I wouldn't say I get sick of games, but my tastes begin to migrate aroung every couple of years or so. For example,I used to be really into RPG's. Nowadays I can't stand the things, no matter how hard I try. I got Disgaea and played that for about a hour before I got sick of it. KOTOR is the only RPG that I almost beat since FF9 came out. I just don't have the attention span anymore to deal with ridiculous 70+ hour games.
Yep, thats about it. I still love video games and I've never questoned it.

I am over games. They just weren't fun to me anymore. I stopped playing early last summer, and in the past couple months I have sold nearly every piece of gaming equipment that I owned. The only things left are my PS2 (for DVDs), and Ridge Racer Type 4 (it would sell for like $1, but I suppose I will eventually get rid of that as well).

The heaviest I was ever into gaming was during the DC era. I've toned down and sold off a good deal of my collection since then, and I don't game nearly as much as I used to. I still keep my eye on the industry, but my own scope of interest has narrowed considerably. I get together with a group of five friends every couple weeks for multiplayer, but we basically stick to the same few DC titles, Burnout 2, and Halo.
I rarely get the same type of buzz I used to regarding new releases. However, Burnout 3 and RE4 are the only games this year I plan to buy....I get the same kind of unique excitement from them that gaming has always given me. Until that feeling fades completely, I'll still be a gamer.

I think I'm moving to casual gaming though the hardcore tendencies are letting up slowly. In the past three months I've bought 30-35 games, the large majority are ethier still shrinkwrapped or have been played for less than a hour. In three months Border Down, Mars Matrix, Mario/Luigi, and Adventure Island remake are the only games I'd say I've played frequently and enjoyed (still have play Zero Mission though).
In the same time I've been doing more reading, artwork, and exercise and feel alot more balanced. It's easier to justify 35 hours spent on a piece of artwork than completing a RPG. In all I will always love gaming but realize it has to relegated from the all compassing obession it once was. *-neo

bump!
For the past week now, I must have found a good 20 to 30 new games to play with but I still get the feeling that I have nothing to play. I get cussed at whenever my friends hear me say that, because I have considerably more then most of the people I hang out with. I don't think selection is the problem, it's just that I dont have the time, what with school and work, little time is saved for gaming, although even if it would, I'd go right back to saying there's nothing to play, because I'm not in the mood to play any of the games I have, [or even dont have].
What's weird is how I can discuss about games for a long period and not get sick of it,
but playing is another matter.

Owning too many games and buying too frequently makes me get that feeling, rocca. I try to limit myself to one purchase or less a month. So that way any time I actually get a new game to play, it's truly an event instead of a common day occurance.
Maybe you're the same way, maybe not.
-
No, that's pretty dead on my problem. The only games I've purchased in 2004 has been Ninja Gaiden, but one of my good friend bought me PGR2 on my birthday last week as a surprise. Even when I try my best, someone messes it up. ;) [although getting pgr was still badass] :P

I'm going through the same thing that Rocca and Schlep are going through, minus the lack of time to play them. For me, I'm finding far more joy in talking about most modern-day games than playing them.
-
Nah, I don't have Rocca's problem...I just did at one point in time.
-
Due to the fact that I have way too much shit to do, I never get sick of games. Perhaps if I was an ambitionless couch slug who did nothing but play games. But that'll never happen.
