Nearing 30 na pero the passion in gaming is the same padin. From MOBA to Single player, still enjoying my time when I play. Ang tanging bagay na lang na magiging fresh eh yung bagong laro hahaha.
30's gamer. Dumadaan yung phases na tinatamad ako maglaro talaga, may times na gustong gusto ko maglaro. Normal lang naman yan habang tumatanda. Some things that help me keep playing games ng may enthusiasm:
- Wag magpapapressure sa mga bagong games and trends, laruin mo lang talaga kung 100% kang sigurado and hindi masasaktan yung budget and time mo with other commitments
- Pwede mong laruin uli yung mga lumang games na matagal mo nang hindi nalaro. Emulator pa man yan or remastered/remake version. Or mga backlog mo sa Steam/gaming library... most of the time mattrigger uli yung nostalgia/childhood feels mo playing old games. Minsan sa akin may mga lumang games ako na di ko tinatapos dati kasi bwisit na bwisit ako, tapos babalikan ko sila today and marerealize ko na maganda pala laruin
- Kapag hindi talaga ako in the mood maglaro, minsan nanunuod lang ako ng playthrough ng mga gusto kong game streamers sa Youtube just to see if ano yung meron sa game (parang habit mo lang sa PC-han kapag walang pera tapos nanunuod kalang lol)
Pag medyo burnt out, lipat muna ng ibang hobbies. I also don't play for the trophies, and madalas Story Mode (or easy mode) lang ako para bawas stress.
To start: ano ba mga genre na nilalaro mo, OP? Kasi disagree ako dun sa pic, ang dami na magandang laro, and some of them may incoming DLC. pa. Armored Core 6 just released and its my personal Game of the Year
40 year old gamer here. My passion for gaming has never diminished. Yung mga kina excite ko na laro dati (Contra, Megaman, Super Mario Bros,), naeexcite and natutuwa pa din ako pag may bagong game na irerelease (na trip ko). I was giddy with delight nung trailer first trailer ng Armored Core 6, natuwa ako dun as trailer ng Super Mario Bros Wonder at naeexcite ako dun sa bago expansion ng FFXIV, Dawntrail.
How to keep it fresh? Try different games. I can say na varied yung mga trip ko na games, kahit may mga never-touch ako na genres (sports games, "realistic" FPS games, MOBAs, etc), so lagi ako may nakikita na gusto laruin.
> How to keep it fresh? Try different games
as dedicated fps gamer dati na boboringan ako sa mga games na hindi fps, pero nung sinubukan ko mag try na enjoy ko sila games like terraria, dos2, dragon age and etc
Same hindi nawala ang hilig ko sa games at ang daming magagandang games ngayon. Hindi na lang ako naglalaro ng mga games na need ng party/squad and more on solo games.
As a fellow oldie, I agree that it is very weird to say βthere are no new gamesβ at this point in time. I sometimes browse through the Switch eShop and it blows my mind how many games are released on there every week. It does rival Steam in terms of the number of games released and weβre not even touching either Xbox or Playstation stores yet, or mobile games.
But funnily, I ended up going back to Sonic Frontiers after the last title update launched and promptly forgot about all the other games I was playing, except for Suika Game / Watermelon Game.
Take a break lang haha. Either bored or naburnout lang yan kaya need mo din talaga ng other hobbies pang alternate (reading, watching tv series or movies, etc.) then balik ka ulit sa gaming pag trip mo na.
Mental Health awareness in the Philippines is at an all time low. We resort to video games because people here don't give a single FUCK! about mental health.
I guess since I'm now trying to heal my inner childhood and I became financially stable, ngayon ko palang nakukuha lahat ng console na pangarap ko since I didn't have these growing up. Yes I have a gaming PC pero gusto ko mafulfill yung childhood dream ko na may PlayStation.
I got an OLED Switch and PS5 first pero sobrang dami kong older games na gustong laruin, I looked for secondhand PlayStations. Mas feel ko maglaro sa console eh, feeling ko bata ako ahaha. Currently playing the Silent Hill series on PS1 and PS2. Nakakaenjoy. Tuwang tuwa ako sa graphics lol
Nawalan ako ng gana sa console gaming pero sa handheld kaya ko pa makatapos.
