This issue is just a little window outside the deep problem with me. i have no idea what i enjoy!
it is a serious problem. it kind of affects my future life since i dont know what career i will pursue
can anyone tell me how do i make games fun again and a tip so i can find that one good game?
thank you very much
thats another issue! i cannot seem to find other hobbies. i think it has to do with my small fear of change
Thank you for taking your time to answer!
Change is inevitable. The only choice is often whether you control that change or if you do nothing and wait for others to make decisions for you. That's the real thing to be afraid of.
Most decisions you make won't be forever, even if they feel like it. People change their careers in their 30s, 40s, 50s, sometimes even start new ones when they're 60. Not making decisions IS a decision, too, just one that gets you really stuck.
The thing with new hobbies is the upfront effort that is required to enjoy them (modern games sometimes have that element too). When I picked up the banjo, I sucked. It looked so easy when others played, but I couldn't even do basic stuff. Only after a lot of practicing and dealing with frustration I started to be able to play tunes that sounded decently.
It's the same with drawing. Any artist whose stuff you like and find impressive, whether it's a modern artist who creates game art or one of the classical artists who painted cathedral ceilings and created sculptures, they all started with stick figures. Programming is the same. You start with understanding nothing to eventually and gradually being able to write complex software or games.
I think one of the problems today is that it's so easy to compare yourself to everyone else. YouTube, social media, etc. No matter what hobby you pick up, you immediately run into people and their videos who have done the thing for years or you see the inevitable, alleged "beginner" who can do stuff that you can't even dream of. You have to completely free yourself from comparison, and be willing to suck. That is not easy.
Like with games, you have to try a number of different hobbies. Start by asking yourself what you'd like to be good at, then break it down and figure out where to start. No skill learning is ever a waste of time. It all adds up over time.
Play different types until you find one you enjoy
i tried that but it didnt really work. i think i should wait untill newer games release
also thank you!
Try going for highly reviewed games that focus on a single thing, not Frankenstein's Monsters that combine multiple genres
i also tried that but close to none satisfied me
also thank you!
what did you try?
gta 5, enlisted, war thunder, half life 2, stardew valley, undertale etc etc
Trial and error I guess.
Sounds like depression. Maybe look into that.
i was depressed at one point in life. im not sure if it went away
You play super Mario rpg.
i remember playing mario games in my childhood. such memories.

Take a Game Pass Ultimate abonnement and try all you can. I'll finish to find the perfect game. Perhaps an unexpected game ;)
since my money is limited (for now) that isnt a valid option but thank you!
> i think i should wait untill newer games release
You'll wait to pay $60 for a single new game but won't spend $10 to try a crapload of games for a month
you're just trolling
thats where pirating comes to play
yeah, except by relying on pirating you can't play the correct "experience" of many games that use Online multiplayer.
Since your problem isn't "i want to play X" but rather "I don't know what to play", you should be looking at solutions that encompass multiple titles
but as i said, looking at your responses to everyone else, you're just trolling
why would i be trolling? i just want a sollution to a problem i had for a long time.
Exactly, it's possible to pay only 1$ for an entire month of Game Pass. Like that you have a month to try a lot of games! For only 1$, it's a good deal compare to buy a game around 80$ and realize that you don't like it...
i thought it was way more expensive... thanks!
on what platform?
The Game Pass is accessible on PC or Xbox. It's more expensive but you can have an offer for the first month
ah thanks!

If you don't currently enjoy games, explore other hobbies. Programming, musical instruments, sports and exercise methods, speedcubing, arts, and so on. There is a whole world of hobbies and skills outside of video gaming.
Your career choice should not have anything to do with what video games you enjoy. Talk to a counselor at school or university who specializes in help with career choices. Read up on careers, visit appropriate subreddits and web sites.
