Games that used to be fun, but are now boring.

[no one really]

did you ever played a good game, waited a week, a month, a year or more and found it boring?

It happened to me with Dragon Age: Origins.
It used to be fun, but 50-60% in the game, I just put it on the shelf for some months before i picked it up again.
And it just so god damn boring i finnished the game as quick as I could just a couple of hours ago.

Has something like that ever happened to you?

Assassin's Creed 2. Got to Venice then gave it to my brother for Uni.

I got that with Dragon Age but managed to stick with it. This boredom didn't happen to strike you as you wandered the Deep Roads did it?

I had a similar thing with Just Cause. I could do whatever I wanted and go anywhere, so why bother with the story?

Eternal Sonata.

Was fun with the combat, but got so incredibly boring with cutscenes.

I guess it may not count if it shifts between fun and boring, but that's what Eternal Sonata did. Shift between fun and boring.

I don't know how I managed to play so much puzzle games on HL2M so much. They are crap.

Yeah something REALLY boring about that F***ING deep road.
Glad I'm not the only one : D

Just Cause

True, but it had the coolest ending to a game I've ever seen. And you can always dick around after.

Oh, I recently tried playing Diablo 2, just because it's boring to wait for Diablo 3.
But it's a little... Slow(?)

I'm going with borderlands, just stopped being fun once i got to second town

Dragon Age really loses much of its appeal on the second playthrough. It just feels odd to run into the characters that I was close to the first time around. It wouldd have been nice if the game had let me adventure randomly after the main game ends rather than wait for DLC

 

[reg42]

Oblivion and Fallout 3. I just played them too much. I've extracted every ounce of fun those games can possibly provide.

Perhaps it's more that you burned yourself out on it. Not a lot of story-driven games can take three complete playthroughs.
I'm going to have to say (and perhaps get flamed for this) Mario and Zelda. Zelda is kind of in a different territory because it's not any single Zelda game, but just the fact that they're all so similar (oh yeah, I got the boomerang... again...) that I've lost interest.
Command and Conquer and Red Alert. Feels really sluggish now.

I must agree, I seem to have utterly lost interest halfway through my second playthrough and I'm not sure why.

I think Dragon Age does not reward repeated playthroughs in the way that say, Fallout 3 does.

You have all these different intros but ultimately the quests are pretty much identical after a certain point, and the rather closed in nature of the maps means there isn't a whole lot to explore.

Both Diablos, all Metal Gear Solids and Final Fantasies.

Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Sacred 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2, Burnout Revenge, Oblivion, World of Warcraft, blah blah blah. For me the most important thing about a game is replay value, and honestly most just don't have it once you finish once, or worse yet the games you just can't finish even once from loosing steam in them. For me part of this is because I don't have anyone to play with really. And my 360 isn't set to play online. So yeah you may say I've got nothing to be complaining about because of that but really even when I did play with others and online in the past, on other systems, or computer, I really didn't enjoy it. I don't buy games for multiplayer, and so many are geared towards that. I want replay value, at least something I'd enjoy 3 or more times, or with so much content It would take a long time to be boring. Some of them I listed were like that, but given time they all got dull.

A prime example of this for me would be Diablo 1. Whenever I play it now all I can think about is that I can't run. GAH

Borderlands. Never got round to finishing it. I think I'm level 35 but the missions just became too repetitive and the multiplayer aspect doesn't really improve it in my opinion.
