Gaming ADD? Burnt out? What?

No, possibly, no, and no.

Try Super Hexagon, if anything it'll get your attention because you'll get pissed at it

i know that feeling (although i only own ~100 games). i'm trying to get through my whole backlog of linear games, tho.

Same problem.
I am trying to stick with Dead Space 1 atm and finish that up, then move on to another.

I've had a problem with not enjoying what I was playing in the past. My fix is to try a genre I don't normally play.

In german there's a saying "Wer hat die Wahl der hat die Qual" which translates literally to something like he who has the the choice has the pain. No that that doesn't make that much sense but it's meant to imply that having a lot of choices can actually be a really sucky thing. And that's the boat you're in, no idea where to start so you don't really want to start anywhere.
I've had and still have the same problem, but in my case I also spend a fair bit of time with other media like movies, TV or anime and even books. And usually something from that other media will trigger a particular gaming desire and then I'll play that game so it's not that much of a problem for me anymore. The only advice I can really give is to move between the genres you like, don't just stick with shooters for instance cuz then they'll feel all samey and more like a chore, rather switch to RTS or a Racer after you've finished one to take a brake from them. And then switch back as soon as you feel the urge.
This type of "strategy" has a draw-back though, it leads to tons of partially played incomplete rather than unstarted games because you jump to a different game whenever the desire emerges rather than forcing yourself to finish one. But it provides the greatest amount of gaming enjoyment for people in our position.

Just happens. Lately I found myself playing more multiplayer games (CS:GO, LoL, BF3) and not even launching single player ones despite willing to play good stories.

I totally know the feeling... Happens to me all the time unfortunately.

I'm at that phase right now actually... Usually being busy and having your mind completely off of games helps.

I have had the same thing for two-three years now. Except for me even when I start the game and force myself to play it I still lose interest really fast and it ends up feeling almost like a chore to go back to the game... even though I do like the game. I keep buying new ones feeling like it's going to be different with this new one or that new one. Of course it never is. I'm just going through a game lull I guess. Meanwhile I keep spending more and more money on games... I just keep feeling like I'll find one that will get me out of this lull.

I know that feeling. It's also harder when you have too many games installed.
I normally just install a game, then beat it, then install another.

I own 89 (I used to own a stable 69 just a few weeks ago) and yeah I can safely say haven't even gotten to properly playing half of them yet. If you find a game you're hooked to just keep playing that game until you get bored, then switch over to a different game. I have exams now so I am not playing, but when the holidays come only god knows if I will be able to play them all at least once...

I used to go through this and just take months off at a time. After my last time off, which was 7 years, I think I am done with long lapses. My suggestion is to keep a lot of games installed at once, including basically everything from quick to slow paced, casual to hardcore, etc... Keep the variety up and just play whatever you are most in the mood for. If you can vary your gameplay right off, then when you go through this you will have an easier time finding something.

I will play any type of game, so now I figure it will be really hard to get myself to completely quit. When I don't feel like playing games that much, I just play something casual to keep my brain active. For example, right now I don't feel like playing much, but I have been playing 10,000,000 and 7 Wonders: Ancient Alien Makeover. Both are casual games that can be played for a few minutes at a time. I keep going in and out of the games. Eventually that will wear a bit thin and I will get in the mood to go back to something with more substance.

It might also be depression. I suffer from both ADD and depression, so it isn't always easy to figure out what is causing this need. The only real difference ends up being that depression is usually triggered by something that you can trace back to. Otherwise, either one will end up pushing you away from gaming, sometimes. My advice is to simply not leave all the way or it can be hard (For some people, at least) to go back.

Story of my life, bro. Not really sure what the cure is. The reason for this may well be growing up.

Yeah I have that problem all the time, I've got over 500 games I haven't beaten (steam and console combined) but I only ever feel like playing a very small portion of them. I've been hoping to set up a gamie review blog which I think would motivate me to play them all but I haven't had the time.

This happens to me also. As for how I counter, I don't really do so.

im the same way, i am on the comptuer 16 hours a day for the past few years now.... and it used to be gaming all day.... now even though i wanna play games so bad i cant get myself to open a game and play...

its a pandemic thats starting to irritate me... there are so many games i wanna literally play so bad..but after installing... i just...dont.. i look at them every day and say "i wanna play it" but i dont open it v__v

wish there was a way to fix me

The only game I am hooked since the announcement of it is Assassin's Creed... Anything else, well, I've been forcing myself to start playing them.

What you described made me remember of what happens to me when making music.
Maybe is procrastination.

So a couple of tips

·Go to take a walk, to take the sun or just rest for a couple of days. Don't force yourself to play, it won't work.
·Start a game with a motivation, for example, a friend who could play with you coop or multi.

Have a nice day :)

Playing with friends usually gets me out of that state. When nobody's really playing anything it's when i get it back xD

Go to steam
delete al your games
Dont touch your profile for at least a month
See if you change

It's a IRL depression trust me bro :( :) backlog etc xD . How to combat it - Start finnishing the tv series & games you started & left unfinnished then proceed with others ;) .

try having more hobbies than videogaming

I actually have the same problem as you.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem.. Lately, the only game I'm able to concentrate on is Civ 5.. I tend to look through my games for about 30 minutes and load Civ 5 while trying to decide and end up playing that all day lol not exactly sure why that game specifically, but I guess there are worse games to be hooked on lol..
