Subject: Lost that excitement to play

Well I'm bored so I thought I'd write something...

I just got the internet back on the other day after being off for a month and my girlfriend said to me "You can play Halo if you want". I said "I'm cool, how about we just watch a movie instead".

I thought about this for a second and thought I'd would have never passed up a opportunity in the past to play Halo. So what has changed so much that I just can't be bothered playing anymore?..

I remember with past Halos I would jump on with mates for 5-6 hours and play to 3am in the morning not realising where the time went. Now I'm lucky to get on and play more than 2-3 games.

What has changed so much? I know Halo 3 was bad but I would still play so much of it?...

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Same thing with me. Even when I do practically force myself into matchmaking (like once a week), I can barely get through 5 games without quitting due to boredom and irritation.

I was doing the same thing but now I can't be bothered even getting my xbox out. It's a sad day considering how much my friends and I used to play. Not one of them even gets on now.

Signatures are for little kids.

You're just getting older.

I used to be able to play for 8 hours strait, now I play max of 8 team slayer games a week.

I still enjoy it, but I can't maintain focus for too many games in a row before I start doing poorly.

Once I start doing poorly, time to play single player game like Dark Souls (or Skyrim tomorrow).

So then I said, "Wait a minute! That is my sister!"

Sometimes people can't believe how old they are getting. While Halo has been around 10 years so have we. This doesn't mean your not interested in gaming. Just not so much in Halo. Maybe you need something a little more mature, more focused campaign games that way you can put in an hour or so of time in and still feel accomplished. If you want a rewarding multiplayer experience, maybe an MMO or change it up with the fighting genre, or get your friends/gf involved so it would seem more fun.

I lost that excitement within the first week when I realized this game was terrible.
