hobby.
Sad days indeed, but inevitable the more time gos on.

What i did was dug out my old trusty ps2 and giving a few classic games such as lma 2007 and final fantasy X-2 ect a run this seems to be filling the void for now.
Maybe its just a phase as Ive got so much else going on at the moment & Im hoping something new will come out soon that will get me back into gaming again.
It's good to know that people still play LMA!
I am, at heart, an MMO junkie and RPG girlie though so I can usually find time to go do a bit of SW:tOR or load up one of the many RPGs I have installed.
I go through stages of being bored of gaming, but I think thats most modern games are sequels and they lack something. I play a number of different genres on rotation so I dont get bored. The modern consoles are geared up to play very similar titles with lack of orgininality.
I am enjoying SW:TOR as its my first real MMO, but I am also enjoying playing Jagged Alliance: Back in Action (not played a squad based RTS for a while(not as good as 2). But even though I completed most of the newer sequals ie Skyrim they left me a bit cold. I suggest trying Retro or something you havent played in a while or different genre.
So i haven't bought anything for a month and dont plan to buy any more over the summer either. Waste of money.
But im sure i will be back in the mood soon.
My PSVita is keeping me going at the moment, but I'm sure a big title will come along soon that will reignite my interest between now and when the next-gen arrives. (and I think Ridge Racer Unbounded might just be it)
I tend to rotate between premier manger , lma and football manager lol. Just today i had lma on the go on ps2 and football manager 2012 on the go on pc lol.
I have loads of games I've started but not finished, so it's like I've nothing to play, sometimes I just can't be bothered to waste 2 hours in front of the TV.
For me it beats console gaming, I think for the more mature player anyway. I have Arma2 Operation Arrowhead + Reinforcements, just an example, the game came with a few islands/maps to play on (around 5, all open world areas some really large). The thing that I find completely different to console gaming is the mod communities that gather around many pc games, to cut a long story short I have around 240 mods/addons and over 150 odd islands/maps (open world) to play on, with every type of military hardware, units, etc, scale built recreations, added to the game. I don’t have the time to get bored, just don’t have the time to see and use everything I have downloaded……………
Oh, I’m 53 this year, I reckon I’ll be 55 before I view everything I have downloaded concerning this game. To top that, they have Arma3 coming out later this year….:eek::D:cool:
Bored.. No..:p
Been playing games since the Atari 2600 days..:o
I felt like that at one point. I didn't game for around 3-4 months as I had become so bored with it but then thought about all the Live arcade games I had bought and never played so went back to it. I still don't game as much as I used to but I found that by cutting back on my gaming days I tend to enjoy it more. I now game on a monday, thursday and do a long haul on saturday night into the early hours of sunday morning. At the moment i'm playing modern warfare 3 and heading for Prestige 3 although I still haven't gotten around to playing the arcade games I bought.
I own an Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii but it's the 360 that i game on most. Wii has been put away and the Ps3 sits on the shelf underneath the tv, gathering dust.
BTW i'm 44 and I have been into gaming since around 1978 and i'm always looking for new online friends to game with. Gamertag is xStorm8ringeRx and PSN i.D is xStorm-BringeRx
Nah find it hard to be bored gaming TBH last week i was saving the galaxy with my Shepard, this week I'm shooting robots in Binary Domain or pimping my car in Forza ... and still have a massive back log of games waiting for me ... golden time for gaming for me
