RE: Are Games Still Fun?

You are addressing the problem directly. Players say games aren't fun but then they wont bother to learn a new genre or title! I used to follow my friends to every 'Flavor of the Month' game that was of the same genre. They insisted they weren't going to get tired of playing, only after two weeks for them to say 'Nah, let's try something else.'.
It's just ridiculous sometimes. I've tried to attract people to new game types only for them to fight back kicking and screaming to return back to their 'comfy' genres where they lack growth. I can understand being in a comfort zone but the best parts of trying a new game genre is figuring out how different it is to the regular.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic! It's tough as a gamer to hear that 'games are no fun' from others when, like you said, they wont even bother to venture around another genre. Hopefully their sense of exploration and interest in other titles kicks up and we can leave this lazy 'sentiment' behind.
Duude yesss. People just want to stay stuck in their comfort zones and once things get boring they don't understand why they're boring.
My friends were always starting new Minecraft worlds, but it was only after we didn't play for a long while that we're actually managing to keep our stuff in one.
I guess we needed time and space away from the sameness of Minecraft, and it worked! Not to mention playing other games at the same time too.
