Even with Violet, which I played the most, I got bored after 90 hours in 37 days.

How is everyone playing the game?

Games Played: Over 50 hours – Pokémon Violet, Over 10 hours – SUPER MARIO MAKER 2, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. SPECIAL, MHXX, Nintendo Switch Version, YouTube, Niconico, Ring Fit Adventure – Over 1 hour, GUNDAM BREAKER 4, Pokémon Sword, The Legend of Zelda: BREATH OF THE WILD, GUNDAM BREAKER 4 Open Network Test Version, World of Games 51, Crafting Things – Just a little, Karaoke.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx49

I think it’s enough…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

I won’t do it.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Install the DLC of life, which is your wife and children.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Exercise a little more.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Breath of the Wild no good?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Isn’t that a mental issue at 30?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Open-world games are really popular, but they can vary greatly in how well they suit different people.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It won’t even start up at all.

I haven’t bought any games since I realized I had 5 or 6 games piled up that I haven’t played at all.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

You don’t have to play games for a long time!

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

If it’s not fun, I don’t think you have to continue it.

That’s what hobbies are all about, right?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s time for a different hobby.

I felt the same way.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The conversation is completely different between online games and offline games.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like it’s enough to think of it as a game that usually ends when you clear the story.

How about a genre that progresses little by little every day like Animal Crossing or Minecraft?

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I stopped doing it in my mid-20s, but I started again after turning 30.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Pokémon basically a theory where time comes after that?

It’s meaningless to just pass the time in the game.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

How about quitting the bulletin board and getting some exercise instead?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

RPGs can be quite tough, huh?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

OW is too wide and makes me go “ugh…”

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Other people are other people, after all.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Monster Hunter, it’s been 2-3 years for other titles, so even playing daily for about an hour a day, you can reach that much…

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Regardless of age, ultimately it’s just a matter of whether you’ve come across a game that you truly enjoy; total playtime doesn’t matter.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, if you’re not a gamer, you don’t have to do it.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Maybe someday I’ll want to do it again.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It really feels like everyone is playing this lineup of games!

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I also had a time when I was nearing 30, thinking my 20s were ending… feeling like an old man… and it really affected my mental state.

Well, I thought that even after turning 30, nothing really changes!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe you’re not suited for solo games.

Try doing activities that involve facing your opponent in real life, like games or horse racing.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Isn’t it the end if you complete something like Pokémon?

Interpersonal stuff is just content for lazy people, right?

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When my mental state is affected, I find it hard to focus on my hobbies, but the fact that I can play for dozens of hours in a month means that doesn’t apply here.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

As we get older, we become more easily fatigued and start to worry about spending time with family, making it harder to carve out time for ourselves.

A bulletin board that can be used anytime, anywhere is the best!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

PowerWash Simulator is highly recommended!

That’s mindfulness.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do whatever you want.

I’ve been like that since I was a teenager.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

You can always create a bulletin board anytime…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m grateful for mobile games that I can play during my spare time…

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

If you can play for 90 hours, that’s more than enough.

Even if you do it for 3 hours a day, it will still take a month.

If it’s only 8 hours on one of the weekends each week, then it would take three months.

If you do it for one hour each on the weekends, it will take 10 months.

Working adults don’t have time.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You’re the type who plays games for the community, too.

You’re not the type to do it because you like games.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just by overcoming the reluctance to press the power button, it’s already okay, or rather.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can play Go or shogi.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I find that games that people often say you can play for hundreds of hours don’t usually last for me, but I’m able to enjoy games that have clear guidance and story where they tell you to do this and that.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been playing games for over 30 years since I was born, but I recently thought my motivation might be waning… However, I ended up playing Xenoblade Chronicles for 130 hours, so it was just in my head, haha!

