anyone else feel the same way?

after all the media that SoE has pumped out with in game play and participating in the tech test / SoE community event, playing Planetside 2 has given me a thirst that nothing on the market can quench. I'm literally just sitting around waiting for beta at this point, and it seems when I try and kill the boredom by playing another FPS like BF3 or TF2 it seems to just leave a bad taste in my mouth and are unable to play it for more than 10 mins.

does anyone else feel the same way?

You have no idea. My gaming is effectively ruined.

All there is to do is wait

Yeah, hard to play anything else. I can't even play PS1 that long before I lose interest anymore. I bought several games in the Steam sale and have not touched them, nor do I have interest to any time soon.

I actually tried a couple Facebook games today... Made me feel a little sick inside.

My gaming has been this way for the past month. I can't even log into TERA. I've played a little Aion, even tried Mabinogi again... hell, I can barely even stand Planetside LIVE. Picked up a few steam games... can't bring myself to even bother downloading most of them. At least not yet.

I just want my Planetside 2. I need that feeling I got back in 2003, that same feeling when I first dropped onto the battlefield, alone, taking down two curious VS with my Gauss rifle from behind a rock and then taking that tower. I felt like a hero, like I made a difference. I was such a newb.

I want that feeling back, only this time I'm fighting for the right side!

I'm actually trying to avoid the beta, because I know that if i would be accepted into it, it would most likely suck my life away. Sort of busy on school stuff, and distractions like PS2 don't help

I feel exactly the same way as you do!
I played TF2 yesterday...got bored after 10 minutes and went to sleep!
Planetside 2 is like, idk...killing all other games or something!

I'm not having any trouble. I'm very bad at getting caught up in stuff like that. I've owned BF3, for instance, since it came out, and I've probably only played about 40 games of it since then. I used to get really hyped up for stuff when I was a teenager. Halo 2 comes to mind. These days though, I just take in all the news and info, and wait.

Not to say I'm not excited, but it's not effecting my life at all. Unless telling everyone I know about it counts. >.>

I've been playing better. Playing hardcore 64 man Rush on Battlefield 3 for practice with a lot of Mount&Blade Warband multiplayer thrown in.

So, no, I don't know what you are going through. But it does sound like it sucks. Take comfort in the fact that many of us will be in the beta in under a month.

Gugabalog · 2012-07-27, 10:33 PM

I wish I'd played PS1... I'd looked it up way back but don't do p2p. I'll buy games, but not subscribe.

I want a beta key so bad. This is a dream game, balanced or not.

Rivenshield · 2012-07-27, 10:34 PM

Nah. I'm willing to be patient. Stop eating your hearts out; you're only setting yourselves up for disappointment. No reality can ever measure up to the grandeur you imagine.

Tehroth · 2012-07-27, 10:44 PM

I've been playing bf3 prepping my fps skills.

cellinaire · 2012-07-27, 10:50 PM

No. My expectations neither affect my gaming life nor my view/verdict on other games. I sometimes even find games -which so many people seem to loathe- to be fun for me.

Yeah, you can easily say I'm an oddball... =)

soulsurfsublime · 2012-07-27, 10:55 PM

Aye, I to am in the despair of gaming that is waiting for PS2. I have like 8 or 9 games installed on PC and I have my PS3 and haven't really been able to get into anything. Just have to wait a few more days hopefully.

Past month? Try past 5 years.

And its not because I played PS1: I didn't.

I've lost so much hope in all facets of gaming and to see Planetside 2 is a refreshing possibility.

I'm amazed I missed the first one.

I don't have a gaming life anymore. My gaming life is playing whats good, which is almost only whats old, which means I'm getting sick of my hobby. Thats not good.

So like TC, I'm really only waiting for this. I'm doubtful, since I actually consider BF3 and COD4 to be the trash of gaming and this takes a few things from them, but I believe it can pull off something great with what it has.

Its not like there is anything better somewhere to wait for.
