How old are you & pre-order

Post » Sat Dec 04, 2010 12:56 am

You know the average age for a gamer is 34, right?

Look it up.


There are stats about it?34?Interesting.

Well some studies say 30 and rising to 34 but it's really interesting,i thought it was much lower.

Hello everyone, guess here is a good place to start posting on these boards.

I'll be 30 in June and was fortunate enough to receive the game in a gift(thanks Entaro)for said birthday on steam, can't wait as the game looks absolutely superb.

Been playing fps games a very long time since the original doom on pc, then got really into the genre when Quake came around. I love team vs team based combat, and this game will certainly deliver in that aspect.

Cheers,

polls like these crack me up they always show up that majority are 20+ but if for whatever reason i mention my age when playing a game (24) i get told im too old for games haha.


LOL you're too old? I'm 36 although I'm not one to mention my age while in a gaming lobby.

Haha yeah, age really isn't a usual topic although it is hilarious when some youngun tells you age is relevant in regards video games. Always makes me wonder if they have ever stepped foot into a real arcade, or who they think makes video games in general.

Oh i beg to differ. Its kinda weird when you are over 40 and play videogames, or at least First Person Shooters.

One is never too old to have a happy childhood.

I agree that this is pretty vague. I mean, 13-20? I'm 18, and the amount of difference in gaming habits between me and my 13 y.o. self are pretty massive.

But to contribute to this discussion, I have not pre-ordered it, but am planning to.

Seems awfully vague, 10 year ranges don't exactly provide a lot of info :confused:


That's the whole point. We don't want to give away specific info.

But is IS.

The older you are, the better your chances of having those few extra years' experience.

If I meet someone older than me in-game, they're usually there because they've been playing games longer than I have. It's intimidating for anyone with half a brain to go up against.

I started my FPS career with Doom, and when Quake 2 was the game to play, the people who were most able to kill me were the ones who came from Wolfenstein 3D.

Saying someone's too old to play is as stupid as telling the girls to "make me sammiches" as they SLAUGHTER YOUR ENTIRE TEAM WHILE OUTNUMBERED. And that still happens. Angry girl gamer = unstoppable force of nature. Don't be sixist. Or Age-ist. Or anything-ist, for that matter. it just makes them mad. Then you die. Slowly, painfully, and usually after great humiliation.

Summer, I agree that one is never too old to play a video game or have fun in any way whatsoever. But with all due respect, I think you phrasing might not be the best. Saying that a 40 year old, for example, is living a happy childhood, well that might not be to appropriate. :)

But yes, there is nothing wrong with an older crowd playing video games. Video games are just a break from reality and provide a sense of passive competitiveness between players. I myself am 21 and am going to college, close to graduation, so I am not some type of loser that sits in mommy's basemant playing video games all day. i personally believe that as long as video games dont run your life and stop you from living a healthy life then you are fine.

video games good....too much video games bad.

No, only retired folks can have a happy childhood. Better than the first one minus the aches and pains. :twirl:

And btw, it's really not my phrasing but instead a quote from "Still Life with Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins. One of my all time favorite quotes next to the ones in my sig. Sorry for not giving him credit but I say it so much it seems like my own by now.

And I will be playing games until my dying day. No doubt about that one.
