Man I used to play a ton of games. Now I can't get excited about any game.
I can always drop by TF2 and have fun tho. I guess I don't have the patience or time anymore to learn a new game. I used to love sim games too... just can't get into anything.
I'm looking for a new game to play when the server is empty. Maybe i'll just reinstall starcraft 2. Maybe I'll start making videos again. I worked so hard last year that I don't have to work this year if I wanted to lol.

Have you tried Skyrim, Diablo 3, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, Natural Selection 2? I haven't played all of them, but I hear that they're good!

I've been playing path of exile (http://www.pathofexile.com/ (http://www.pathofexile.com/)) almost exclusively for the past couple weeks. It's an action rpg like diablo, but deeper and more complex. If you liked or hated diablo 3, I'd give it a shot. Kripp (http://www.youtube.com/user/Kripparrian?feature=watch (http://www.youtube.com/user/Kripparrian?feature=watch)) has some decent videos from december explaining how things work in the game.
Right now it's in closed beta, but you can get in by donating $10. And, open beta is on the 23rd of this month. When it's released, it'll be free to play.

I was gonna play PoE when Open Beta was released. I've been playing Borderlands 2 for the last week or so though.

Well, there are so many good games to play. It really depends on what genre you like.
For multiplayer FPS with teamwork and strategy, I really recommend Natural Selection 2. It takes a little bit to get into, but once you do, it's an amazing game. And we have a server running 24/7 ;)
Skyrim is also a great game, but you need to install mods. Otherwise, it's a bit bland.
Dave mentioned Path of Exile, which is a good Diablo 2 clone, compared to the disappointing D3. Starcraft 2 is also great fun, especially with the new expansion coming.
Then, there's DOTA2 if you like MOBAs... I play a lot of 4X strategy games lately, both sci-fi and fantasy, but there are so many to list. One of my favorites lately is Crusader Kings 2. Takes a while to understand, but it's really cool.
Anyway, tell us the genres you're looking for, and we can help ;)

hehe i heard about path of exile from someone before. looks pretty good too.
lol the way you talk i used to be like that, i used to play so many games. just can't get excited anymore. i played diablo 3 to the ground pretty much. almost 24/7 lol. and then i realized it really sucked.
im mainly bored but cant get excited about playing other games. lol so weird.

I have the exact opposite problem. I blame holiday sales. :-\

For srs. Every time the season sales roll around, I blow all my money on new games. Also, just learned about the Humble Bundles too. Took all of my willpower not to buy the last one...
-
Heh, I'm the same. I think it's some kind of compulsive behavior. I've been buying so many games, games I have already played before, old games I probably will never play and even games I have no interest in, just because it was a good deal I couldn't pass up.
If you guys want, I could try to post whenever there are some good deals going on. At least, I won't be the only victim then ;)

http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals (http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals) usually has anything worth buying, and always check http://isthereanydeal.com/ (http://isthereanydeal.com/) before you make a purchase!

Torchlight 2
i was thinking about getting this :)
-
Torchlight 2 is fun, but quite boring in single player.
Make sure to play coop, because the story is ridiculous. Especially if you thought D3's story was bad.
At least you don't have to be online to be play Torchlight 2, and I kinda like the character progression/items drops a lot better than D3. I really don't like the extreme cartoony graphics though.

Lol I bought it via that sale, but I'm pretty sure I'll never play it. 3rd Person Cover shooters aren't very appealing to me.
I recommend the Indie Royale bundle though http://www.indieroyale.com/ (http://www.indieroyale.com/) : Defense Grid is an awesome Tower defense game. Gemini Rue is a neat adventure game. And Nuclear Dawn... well, I kinda like NS2 better.

Have 5 DOTA2 invites, want nothing, there `red` meaning they cant be claimed in china as almost everyone in china has the damn game lol, ask and you shall recieve,,,,no strings attached ^.^

whatever you do don't play Starcraft 2.
The there is almost no skill threshold in Starcraft , you every game you win puts you vs a harder opponent until you get to the top 200 where you will be playing vs possible professional players. Where every match is nail-baiting , build orders are down to the second.
Used to be a High Masters Random level player
I quit, my life is much happier now
Practiced 4-8 Hours a day, the game wasn't fun anymore, even when you won . Because the stress and brain power was so much lol .
(Hard to enjoy the fruits of your labor, like if you get top 3 in a hyperion match you feel like a 100 bucks. but for example if you get top 3 in Starcraft it will be like " ok congrats next match now you face a whole team of Glock Nines/Stabby Stabby -ts / ect. "
Also Starcraft is built for 1 vs 1
so the friend/ team factor is gone O_o
Can't wait for Heart of the Swarm yo comes out in about 2 weeks.
