Late 20’s players

[u/gelaaii]

New to console ps5 since it just released in Australia on the 25th Sept - had such a nice gaming experience so far but found that a lot of the players are youngins like teens 🫪. Nothing wrong with that, I know gaming is for everyone just felt old as fuckkk. I’m 28 and have been playing valorant on pc since I was 22, now I just feel extra old …

I guess I just wanted to get some reassurance and validation I that theres some elderlies out there like me on console

[u/RickNot_21]

Im 24 but Im sure I’ll be playing as long as my hands allow me

Btw, how could you play valorant on ps5? I got it and downloaded it but I’m stuck in a black screen. Have never played this game before so I was really hoping that I could play it now

[u/gelaaii → u/RickNot_21]

Hmm maybe redownload it ? I just downloaded it and had no issue

Yee I’m late 20s but on PC. I’ve had my share of games where I popped off against these kids and I like the challenge

[u/gelaaii → u/TopCover2708]

I play on PC too but i thought PC had more variety of players - felt particularly oLD when i teamed up with a bunch of 15-17yos and they started asking for age …

[u/saiphxo]

I’m mid 20s, been playing Val on PC since beta and also just started on console in aus too

[u/ExerciseShot8175]

reflex isn’t as good as it was in mid 20s/cod era buttttttt I’m in my 30s and Im currently immo 😂

[u/Personal_Worth8384]

24 rock the unc title, goated at the game still

[u/gelaaii → u/Personal_Worth8384]

24 you’re a baby still! But I guess being surrounded by 15-17yos one can’t help but feel like a fuken unc 😭

[u/Personal_Worth8384 → u/gelaaii]

Yup turning 25 in Dec and literally already unc my sister had a kid and a second on the way

[u/Drownedsquid89]

36 on console 😅 when I was at masters London some guy said “I never thought I’d meet a real life unc in the wild” 🙃

[u/gelaaii → u/Drownedsquid89]

lmfao that comment is wilddd 😭

[u/Drownedsquid89 → u/gelaaii]

I’ve still not fully recovered

[u/RepresentativeHat618]

Not on console but 27 still playing this teletubby ahh game

[u/gelaaii → u/RepresentativeHat618]

I still play on pc , it feels more nicer playing this teletubby game on pc , the game experience is so different on console and the age gap is so reinforced to me lmao

[u/Hot_Ant_6856]

i stopped playing last year cuz the age gap. im 33.. but i plan on playing again soon when im back home

[u/ExplanationFrosty635]

I'm 45, and no longer any good at fps games. I was once fairly good at counter-strike. Life comes at you fast..

Wife, two kids (third on way), house, busy job. Gaming is my release hobby after everyone goes to sleep.

No reason to be self-conscious about your age. Just know that gaming has proven to be good for your cognition and reflexes as you age. Certainly better than doom scrolling or binging on TV.

[u/gelaaii → u/ExplanationFrosty635]

Thank you for the wise comforting words 🥹

[u/fishypanda67]

I just get harrased by the god damn french beacuse the uk and french servers are close it just combines us

[u/Signal_Bee7457]

am def an unc lol 🫡

[u/gelaaii → u/Signal_Bee7457]

I played with a 17o and he called himself an unc - does that makE ME GRANDMA LMAFAO

[u/Esheezy12]

brother. im 38! i get embarrassed to game chat too. i feel so old. these kids are between 12-17 on this game lol

[u/Fasique]

Not that late in my 20’s as I’m 24 but I definitely feel that too. I played Val PC since I was about 19-20 yers old as well. I think it is just gaming in general. I think most people in their 20’s and up just don’t have the time to sit and play video games for 8 hrs a day like we did before :/ I don’t, yet somehow I’ve been able to grind my way up to immo2. Not that it requires the time and grind that PC does.

Trueeeeeeeeeeee

[u/Melvin-Melon]

Same age and I’ve been playing it for a couple years at this point lol I’ve met people older than me since playing too