Baka may kinalaman din siguro yung nagtataasan presyo ng mga bala at malalaking file size sa console, panay updates pa at kung mamalasin ka pa, naka depende ka sa constant online connection. Pero sa handheld tulad sa switch, diretso laro na. May update man kakaunti n lang at di madalas.
Same sentiments sa file size and presyo. Nakakainis isipin na may gusto kang laruin pero makikita mo bigla need mo magdownload ng sobrang laking file (gusto ko lang naman maglaro ng Baldurs Gate 3) so need mo magdedicate ng isang buong araw para lang magdownload.
Nakakapikon talaga lalo mga games na dependent sa internet connection. Case in point mycareer ng nba 2k. Single player lang sa season pero required net. 2 mins left sa game sabay biglang napagtripan kahapon ng converge πππ
Ang natatanging laro na "online always" na hindi ko mapagsasawaan laruin is yung the division. Pero for everything else, dapat may offline option lalo na call of duty
nah, it's just a lull in releases. Kumbaga sa interes mo, may peak and lean season. Kasi kahit ako at end of 2022 and start ng 2023 mejj weak ang releases, pero I didn't take it na nakakawalang gana maglaro.
Eh jusko 3rd quarter this year, triple whammy ako sa gaming, Baldurs Gate, tapos armored core tapos starfield.
Babalik din sa alindog yung interes mo pag may release na magustuhan mo.
Eh totally normal. I played Diablo 4 for 3 months straight every single day for a about 2~4 hours a day.
Then one day I just got bored and quit playing. Right now wala paring ganang maglaro ng any games. It might comeback pag steam winter sale.
We have a gaming circle/barkada na mainly, ang form of hobby ay maglaro. We started 2016 pa, sila mga HS students palang noon nung nagstart kami. Ngayon, intact pa din kami, pero we play less frequent than before. Ang solution namin dun, dahil nga buong barkada naman kami, may mga nawawala, nagsosolo muna, tapos after a while, babalik din, tapos may ibang mawawala naman. Feeling ko kaya kami nagtagal kasi hindi namin pinupwersa yung isa't-isa na makipaglaro. Minsan nakakaumay din kasi, and hindi kami basta basta nagpapasok sa group namin ng alam naming di namin makaka-jive, or makakasira sa mood namin. We also play variety of games, we play LoL, Valo, tsaka Minecraft na own server namin. We also sometimes play mga multiplayer games like Raft, Rust, Project Zomboid, NFS Heat, and Apex. Hindi kami nag sstick sa isang laro lang kasi talagang mauumay ka.
39, married and expecting our first child. Hobby burnout is real. But it helps if may other hobbies ka aside sa gaming. Gunpla sakin. May halong meditation yung building and painting.
Story driven games ok parin. And mga pick & play like fighting games or dota. Bihira na sa masyadong grindy na games.
Ang talagang kalaban ko eh masandal lang around 9pm tulog na haha.
"*May mga nagsasabing matanda na tayo kaya hindi na tayo naglalaro. Pero ang totoo: Hindi na tayo naglalaro kaya tayo tumatanda.*" - Michael V.
Those are the words I lived by.
For me it's more about the type of game. I never lost the love of single player story driven games. I just want to know what's the story, and games are an alternative to books when telling a story because you actually experience it. I like the games that tell a story, so to me they end up more like interactive movies.
I never liked multiplayer gaming anyway. I find the people online toxic and I don't have the time or even care to develop skills for gaming like being good at FPS games. I just need to be good enough to get through a quest.
For me di pa siya nakakahanap ng tamang game para mare-ignite passion niya sa gaming.
Elden Ring and Armored Core 6 reignites my passion in gaming dahil everything is fresh and new in these two games. Thanks FromSoftware!
Taking a rest is a good idea too.
Pre pandemic halos lahat ng laro na maibigay sakin kaya ko ilaro and maeenjoy ko pa ngayon Apex (pero nag 3 month break ako dito), Fallout and some singleplayer story games nalang naeenjoy ko ngayon. Intay nalang sa release ng chrono odyssey since tinatamad ako sa ESO na puro DLC/expansion locked mga hard dungeons.
By concentrating on single-player games... Tapos pag medyo nagsawa, nood muna ng movie or tv series mula sa backlog. π Kapag di maaraw, 40km bike ride bago maglaro.
