Not enjoying games recently...time for self imposed hiatus?

[BRR]

I still play COD BO2 on the PS3 online sometimes, it's difficult playing it for an hour every few weeks as typically i'll just get destroyed but it's still a fun game and the peak of the COD series IMO.

I recently picked up an XBOX One, a thrustmaster steering wheel and Assetto Corsa, absolutely love it and find it genuinely exciting to play. I've ordered an XBOX One X but that's mainly so I can play more sim games like this but with 4K to make the most of my TV

I really can't be bothered with the likes of Far Cry etc anymore as there's just too much boring crap (crafting?) and not enough doing fun stuff

Surely the answer is to investigate something different than the next sequel to the same old franchise?
It's like watching nothing but Michael bay films and declaring cinema is st.

I find myself not playing nearly as much as I used to either.

Slightly ashamed to admit I also haven't really read all the posts in here in full but I'd echo the comments about modern gaming not being what it used to be. For me as a 40 year old male, I think the things I loved about gaming when I was a kid and in early adulthood are probably not found so much in modern games; they just cater to a different generation. The big titles generally don't interest me, I don't particularly enjoy gaming online (because assholes, mostly) and I just don't have the same free time and energy I had before marriage and kids etc.

One thing I would suggest to the OP and others in the same situation is to maybe go and try and style of game you haven't already, or have a dig through some of the Indie titles on Steam. I'm not normally into puzzle games but I loved RIME. Been enjoying Volume, Limbo and a couple of other indie titles on Steam lately as well.

Could just be time for a change, rather than a rest.
