if you're bored-

[soulpimpwizzurd]

just stop playing. real talk. pso2 is boring/gets boring. all games will pretty much always eventually, get boring, if you're playing by yourself.

Spoiler!

if you're bored or not having fun with games anymore, you only win once you find a new hobby that you can truly enjoy for hours on end. i say this because if you're bored and you keep looking to this game for entertainment but it's not giving it to you, it really never will.

if you look to this game for entertainment because no other games even have a chance of entertaining you, so you keep complaining about this game because it's boring but could be better, just stop playing.

if you're still having immense fun with games that's great, but if you're bored and you find yourself cycling through games playing largely by yourself (games are fine if you're playing with friends and having a good time), imo something is missing in your life and it's up to you to find a new proper activity to start moving forward instead of stagnating.

you already burn a lot of time if you drop 3+ hours on video games a day, but if you're dropping time on video games AND not even having fun like you may have used to, then it's just,

what's the point? why do you continue to keep playing even though you stopped having fun? how is this a logical usage of your time?

guys like rock have it figured out. he only plays with friends i think which is always fun, and when he gets bored of games he just draws or something.

but to the others that audibly complain that the game is boring, they make me suspect they are similar to how i was, just continuing to play games even though they aren't even having fun anymore. a way to literally kill time, since they don't know anything better or more fun to do.

obviously not everybody has a problem with games but i'm sure there are more than a few here that do. if you're too prideful and you don't wanna admit to yourself you have a problem with wasting your life away with video games, wake up dude. at this point for me even learning how to shuffle playing cards in different ways is more fun and interesting than playing games (aside from IIDX)

quit holding yourself back. quit stagnating. there's more to life than the color of video games, which always seems to be vibrant upon first sight, but never fails to quickly fade into an all encompassing, dull, gray.

Good pep-talk....I think.

It's more complicated than that and I think you're oversimplifying things too much. People have played this game for hundreds, if not thousands, of hours. Yes, those people could be blamed for playing too much, but at the same time those hours spent are an investment. If people invest those hours to improve their gear/etc, don't you think the game should reflect that investment?

So then maybe people had unreasonable expectations coming into the game and then playing hours on end. But I think if you expect people to simply walk away after realizing all their time spent was essentially lost, then you're...naive.

People complain for several reasons, not just to vent:
-question where they went wrong ("if the game is fun but not for me, what am I doing wrong?")
-inform others so as to not make the same mistake
-sway a movement that will catch SEGA's attention (although considering it's the EN community on a JP server, these attempts are sadly in vain)

I understand people don't like reading negativity. But going into a thread titled "Bored...", what else would you expect?

The only thing pso2 really needs that would cure it of its boredom,
is photon chairs.

That is all.

I just want to like it so badly. And I mean, I do like the game, it's just like, mbleh!, you know?

My complaints with this game is the same for most Phantasy Star Games so far and its: no end game content (only Infinity seemed to have this), no variety (this was for PSU though this get ironed out within the year) and difficulty (more so after AoTI).

I approve of this comment.