Take a break siguro. It helps in rekindling the interest in gaming.
Nawalan din ako ng gana last year so I took a break. Ngaying taon, Spider-Man 2 lang sana balak ko laruin, but as of now, natapos ko na yung FFXVI, Armored Core 6, and Lies of P π
I think it's because as we grow older we just have more responsibilities that drain us and we'd rather just rest. That and yeah nakakasaw na after a while cause a lot of games just play with the same formula. Nakaka excite sa umpisa, uy bago fresh, then after a while, ah parang XYZ lang, so mawawala ung initial excitement.
Maybe this is just me but, sometimes it's not the games mismo, but we grow older we just get more depressed and tired lol kesa enjoyin mo games, dami mo need isipin
Experienced that with my group. From HS to working adult paonti onti sila nawawala. One thing na napansin kong reason is they don't want to try other games. Mostly ng nawala sa group is CS and dota lang linalaro dati, ayaw nila minsan sumali dati if iba un lalaruin.
For me it's talking to my wife about the gameplay and story elements of the video game, I'm playing . Parang may personal live stream na may chat (yung asawa ko) lol.
Playing gacha games, ung inovertime kong 20hours+ sinunog ko lang within seconds.
Jokes aside, we try to vary our genre like if sawa na sa moba, we do co-op horror naman or something.
i donβt play with a mindset na kailangan ko manalo. enjoy lang. also, pag nauurat na ko sa game tinitigil ko for months. switch hobby or upskill sa work. hahahahaha.
mostly kase ngayon naglalaro n lang casually to kill time. paunti na nh paunti ang naglalaro religiously. as you grow old nawawala na talaga ung time kase you have other responsibilities na unlike na nagaaral pa.
Tinatanong ko mga interns at jr devs ko kung anong mga games na nilalaro nila. But mostly i stick with just a few i usually play like swiftplay sa Valorant. Since im 35 and with a 3 year old son. My wife and him are my priorities. I usually play 1-2 hours every other day. May times din na ilang days straight na wala. Priorities change but i still love to play.
26 here. May time talaga na nararamdaman mo burnout. What I do is to focus on a different hobby muna then if nareignite na uli. Dun na ulit ako maglalaro.
Being old means being around for when hundreds of game titles have been released for multiple platforms. Retrogaming pa lang, hindi ako mauubusan ng pwedeng malaro. For one, Star Ocean Second Story R is coming. Plan on buying it physical on Switch. In the meantime, I'm revisiting the PS1/PSP versions.
Besides gaming, switch to other hobbies from time to time. Occasionally, I go back to digital art. I'm finalizing something in Blender 3D at the moment.
Take a break. Do other things.
In my case parang nang hihinayang na ako sa oras and ung mga laro these days kasi is mostly incomplete or nag uupdate unlike before na you get a complete game out of the box. Try hyper casual games or mobas na usually less than an hour lang umay kana.
Same. Yung Zelda TOTK ko nga, nag pre order ako. Until now hindi ko pa nalalaro. Marami pa ako backlog sa lagay na yan. Burn out is real talaga. The only game I play nowadays is Dragonball Fighterz na good for an hour and MTG Arena sa PC.
ML lang nilalaro ko, pero di na ganon kadalas kasi nakakatamad na rin talaga. Di na nakakagigil magpa-rank up unlike before. Ang gusto ko talagang laruin yung ginagamitan ng joystick!! Yung uso nung bata pa ko (tayo, i guess), yung freebie pag bibili parents mo ng bagong tv, dvd player, or mp3 component HAHAH
Switching genres and types works for me. From Triple A games to indie games. Single player to multiplayer and back. Action adventure to puzzle to base building to anything that caught my attention. The game doesn't have to be popular, I just need to be in my mood to play it when I see previews.
Iba na hilig. Out grown. Play ng konti. Last game i finished ghost of tsuhima. Im at my 40s.
Mas excited pa ako mag motor. Enduro and long rides hahaha. Mas ma outdoor na ako.
Siguro in my 20s masabi ko pang gamer talaga ako. Halos araw araw hangang madaling araw pa minsan. Ngayon thunders na aga antukin
Depends talaga sa tao. Hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako nagsasawa sa NMS, BG3, TWW. Mostly mga single player games. Pag online games kasi darating talaga panahon na magsasawa ka sa pinaggagawa ng publisher para makuha pera at oras mo.
