Am I insane?

[HLDDavid]

With the completion of my video gaming platform(Its not Uber, but I made it the way I wanted it), Im suddenly not very interested in games anymore. Im tired of shooting Nazis, Zombies, Aliens, Terrorists, Counter-Terrorists, Engineers, Demo-Guys, Medics, Covenant. Im tired of farming, Mining, building armies and attacking. Im tired of paying to play, Im tired of fighting. I was really really really looking forward to this year when I would have my computer completed, and suddenly now that its completed, Im lacking any energy to play the games I drooled on and waited for. I think Im really tired of spending 50$ and not getting more than 20 hours out of a game.

Is there anyone else out there? Or am I all alone going crazy?

I feel that way about first-person shooters sometimes, but there are always good role-playing games (Fallout 1-2, Planescape:Torment, etc.), squad-level tactical combat (Jagged Alliance 2, the upcoming UFO Aftermath), space shooters (still need to get Freespace 2), mech games (haven't played Mechwarrior 4 yet) etc. etc.

Perhaps you just need to try some new genres and/or get some of the old classics that aren't as pretty as this weeks' flavor but whcih have the solid game design that made them so well-liked.

Perhaps you are now a 'pacifist'(oppose war or violence).

All kidding aside I agree with Dave S., maybe try something different because it sounds like you are bored.

Take a break. Couple months later, try gaming again. That usually works for me.

Are you insane? There is only "ONE" way to tell.

Why don't you visit the DC Forum and see if anything there floats your boat ?

The applicable word for you is not insane but jaded.

get a copy of system shock 2 for cheap

wet your pants, change them, feel relieved that $5 shook you up and gave you something to do

try different genres where fighting isnt the idea. sim city 4 looks good

ive found i enjoy shoots when i play with people i know, a clan, something like that. maybe you just need to go outside for a bit, read a book, make fun of people at starbucks, and then youll want to be at the computer again just in time for half life 2 and doom 3

Nope, you aren't crazy. There just isn't much to get excited about on the PC. Until Halo (multiplayer) came out, I haven't played a PC game in months.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is coming out soon... That'll be 30-60 hours of sheer gaming enjoyment!

waiting for that one myself, looks great
im currently half-addicted to enemy territory, i dont play it to 1 in the morning in 2-4 hour shots now, but i still play it alot. wouldnt play it without a clan and a clan server though, but with a good team its a very good game for free
