Doom Burnout?

[7Mahonin]

I suggest those burnt out from single player to try playing deathmatch or some other multiplayer game mode other than coop. When I finally was in the mood to play single player again, I noticed I played the game entirely different than before from all that I learned in deathmatch servers. I don’t think it necessarily makes you better at single player or anything but it gives you a different perspective on the map design layouts, the weapon and item locations, better understanding of the weapons in general, better use of the control layout, and the use of strafing in combat. Well, at least for me it did.

I am totally burnt out on Doom, I legit almost can't recover, I just find myself uninterested in playing or mapping or hell even watching stuff about Doom at all at this point.

 

There however may be other things affecting that, I find myself unable to engage with most things nowadays, find myself tired 24/7 ect ect you've heard it a million times before.

Hiya!

 

It happens. I'm just coming "back" after about a 3'ish year "semi-hiatus" (DOOM Eternal is the exception; I'm talking about "Classic DOOM/Heretic/Hexen" stuff I stepped away from).

 

Don't worry. I've been on Doomworld since...geeze...I have no idea. Before 2000, I know that (under "pming"...that's me). You know the saying: "Only three things in life are certain; Death and Taxes...and Doomworld". ;)

 

So take a step back. Go play some DOOM Eternal if you haven't already (imnsho, easily just as good...maybe better!... than DOOM 2 for me). It's DOOM, but "modernized". Amazing game. Or...just step back completely and go do something else. Learn how to paint, or take up fly fishing, or whatever grabs your attention. As I said... DOOM and Doomworld will still be here when you're ready to come back.

tbh i just play my fave old stuff and whatever Ribbiks wads appear these days
when I open the map editor I make stuff vanishingly related to what people like about the game, feel fairly firm in my convictions of never wanting to look at a midi sequencer again as well lol

feel like a fraud cos i was always hoping something like the wadazine would appear and now it's around i have no energy for the game

No I had alot of fun playing it if you talked about me, It started happening about a 3 weeks after Gehenna. Gehenna is wonderful its just that I have been playing alot more doom other than Gehenna for a pretty long time and am starting to feel burnt out. But I have been taking a break and think very soon that I can be playing doom again.
