    I think the type of game really makes a difference. Games with fetch quests, a laundry list of waypoints on a map, and tons of bland cutscenes in between simple gameplay put me to sleep now.

    Challenging games keep me better occupied, because it's fun to be solving a puzzle of some sort (even if that puzzle is "how to approach this boss"). Strategy and tactics are consistently fun for me too.

    This is why I have such a soft spot for From Software games. I don't care if I have to die 30 times trying to cross a bridge it'll still keep me engaged trying to figure out a way or just mastering the technique rather than play another Assassin's Creed tailing mission for 30 minutes following some braindead ai.

    I have a habit of playing those for a few days and then becoming so enraged I put it down for a year. I actually just picked PS3 Demon's Souls to finally get platinum.

    The frustration is understandable and I don't blame anyone for rage quitting, on that note I admire your courage to actually pick up Demon's Souls. May your controller have the fortitude to accept your wrath and remain whole.

    I was feeling that way last year for a good 2 months or so, was seriously considering turning in some of my high end gear for cash and getting my streambox upgraded

    Then Battlebit Remastered dropped and I realized I was just really wanting a good Battlefield-style shooter and there wasn't one to scratch my itch

    It's started up again recently, and upon further reflection I'm in a driving game mood but all the ones out there RN are fucking oof

    So maybe it's the type/quality of the games you're trying out that's the issue
