Basically I'm bored, bored because I've played all my games - and I have bought about 10 new ones since the start of the year. I have about 50 PC games in total, dating back to mid-ninties but the majority of my pc games are from the last five years or so.
However it seems no sooner have I bought a new pc game that I've done it and seen everything there is to see, or if I haven't just can't be bothered to because it just isn't good enough to keep me playing - although this is rare as I have finished every story driven game I own.
The games I used to play like age of empires, unreal tournament, morrowind, neverwinter nights etc. kept me playing for years. I literally spent six years playing aoe2 online, the same for UT, and hundreds of hours on the various morrowind games.
I find games now keep me entertained for two or three months at most and then are cast aside, because I'm bored of them. Then despite having a large pile of games, all of which I've played to death or am bored of, I find myself waiting for the next game that has peaked my interest, only to no doubt have the same process happen again. The last game that kept me playing for a lengthy time was cod4 - for two years, but since then nothing - and before that I can't even remember.
An example being I've played ME2 through twice, but even this only amounts to about 60 hours playtime and a third playthrough isn't appealing, because I know the story and there's not enough variation in the story or the gameplay to make a third playthrough interesting.
Does anyone else find themselves searching relentlessly for games that they might have missed in the hope of finding something that can fill the gap until the next game you're waiting for comes out, despite knowing you've played everything you want to play.
Mafia 2 is the latest example, as good as it is - there's no replayability and I think, whats the point?
