We could share stories or tips on how to overcome burnout and be able to enjoy games again. People could recommend games they have been playing for hours despite burnout.
Even thinking about making this a general in /vg/ but wanted to try here first.

Sure, I really enjoyed Paradise but I don't know if it's worth picking up again on PS4 when I already got some fun out of it on PS3. Wish they'd make a new one.

Whenever I get burnt out on games I just binge making music and whip out an album in two weeks. This usually happens every 4-6 months. Then I come back to games. Playing experimental indie horror or just indie games usually helps with game boredom. A lot of the high budget games involve killing, and that gets tiresome.

>hear people say how good *insert game here* is >check out a video or two to make sure. >people seem to like it >try it out and it's pretty shit and i'm already bored halfway through >go on Zig Forums and see anons say "well it gets better x hours in, trust me" >it doesn't, stop playing and repeat
I feel like learning anything nowadays is a lot more difficult due to information overload. there's so much to learn, the wrong and right ways always contradictory

I only own a handful of ps4 games and I just rotate them, dont get in the habit of constantly buying more. Also i'm most motivated to play in the mornings so at night i dont force myself to.

there is no right or wrong answer in life op you just have to pursue it. A skill doesn't have to be taught to you, just do something else. Order some modeling clay, get a bike and get into biking around. Breaking up the monotony of gaming makes a lot of games a better experience. You'd get bored of watching TV all together if it's all you did all day long and didn't do anything else in between. Try a little, user, you can do it
I have decided to try out making models on blender as a new hobby

Does it count as burnout if I still play one videogame. Like I play exclusively dota 2 every day, and I want to play other games, but I just can't, as if I had burnout.

I've mastered several instruments, write novels as well as 10 songs a week, and video game burnout is still a thing. the best thing to do is to take a couple weeks off.

part of the burnout is the fact that "the" video game "culture" sucks as a result of capitalism. basically it got harder and harder to survive in this world as a maladjusted misanthrope obsessed with video games. you have to be some sort of feminized ultra-agreeable passive aggressive type-A sociopath to get a job/survive in this world so now all games suck. you can't look at the games that came out in 1996/1997 and look at the industry today and deny that it is all godawful today. these games aren't fun they are at this point not-even-working garbage like anthem they are like giant ponzi schemes of tech demos and aids.
if we had UBI then there would probably be 100x as many video game developers and you could have 100x as many autists making games. as it is now they probably have to commit suicide or get a job doing data entry or something.

You bunch of mongoloids. You don't have video game burnout, you're on Zig Forums too fucking much. Even if you don't participate or agree with all the negativity and shitposting, it gets to you and you dig a rut that eventually you associate with video games too. Get the fuck off of here, and stay off until you find a game all by yourself that you enjoy then come back. Limiting your time to this urine soaked hell hole will increase your love for games by a lot.
trying a genre you've never played before, beating a game you've played and you know you enjoyed, take a long break, play something online with friends. It happened to me a couple of years ago and those tips helped
