How old is too old to be gaming?
I'm a little older than your average gamer, mid 40's approx. Recently someone told me that I should give it up and do something a little more age appropriate. It was after a game of crucible and this little person seems to think that I'm a little bit over the hill to be playing Destiny. I give this person zero credibility cuz more than likely it was past their bedtime. What are your thoughts?
P.s. Despite everything, I really enjoy the game
It is very awesome to see the replys, thank you. Time to go and school the next generation.

We grew up with gaming and can appreciate the advances in consoles, graphics and controllers. I still remember playing pitfall, Metroid, Top Gun and so many others. If it weren't for our generation, gaming might not even exist. Keep playin, these kids have no idea what they're talking about.

2 通の返信Funny thing is, nobody would consider asking such questions about reading books, watching films, or any other popular entertainment that I can think of - only perhaps a particular TYPE of book, film, etc, aimed at a certain age group It's perhaps a measure of how immature videogames are considered culturally, that even players themselves can feel guilty enough to ask such a question

16 通の返信There is no such thing as "too old to be gaming". Those same little kids fail to realize that their favorite games are being imagined created and distributed by these same "old people". I used to hear the same BS about being a girl gamer. The whole "video games are for boys" "you actually play video games? Like real video games? " the list goes on. I feel if it makes you happy and you're not hurting anyone DO IT! Now as for these 9yr olds on COD they need to get their arses off and go play outside! There is a such thing as being too young to play certain games (anything I'm playing!)

I'm 52 so I had to vote "never too old". But I would have done anyway. I've been playing computer games since the 70's. It's one of my hobbies and I cannot think why I'd ever stop - especially not as the hardware and software just get better and better every year. Like many I'm just waiting for either the Occulus or Sony VR headset to finally materialise! The whole thing just gets better and better. (I still pay asteroids or invaders from time to time for nostalgia but the versions you can get for Xbox, PS3, PS4 never seem "quite right" - I guess you really need it all mounted in an upright box!)

1 返信I feel like being dead would be too old to stop gaming. I think that's when I'll finally put down my controller.

I'm the same age as you. Have fun. It's nobody's place to tell you your too old. I have many friends in their forties who are doing well in Destiny. PvP is about practice. Even I can be number one in a crucible match if I get hot. Usually it's about luck and skill. Game on sir. Never surrender! We played at arcades with these things called quarters. That was some real PvP!

theghost_bgrtにより編集済み: 10/21/2015 4:58:45 PMThere's never an age too old for gaming. Unless your one of those type of older folk that hasn't mastered the jump ability. Played with a few older gentleman the other day during raid and they just couldn't jump for the life of them at any jump point and especially at sister part. I'm In my mid 20s

kushdelite420により編集済み: 10/21/2015 4:22:40 PMYou shouldn't care what kids say. I play with people in their 40s I'm in my Mid 20s but I will still be gaming until I'm too old to hold a controller. I already have carpultunnel from gaming and work so it's hard to say if I will last to 40 but I hope so hahah. Do what makes you happy if ur wife doesn't bitch about gaming ur good to go.

1 返信Like Gooch_McGrundle says, No such thing as too old! I am mid 30's and most people I play with are in their late 30's to early 40's. I hate playing with teenagers, as they talk too much.
