Gaming slump

[Captain Awesome]

When was the last time you were caught in a slump/pattern?

It doesn't matter if it was only playing one game for a long time or a horrible losing streak in a specific game, I'd like to hear about it.

Being broke right now i haven't gotten that much new games so the best i can do is try to 100% as many of my games as possible.

 

[Skorpyo]

Right now.

Been playing too much F.E.A.R. and Splinter Cell, can't seem to be any good at all in online play in any of my games.

It's pretty bad, starting to turn me into a loner.

 

[pyrosaw]

I feel Fantastic!....ly terrible. I'm stuck in all of my games

In Team Fortress 2, as a sniper, my aim has been notoriously inconsistent since the spy/sniper update rolled along. Everyday, it's something new. Either I'm destroying everything and making the enemy team ragequit, or I'm the one being destroyed and ragequitting.

I also seemed to have lost my multiplayer spark in Starcraft 2. Now, I'm nothing special, I usually play against bots with my friends, but I can't seem to get things going like I used to. Before, I could at least 3 void rays built (I go for void rays right from the beginning) before the bots even made their first attack. Now, I'm lucky to even get 1 out before me or one of my allies get attacked. I've lost the ability to effectively manage my economy, and I don't know how.

Right now. I'm slowly getting out of it with about 50-ish hours of gaming in the past month but before those I hadn't played a hardcore game in over a calendar year. Just my ex-flatmate's Wii titles and Facebook games.

Haven't really done a whole lot of gaming lately. Just don't really feel like it.

 

[teqrevisited]

In one now. I want to buy a new PC to get up to date but I've got driving lessons to pay for then a car then insurance and a college course on top of that...

 

[Chainsauce]

Right before I got a PC again. Buying great, varried and cheap games on Steam cures any boredom.

I'm in a slump right now.

Really it's just gaming all together. I've been gaming non stop my entire life, and I'm getting bored with it. Every now and then a title comes along that reminds me why I play, but those are few and far between

 

[stutheninja]

well im kind of in one now, after i beat Red Dead extremely quickly( and at a detriment to my health) i purchased crackdown 2. this game in a nutshell cause me to go into a kind of catatonic state in which I, devote video game enthusiast, no longer enjoyed gaming a ton. all i play now is the orange box and have no intention of buying any up coming games, though at one point i was. i can see no way to break myself from this current state, and it scares me. of course im not a hermit, i have friends and hangout with them regularly, but gaming helped fill the in between area which inevitably will occur. now i feel i must solve this conundrum soon, or i will simply give up on gaming, an activity which helped shpe who i am since before i can remember.

P.S. sorry for the out pouring of my deepest heartfelt feeling on this subject, but you gotta do it every once in awhile, reminds me im human.

I'm in one now. My Xbox 360 recently Red-Ringed, so I'm left with my collection of PS2, Gamecube and Wii titles to occupy my free time. I was going through my New Game Plus file of Wind Waker up until a couple of days ago, when my memory card became corrupted. From there, I figured I'd give the Wii version of Twilight Princess another go, but quit after two days for the same reason I quit last time I tried to finish it. From there, it's just been kinda dry.

 

[TerranReaper]

I'm rather bored of everything right now and can't really get past the menu screen before I just quit =\.

 

[Nostalgia Ripoff]

I'm in a huge slump right now. *Breaths in* I give all my Wii games to my brother a year ago to bring to my Dad's house. He skips bringing them to my Dad's and brings them to his friends house. This didn't bother me too much because I never used it. Then I lend him my PS2 for two weeks saying he'd bring it back. Then he borrows the Wii because his friend got FIFA 11 on it so he wants to bring it over to play it. 2 weeks later I find out he sold both my PS2 and Wii, and has no idea where the Wii games are. He tries to make it up to me by buying another Wii off his friend and giving it to me along with $20 to replace some of the Virtual Console stuff. I was only able to get 4 things, when I owned 7. I still haven't gotten my PS2 back, and the other day my PS3 yellow lighted.

Samesys. None of my games seem appealing to play at the moment and I feel there are more important things happening in my life to concern myself with gaming. This will change when all the autumn games are released though. XD

 

[Aethren]

I was in a slump, then I discovered Minecraft.

Best 13 USD ever spent.

 

[Alandoril]

Not really in a slump...some great offers on Steam, Mafia 2 on the way, also playing Bioshock and Dead Space. Waiting for a decent MMO to come out though, as I've got a hankering for healing/support. And LOADS of games coming out in the winter/spring period that are just going to nomnomnom my wages.

Although I must say I am a bit preoccupied with the question of whether to update my PC or buy a 360/PS3...They're all tempting options right now.

 

[The_Deleted]

Right now!
Been gaming straight for a good few months but am now getting into my drawing!

I think it's that time of year again, were everybody and there dog is in a slump.

Yesterday I went to get a new game and as I stood there looking at what they had, I just kept thinking "nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope" till in the end I sold my soul and pre ordered black ops.

I am not bored of my games per se, just want something new. You know that feeling of not knowing whats going to happen next or finding a new feature in a game, like blowing up a wall an enemy was hiding behind in battlefield for the first time.
