Well tbh all the big games for me has arrived. Being Elden ring one of them & also Sekiro was one. But i cant manage to suck myself in to the games. Get distracted & unmotivated quickly

I'm almost 27 but I think what influences the most is your day to day life, if you work, if you spend your day outside the house, if you're tired at the end of the day, family problems, etc. Because you can be 27 and still have that college life eheh

I forgot to say that I play RPG's which require more attention and focus because of the story. I also like to feel immersed in the game world which is more difficult if I'm feeling tired or anxious. When I'm in one of those "worst" phases I usually play lighter games like play fifa or nba 2k.

I've been like this for years try some linear story based game, open world games now overwhelm me because I don't have the time to play them properly. Open world used to be my favourite but I just can't seem to get into them now. I just started resident evil 2 again and I'm loving it, hour here hour there it's enjoyable and scary with headphones on lol

Also try audio books I find them just as enjoyable as games now, I listen them on my way to work and at work and sometimes in bed lol. Some are awesome

Same, it feels like games dont bring that much pleasure and fun anymore.

i play random stuff like eversoul on bluestacks just to still play "something", but anything new that's a singleplayer proper game i try just doesn't click and i end up quitting after like a few days...

Can I ask how old are you? Do you work?

I play games since I was 9/10 years old. I noticed a while ago, as I started working a 9-6pm job and working out at the gym that i'm not as "emotional available" to playing games as I was before.

It's normal to be stressed and tired and because of that you can't focus like before. But i'm still stubborn enough and I still game at the end of the day :)

Could be just a phase

Try tabletop games to change things up. As in stuff with board/cards instead of a screen. If you can't find people to play with they make stuff with singleplayer options these days. Like for example I was in a similar situation recently and decided to try the "old fashioned" ways just to have a break from the screen. Felt pretty good and doing it and even started to get more interested in video games again after the break. Check out your local gamestores or online, maybe google to see what's soloable.

Cod is not a simulation, nor is it trying to be. I understand where you’re coming from, but it’s like you’re comparing driver’s ed software to need for speed. Obviously the program that helps you learn to do a thing is going to be more helpful than a pure entertainment product that makes no attempt at accuracy.
