The dehumanising trance gamer's experience.

[Yopaz]

It sounds like you have some serious issues when it comes to games if you play them just because you started playing it. I know I personally stop playing games the second I get tired with them and I always put studies and social events over gaming. Gaming is something I do to relax.

Also I rarely point out spelling errors and grammar, but your post is incoherent both because of lack of proper spelling and grammar and lack of continuity. It really does seem like a post you put no thought into and just wrote without a care if anyone was going to understand your point. I can live with the grammar errors and spelling errors, but put some thought into your post to avoid meaningless rambling.

...what?
Honestly, I have no idea what the fuck you just said. Mind providing a summary?

he means he's playing too much games, and the longer he plays the less actual fun it gets and he still keeps playing.
and asking if people have the same. i used to have this sometimes. later, i just switched games more. or stopped and went and did something else.

My jokes are solid gold and yes we came to a conclusion that games get repetitive and boring after a certain amount of time but the trouble is that even though we got to previously mentioned conclusion, we still force ourselves to believe they are worth the trouble.

Speak for yourself. If a game gets boring I put it aside for a while.

People do that?

If I lose interest in a game I just stop playing it.

Played Skyrim for a week or so, got bored after clearing out my twentieth bandit cave and stopped.
Played GTA IV for about three hours, got irritated by the terrible controls and uneventful story and deleted it.
Played Deus Ex Invisible War for a few hours, got bored of the... everything and set it aside. Tried again months later, got bored again, deleted it.

Why the fuck would you spend your free time on something you were not enjoying? "Oh hey, I have a few hours before I need to pick the kids up. I know, I'll stand over here staring at a wall!"

Mind explaining how this is "dehumanising"?

I guess if I got to like, the end of a game, and all I had left was a boss or something, I'd probably keep playing 'till I beat it to finish, but apart from that, nope, I just play something else...

...actually nah if I couldn't beat the boss after like 5-10 goes I'd probably quit the game and never go back. I'm cool like that.

I almost never stick with a game long enough for it to be "a chore," and put it down before it gets to that point. Usually I'll complete the story, or at least most of it, and then set it down. Sometimes I'll come back to it, sometimes I won't.

Skyrim is different for me, because I've played that game an ENTIRE MONTH, about five hours a day. I never stick to one game that long and I owe it's constant "there's more to do" feeling for that. I never felt it get stale or boring because I was always able to find something new to enjoy in it.

I've gone back to Dead Rising 2, which I put down after it began to get to the point it was more "chore" than fun. So Skyrim is on the back burner now...but even as little of a life as I have, I've never played a game past the point of enjoyment.
