Why does it seem like every "new" game I play now is lasting a shorter and shorter amount of time compared to the repetitive GBA games I still own? If it weren't for the standstill I'm at in both Megaman Battle Network 3 and 6, I'd much rather be completing my files than ever attempting to play...Anything new, really. StarCraft II was great fun, but it's bored me now. I don't much like playing competitively, one because I'm really not that great at it and it's boring to keep losing, even if you learn from it, and two because I don't like playing competitively by nature. Despite my hate for the White Beast runs everyone wants to do most of the time, I'd rather play PSU360 than go back to Halo: Reach for a while. The Legend of Zelda - Four Swords Anniversary Edition is boring me with "oh no you must get the gold keys now!" and going through the same stages again. I'd much rather my Harvest Moon - Friends of Mineral Town cart shows up and still works, so I could be playing that.
I'll admit, the games I've listed as "new" aren't new at all, but I can manage to take breaks from them, partly because my brother takes Reach and StarCraft II to college with him, partly because even when they are here, I'll still be playing Minecraft, Harvests Moon, PSU and Megaman Battle Network instead. New Vegas held me for a while, but it declined when I found out that max level is 30. And no, I can't get any expansions. I might be interested in going back to Elder Scrolls - Oblivion if I could, but I can't at the moment. I loved Morrowind to death, though.
As to the games I'd rather be playing, you may wish to replace the names of them with older games you own/can borrow from a friend to see if your view fits mine. I won't doubt that at least some here won't share it, but meh. Taking a chance.
