I am 32. Been playing FPS for 20 years. I only realy play BF4, i try a few other games but have not spent that much time on them.
I would rather play a PC game like BF4 than aimlessly watch TV. I can’t think of anything more boring than watching TV.
I think I am above average. I got like rank 400 out of 80000 on one conquest server and rank 106 out of 60000 on another TDM server. But I am not a serious gamer, I am also a bit of alcoholic so drink like every day after work and play
I stopped watching TV when I was 16, I still watch films and tv series from torrents but never sit there flicking channels, I don’t even plug in the sat cable. Waste of time. I’d rather sit on youtube and watch some lectures or some podcasts than antique roadshow or some other BS.
Funny, I will probably be playing till old age. This is quite unique for our generation and the ones that came after because my parents never grew up with it, to my generation its just the same as watching TV.
Main reason I don’t want a girl friend to move in is because ill probably have to start watching ¯_(ツ)_/¯ TV and not game so much.
Since I’m not a professional gamer, I’m not concerned about my slowdown in reflexes and the like. Fortunately, my financial livelihood isn’t predicated on how well (or poorly) that I play video games.
I think the whole stigma of older gamers is not going to last much longer. It’s a product of previous generations. I’m 29, been gaming since I can remember, and don’t plan to stop anytime soon as there is always something bright and new on the horizon, like Battlefield 1.
Gaming today has grown to a billion dollar industry and is infinitely more widespread than its early days. I think people gaming into their 40s and even 50s will be a normal thing when I hit that age.
I’ve been gaming for many years … started on the “Sega Mega Drive” then bought my first PC game.. “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon” which was probably about 17 years ago and I’ve been PC gaming ever since.. I’m 55 years old and hope to be gaming for many more years to come.. I consider myself to be a very average gamer but that doesn’t certainly hamper the fun Factor..
The one guy in our clan is approaching 60. He is the best though, pays to rent the server and is the first to revive, spawn with ammo, or repair in heli’s.
I started gaming on Atari. Must’ve been in 1990. From there went on to Sega Mega Drive, then PC in 1996. Long period of no gaming from 2000-2010 . Bought an Xbox 360 in 2010 and a ps4 last year.
What stigma of older gamers? As someone who hasn’t even hit your 30s yet, you have no idea what you’re talking about when you say there’s a “stigma of older gamers”.
43 here, average at best tbh. All my clan mates are better then me. Do I care? Not really, I do my best at the role I play. And have fun going negative lol…Key word FUN…
I am 56…My kids and I play on my account, but it is mostly me playing. My reaction time is horrid compared to the younger crowd, but I use tactics to overcome my shortcomings. My K/D is not fantastic, but I am constantly attacking objectives and my score reflects that.
Grewed up with Pong,Atari 2600,Atari ST/C64,Amiga 500, and then many different Intel setups.Im bound to gaming since i was born in 1970.I guess with 66 i will be still gaming as the mate shown in the video.There is no real Age limit for gaming except competetive gaming.I for my own expirience would say for competetiv gaming max age is between 26 and 30.
