Is it me or is Pc gaming or gaming itself just getting boring?

i use to play on my pc all the time,I was addicted to FPS games but now im so damn bored of all the FPS because they are all just basicly the same.
aim and shoot :cool:

im only into FPS or Racing games so thats about it but i just cant bring myself to buy a new pc for gaming because of this.

Alot of people here will probably dissagree with me but thats just how im feeling at the moment about gaming :confused:
 
FPS gaming has hit a rut. There's only 1 or 2 times you can replay the same story, many games are improving the graphics but there are few new story lines. it's either Good vs. Evil or human vs. Alien.

im thinking about going back to consoles tbh,There is a game im looking farward too though and that is the new GTA for Ps3.

Ive always enjoyed the Gta games and they never got boring.
i still play GTA:SA on the Ps2 today :P,Just driving around plus modding the cars etc.

Its basically the shortest game i've played, and I felt the same way all the way through it...
 
I dont care for story, if you want a story read a book. tf2 owns, along with all my games :D, crysis, cod4, WIC. well thats it... If you want story get bioshock or the darkness ( thats what ive heard ) I got bioshock as a gift and worst game ive ever played :(, so sick and disgusting
 
Ive always wanted to have this discusion.

Overrated. I hate the layout of the game, the map, You can hack machines, OMG THAT SOUNDS SO COOL! but when u do it twice it gets so old and boring, you connect pipes and water runs thru them:confused: hacking? The atmosphere is scary, the game is sickning ( in a scary way ) You harvest EVE from little girls.... eeeww. I dont understand the story, And the way you hold the guns, the way theres never enough ammo, the way the aiming sucks, the way you can shoot fire? ok thats just dumb.. BUT WAIT, you can also shoot electricity, and control things telepathicly and more.... WHAT THE HELL IS THE GAME ABOUT???? quite frankly i hate the game. If someone can tell me why its good ill give it another shot, till then, It scares me.

I rest my case.
 
i was a maniac console gamer (xbox and ps2) but i stopped after selling both of my consoles and moved to pc gaming, but i didn't last long since the idea of upgrading cards every so often (with that budget of mine :P) got to me and i stopped.
Gaming to me now i just a past time, and yeah you're probably growing through a manhood phase, no wonder games for you seems boring.

in my view, go out and get a girl ;)
trust me it's better than gaming :cool:
 
I have to agree, some games are starting to get boring, everyone is ripping everyone else off. But then, as someone else pointed out, you have to find the needle in the hay stack, like portal :D. Half life 2 used to be quite original, but I think Im going to have to agree with zero punctuation on this one, the most recent episode feels like a filler, and all the new crap they are piling on like achievements are pointless.

Some games without story lines are fun, such as CSS and TF2 (the first more then the latter in my opinion). But it seems like your paying a lot and not getting alot. CSS and TF2 were planned ingeniously by being bound with half life 2 and orange box, but purchasing them on their own, I could probably never do.

But games that try to have a story line and utterly fail, those are the ones I dont like. Such as the original far cry, the cuts scenes leave you in a "WTF just happened" sort of state. Some newer ones. COD4 and Crysis, yeah, great graphics probably what made up for the lack in story line. I could see it, and it made since, and it was fun, but wasnt the same as the good ol days of playing Halo.

I think a lot of the lack of story line may be the supid fan boys. All they care about are graphics and/or dont have the brain power to comprehend a good story so the programers dont come up with one. Also new games are being shoved out the door so quick that they may not have time to think up a good story. Hopefully far cry 2 which is caring more about the characters and how they interact with the enviroment, will change the gaming industry from "graphics only" back to "story, interaction, and graphics to tie it all together".

:)

EDIT: Because I havnt talked enough. I just wanted to mention the mod blackmesa source for half life 2. It goes to show that you dont need to biggest, best, next greatest engine to have a good game. They dont even have a game out, its the story line (granted it is stolen off of valve but its supposedly reworked a bit) that keeps people asking for updates on how the game is coming.

The Witcher had a great story, and was a great game, but I bet alot of you's guys haven't heard of it or played it even. I mean there's alot of great Sleeper-hits out there, games you don't hear of as much because of some esoteric reason or another. Pick one of these up once in awhile, instead of the next Crysis, NFS, WoW wannabe.

But on subject, I've been getting bored with gaming recently, as well. I chalked it up to growing, diverging interests, but it might be because of the current "copy-pasta" state of the industry. The best memories I have of gaming are years ago, I wonder If i'll ever feel the same gaming goodness I felt when playing Zelda: OoT, Kotor, or Halo.... :(
