Default Re: Getting Burned Out

I know what you mean, though I am far from that point with SE IV right now. No matter how good the game, there comes a time when you have to move on, in fact I tend to take breaks fairly often - increasing the games longevity. I have stopped playing SE IV several times already and come back to it later, a testiment to its' quality. I did the same with MOO II for quite a while. These breaks can refresh your interest for quite some time, but again, one ultimately reaches a point where there is nothing further to be learned and thus no more fun to be had...

The big games I will play next:

Turn Based Strategy:
- MOO III (a no brainer there)
- Age of Wonders II (this should be a no brainer for anyone interested in turn based strategy, fantasy or not.)
- CIV III

RTS:
- Kohan Immortal Sovereigns (already out playable for free on Gamespy)
- Warcraft III

RPG:
- Morrowind

That should keep me covered for another year or two...

You should go sit on a beach somewhere for a week. That's what I am doing. But I am just burned out from daily routine. Just a little change up before the end of the year rush.

I agree, I took break from Se4 and played Shogun for awhile, still played SE4 hotseat on Sundays, and just now came back to SE4 again. With all the new games coming out over the next several months a break just makes SE4 better when you come back.

Sinapus, you have civ3, how is it? better then 2?
