    Nothing to play? I'm currently playing Battlefield 4, Titanfall, and Metro Last Light. I'm also close to finishing Far Cry 3 and just recently finished Crysis 3. All of those are fine games, not to mention the rest of Steam and Origin's giant catalogs. If you can't find anything to play, you're simply not looking.

    Dota 2 is IMO one of the highest skill cap games you are going to find, a mix of an strategy and MMORPG. Oh did I forget to mention it's only on PC/Linux/Mac. Not going to find that on X-Box/PS4.

    What are you even talking about? No games to play? Have you looked at the Steam store lately?

    If you can't find anything on the PC that interests you, do you even enjoy video games?

    There's a ton of games out there, you just have to look. Maybe you don't enjoy video games anymore?

    i actually have gotten really bored of gaming, i haven't touched many games in a while, i don't even know why, i play something for 5 minutes and get really bored... i don't understand how some of my friends sit and play for hours a week.. it's just so much repetition involved with almost everything.. just different settings and minor alterations, it has actually saddened me that i can no longer find enjoyment in something i once loved very much

    The picture wasn't showing... now I see. Set the scaling options in Intel graphics control panel, works for any laptop I've tried. You might have to lower desktop resolution, then go into the Intel control panel for the option to be available in other resolutions though. Stupid I know, but that's how Intel rolls.

    I figured it out how to keep scaling .. I had to lower resolution first on desktop to desired resol. which is 1366x768 and then I ran game and set same resol. which I want .. That INtel HD setting scaling is set to full screen but wont help if desktop resol. is set to full HD .. And Nvidia GPU is some kind attached to Intel HD 4400 they working together .. When I disabled HD 4400 then I couldnt acces Nvidia 750M too ..

    If all games are boring, I recommend getting a new hobby. It sounds like you're no longer interesting in PC gaming at all, otherwise some game out there would have piqued your interest by now. Guns, knives, flashlights, watches, hobby grade RC cars, and exotic fish are my suggestions.

    You should try The Settlers dude. It's a strategy game with medieval theme. It's really awesome!! Probably one of the best games i've ever played on PC.

    Yep, as others stated, variety is the spice of life! When I get a bit tired of FPS, I'll load up a strategy game or serious simulator. I always easily enjoy several hours in one of these games, problem is just finding the time.

    I'm currently enjoying Wargame:AirLand Battle and X plane 10.

    Problem sure isn't a lack of games available, you just need to expand what you are looking for.

    Try some of the classic oldies if the modern games aren't your style. Games in my favourite collection of older titles are; Half Life 2 (with episodes), Psychonauts, Beyond Good & Evil, Painkiller, the Serious Sams, Tron 2.0, NOLF & NOLF 2, Doom 3, Unreal 2.0 etc.

    These are the ones that bring up my nostalgia, as they are the games I played when I first started gaming on PC (my first laptop was bought in '08 and it had an Intel GMA 4500M - need I say anymore?).

    I say play some games that bring up your nostalgia, that should help you find something you love playing :)

    Approved.. :thumbsup: Last time I completed a game with misuss, it was Papo & Yo.. Probably next, Brothers : A tale of two sons could be a good idea after I feel need to rest from work related stuff.

    Screw those shooting games :D

    Amnesia: The Dark Descent is crazy good. Play in the dark with headphones.

    I haven't tried the sequel, A Machine For Pigs yet, it has since huge shoes to fill.

    If nothing is to your liking then sell your "gaming ultrabook" and do something else.

    why would i sell it? it is NOT console (JUST for games)

    in that amnsia graphic is so .. like in anime like disney films u can see it not realistic... i played it for an hour both amnesias not as good as outlast.. outlast has very good atmosphere + that green night vision makes it very terrifying + audio
    I've tried Slender: The Eight Pages the beginning was awesome nice daylight already scary surrounded by trees and their sound with wind .. and as walking down getting darker and darker .. that was awesome .. but as soon as ive entered in the house . crap .. uninstalled ..
    haunt is the remake of slender still crap.. tried dark souls . but that is rpg .. not keen on them.. I 've played METRO actually .. finished .. but didn't play metro 2 tho ..
    Am looking forward to play those new horor games : outlast 2 (Whistleblower) , asylum ,Paranormal: The Town, alien isolation (hope it won't be as colonial marines tho)

    I have no words. None.

    My final conclusion is you should take Wingnut's advice. Sell your 'gaming' ultrabook, get yourself a tablet, and just forget PC gaming exists. It's quite obvious that this multi-billion dollar industry that produces thousands of games a year is just not up to your quality standards and for that, we apologize. I've alerted Gabe Newell and the United Nations to your plight. Help should be arriving shortly in the form of nice men in white vans with special coats that lace up in the back.

    Amnesia's graphics are just fine. Sit yourself in a dark room with headphones and play it for 5 hours.. You will defecate in your pants.
