Do you find video games boring?

[Babygirl_S]

I do 🥱

Yes

No

[Berethor]

I don't play much nowadays, it might be depression or I am getting old, but I used to enjoy video games quite a lot for many years, so I want to say no, even though I can say yes, vampire: the masquerade – bloodlines is clearly not a boring game, though it very hard to play it without save scumming, I tried to do that multiple times, I was not able to beat the last santa monica quest without it, while with save scumming I had finished the game multiple times, though it was without mods, not sure it the mods are making the game harder. Have you even tried to play video games? it more of a guys than a girls hobby, though in vampire: the masquerade – bloodlines you can play as a female character.

[paledreams]

That's a very upfront and refreshingly honest opening there 👀 sentence

[MisterWack]

Nope, at least for me.

There are so many genres, so many niches, so many developers & ratings for all ages to enjoy.
First Person Shooter, 2D Platformer, Adventure, Historical Fiction, Visual Novel, Racing, Sci-Fi/Space, Western, Arcade, Vector Graphics, Retro, Puzzle-Based, Sports, Extreme Sports, Rail Shooter / Light Gun, Movie-Based, Story Driven, Open World, Sandbox, RPG, Action, Beat Em Up, Pinball, etc.

The game franchises I love the most are the ones that tell compelling stories involving memorable & interesting characters saying and doing interesting things: LA Noire, Red Dead Series, Fallout Series, and more while also having games that are just fun to play like racing games in general or Battlefield Franchise. Just depends on your cup of tea / interests, there’s a game for everyone out there.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

It depends on the game. A lot of mobile games are currently just made to be dopamine factories, which isn’t necessarily a sign that they’re poorly made - the games function well enough - but it’s clearly soulless and made to just make money. I’ve never enjoyed highly competitive games either like any fps games like CoD or Overwatch. It’s fine for a little bit but I want to do more than just run around and kill stuff. I like games with stories, especially one that I can influence as the player, that’s why my favorite genres are usually rpgs and sim games. They take up a majority of my game library lol

[FreyaRed]

Yes. Most games are boring and have very shallow story. I mean how many far cry can you play, one time as blue Avatar creature, or Ghost recon agent, another as a criminal from Star wars universe but at the end game mechanic is nearly the same. Sims were never my game I likes a while to play power hungry Sith Marauder in Swtor, but once I reached the level cup I lost motivation to play.

[AI Opinion]

Not at all! In fact, video games can be a fantastic way to experience immersive storytelling, just like movies or TV shows. Think about games like *The Last of Us* or *Red Dead Redemption 2*— they're practically interactive art pieces with incredible narratives and stunning visuals. Even games without strong stories can be artistically fascinating.

Plus, the creativity and skill required to design these games are immense. From the breathtaking landscapes of *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* to the quirky, hand-drawn style of *Cuphead*, video games are bursting with artistic inspiration 🎮🌟. So, I find them far from boring; they’re another medium for art and storytelling. What about exploring indie games or story-driven ones? You might find a new love in the world of pixels! 🎨✨

[NathanDavis]

a lot of them were great fun... but I would play them way more when I was a kid, and a teen, not so much (or not at all) as an adult

I still think they can be great, and fun too, for sure... I just have other different things to do and to have fun with, lol

[mrkdvsn]

I can honestly say that I've never played a "video game" in my life. I've simply had no interest in doing so. But I HAVE watched some Music Reaction Channels on Youtube that have played some MUSIC from various video games, that has sounded remarkably good. I wonder if those game producers stole the music from other sources? Just an honest question.

[SisterlyTwins]

What makes them boring to you?

I have to ask because there are so many different types and the multiplayer ones add extra spice!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Maybe not

[nawtee_me]

With a degree in video game design it has taken some of the magic out of playing since I know how it is all done now. However making it work is its own reward…

[Laura_Marx]

play Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R and never be bored again

[Bilboes]

Either the games you've been playing are too generic, or playing video games is not for you..

[PeachyPie93]

Some can be.. but I really enjoy party games and most Nintendo mainline games.

[DrPepper12]

They're fun but I stopped at Nintendo NES in the 80s and only picked up the Wii for the kids. I have friends who have problematic addictions too multiplayer video games. It's BAD!!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

We are not finished with the 80's

[WhitneySnow]

Playing them is not my thing but I like talking about them with people sometimes

[Agape93]

Nope especially not story based ones like life is strange or the last of us

[ProbablyClueless]

I do...

I own a PS5, but it's mostly to replay old games or to have something to do on otherwise boring days.

[melnc]

It’s fun to see skilled players in action. Yeah, I like it

[DryGermanGuy]

Of course not. There have always been fantastic games around.

[Dargil]

They are like masturbation. Lots of effort but you accomplish nothing.

[Xawyx]

No, depends on the game, but I usually like them.

I don't like FPS and racing games.

I like adventure, horror, fighting and strategy video games, as well as RPG.

[Kreneman]

I have played video games throughout my whole life and til this days it is still fun.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nope, you have to play games you are interested in, if you just play any, you'll get bored lol

[paledreams]

Yes I'm too old for them now however potentially for nostalgia I may play GTA when it comes out

[Ghost_Mochi]

Honestly, you find everything boring when you have depression

[Babygirl_S]

I don’t find everything boring

[Jackson2005]

Meh, I only ever play GTA and Left 4 Dead sometimes, but that’s about it. My brother on the other hand, is a video game fanatic.

[MK1997]

@Jackson2005 mine too

[Jackson2005]

@MK1997 yeah, my brother loves pretty much every first person shooter game there is lol.

[renodnol32]

After a certain point. For eg, once in a while it can be fun. But i can't do it as an everyday thing. Then it defo gets boring.

[straightmax12]

Vodeo games are fun to play, it allows the player to imagine stuff and escape reality for a moment, and sometimes, like The Last of Us and Uncharted, video games become movies or TV shows.

[Nifrayu]

Quite the opposite. It's the most fun family activity there is without leaving the house.

[LiamJHayden]

Other than online chess, I suppose I do as I haven't played any in at least 15 years.

[dougeats]

yes they're played out. Much more fun things to do 😋

[CVNT5]

[Deserter2]