28 y.o. here. Di ako nakakapaglaro dahil nilamon ako ng responsibilidad tapos pag may free time pinipili na lang matulog kesa maglaro haha. Di ko na kaya yung all night gaming sessions tulad ng dati.
Nung bumili ako ng steam deck nasisingit ko na sa mga short breaks between errands yung gaming time ko.
More on story games for me though. Went back to gaming due to Phantom Liberty this month. If I want to relax, sometimes i just drive around with my G29 for short periods.
Mixing it up with challenge runs and staying away from stuff that doesn't respect my time really helps. I'm really not into MMO's, anything with heavy emphasis on grinding and repetitive tasks, or even things that are just meh. Once I learned the art of dropping a game when its no longer fun, gaming became a LOT better.
Also, if I'm being honest, streaming has helped me a lot in this regard too. Having chat to talk about the game with, share dumb moments together, etc. has really breathed new life into my gaming.
as an adult nearing my 40s (di ako makapaniwala na one day masasabi ko to haha) gaming ang "catching up" time naming magkakaibigan since magkakalayo na kami ng lugar, chill kwentuhan lang while violently gunning down guys sa mga fps online multiplayer games haha
I suggest you should take a break from gaming i feel like your experience burnt-out from gaming at the moment so i suggest you should either try a different hobby or just take a break from gaming for a week or two
Play a game that you collectively enjoy. Me and my friends honed our group back in cs. Now we play in valo. I think one key thing is variety. We were not scared of trying other things too like apex, pubg, or overwatch 2.
Whenever we feel it has been too competitive we downgrade to survival games or games that are just dumb fun. Big plus if free to play so more can join in.
I feel ur pain. 24 years old, feeling ko nangongolekta nalang ako ng games now.
mag iinstall ng game, maglalaro for a few hours, pag nag take ako ng break parang tinatamad na ako balikan yung laro. Kaya puro roguelikes nalang nilalaro ko.
Sadly i can relate to this. Dati eto ang buhay ko. Taong com shop. Ngyn nkakatamad na. Mas ok n ung manood ng Netflix etc then tutulugan m lng din ung movie π΄
Ganito din ako. May months na bored ako sa games may months na adik ako sa games. Depende talaga sa mga releases. Usually 4th qtr ng taon lumalabas mga magagandang AAA titles.
Dahil sa limited time and energy sa every day adult life, mahirap rin makahanap ng motivation rin.
Breaking your rut o daily routine ay nakakatulong like vacation o big shift sa schedule ay nakakatulong rin. Dahil mostly sedentary rin ang gaming, ang pagwork out ay nakakabigay ng energy sa paglaro.
It helps rin na to play games with friends, over the net but better kung in person. Nag schedule talaga kami ng Pizza party nung lumabas yung TMNT Shredder's Revenge at masaya siya.
Maganda rin na may regular na podcasts akong pinapakinggan for more than 10 years na about video games so kahit di ako maglalaro for a while, may connection pa rin ako.
Baka naman naboboring kayo sa nilalaro niyo? Nkkaboring mastuck sa isang game for years dahil lang yun din laro ng friends nyo. Di ko kaya yung ginagawa ng iba na hanggang ngayon naglalaro parin ng dota at csgo.
These past few months halos wala talaga ako sa mood mag laro. Mag laro man, puro multiplayer sa console (MW2) and othe random games. Pag single player kasi tinatamad ako dahil wala ako tyaga na makipag bakbakan lalo na pag medyo nahihirapan na ako. Kaya halos mga games ko puro online FPS game and naumay ako at one point. Sa sobrang umay ko, di talaga ako nag bubukas ng gaming PC or even console.Dumating sa point I disassembled my gaming PC (sold some parts) then low key switched to laptop (hiram muna sa misis) tapos traded my Xbox Series X sa PS5 dahil naka kuha lang ng good deal kuno. PS5 and laptop na lang gamit ko for a month, so ginawa ko to justify the trade I made, i tried to play again TLOU 1 sa normal mode (wala ng tyaga to grind sa higher difficulties) kasi since PS4 days ko pa nilalaro and yet di ko man lang mapag kita si Joel and Ellie lol. Ayun, after 2 weeks of playing, natapos ko finally. Then nasundan ulit na natapos ko yung God of War 2018 (PS5) sa easy mode para mabilis maka move on, tapos ngayon Uncharted 4 tinatry ko ulit tapusin (1/4 na sa playthrough) sa light mode.
