voz1z Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Lately I haven't been able to get myself to play shit. I always have been a gamer but just haven't felt like playing anything current gen anymore other then GTA V. Don't get me wrong, there are some good games coming out like Batman Origins and the South Park game but as of now I feel like I played everything already and am in a gaming funk The wait for next gen seems like it is taking forever. Has anyone been in a funk like this before when you don't feel like playing anything for more then 10 minutes or at all? How do you guys get out of gaming funks? Anyone else in the same boat waiting for next gen? Edited October 21, 2013 by voz1z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminAmy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've hit random gaming walls before... nothing sounds good. Sometimes I just go back to a completed game that I really enjoy (Skyrim, Minecraft) and play for fun until the bug for something new/exciting hits me.

Barad Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've just been playing GTA throughout and it eases the wait quite nicely. If I ever halt in gaming, I jump on Battlefield and everything feels better lol. Just a month left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm in a bit of a gaming slump because many of the games coming out between now and the Xbox One release are games I am planning to get for the Xbox One and don't really want to bother with them on the Xbox 360. I've hit random gaming walls before... nothing sounds good. Sometimes I just go back to a completed game that I really enjoy (Skyrim, Minecraft) and play for fun until the bug for something new/exciting hits me. I usually just end up playing Minecraft on my laptop or finding some indie game or something to play until something catches my attention for the Xbox 360.

crimzontearz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I stopped gaming when I preordered the One and will start again on November 22nd I always do it, each generation, by the time I start gaming again I am more than eager It works in real life too, remember the saying "hunger is the best condiment" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP4 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I hit a wall 1 month ago, I'm getting back into it since I have Batman this week and I bought 6 games today. I'm so excited for next gens I wish it would come sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhitt46 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am in a slump mainly because I waited so long to play games like: Gears of War 3, Fallout 3 and FFXIII. Now I am in panic mode playing as much as I can so that I can get at least one or two of the above mentioned games completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture639 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'll admit that I too was in a bit of a slump during the late summer. However, after joining the GSL competition, it's given me alot of motivation to go back and play some of the things on my backlog that I bought months ago but just didn't have the incentive to play anytime soon (or maybe ever once the Xbox One came out). I also think now is actually a great time to be in a slump because there have been so many amazing games that released just this year that most likely have gone down in price recently (or will during Black Friday) like Tomb Raider, DMC, Dead Space 3, Bioshock Infinite, Metro: Last Light, The Last of Us, Fuse, and Injustice: Gods Among Us just to name a few.

BiggD Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've hit a gaming "slump" or "funk" or whatever the fuck you guys are calling it like last weekend. I'm really not in the mood to play anything new or current. Granted, I'm getting Batman on Friday, but I just wanna enjoy the Single Player and then shelf the game - I don't care about the achievements or other modes that the game offers, unfortunately. Making a new tag and grinding out GTA really drained me out. November 22nd will be nice though (I hope) and I plan to pass the weeks by doing other hobbies that don't relate to gaming; such as reading, hitting the gym with higher intensity, looking for a new job, and teaching my dog new tricks.

crimzontearz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I should have done this. I also do that 2 weeks before any important title I buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voz1z Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I will take some of your guys advice and try playing some minecraft and GTA till Xbox One. I also might try taking a small break untill November 22 & just watch Netflix for the next few weeks. I like the idea of not playing much and then just going crazy when the One comes out.

Darth VeX Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 It works in real life too, remember the saying "hunger is the best condiment" WRONG! Chinese Hot Mustard is the best condiment. --- On a serious note, I've been in a gaming slump since the announce the Xbox One. I still play, but the enthusiasm isn't quite there. It came back for about two weeks when GTA V came out, but then disappeared again once Online launched. Chances are, I'll be in a slump until a few days before the 22nd and then I'll hardly be able to sleep because of the anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkReign2021 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Great. Now you've got me wishing they would make another ToeJam and Earl game >_< Could've used any other word in the dictionary, but you just had to go with Funk... Now I have to add TJ&E3 to my list of games I need to track down (that list is now at 3.) At any rate, I get into this "funk" everytime anything is about to come out. It's a little better since Watchdogs got pushed back and I decided not to get a XB1 at launch, but I can still feel it in the background. At the moment I'm just slowly crawling my way through L.A Noire and nabbing achievements while enjoying the story again. I'll start the miserable grind soon. Just got the new Korn album and waiting for the new Eminem album to release and I'll use them to start grinding for collectibles.

EliteShadowMan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Between Work, Anime, LoL, and a few other games on the side it doesn't seem too bad. Although back near the end of August i was dying for next gen to come quicker. Now i'm just patiently waiting for it and all it's glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Destiny Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have fallen into the same mood, lately i cant be bothered to play anything, in fact i haven't played now for a week or so. I feel that all current games have reached the expiry point and i feel no need to play them any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
