Ever taken an Extended break from gaming?

Re: Ever taken an Extended break from gaming?

I can't remember the last time I went a few weeks without gaming on some level.

Same here. I have maybe gone 2-3 weeks tops with no gaming in the last 20 years. While I may not game as extensively as I used to say 10 years ago....I manage to get in at least one to two 3-4 hour sessions in a week (late night weekends).

It takes me years to play through multiple seasons of my favorite sports titles...hence why I do not buy yearly releases of those for the most part.

I will game till I can't hold a controller anymore.

I didn't play at all for like a year, went on a sixth month deployment and then went on a sixth month drink/party binge.

No breaks, need more time in my day for games.

Re: Ever taken an Extended break from gaming?

I am the casual gamer of sorts. I have not played games since around 2009 with Call of duty 4. Gave up on gaming because first it bored me and second could not find any games I liked. Trying to get back into it with the new generation of consoles.

Games I liked:
2k football
Third person shooters like Socom
Splinter Cell type games


Pretty much pushed out of gaming lol

I took 1997-2007 off, or at least half of 2007.

I wouldn't call it a break but I play a lot less during the spring and summer months when playing and watching golf consumes my life. Watch a ton of baseball during that time as well.

I did pretty much the whole time I was in college. Been pretty steady the past 11 years since then though.

When I got into golf this summer, I stopped playing video games. All free time was dedicated to reading and learning more about golf. Then I started a new job in September and with football season starting up, just no time. Finally feeling like I have time to get back into it though.

I did for like 4 months . Thought I was too grown at 19. Got a lot of stuff done but then I realized I was so bored and needed a getaway . So now I play but not as heavy just in free time. Moderation is good.

When I went to college I never really played aside from the occasional Mario Kart 64/Goldeneye game in my dorms. Now I might go a week or so if there's no games that interest me at the time.

I'd rather play games than watch TV though, so when I have free time its usually devoted to video games. There's only about 2 or 3 TV series on at once that I follow and the only other time I'll watch TV is for sports.

Yeah, in college I'd sometimes play a game with friends (Blitz, NCAA, Mario Kart), but didn't have a system of my own....

Nope. Not ever.

You guys must be about the same age I am.

Late nighters with Goldeneye and WCW was a lot of my college nights.

I take the occasional break from gaming because I just become bored with it. That usually happens once a year.

Haha, I actually graduated in 2010. Those N64 games span generations so we were playing them even though they were 12 year old games. A big bonus was that most girls in our co-ed dorm loved playing Mario Kart.

Re: Ever taken an Extended break from gaming?

I didn't game much at all after the N64 WWF and WCW games.

Then my good friend introduced me the Sega Dreamcast in 01' I believe and that's all she wrote.

Been gaming hard since; consoles, portables, phones, and tablets.