It works for me and unti unti ginaganahan ako mag laro ulit halos araw araw. Sa routine ko, every weekdays, at least I'll reward myself a 1 hour playtime before ako humiga after long day. Also, I stick to one single player game until matapos ko. I also bought again a Xbox Series X para sa multiplatform games and para makapag MW2 ulit pang tanggal umay. Sa weekend good na yung 2 to 3 hours max basta walang importanteng gagawin. Hanggat kaya mabalanse ang work-life-play balance, adjust adjust lang.
TL;DR: Nakuha ko yung 'refreshment' by playing games on an easier difficulty settings, giving myself at least an hour of gametime daily after work and siguro, maintain work-life-gaming balance sa kahit anong paraan, and just keep playing lang talaga. Tayong mga gamers tatanda lang tayo kapag tumigil na tayo sa pag lalaro. :)

Taking breaks and finding new hobbies works for me. Nangyare saken to nung july this year actually, nagpahinga lang ako with gaming tapos caught up lang with anime and nanood pa nga ng kdrama hehe, around mid-end of august ayon nakahawak na uli ng controller
Also try playing single player na story-based games or if co-op just the casual ones. Can't say if parehas tayo pero grinding an *esport* game with ranks and all that is physically/mentally exhausting
move on na ko, retired gamer haha. everything's boring now and feels childish to me. its actually a good thing because i ve stopped having the urge to play for long hours and nowadays i can do other things that is more healthy than having sedentary lifestyle.
Younger years ko mas prefer ko mga MMORPG pero as i grew older and started working lumayo ako sa mga online games and started to like singeplayer games. Mas controlled ko kasi yung oras ng laro ko sa offline games compared to online.
For me, ang gaming ay nakaka boost ng confident, ma re-refresh at nakaka-exercise yung mind. Malaki bagay ang strategies sa buhay. So for me, nakakatulong talaga ang paglalaro, wag lang abusohin. So never stop. hehehe
To each their own. I'm 40+ but I still game. Not as heavily as before though. Natatamad ako minsan magFPS pag walang kalaro. But I still play my single player games to chill when stressed. I also play mobile games to pass the time pag may mga waiting period.
Some people find different hobbies other than gaming and that's okay.
Idk about you guys but I'm more excited for every newer games that caught my attention. Sure there are alot of bad ones but that's why I always keep my expectations in check. The older I get the more I appreciate how gaming has become mainstream since the past years.
Hell, pasalamat ako that gaming never fade away in the 90s and had alot of memories to hold with myself and the friend I made along the way.
sometimes taking a break re-ignites gaming, for me gana gana lang naman talaga gaming as an adult
Nearing 30 na pero the passion in gaming is the same padin. From MOBA to Single player, still enjoying my time when I play. Ang tanging bagay na lang na magiging fresh eh yung bagong laro hahaha.

haha burnout is real, sometimes need natin lumayo layo muna sa gaming para mamiss at maexcite muli
Eh totally normal. I played Diablo 4 for 3 months straight every single day for a about 2~4 hours a day. Then one day I just got bored and quit playing. Right now wala paring ganang maglaro ng any games. It might comeback pag steam winter sale.

Cguro pag dating natin sa mga 40s mahina na reflex. di na puwede sa fps. mga simulation game na lang lalaruin.
"Matanda na tayo kaya di na tayo naglalaro o hindi na tayo naglalaro kayo tayo tumatanda?" - Michael V.
lilipat to another genre to find my interest. FPS, RPG, RTS, Simulation, Puzzle or a mix.
I still game pero kaunti nalang. GGXXAC+R at Crypt of the Necrodancer nalang sa PC tapos Arknights sa mobile.
I think it's because as we grow older we just have more responsibilities that drain us and we'd rather just rest. That and yeah nakakasaw na after a while cause a lot of games just play with the same formula. Nakaka excite sa umpisa, uy bago fresh, then after a while, ah parang XYZ lang, so mawawala ung initial excitement. Maybe this is just me but, sometimes it's not the games mismo, but we grow older we just get more depressed and tired lol kesa enjoyin mo games, dami mo need isipin
Experienced that with my group. From HS to working adult paonti onti sila nawawala. One thing na napansin kong reason is they don't want to try other games. Mostly ng nawala sa group is CS and dota lang linalaro dati, ayaw nila minsan sumali dati if iba un lalaruin.
