Why did I only stop enjoying video games, but not movies, books, etc.?

For a long time I thought that I was one of few people who just stopped enjoying video games as I grew up but it turns out that it's a shared experinece with many people and I'm just wondering, why only video games? I haven't stopped enjoying movies, music or literature (And I haven't seen many people claim otherwise) so what exactly is wrong with video games?

No particular reason, only a minority of people is in your case regardless of your anecdotal experience, and most people just don't have the time anymore for videogames but would still enjoy them very much. That's all.

you are playing shitty games, or you are just burnt out on them in essence the novelty of them wore off
also, tastes changes
also, I have a suspicion that our attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, like I would rather watch random youtube shit videos than actually commit to an entire movie and some shit like that, but on the other hand I can watch podcasts and whatever shit for hours
mental stimuli is a hell of a drug
we are getting mindfucked
on othe other hand you enjoy books and shit so
idk man
your taste change

because modern video games are manipulative skinner boxes designed to form habits and extract your wealth and not deliver quality experiences.

I mostly stopped playing vidya when I realized there was so much good tv / anime content out there.

Its all about intellectual stimulus. Video games are active entertainment. Movies, no matter how rich and great are not.

I felt the same way for a long while until I decided to play dark souls one day. It was intellectually stimulated enough that I got hooked and couldn't put it down. Most games are still very boring to me but every once in a while I will find a game that really grabs me.

I imagine its kind of like how running is a chore to you now but when you were a kid you'd run everywhere and all around the playground all day for fun.

It also happened to me.
Video games are made to manipulate you oonkaa bonka brain

You're just playing shit games. Playing a game for 2 hours is a lot better then watching a movie for 2 hours.

>ACKSHUALLY MUH DARK SHOULS
Please tell me how old you are - sitting there spamming the dodge button for your lil sword guy thinking this is intellectual

You're a grown ass man playing BING BING WAHOO just grinding xp and spamming dodge button and you think that's better than anything else

I'm 25.
Maybe a better word is stimulating but seeing as it doesn't stimulate your muscles its intellectually stimulating you dumb fucking retard.

Why would you choose between them and not enjoy video games, movies and youtube content? Why does everything have to be a competition?

Your a grown as mann watching BOOM BANG KABLAM just sitting your ass on the couch stuffing your face with popcorn and you think that's better then video games?

Because of the subject of OP and also because that faggot posted a video from that giga faggot bitching about video games as if he doesn't waste his time with media in any way.

Video games are literally doing one meaningless thing over and over for hours. movies and books have meaning to it, a generally developed brain carves meaning more than anything, an underdeveloped person might look only for comfy pleasures such as sex, food, drugs, video games but those things don't satiate your intelligence, maybe sex and drugs might because with sex you need game, and drugs open your mind.

Its like your 50 years old and think video games never advanced past the level of pacman.

A game like yakuza has far more meaning 90% of gangster movies out there. You are just a retarded coping faggot.

Are you really going to try and convince me that the marvel movies you watch are truly meaningful. They aren't.

its peak midwit retard shit to pretend one form of form of media is meaningful and another isn't.

Play new genres. I gave rhythm games a try sometimes back and it was just like when I played psx in my childhood. I gave factorio a try and I stayed all night building. Last 4 years I keep alternating between battletech and mechwarrior 5 starting the game over and building shit up from scratch. I do get bored eventually but it is still like childhood when I can get back into those and have fun again.

I am aware video games have stories too, retard. You got triggered like a woman, I still play video games retard, you don't have to explain shit to me, I just told op why he doesn't like them anymore. They're fun but you learn nothing and achieve nothing, and this is a turn off for some people, at least watching something feels like socialising or makes you actually think, unlike killing npcs over and over for hours

Your backpedaling. OP said that he doesn't enjoy games but still enjoys movies. You then claimed video games are meaningless while movies and books give meaning to our lives. I simple corrected you because you are a retarded midwit.

>They're fun but you learn nothing and achieve nothing, and this is a turn off for some people

So you are saying it is like real life you are trying to escape from? Yeah I get it why you say it sucks but that just means you need a better game.

In the end it's all about being as comfy as possible, i might have said that but I still play video games everyday, and life is meaningless yes but it's about how you feel not how others feel, I won't feel like there is any meaningful worth in any video game even if you tell me, doesn't mean I won't continue to play them
