anyone quit video gaming?

[clanger091]

I'm strongly considering it, i stopped for some time due to wasting time reasons, but found if it isnt gaming, then it's something else. heres what i've come up with so far

cons

- get angry at a computer/ tv screen
- waste a lot of time
- Not really improving or enjoying life to the fullest

pros
- good way to unwind
- fun

[butwhowasfeel]

i quit for like a year and half a while ago. but thats cuz i had to get a lot of chit done and was focused on my career

i think its fine to game every once in a while but as you mentioned, you should try to live life to the fullest and go out and do things (if possible)

but theres nothing wrong with gaming if you're having fun

[Lexira]

I stopped. But the reason I did so is because I am no longer having any fun playing video games for some reason.

I wish if I could enjoy playing video games again. Don't care how much time I will waste

[Codyisback]

I don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, don't eat meat (no not Mormon), currently trying to cut down on caffeine (don't drink coffee or tea but eat chocolate), only listen to classical music (no lyrics), don't play videogames, don't watch tv and don't do any drugs. Most of my time is honestly spent on working (making money), reading and learning (stock market, mathematics etc.).

I quit taking them seriously a while ago still play casually to unwind but cut back immensely on how many hours I play there are times I won't play for a few weeks where that was unheard of 5+ years ago lol

I remember when I was a kid going on vacations to the beach for a week or w/e I was fine because I had the beach but as soon as we were on our way home I would realize I haven't played in a week and start losing my mind the entire ride home. When I got home didn't even unpack just ran in and started playing, bad days of school were similar it was REALLY bad lmfao

kind of...
the urge to play always comes up strong whenever I have to do chit I'd rather not do (studying, etc.), but on days where I'm not doing jack chit I don't feel like playing video games at all
feels weird mane

i feel you brah. it's dat procrastination lifstyle mane

[schlitta]

I just got sick of the BS of CoD, same chit every release, and the waste of money on xbox live and warcraft. I've also been way too busy in life anyway with work and school. I prefer to read now, it actually betters me as a person

[Msti]

As my life got more interesting I stopped gaming as much. But do miss it a little bit. Would probably play again if I could get to the skill level I was at back then but that isn't possible when I was putting in 8 hours plus a day. Also can't afford an xbox one. Its been about 3-4 years since I played properly

[xslick]

Games stopped being fun for me when I turned 21

[rdwire88]

bought a ps4 destiny bundle, played it for a few months, now i only use ps4 for netflix...

that too lol

[SuperDick1234]

yea but i only played one game seriously just madden 07 and 08. i thought it was too much bull**** to catch up and learn a whole new game and scheme to every year i wanted to master one but have it stay relevant

[mrkotfw]

I remember those Friday evenings, my mom would take me and my brother to go rent an N64 game for the weekend. I remember I was about 13 playing over 200 hours of Final Fantasy VIII during the summer...



Now, I have 400+ games and play once a week, for like an hour and during that time I think about all the **** I have to do...

[TheFeels]

I put some real life goals in place and don't have any time to play at the minute. inb4 why are you miscing... I misc during my study breaks. I get a few hours of football manager in most weekends though

And then you spoil it by browsing the Misc.

Chit I would game all the time if I still had a console

Brb Racing games
Brb NHL 15

[Cfitz717]

I did. Was legit addicted to CoD. Bought the PS3, PS4, even paid 200 dollars to get CoD early 2 years in a row. I haven't played a video game in almost 1.5 years now.

[Sinan09400]

I did after playing a highly modded skyrim for one month marathon. Fukking sh.t made me miss 2 parties with lots of 5/10 sloots

Gamefree for 2 weeks now. No regrets.

[randomguy2323]

I played like 2 months ago... I haven't really quit, just nothing really good that's out imo. plus as I get older, in general they're not as fun as before. but another big part of it is that the games aren't that good.

if cod 4 was remade I would play it. tried to buy it on steam. but steam or activision sucks and the game didn't work. some bs error that I tried a million times to fix.

Resistance fall of man was goat. cod 4. gta 3-sa. the first dark souls. the last of us, etc. I was playing dark souls 2 a bit, and the new assassins creed, but got bored quick.

until mkx comeout

How'd you get that PS1 disc to play in that 64 brah? Mirrin

How are you finding it?

[DoUEvenDrift]

Quality of games is going down.

[disphugginflip]

I did, but not because I wanted to. But because it got boring to me. I bought an Xbone, Halo:MCC, 1 year membership to XBL, only to play the game fless than 5 hours and then never pick it up again.

I will say this, when FFXV comes out, ill be playing the fcuk out of it.

[sff4]

games definitely get less fun as you get older. you also just feel like theyre a waste of time more. you can afford to piss away your teens playing games, not so much your 20s

I never played it anymore because I wasn't going to pay for xbox live

Kind of miss it though

[MurphDirtyX]

DarkSouls 2
Skyrim
Fallout
StreetFighter
CODghosts

Only games I've played in years, nothing else seemed worth the time

[100emoji]

Guess I just grew out of it, because I don't find it as fun as I used to.

I can't play anything for more than half an hour without getting bored to death.
