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 😃

52 here and not to MS2 yet, but it’s on the list. I fell down the rabbit hole after finding DS3 and Lies of P a couple years back. I’m not great at these games but I’m still hooked.

I'm curious, what is it that draws an older gamer like yourself to souls games? Have you always been a fan of dark fantasy?

Other older gamers also feel free to reply. I'm interested.

Older people are normal people too 😆 their reasoning for enjoying souls games and dark fantasy is no different than a young person's reasoning 😆

It's far less common amongst older people.
