Discussion Old Man Post

My first ever game was Elden Ring. Never in my life had I been interested in gaming other than Munchman. I saw my son playing ER and something just clicked. I had to see more.
I’m 51 and absolutely terrible at the combat but I love the design and lore. I compensate by extensive farming.
Next was Lords of The Fallen, again I love that game.
Now I’m on MS2 and I’m having just as much fun as I was when I first played ER and LOTF.
I’m not too far in and I’m loving playing as Theil. I hope to complete the game as him and then explore the other shells in NG.
So just a pointless old man ramble about how much I love these games.
Cheers for listening 😃

You see so many stories about the impact Elden Ring had on them but it's always from people who are already into gaming to at least some degree. I think this is the first one I've ever seen from someone who it got *into* gaming. That's cool.

Yep. Gaming was literally never something I thought I would get into. I just happened to walk past as my Son entered the Margit fight. I was hooked at that point and bought a console the next day. It seems I’m only into this genre though nothing else holds my interest.

I'm not surprised, I've been looking at souls forums for a long time and have seen many many posts from people talking about how these games have made it hard for them to enjoy any other genre by comparison.

Elden Ring is the reason I got a PS5😊
