Playing/Not Playing, what to do, what to do....

11/10/09 12:41 am | #1

I recently found out about Perfect Dark Zero achievements, and the lack of the need to do them online. I had done some through online games already, but the ability to sit at my computer and hit B then Start every 45 secs or so to rack up games played is just a continuation on my lack of desire to play anything right now.

I just got off a stint of 6 starring all GH5 songs with a fan too, so the last couple days I have sat doing something else other than playing, all the while hearing the game in the background.

Anybody else experienced periods of a lack of will to play anything? I'm sure it will pass as soon as I pop in Dragon Age, but right now I am happy right where I am.

I get this whenever I finish a game, especially if it's particularly long or difficult. After I finish, I inevitably wind up throwing about five or six games in trying to see if something sticks. Sometimes it takes two or three days before I find one to play.

I feel ya man. I have not really played to much xbox lately. Lack of games/desire to get achievements (besides those given to me through the waffle thread) has plagued me for the last few months. Although that will all change tomorrow with my copy of MW2!

I did play the crap out of Borderlands and DJ Hero, so that may be what led to my lack of interest. I was on a roll on Dragon Age, but then I found out about the level glitch... I just couldn't help trying it out (I had a level 12 Dwarven Warrior, but then glitched up a rogue to try it out). Now I enjoy my rogue, but will restart (and delete level 23 rogue) and do the game legitimately for max enjoyment. I don't think I want to go back to the Dwarf due to my noobish skill distribution. I understand the game better after high level experimentation.

I finally finished up Modern Warfare 1000G recently, I was at 410G and just spent a couple days going through. It really is not that hard, MHC only took about 5 tries. It did remind me how awesome that single player is though, so while I do not plan on getting MW2 day one, I will end up getting it soon.

Anyway, I guess I will play some Guitar Hero 5 and see if that sparks the passion.

I've had that happen some times as well, where I just don't feel like playing anything for like a day or two. Or some times, I want to play a game with easy achievements, so I can have a higher GS.

Ive had a constant stream of games every week, so ive never really gotten bored. And I have about 5 more on the way, not including MW2.

I'm going through this now. I had an enormous bubble of happiness gaming playing borderlands until I beat it. The ending was such a let down I sat on my couch with my mouth open going WTF kinda ending was that. I dunno. I got saw and mini ninjas to play through and some games to mop up so ill pop out of my gaming depression lol.

The ending wasn't the best, but it was to be expected. I mean, you happen to be opening Pandora's box... I mean vault. >_>

On a unrelated matter, I got the 808 stars in GH5. Now just need to throw together a band to get the remaining, and I should come out with 1000 soon.

Ask Xc Livewire cX, he didn't play for like 5 months and played for a day last week and hasn't played since. Personally I'm bored if I'm not doing something, so xbox keeps me unbored. Otherwise if I'm outside or something I don't need to play xbox. I've gone for a few weeks without xbox and had no problems but I started to want to play again so I did

I've been turning my 360 on, loading up my game and then just not having the drive to play for a couple of days now. It's sad. I think I'm just overtired.

I do the exact same thing! :laugh:

:laugh:

I turn it on, and go to my computer while loading, two hours later I go turn it off after tiring of hearing the same looping menu music. The worst part is there are other things I could be doing (like studying for Midterms or actually going to class, its like University has made me lazy with choice), but I don't feel like doing those either.

I often don't play, but the longest I've gone without at least turning on the Xbox is like a month... which of course was not my doing (hardware failure, two times).

Yesterday I was super bored. So I was like I'll play dead rising so I installed it to my hard drive. After the installation I didn't want to play anything so I deleted it, and watched American Beauty.

I feel like I played all the games I've wanted to play.