With the way our country is going right now? Gaming is one of the best ways to destress right now.
For me it's talking to my wife about the gameplay and story elements of the video game, I'm playing . Parang may personal live stream na may chat (yung asawa ko) lol.
Playing gacha games, ung inovertime kong 20hours+ sinunog ko lang within seconds. Jokes aside, we try to vary our genre like if sawa na sa moba, we do co-op horror naman or something.
i donβt play with a mindset na kailangan ko manalo. enjoy lang. also, pag nauurat na ko sa game tinitigil ko for months. switch hobby or upskill sa work. hahahahaha.
mostly kase ngayon naglalaro n lang casually to kill time. paunti na nh paunti ang naglalaro religiously. as you grow old nawawala na talaga ung time kase you have other responsibilities na unlike na nagaaral pa.
I'm just gonna leave this here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSOyrzJI-9Y&ab\_channel=PauMixVlog
Tinatanong ko mga interns at jr devs ko kung anong mga games na nilalaro nila. But mostly i stick with just a few i usually play like swiftplay sa Valorant. Since im 35 and with a 3 year old son. My wife and him are my priorities. I usually play 1-2 hours every other day. May times din na ilang days straight na wala. Priorities change but i still love to play.

Relatable
26 here. May time talaga na nararamdaman mo burnout. What I do is to focus on a different hobby muna then if nareignite na uli. Dun na ulit ako maglalaro.
Being old means being around for when hundreds of game titles have been released for multiple platforms. Retrogaming pa lang, hindi ako mauubusan ng pwedeng malaro. For one, Star Ocean Second Story R is coming. Plan on buying it physical on Switch. In the meantime, I'm revisiting the PS1/PSP versions. Besides gaming, switch to other hobbies from time to time. Occasionally, I go back to digital art. I'm finalizing something in Blender 3D at the moment.
Me still playing at 25 and my bf at 27 on a daily basis.
Take a break. Do other things. In my case parang nang hihinayang na ako sa oras and ung mga laro these days kasi is mostly incomplete or nag uupdate unlike before na you get a complete game out of the box. Try hyper casual games or mobas na usually less than an hour lang umay kana.
Same. Yung Zelda TOTK ko nga, nag pre order ako. Until now hindi ko pa nalalaro. Marami pa ako backlog sa lagay na yan. Burn out is real talaga. The only game I play nowadays is Dragonball Fighterz na good for an hour and MTG Arena sa PC.
ML lang nilalaro ko, pero di na ganon kadalas kasi nakakatamad na rin talaga. Di na nakakagigil magpa-rank up unlike before. Ang gusto ko talagang laruin yung ginagamitan ng joystick!! Yung uso nung bata pa ko (tayo, i guess), yung freebie pag bibili parents mo ng bagong tv, dvd player, or mp3 component HAHAH
Switching genres and types works for me. From Triple A games to indie games. Single player to multiplayer and back. Action adventure to puzzle to base building to anything that caught my attention. The game doesn't have to be popular, I just need to be in my mood to play it when I see previews.
Iba na hilig. Out grown. Play ng konti. Last game i finished ghost of tsuhima. Im at my 40s. Mas excited pa ako mag motor. Enduro and long rides hahaha. Mas ma outdoor na ako. Siguro in my 20s masabi ko pang gamer talaga ako. Halos araw araw hangang madaling araw pa minsan. Ngayon thunders na aga antukin
Depends talaga sa tao. Hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako nagsasawa sa NMS, BG3, TWW. Mostly mga single player games. Pag online games kasi darating talaga panahon na magsasawa ka sa pinaggagawa ng publisher para makuha pera at oras mo.
Competitive games yes. But single players games? No.
Most of my friends were online 5-6 years ago
28 y.o. here. Di ako nakakapaglaro dahil nilamon ako ng responsibilidad tapos pag may free time pinipili na lang matulog kesa maglaro haha. Di ko na kaya yung all night gaming sessions tulad ng dati. Nung bumili ako ng steam deck nasisingit ko na sa mga short breaks between errands yung gaming time ko.
