This is incredible, hope you're having a blast.

I am currently playing Elder Scrolls online dabbled with a bit of BF2042/BF1, Chivalry and Football Manager - I am 34 (35 in 2 weeks!)

There is definitely something to be said for going through a story at your own pace, not everything should be about reaction times. They'll adjust games to let people just enjoy them eventually, there is so much depth in modern games it would be a shame if they didnt. There is an audience for that Im sure

I'm still working to complete The Witcher 3 + all expansion packs. Damn it's a long game. Still haven't got to my favourite kind of magic.

Once fully complete, I've got Dealth Loop ready to download from my Steam library.

I am having a blast, been playing since the Amiga era, my young Grandkids are well impressed but why should you stop just because your old, If it's a hobby it stays with you like golfers, they play till they drop :cry:

Still Ark, not a year goes by where it doesn't suck me back in.

Thank god consoles don't record hours played!!!!!

Last was AC Valhalla and Far Cry 6. Nope actually the very last was RDR2.
Next up, when I get around to it, Mass Effect Legendary on PC and Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4.

FF7R on the PC currently, also jumping in and out of rogue-lites like Hades and Vampire Survivors for a quick fix.

Turned 38 last month.

I took about 6 months off from gaming completely following some big life shocks, then came back to playing horizon zero dawn and caught the gaming bug again. HZD was amazing.

Now playing through cyberpunk which is also fantastic... And I'm glad to finally get my monies worth out of it as I bought it on release and found it a huge disappointment... The patches have done wonders.

Intending to play through god of war next.

Just played through Xcom 2 which was great.

Also just finished Deathloop yesterday, was ok, ending was a bit meh.

Looking to play either AC: Odyssey or maybe TW:Warhammer 3 now immortal empires is out.

Nevermind 30+ year-old players, I am now playing Prodeus - a nostalgic throwback to 30 year-old games

y2ck01 · 12 Oct 2022 at 20:11

I can't decide on what I want to play. I tried RDR2 again but it's just too slow paced for me.

Yes!"

I also bought Doom Eternal after enjoying the start of Prodeus.

Also playing Days Gone and am 34 hours in. Will be 36 or so by end of tonight.

38yrs btw and still enjoying gaming, although campaign games appeal more than online now.

RDR2 ended up being too slow and boring, Days Gone was a game changer especially after the first 10 hours. Horizon Zero Dawn ended up being boring too.

something daft already!! · 12 Oct 2022 at 21:51

I can't be bothered with VR now. Stopped playing that and am now playing Dying Light 2 and Battlefield 2042.

The one game I was disappointed about because the story was so harsh, I actually felt pain! Truly amazing game.

I'm 46 and will be returning to PC gaming after a gap of about 9 years! So not playing anything right now as I still have to order parts and build a new PC, but grateful for this thread for so many suggestions. It's gonna be a busy winter!

Resigned to it now. Gaben has forsaken us.

I tried to jump back into Half - Life 2 recently. That game still makes me want to vomit from the motion sickness from what I experienced back in 2004. Even with the FOV at max.

Makes depressing reading that I was 34 when I first posted in this thread and 41 now and it feels like only yesterday.

I keep going back to modded Quake 2, The Division, City of Heroes, occasionally dip into the odd driving game. Gone from having ~100 games installed on Steam to 9.

I keep meaning to go back and play through the updated Mass Effect games but work keeping me too busy to dive into something new at the moment.

Just don't seem to get on with a lot of recent games - especially we seem to be going backwards when it comes to player movement and controls which should be super intuitive and refined by this point.
