When Does a Game Stop Being Fun?

It's all fun and games until you hate the games and the fun is long gone.

from my experience, Destiny was a fun game from day1 that kept deteriorating with every update as Bungie struggle trying to appease Redditors and end up alienating a large bulk of quite gamers.

Destiny is still fun, but they did make a lot of silly mistakes. In my opinion the worst was leaving behind the old Raids with every new one. They should have updated the old Raids with new gear and difficulty. Vault of Glass was never topped but because it became so easy over time with no new rewards the enjoyment of it was lessened with every release. Sill not a game I like to use as an example though. I have over a 1000 hours in that game, so it stayed fun much longer than most games. I think for all games it is just a matter of content becoming to familiar and it gets boring. That is just life.

Simple answer: When you get bored of it.

Complex answer: When the game runs out of quality replay value options like different main story ending, interesting single player modes, fun and engaging online multiplayer/community, co-op options etc etc etc

..Then there's games like overwatch, which have almost none of that, except for the fact that it's so incredibly basic that anyone can hop in, shoot some ppl, get called a winner and trash talk before quitting.

..Which is fine of course, sometimes simple is what a person needs, but I certainly wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for it myself.

..Next thing you know we'll be paying 100+ dollars for a single player story game. XD

..Oh wait, we already are.

Um.....when it gets boring.?

BrianOBlivion3239d ago

The moment you realize that endlessly grinding for ever diminishing returns of slightly incremental virtual loot has become a waste of precious life.

Hello fellow Path of Exile player!

Lol!
"Grinding Gear Games" is not very subtle.

Nothing lasts forever, so as long as you had some fun for a while then cool. If it stops being fun then move along, there are tons of options out there.

Life's short, play hard.

Nintendo Switch 2 Drops Must-Play Free FPS You Can Enjoy From Today

In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.

The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.

As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.

Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.

Neonridr72d ago

you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.

that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.

repsahj72d ago

They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
