When we'll grow old we'll still play video games?

Well whats your opinion, i'm drunk so I can't think of something else to add now so yeah whats your opinion?

Hell no, i don't plan on playing games past next year

@Sweenix: Can I ask why and whats your age?

Turning 86 this winter so yes.

Age 19, reason : bored of games, and doing a diploma in tourism, meaning i won't have time anymore

yes. back then in the 1980's, gaming was a fad. most of the customers enjoyed the novelty and moved on with their lives. but if people are gaming now, it's more to them than just the sense of novelty.

@Sweenix: Ok thanks for responding

I will have my huge breaks and come back to gaming. It's a common trend that I have as a gamer.

Although, now that I am an adult and my schedule is more busy, I game mostly 5 hours a week at most.

I turn 30 this month. My gaming habit is stronger than ever. I own a NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, N64, PS1, 3DO, Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Wii, 360, PS3, Wii U, PS4 pre order and XBox One pre order. Also all of the handhelds. (Minus virtua boy and neo Geo pocket..... Someday). I also have a gaming PC. ( i7 3770k @ 4.4 and a GTX 690). I'm a real gamer unlike most of the cows on this board. Next I want to start buying cabinets!!!

As I've gotten older the only difference is my taste has narrowed. I can only stand games that offer multiple possibilities, like sports titles where every game has a different outcome, (its not simply the boss dies or doesnt die) or racing games where every race is different or sandbox games in general. I cant stand linear games at all. Uncharted for example, where almost everything is scripted, and theres very little freedom of choice.

After almost 25 years of gaming, thats the only change.

Likely. I'd like to think that my children will enjoy them, and my children's children will as well.

Ofcourse Not.

We'll be playing Virtual Reality Games ! :D

I'm 22 and still playing games, so... yes?

Yes......i like Videogames.

I'm 42 and I play videogames whenever my mum lets me.

I think I'm a lifer. I grew up with games. It would be so weird just not playing them.

That's like saying will we watch movies and sport when we get older.

I'm 19, and I can still find enough time to play games. Don't have as much time as I used to have, but still, I can make it happen, so yeah, I don't see myself quitting gaming anytime soon.

Only, my gaming tastes are changing, and I rarely play overly long games.. Don't like having to spend 100+ hours on a single game, since that can easily take over a month... meaning I mostly stay away from MP games, or very long SP games, though I do make exceptions here and there, like Skyrim.

I can assure u I'll be gaming for 4-5 years more at MINIMUM, could be longer.

I don't know, hard to say really.

I haven't got much going on in my life at the moment, but eventually that'll have to change here soon, and when it does that means less time for me. Point is, even though I have all this free time now, I find myself playing less and less. And when I do it's usually just some shooter, or some fighting game. That urge to play and enjoy a wide variety of games has been slowly dwindling lately. Though, sadly this is an issue with a lot of my other current interests as well.

I swear, I feel like I'm growing more dull every year older I get.

^this

Who knows.

Perhaps I'll be that grumpy old fart telling kids "when I was your age we played games with keyboards, mice and gamepads..."

I guess we'll have holodecks by then.

I don't know. For quite some time, I've been rather disinterested in gaming, even though I continue to post in forums about them. Of course, there are some games once in a while that pull me out of that slump, like Batman Arkham Origins did recently. But in general, I'm worried that I'd buy a game just to find out that it doesn't exactly interest me. Hoping that AC IV will break that slump again, but that's probably the last game I'll get this year, and maybe the last even until Watch Dogs somewhere next year.

So, chances are that I probably won't be playing many games as I grow older. (22 currently)

I started gaming on consoles back in the early 80's. But, it was gaming on the PC and Amiga, plus my interest in the flight sim genre, that kept me going. Much of my gaming were with the flight sim genre throughout the 90's.

If I stuck to gaming on consoles alone, I probably would've quit by the time the SNES came along.

Good times up to now.

i'd like to say yes but i really cant picture myself still playing games when im in my 70's-80's.

I played my first video game when I was 5. Today, I'm 35, I preordered my PS4 and build myself a high end PC this summer. Gaming till I die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes..i,m 39 but my taste has changed as i only game on pc now...who knew

I don't see why you'd worry considering you've got the internet at your disposal. Check video reviews, footage, what elements of a said game is cool with you and so forth. Also i highly recommend playing unique games regardless of their age. You can't imagine how many people have 're-sparked', so to speak, their interest in gaming by just going past their comfort zone.

My gaming depends on my mood. I game hard for like a month, then i take about a 2 months of barely playing much, Then game hard again.. Depends what games come out that interest me. I could tell you now, that if Warcraft 4 RTS came out, i'd loose about 1 .5 years of my life, Cause i'd be playing it nonstop.

Game i most excited for is Titanfall and blizzard Dota, Want something that feels different. Currently playing batman occasionally .

I've been playing games as long as I can remember so I'll probably be playing them for life.

39 years old, been gaming for 28 years, still going strong and have no intention of changing my primary hobby unless my hands get cut off or become useless

@zekere: wow... We're remarkably similar.

It's already happening. I met a dude that is 67 and wont shut up about Call of Duty. He is in the top 100 on the leaderboards too. I guess when you retire, your time is yours and you can do whatever you want.

oh that explains Sweenix then. Cat and Jrpg lover. Maybe i'll get SinjinSmythe to go easy on him.

Looks like people still have a hard time accepting video games in the same way they have film, music, movies, books etc.

I hope so

What else are you going to do? Socialise? Hah!

As long as I can, but it might get harder if I start losing my hearing, memory, or sight.

of course we will.

as a matter of fact i envision a massive metagame for us when we are elderly that entails leveling up for doing difficult tasks on your own.

do your own shopping?

100xp.

have a successful poo?

200xp.

take a walk around your home?

300xp.

remember the names of loved ones?

400xp.

it's the ultimate therapy tool for our generation.

@Movie_Maker: I'm 22.. getting "older" don't play as much as I used to. (Wish I could, but gotta do other stuff) But I will probably keep playing video games throughout the years. Though it def won't be as much as I want to.

Sooner or later, I see myself stopping entirely. I don't play as many games as I used to, and I'm not all that interested as to what the future holds in store.

I'll probably read books and become a PC gamer

I'm sure I'll be playing games until I die.

Life would be boring without gaming.

Filthy casual.

I don't think it will stop, but the types of games I enjoy is changing.
