Finally took the plunge on Playstation VR due to the combo of decent black friday sales + shoppers super redemption weekend...and have to say in my limited time with it yesterday I really enjoyed it.
Played the Battlefront VR mission, and some SuperHot VR and it was a lot of fun and really see the potential there.
Now just hope to get Astro Bot for Christmas or that it goes on sale boxing day.
Tetris Effect. That is all.

Has anyone ever just stopped enjoying video games? Over the past while I just don't care to play.
The only game I've played since 2013 is FIFA. I buy the new one each year, and then this year I haven't bothered yet to get 19. My Xbox has become a glorified Netflix machine.

I go through peaks & valleys with it. I try to take breaks for a while then the excitement comes back.
I find gaming to be more of a seasonal thing with me; during the spring/summer I don't play much. I hate when a game I'm really excited for drops a summer release date. Gaming is kind of a cold weather thing for me which helps keep it fresh.

I have been going through this as well. I think I posted about it back in December or January that I was finding no joy or entertainment in video games anymore.
I didn't touch my PS4 until September when I bought PES 19.
I played that quite a bit and still play that occasionally.
I had been looking forward to RDR2 for years and was excited to play it when it was released... but I just haven't had the same connection with gaming for a long time. I am only around 30% in RDR2 and go days without even thinking of playing it.
I know it's an amazing game and that a couple friends play it constantly.. I am just meh about it.

I was like this with Persona 5. Played and beat P4 Golden multiple times years ago and was so jacked for this P5 to come out. Bought it a year ago and have played maybe 4 hrs.

I'm pissed at P5 because it took me a while to understand the game mechanics and now I'm boned. I got to the end boss and don't have enough SP to beat him, and I don't have a save point where I can go back and farm more restore items.
Basically 90 hours sunk into a game I can't complete, which is one of the most hilariously frustrating things to happen to me with a video game in a long time.

On another note, did anyone else find Shadow of War extremely repetitive? I was a big fan of Shadow of Mordor but this one feels like way more of a grind.

Between Astro Bot and Beat Saber I might say I enjoyed my PSVR games more than my non-vr games this year... and it was a really good year.
Beat Saber is just unbelievably satisfying. If you were into the rhythm music genre at all it's a must buy.

Somewhat. Shadow of Mordor was repetitive during the gameplay early on, shadow of war didn’t get numbingly repetitive until that ridiculously boring endgame. Up until that point I really loved it but stopped immediately there and watched the ending on YouTube.
Shadow of War was originally designed to extract money out of players through microtransactions that were built into the nemesis system as it was at launch. Eventually, they removed that mechanic and tried to re-build the game so that it would work properly without that design, but I gather it just wasn't possible to quite get it all the way there (as it probably would have been if they'd built it as a game to begin with, rather than a mechanism for squeezing more cash out of people who'd already paid $60+ up front).

Are you talking about the "Shadow Wars" epilogue business? Because I just started on that and it pretty much made me want to throw my controller in disgust. To Corsi's point, that's the point in the game you can really tell is built for microtransactions because it's basically do that or spend hundreds of hours farming XP to finish the game.
