I stopped playing all video games for 1 year.
Needed to detox the brain.
Going on 2 months now, no vid games of any kind.

Best decision I have made in a long time. I highly recommend it.

Been replacing the vid games with watercolor, pen and ink drawings, etc. Reading lots of books that I wish I read a lot sooner. Enjoying the outdoors more.
Just going old school with my hobbies has been so refreshing, really.

I only play for like an hour at time. I used to not play video games at all. It's a small slice of my time pie, and I enjoy it.

My dry spell lasted about a dozen years.

I had been playing a game from 2001, until 2007 or so, then one day I just quit cold turkey. I mean all games.

I made exceptions for GTA 4 and 5 when they came out, then quit those as well when I finished the story mode, until I discovered in ~2018 that GTA Online wasn't all that bad (despite all its idiosyncrasies--it's only gotten worse since). I finally quit GTA Online near the start of summer in favor of Red Dead Redemption 2.

These days you could say I'm a gamer once more - but I tend to stick to a single game at a time.

To add a little perspective on this - consider my current gaming rig was okay when GTA5 came out (in 2015, for the PC)...it's more than a little dated right now, but I have zero intent to upgrade it (or replace it outright) until at least GTA6 comes out.

I've play all of them up through Fallout4. I tend to bounce back and forth between Fallout4 and Skyrim. Currently though Red Dead Redemption has been my go to. Haven't fully decided but I'm considering Starfield as the next one. It sounds interesting.

Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

Bought Fallout 3 when it came out.
I was absolutely sure I'd love it.
However, I never played it again after leaving the Vault.

I'd probably love it if I gave it another shot, but I won't because there's so many more games I'd rather play, like Live A Live Remake, Tales of Symphonia Remastered, Atelier Ryza 3, Final Fantasy XVI and the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Been going full JRPG recently (my most recently finished games include Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Arise, Atelier Ryza 1 and 2, and Octopath Traveler II) Big Grin | :-D

Oh, really looking forward to Hades II too! Big Grin | :-D

Not sure what to think of Baldur's Gate III.
I loved BGII back in 2000 (and played it again two or three years ago), but BGIII just isn't BG how I know and love it.
Sure looks awesome though.

I've got to finish Tales of Berseria first though.
Discovered the Tales of series last year and I absolutely love it! Big Grin | :-D

So much to play, so little time...
Only 32 more years to retirement... Poke tongue | ;-P

Best,
Sander

nope.

Been playing a lot of fallout games.

Last time I did a run at fallout 4 was this spring.

I'm waiting for Starfield now.

I'm a fan. Not of Fallout 76, though. I tried for a while but then they'd do an update and it would hose up my whole game. Excited to try Starfield.

I've played 1-4. Typically, once I've beaten a game and got all the trophies, I drop it. There's a lot of Fan DLC, which might be interesting, but much of it is not available for PlayStation Frown | :(

I'd be interested in a Russian, Chinese or maybe North Korean scenario. 'Cause you know Vault-Tec is an evil Mega-Corp that's behind the whole Great War ...

I'm a huge fan of the lore in general, but not as much of the games per se.
I did a couple of Fallout 4 playthroughs, and probably will do one for Fallout London when is out if I manage to be done with Starfield by then.
I did try 3 and New Vegas but even with the QOL mods they become playable but definitely show their age for me...
