    I’m 42. I suck at FPS. I downloaded battlefield 6 and hated it.

    It wasn’t always this way. I still have a screenshot from COD World at War where I got over 100 kills and only died once during a game.

      I miss the madness of Battlefield 1942.

      I remember if you were very high up in a plane and jumped out, your play would shit his pants while falling.

      I miss being good at games… But somehow I’m still better than like 50% of my teammates, it’s paradoxical

        Depending on genre the avg age of players has literally just kept going up.

        Gaming as we knew it is kinda dying. There’s no new blood into a lot of genres.

        MMOs, strategy, mobas etc as some great examples. The avg age of players is like 30+ cause the genres either arnt popular anymore or they went to mobile.

        Mobile gaming has basically gutted the pipeline for new PC and console gamers.

        As a kid there use to be plenty of folk from 10 to 40 playing wow or what ever hot new mmo was just released

        Nowadays you would be hard pressed to find someone under 25.
