I've lost the will to game

First world problems?
You're way overthinking it. Just play when you are in the mood :)

I have something similar to that going on myself. I broke my back 2 years ago in a car wreck (no worries i can still walk! lol), and after I had the surgery to fuse three of my vertebrae together, I have had plenty of free time on my hand. I don't know why but I just cant get into almost any video game since, and its(was) getting to me. Its more of the "will", as you put it, to actually start playing the game itself because if I do start playing I still enjoy it and play for a bit. I blame some of this "lack of wanting to play a game" on justin.tv/twitch.tv lol. Instead of playing a game myself and getting that urge out of the way, I end up going onto jtv/twitch and watching others play games and the urge goes away lol. Lately I have been playing a lot of games and getting back into them so I think it was just a phase, maybe it will be for you as well.

Indie bundles burned me out. I now have a boatload of games to play and not enough time. Who knew something like this could happen to someone like me.

I'm the same way, i used to game more at 20 but now six years later im more not willing to play a game sometimes and have many to finish to lol. Meeting and talking to women is where most my free time went now I guess not that its a bad thing either lol. >.>

Honestly, sometimes I get a bit burnt out on playing games for reasons unknown. But I'm usually able to rekindle this by playing a game that I'm fond of, or have good memories of. It helps me get back into the mood of playing games and generally makes me want to play some of the newer ones that I have that I haven't gotten around to yet. But, that's just me personally, I don't know if this method would work for you or not. But, I hope that you can find a gaming buddy in your son and have someone to accompany you on your gaming excursions. c: It's so much more enjoyable when you have someone else to enjoy the experience with, be it single or multiplayer.

Similar situation here, except it's that I've lost the will to play MMORPGs, rather than games in general.

I still have a lot of single-player games that I have not finished, but I'm taking my time and I love it. I love the fact that I don't have to spend hours grinding just to keep up with other players.

Besides, where would all the fun be if the games I buy keep getting completed in 3 days?

My advice would be to just take a break, don't think about how you have no time for games, think about how your games will be sitting there waiting when you do have the time.

Dude, I know exactly how you feel! The only games I feel like playing are ones without any real objectives like Minecraft, League of Legends and I can never seem to finish a games campaign!

Everything gets stale after a while, you just need a change of pace.

i've lost the game to will

I miss the good old times when I could play warcraft3 or starcraft for 10 hours without getting bored.

I've been off games aswell lately.

I actually am thinking of getting rid of my gaming machine and selling my Steam account etc because I am just not in the mood.
I've been going to bed early, watching Tv (which I never do) and partly my kids where my out so it's tiring and just cannot be asked to do bugger all.

Dude find some good friends to play your games with, also do not play too long. Play about 1 hour per day not longer and you will see the urge to play again, because overplaying games makes them boring, try different types of games. I.E. if you like FPS try MMORPG, it is good to play various games sometimes. ;)

It's Spring. Long days and lots to do. Let's see how you feel about gaming in November.

You havent lost the "will", you just have other priorities these days. I hardly played a game in the last few weeks because im very busy with other things, but in time I will get back to it and up my steam rating from 1 to 10 =)

the problem for me is having to many options to pick from, so when i cant decide i end up not playing or playing something ive beating before sigh, options why are they there.

I know exactly what your talking about. For probably 3 months I didnt touch my games but instead surfed the web, watched some shows or any number of other things. However I have come out of it, and am currently finishing up New Vegas after which I will probably move to either Borderlands (for the dlc), or will just roll the dice and pick one at random.

I know the feeling, maybe your son will take you back to gaming later on.

Priorities tend to change with years :)

My problem is the choices. So many games, so little time. I have alot of games that I need to work on completing. I go to my library and cannot decide what I want to play so I end up staring blankly at my library for awhile. Then with my serious ADD, I end up playing nothing and reading the SG forums instead.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Too many games and too little time... I got loads of other stuff coming at me, and I guess that's the reason why I've lost my gaming motivation.

I've lost the will to live, you don't see me complaining

I find I spend more time trading than playing the actual games

Buy skyrim.

Problem Solved

I lost the will not to game.
Help please.

You've grown up.