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recommend it because it makes me want to play games when I’m on the bulletin board.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t 30 not really an age where you start to feel old?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, I had the energy and time to play all the software I liked, but now I have to be selective.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like a game that can be bought cheaply would be suitable.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Usually, doing a few of them in a year is considered quite a lot.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s just a simple hobby or play that I’ve grown tired of…

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I started to think that it’s strange for me to have several games on the Switch that I’ve played for over 1000 hours.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just checked my playtime for Violet, and it was 1855 hours.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m almost 40, but I’ve cleared four this month alone, so age doesn’t matter.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you are unemployed, you can play games infinitely.

I did it.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It depends on the person, but when I’m struggling mentally, just launching the game is tough.

It is concerning for the mental health that I get bored one after another after playing for less than 10 hours, but if there is something else I am passionate about, it seems like my interest in the game itself is just dwindling.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The main purchase has shifted from the packaged version to the download version.

I bought it like in the old days, but I’m busy now, so I thought I’d do it later.

There will no longer be situations like when something is unearthed during a big cleanup several years later.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The decline in motivation due to aging applies to everything, so there’s no point in worrying about it.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I played the free Digimon game, a lot of Digimon from my childhood appeared, and as I was playing while reminiscing, I realized I had spent about 100 hours on it and was a bit surprised.

The nostalgic bias is strong.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The first time you feel old in life is probably just around that area.

You will come to feel this many times from now on.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too easy to just lie down and stream videos or podcasts, and now playing games feels like a hassle.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m just playing Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. non-stop.

I’m becoming like my parents who used to clean the garden whenever they had time.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it’s fine to just consider it a change in how we enjoy games.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s perfectly normal for hobbies to change, so it’s fine to get tired of games.

The question is whether there are hobbies other than gaming.

If you don’t have it, find it quickly.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thanks to becoming unemployed, I was able to quit playing mobile games.

Because it costs money.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

When work is busy, I don’t feel motivated to do anything, not just games.

When the stress disappears and I consistently get off work on time, I end up having quite a bit of fun.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Games with social elements or collection elements can deeply engage some people, but there are also those who don’t feel that way.

Let’s search for the genres we really love without being tied down by popular or trending works!

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

In social games where the pressure to spend money isn’t strong, you can become a free-to-play warrior by investing time, but in types of social games where performance or gacha are tough, the spending pressure creates a critical gap, making them incompatible with the unemployed.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

I played Genshin Impact for 300 hours without spending money and pulled for myself.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there are more of the same games recently.

What I played to the point of almost dying around 30 years old was… Pokémon and Diablo.

It’s not on Switch, but I’ve still been playing a lot of EXVS2.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

But it’s really impossible to play one or two games over the course of a year, isn’t it?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

I clear everything except for giving up on the difficulty after buying it.

After that, I wondered how others felt and watched live commentary videos, etc.

I’m searching and looking.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Well, one could say that because of work, one can also devote themselves to their hobbies.

Yeah, it’s really messed up.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Why are you trying to boast about that time in the first place?

It’s normal to finish within a few dozen hours if you’re just clearing it normally.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nothing is enjoyable no matter what I do.

I can’t do anything other than lazily browse the internet.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to quit the bulletin board more than the game.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you don’t have time, you can just quit the bulletin board.

If you don’t have the motivation, you can just do something else.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s okay to disconnect from the internet and think about the things you want to do while taking a little walk outside in the daylight.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Simply put, the time I sleep has increased compared to the past.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine, just do it when you feel like it.

I’ve only made about one a year for the past 10 years, but once I start, I get really into it.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I was unemployed and struggling mentally, I was so free but didn’t start any games at all.

I’m busy with work and home now, but I still play games for two hours every day.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I realized I had spent 210 hours playing Monster Hunter while complaining about it.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to go “woooo” right after the release.

Now I’ll play a competitive game that I’ve been doing for a long time out of inertia.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The lineup clearly shows signs of fighting game fatigue.

Do something calmer.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

Play a game that is suitable for one person, not rushed, and seems like it can be enjoyed for a long time.
