Im 29 turning 30 in Feb and I feel like im too old to be playing, I have a wife and 2 kids in which I spend quality time with and work 6-7 days a week usually.
I play Destiny whenever I find the time to do so but lately I keep getting invited to do VOG (I still havent done it yet) and the other 5 fire team peeps are like screaming 12-13 year olds and that is also the reason I refuse to use a mic.
Tbh, I feel embarrassed because these people are young and being the only adult just makes me feel uneasy, like if I used a mic and spoke they will probably give me shit about my age and some of the people wont let me come do VOG unless I use a mic anyways.
It was like when I played mw2 when it came out and the lobbies filled up with screaming trash talking kids and it spread like a cancer so I quit and haven't touched a CoD game since lol. I bought the game to enjoy it,not to listen to kids yell at each other going on about being molested by their dad or gay this and gay that.
I just dont know what to do? I think I might just stay at level 29, any other adults here that feel like they can somewhat relate to this?
[EDIT] So much positive feedback, I was not expecting so many replies and you can believe me when I write that I have read every single comment in this thread and it warms the heart knowing just how many others are just like me.
Thank you so much everybody.
Oh and I noticed a few people asking what console im on, im on the PS4 and I will be sure to check out the mature clans out there that were suggested.

31 and work and study. I play to unwind after a late night at work, and on Uni holidays when I don't need to think about studying. I mostly play with close real life friends, but the Aussie clan I'm in is quite good with great people. Only come onto the forums for game updates and to have a laugh at the screaming kids..... Cheers, Alex

I am 25, not really "old" but it does feel weird when my raid team is talking about high school shit or they start talking to their parents over the mic. Never screaming and never squeakers, most of my team is 16 to 21 an me at 25.

Dont feel bad I am in the same boat, I have two kids play occasionally in my days off while they are in school but long story short agree with you!

Im 20, I already feel old :< But really, I don't think age matters just as long as you're having fun!

I'm 27 and unfortunately most console gamers are young. A lot of the people I play with are real life friends and friends of friends. If your wanting to play a game with more of an older crowd I would recommend any MMORPG such as World of Warcraft as they tend to have more mature gamers.
