Do you ever get bored of playing videogames?

[mOB]

This is a common question that either our friends, or our family has asked us at least once.

When I was more of a child and I was in highschool, my mother always asked me if I never get bored of playing; my answer was clear and direct: No! And many years late I still play videogames (even if it's way less hours haha).

What about you?

There are times where you kind of get bored of the current games that you have. Had a brief period a week or two ago where I just couldn't be bothered to play anything. But you do get interested in gaming again after a few days off.

No, not really. I mean I do sometimes get bored of playing the same game but generally, no. I enjoy gaming. It's fun to switch off and get into a fantasy world. I do enjoy my competitive gaming, Rocket League is up there.

Yeah, this happens to me as well. I usually have a couple/three games, which are by the way kind of different styles - so when I get bored of one, I usually switch to another one. But yeah, sometimes I get that feeling that I don't really want to play video games. But I wouldn't say it's "getting bored of the games I've got", but more of a "well, I've played too much, I need a bit of a break".

Competitive gaming is awesome! Best experience you can have playing video games in my honest opinion!

It really is awesome. It gives you a reason to keep playing. I love being able to play against experienced players and trying to best against them. Counter-Strike ,COD and the like are super fun!

When I was in teens, I played until I was tired to death. However, these days, I play once or twice a week, and when I am playing  do not play more than 90 minutes. Therefore, I never get bored of playing video games.

I am not an avid gamer like most so I would say I don't get bored as often. Maybe that is why as well. Because I don't play it all the time, it becomes a nice little reprieve my husband & I do playing games together. Does that work for others as well?

I don’t religiously play either, so I don’t often get bored.

I am at a point where I still appreciate games but can't motivate myself to complete any title. I think this issue(for myself) is based in the fact that I identify as a gamer. A 25 year history feels hard to walk away from. Plus it's how my friends and I connect since they're also gamers.
