I'm 73 - was top scorer in an Iron Banner match!
Yes, I'm really 73 in a couple of weeks and Destiny is the first video game I ever played. I was a 2014 Christmas nube and have played almost every day since late January of 2015. I'm not very good because of my reflexes and eyesight. I also have periferal neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes your hands and feet to go numb. I played alone for 8 months because I had zero skills and didn't want to be the guy that people didn't want on their fire team; bad KTD ratio. Eventually I got better ( thanks to gameguy1973) and recently I started going to Iron Banner but I was never able to complete the bounty requiring you to get the highest score - until tonight. So don't get discouraged if things don't go your way. If an old fart like me can do this you good players can do anything.
Edit: Just wanted to take a minute and thank you guardians for all the nice comments, support, friend requests and invitations to clans. I'll try to respond where appropriate. To you few doubters I'll try to post something on YouTube to prove my age. Got to get the camera back from my daughter.
Edit: Didn't need the camera, I used my iPad to record and post to YouTube. We old dogs can learn new tricks.

1 ReplyGlad to hear it. I have many older XBOX buddies whom I call friends with differing degrees of skill. Every last one of them was able and willing to learn how to raid and every last one of them could show younger guys how to raid properly. I'm glad your a guardian. Wish there were many more like you.

5 RepliesCongratulations guardian!! I'm 10 years behind you with some neuropathy of my own. It's great to see people our age gaming. I started with my kids & haven't looked back.

1 ReplyGo easy on these kids! ;) not many have experienced war, let alone live combat. You probably have a tactical advantage. Nice job! I've had that bounty for several months now. I've done it before, but not lately.

1 ReplyCongrats! Age is just a freaking number. I'm 46 and played Destiny since a month after original launch. Met a lot of great people. Gives me hope I'll still be playing when I'm 73!

2 Repliesthe whole notion that you're too old to play video games is one of my least favourite things in the world. I'm almost 25 and I hear elders in my (subcontinental Asian) community who tell ME I'm too old to be playing games. Enjoy yourself OP and everyone else out there. Play. Games.
