I used to really love gaming, but my interests have sharply changed in the last decade, and honestly I can barely manage to conjure up the desire to finish anything. Maybe I'm mentally ill IDK. I really liked playing Fez over the last year or so, and that's it. Nothing else has really grabbed me (I did finish Journey and the Ori sequel though). Over the last year I've tried: Far Cry 1, Puzzle Quest, Faster than Light, and Cluster Truck. I really need help rekindling this once burning flame, or the embers will die out.
I own both Diablo 3 and Civ 4 (also 5) and enjoyed them, maybe I should give them both a second try?
Couldn't hurt! Have you tried seasonal mode in Diablo 3? That game has come a long freaking way since initial launch.
No, but I should. I have a pile of games that I picked up and never finished.
Me too, comrade. Me too.
I somehow always end up firing up Skyrim or Stardew Valley for a couple of weeks and getting bored with it once I manage to hit some doofy goal that I set for myself (e.g., "get X achievement" or "kill Alduin with a Punch Cat build"). D3 seasons have been pretty fun lately, too. I'd forgotten my love/hate relationship with playing a LeapQuake barbarian, and I rolled a demon hunter just to try out the new Gears of the Dreadlands set, which was a freaking blast. Necro is a lot of fun right now, too; they buffed Corpse Explosion builds quite a bit, so you can get that whole Juche necromancy-meets-Ted Kaczynski vibe going.
The hardest part for me is literally ginning up the desire to even open the program. It doesn't help that the last time I tried to play something recent that I enjoyed (Doom 2016) my computer literally seized up and died. I got it fixed, and I still can't play it. Really puts a damper on my gaming desires.
