Gaming loses its attraction for me - Anyone else?

Happens to me from time to time, I normally just take up a new hobby for a while but I always come back to gaming after a while, 3 months is probably the longest I've spent away

I feel the same way sometimes.

It must be because there are very few genuinley unique games nowadays.

If something is kind of new, then it is very appealing. I am having a blast on Little Kings Story because I have never played anything like it.

And Flower, that was a magical gaming session.

Yes. I am having to force myself to play the few games I currently have and have felt like this for about a year. Nothing is really motivating me either. My 360 died nearly 2 months ago and I have not bothered to replace it yet. My PS3 just gathers dust. I have got back in to films in an big way and I am using all my spare TV time watching films on my Media Player. The most gaming I probably do is on my Ipod Touch and even that is very sporadic.

3 years with better things to do followed by 17 years with nothing better to do...... what a waste of 17 years....

I often feel like you in the summer but a week without my 360 has made me appreciate it even more. Especially as unlike the usual summer drought, I actually still have games to finish.

Nah - it just took three years for him to figure out that the "better" things he had to do weren't actually all that much better.

The last game I bought was Street Fighter IV and the horrible online community that, and indeed many games has, has killed off my interest in gaming for the time being.

I'm sure within a few months I'll be picking up the dozens of games I've not bothered with for the last couple of years on the cheap.

Meh, I'm at the age where if I stay in playing games I'll regret it. I play a bit of LBP most days because my PS3's in my lounge now, so it's nice to lay on the sofa and play for a bit.

My 360 has been broken for ages and was only sent off last week and my Wii is barely used. I'll fall back in love with gaming, I just don't want to right now.
