and really i tried looking into new stuff, old stuff but nothing ignites the flame.
anime feel so generic.
movies are just slop.
cant find a decent tv show.

What attracted you to gaming in the first place? There must be a reason. Find that reason and you'll probably start enjoying your games again.

Maybe you just need an extended break from gaming, we all get burned out, take a break and come back refreshed, so to speak.

having a hard time appreciating games usually means having a hard time appreciating life

Well if you close your eyes, turn off the lights, and imagine you're someplace else real hard, maybe they can touch you instead.

maybe u need a break to refresh a bit

so i'm gona say i started gaming on a 386 and NES
back then DOOM and Descent, C&C running in dos as intended XD
i just dont like doom anymore it's gone it's own place where i dare not follow
and there's few games like descent

i like coding but im not up for that right now...
Waiting for Dust RTS to release should be fun.
my love for my AAA fps games have dwindled, because the way the developers operate now is nuttty.

I felt the same about games until I got stellar blade now even old games are fun again, God bless Eve, Lily, Tachy and Raven and bless their behinds. 🙏

You play a lot of different genres, maybe try something new that you've never tried before, you could even look at mods (if the game allows it), change the game to your liking, it could be a few simple visual changes or a complete overhaul of the game.

Have a look at the indie games if the AAA games have no more appeal.

Failing that, you could take a long break from gaming completely until you see something you like then come back to it.

depending on how your life is going, not even the best game ever will hook you.
might wanna look into what's on your mind while playing.
I know I never enjoy a session whenever I"m thinking about something else.

What you are describing OP, are all textbook symptoms of a depression.

And I know that, because I go through the same sh!t too. Nor am I medicated for it.

Either I've gotta sleep it off, grind it off at work for a while until it breaks of its own,or some combination of the two...

Or I've gotta hit the weights and start doing compound exercises.

Now admittedly what allows me to pull myself through this in this way is that I'm highly introverted and wildly creative so, time alone is usually how I pull it off and I just lean into that.

You kind of have to F.A.F.O. with it a bit, and find what works best for you. Everybody handles it differently.

There's a solution for that I found - Death Stranding.

play this, will make you love games again:
