Since breaking my thumb back at the end of Feb I have completely lost my gaming mojo. I just cannot bring myself to pick up a controller and it's been about 15 weeks. I will play when mates are around for a bit of Rainbow 6 or CoD but other than that nada. Help!!!
Gaming mojo - gone gone gone

Registered 8 years agoI still buy all the games but then only play rouge-likes that could have ran on a 1982 mainframe. Seems to me you're doing it right.
You'll be back once something catches your eye. -

You will be on suicide watch for the next 6 months however......"Look at banner Michael!"

Registered 8 years agoI go through this now and again, strangely if I have to many games, and I do not mean on the go, I just mean too many games in the man drawer!
Enjoy a break, masturbate more and have fun...then come back to us
a shameful, sticky mess of a man.

Registered 11 years agoAt home, I have a gaming den, projector, surround sound, all the consoles, retro ones too, scores of games, mini bar, comfortable seats, fuck... there's even a piano and guitar in there. You know what I game on when I go home? My phone. Never used any of it. :/--------------------------------------------------------------------

This happens to me from time to time. Went about 5 months a couple of years ago without picking up a controller but it all started coming back again. I think it can be healthy to have a break from it all for a bit.

Yeah, I took a six-month hiatus from games a couple of years ago or so and found I really enjoyed my games more after that. Plus, you can get so many games for next to nothing as the price has plummeted. After playing Max Payne 3 I decided I needed to do it again and I already have a list of games I will pick up dirt cheap in the New Year.

Already have a PC but that's for programming, haven't played a PC game in years mainly because I spend 8-10 hours a day working on one.

Registered 4 years agoNo point doing a hobby you don't enjoy. Take a break for a while and find another thing to do! Maybe you'll come back to gaming, maybe you won't, fretting about it won't help. -
It's not uncommon for a bit of a lull to occur when playing games. I have the fortunate situation of work and personal projects taking up a lot of time so when I get time to play games I'm all fired up for it, and generally spend as much time as I can spare enthralled in a game.
Sometimes you don't recover from a "break" and fall into the casual bracket. Maybe when some exciting titles come out you'll get back into it. -

Registered 2 years agoIt's fairly easy to see where this thread is going wrong;
"generations"
"controllers"
"call of duty"
Put down the conveyor belt mass market shovelware and do some proper gaming. -
What graysonavich said! Though you need a controller for PS3, but you should play Journey! Also, Lilly Looking Through (point-click adventure) just got fully funded on KickStarter, so expect that coming in the near future too.

Edit: Indie games ftw.

Wouldn't 90% but yes a large amount is shit. The last game i found to be extremely boring/bland/soulles is Infamous 1. Sure it's fun to run around the city but everything else....
I have not entirely lost my Mojo yet, but it is becoming less and less through the course of 2 years. The new Starcraft expansion might just rejuvenate it but it remains to be soon. For now i'm stuck on Football manager. -
I really enjoyed Infamous 1.
