I have been a fairly dedicated console owner for most of my life. We started with the 2600, but eventually had every nintendo system, a PS1 and a PS2 and all handhelds. I currently play games on my PC and DS. But not very often. It's like I'm in some sort of videogame depression or something.
I don't own a Wii, despite being super pumped to get one before and after launch. I don't have a 360 nor a PS3. I just can't get motivated enough by the super duper game of the month to actually go out and invest in one of those systems, despite some truly awesome titles lurking around for all systems.
I'm not going to go on a crazy rant about how games suck now, or if they're art, or if they're too violent and shit like that. The problem is me, because I can't bring myself to finish an awesome game like Bioshock. I stopped playing after the Ryan/Atlas/Fontaine reveal and can't be bothered to finish it - and I was riveted up until that point.
I can't play more than 5 levels of CoD4 without getting apathetic either. I was super excited about TF2 and played a lot, but I fell off. I had a 4 month long CS:Source addiction and again, fell off. Loved Contra 4 with a passion but that quickly faded as well.
So please tell me fellow dtoiders - what the eff is my problemo?

You might want to put a spoiler warning for the Bioshock thing, despite the fact that it's been plastered all over Dtoid about a billion times.
How could you possibly get apathetic about CoD4's awesome campaign?
I play a lot more than fps games, I was just using them as an example. I tried cooking mama over the weekend and loved it, as well as brawl which kicked major ass.
I'm counting on SF4 to help a lot with my troubles though, and I'm hoping it's just late winter/early spring blahs.
...and Char, I'm starting to feel like I'm losing some cred so you're not too far off.