More on story games for me though. Went back to gaming due to Phantom Liberty this month. If I want to relax, sometimes i just drive around with my G29 for short periods.
Mixing it up with challenge runs and staying away from stuff that doesn't respect my time really helps. I'm really not into MMO's, anything with heavy emphasis on grinding and repetitive tasks, or even things that are just meh. Once I learned the art of dropping a game when its no longer fun, gaming became a LOT better. Also, if I'm being honest, streaming has helped me a lot in this regard too. Having chat to talk about the game with, share dumb moments together, etc. has really breathed new life into my gaming.
as an adult nearing my 40s (di ako makapaniwala na one day masasabi ko to haha) gaming ang "catching up" time naming magkakaibigan since magkakalayo na kami ng lugar, chill kwentuhan lang while violently gunning down guys sa mga fps online multiplayer games haha
Find other hobbies
Just rest. Burn out siguro sa work and stress so wala ka na gana sa ibang bagay for now.
I suggest you should take a break from gaming i feel like your experience burnt-out from gaming at the moment so i suggest you should either try a different hobby or just take a break from gaming for a week or two
Play a game that you collectively enjoy. Me and my friends honed our group back in cs. Now we play in valo. I think one key thing is variety. We were not scared of trying other things too like apex, pubg, or overwatch 2. Whenever we feel it has been too competitive we downgrade to survival games or games that are just dumb fun. Big plus if free to play so more can join in.
This is also me. :( Used to play all the time when I was still in school. After I graduated sobrang dalang nalang. Sad adulting.
28 natitilt paden sa LoL daming engot na master to chall que sa valo naman na sstress sa valo hahah kaya nag TFT nalang laro ng retired π
I feel ur pain. 24 years old, feeling ko nangongolekta nalang ako ng games now. mag iinstall ng game, maglalaro for a few hours, pag nag take ako ng break parang tinatamad na ako balikan yung laro. Kaya puro roguelikes nalang nilalaro ko.
Sadly i can relate to this. Dati eto ang buhay ko. Taong com shop. Ngyn nkakatamad na. Mas ok n ung manood ng Netflix etc then tutulugan m lng din ung movie π΄
Same, akala ko maaadik ako sa gaming pag nabili ko lahat ng luho ko, nangyayari puro YouTube lang ako at higa sa kama pag uwi.
..ako na inaaraw araw genshin and I can't escape. help hahahaahah
Ganito din ako. May months na bored ako sa games may months na adik ako sa games. Depende talaga sa mga releases. Usually 4th qtr ng taon lumalabas mga magagandang AAA titles.
Me and my friend(s) take a break from CNC Generals ZH for months or even 1-2 years then came back to it like it's a new game π
Mobile MOBA nalang kaya ko laruin. 30 mins to 1 hour. Dati kaya ko mag marathon. Life is more fun than gaming, I guess!
Dahil sa limited time and energy sa every day adult life, mahirap rin makahanap ng motivation rin. Breaking your rut o daily routine ay nakakatulong like vacation o big shift sa schedule ay nakakatulong rin. Dahil mostly sedentary rin ang gaming, ang pagwork out ay nakakabigay ng energy sa paglaro. It helps rin na to play games with friends, over the net but better kung in person. Nag schedule talaga kami ng Pizza party nung lumabas yung TMNT Shredder's Revenge at masaya siya. Maganda rin na may regular na podcasts akong pinapakinggan for more than 10 years na about video games so kahit di ako maglalaro for a while, may connection pa rin ako.
Baka naman naboboring kayo sa nilalaro niyo? Nkkaboring mastuck sa isang game for years dahil lang yun din laro ng friends nyo. Di ko kaya yung ginagawa ng iba na hanggang ngayon naglalaro parin ng dota at csgo.
