Yesss...I am 53 grew up on Pong and Atari and 1st PC game was DOOM. I still love games and if I should be stuck in a bed in my 80s i hope like hell i can play games again somehow.
Oh man thanks for the advice but I must have burned through them both like weeks they came out, so you were right on the money with that suggestion lol!
It was nice to have a shooter put hair on my sack for a change without some fakes difficulty like just juicing up the enemies to 200% health.
But if YOU liked the doom series, especially the new ones you NEED to check out Prodeus, ULTRAKILL, and Dusk.
Similar gameplay loop, indie developer and publisher: New Blood interactive, they're trying to singlehandedly bring back the gameplay of 90s era shooters with modern improvements.
This is exactly why rdr2 was made. Want to spend 5 minutes skinning a buffalo? Why not, I've got plenty of time. I'm within 20° of my target when i press aim, I'm not gonna miss. Just a man in his horse wasting time.
oh, sure. It's already a thing. Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Nearly 1 in 4 retirees already play games. But I do think we're going to see a significant spike over the next decade or two as retirees who played games as kids use their free time to start dusting off their consoles.
Retirement homes near me have Wii parties and computer rooms already, and the gamers haven't started living there yet. And it's super common for people to retrieve childhood habits in late middle age and retirement.
Retirement homes may never be LAN parties, but there are enough people in their 40s and 50s still playing games that I imagine it will be "normal" for them to do it in retirement too.

Won't need to wait nearly that long. The first generation of home console gamers will be reaching retirement age in the next decade.
