What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

[Terminal_Boy]

Waiting for Plague Tail: Requiem and Uncharted 4.

Refuse to state my age amongst all you youngsters on this thread.

I‘m 57 very shortly. Started gaming on an Atari 2600, followed by a ZX Spectrum. Forgot gaming for a decade or two due to motorcycles, girls and alcohol until I picked up an original PlayStation not long after their U.K. launch.

My decision on what to play goes down to what goes on a steam sale, good price on a key or games pass. Shouldn't pay more than $20 for a video game after all. Gotten into pc building sim 2 atm. Playing through first plague tale game as well.

Plague Tale day is tomorrow (Tuesday). This should be Game of the Year for me!

$20? That's soon to be about £50 in the UK.

Risk online. Great fun.

Yes I don't think the Monkey Island quote quite holds true atm. Maybe in the refreshed mini budget there will be some public funding to go to making gaming cheaper

 

[Things change I've changed]

I'm nearly 50! Not a lot has changed for me regarding my game preferences, when I was younger I thought at my age I'd just be playing flight sims!, right now I'm enjoying 2d metrovania type games most, Hollow Knight, Axiom Verge, Steamworld Dig, Ori, Just download the demo of Gunbrella, really enjoying that.

 

[Richdog]

I'm basically playing two kinds of games:

Long-term 'sandbox' games I will likely play for years due to mods/overhauls and replayability:

• SkyrimVR
• Total War Warhammer III
• Bannerlord

Short-term story-based games I am working through or want to work through this year:

• RDR2
• God Of War
• A Plague Tale: Innocence then later the upcoming sequel

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

53 and playing Anno , Cities Skylines and occasional a blast on BF3 Metro.

 

[krooton]

Finished Inscryption, that was great, a fun mish-mash of genres.

 

[StrongSad]

Currently playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Really enjoying it.

 

[Defy Belief]

Reliving my over 30 year childhood by playing Pokemon Fire Red!

Also, purchased Killer 7 last night on Steam, which I loved back in the day, so exited to relive that.

 

[Cantankerous]

These days it's looking at the list of games I own yet have not completed but really want to. And then playing more FFXIV, StarCitizen with a bit of Hunt:Showdown.

 

[bensonchi]

[iMacMart]

This looks like the sort of game you need to communicate in. It looks really good though. Very immersive.

It is which is why i rarely play it, barely any of the servers i played had any comms going on from top to bottom. Shame as it it's great when it works.

 

[Jay85]

Just finished Frostpunk which i got free on GOG, awesome game! Not as complicated as some other sim builder managers but still very rewarding! Can't wait for the next one.

 

[Wegason]

Overwatch 2, the gameplay is fantastic. I thought as a tank main i would hate it, i wasn't a fan during the betas but since it launched, really enjoying it and 5 vs 5 has made the gameplay fantastic and rewarding.

The monetisation is frickin' awful though.

 

[Raumarik]

Shadow of War, I ignored this when it came out as it's a single player game so waited until it was vastly reduced, pretty damn cool

Incredibly has a better story line than Amazon's recently attempt at a LOTR style fantasy.