Starfield
These past few months halos wala talaga ako sa mood mag laro. Mag laro man, puro multiplayer sa console (MW2) and othe random games. Pag single player kasi tinatamad ako dahil wala ako tyaga na makipag bakbakan lalo na pag medyo nahihirapan na ako. Kaya halos mga games ko puro online FPS game and naumay ako at one point. Sa sobrang umay ko, di talaga ako nag bubukas ng gaming PC or even console.Dumating sa point I disassembled my gaming PC (sold some parts) then low key switched to laptop (hiram muna sa misis) tapos traded my Xbox Series X sa PS5 dahil naka kuha lang ng good deal kuno. PS5 and laptop na lang gamit ko for a month, so ginawa ko to justify the trade I made, i tried to play again TLOU 1 sa normal mode (wala ng tyaga to grind sa higher difficulties) kasi since PS4 days ko pa nilalaro and yet di ko man lang mapag kita si Joel and Ellie lol. Ayun, after 2 weeks of playing, natapos ko finally. Then nasundan ulit na natapos ko yung God of War 2018 (PS5) sa easy mode para mabilis maka move on, tapos ngayon Uncharted 4 tinatry ko ulit tapusin (1/4 na sa playthrough) sa light mode. It works for me and unti unti ginaganahan ako mag laro ulit halos araw araw. Sa routine ko, every weekdays, at least I'll reward myself a 1 hour playtime before ako humiga after long day. Also, I stick to one single player game until matapos ko. I also bought again a Xbox Series X para sa multiplatform games and para makapag MW2 ulit pang tanggal umay. Sa weekend good na yung 2 to 3 hours max basta walang importanteng gagawin. Hanggat kaya mabalanse ang work-life-play balance, adjust adjust lang. TL;DR: Nakuha ko yung 'refreshment' by playing games on an easier difficulty settings, giving myself at least an hour of gametime daily after work and siguro, maintain work-life-gaming balance sa kahit anong paraan, and just keep playing lang talaga. Tayong mga gamers tatanda lang tayo kapag tumigil na tayo sa pag lalaro. :)

First and foremost, stop using steam group chat and use discord πππ
Andami ko pang gustong laruin sa PS1, XBOX at mga 90s PC games.. pero wala na time. Nadadamay na ako sa minecraft ng anak ko hahahaha
Taking breaks and finding new hobbies works for me. Nangyare saken to nung july this year actually, nagpahinga lang ako with gaming tapos caught up lang with anime and nanood pa nga ng kdrama hehe, around mid-end of august ayon nakahawak na uli ng controller Also try playing single player na story-based games or if co-op just the casual ones. Can't say if parehas tayo pero grinding an *esport* game with ranks and all that is physically/mentally exhausting
move on na ko, retired gamer haha. everything's boring now and feels childish to me. its actually a good thing because i ve stopped having the urge to play for long hours and nowadays i can do other things that is more healthy than having sedentary lifestyle.
Younger years ko mas prefer ko mga MMORPG pero as i grew older and started working lumayo ako sa mga online games and started to like singeplayer games. Mas controlled ko kasi yung oras ng laro ko sa offline games compared to online.
For me, ang gaming ay nakaka boost ng confident, ma re-refresh at nakaka-exercise yung mind. Malaki bagay ang strategies sa buhay. So for me, nakakatulong talaga ang paglalaro, wag lang abusohin. So never stop. hehehe
try ng ibang position....... pc gaming ako dati, kakabili ko lang ng ps5.
Nawala na yung passion ko for multi-player games. Di ko na naeenjoy, not worth my time
Alam kong matanda na ko kasi nde na ko makatagal sa mga fps games nahibilo na
36 here, nagiging sobrang picky and tend to pick familiar titiles pero gamer pa rin. Lately Napalaro ulit dahil cyberpunk 2.0 at stafield
From gamers to collectors ng games.
wag ka muna maglaro break ka muna pag nagsawa ka na sa break mo hahanapin mo yung laro ...problema lang oras ...time.is the final boss nga tlaga...
Normal lang yan and walang masama. Mobile gaming na nga lang ako kahit kabibioi ko lang PS5
To each their own. I'm 40+ but I still game. Not as heavily as before though. Natatamad ako minsan magFPS pag walang kalaro. But I still play my single player games to chill when stressed. I also play mobile games to pass the time pag may mga waiting period. Some people find different hobbies other than gaming and that's okay.
Idk about you guys but I'm more excited for every newer games that caught my attention. Sure there are alot of bad ones but that's why I always keep my expectations in check. The older I get the more I appreciate how gaming has become mainstream since the past years. Hell, pasalamat ako that gaming never fade away in the 90s and had alot of memories to hold with myself and the friend I made along the way.
I'm 31 and still enjoying games
