Hey I'm almost 50 and I'm still kicking ass in Titanfall 2. I think mostly it's about time spent, you have to play a lot to stay good. Most people my age don't have the amount of free time I do to dedicate to that. But keep fighting the good fight!

There's something special about titanfall 2.
It's not the mechs, though it's awesome. I love the freedom of movement. Battlefield, CoD, those battle royal ones, even Counter Strike lack that fluid motion.

How I feel as a quake player

Yes I agree, the movement is incredible once you get good at it. I think the mechs are a key as to why the game has such longevity too, because it really breaks up the flow of the match (in a good way) so you move between modes and it keeps things interesting. Pilot vs Pilot is fun but it wouldn't have the same addictiveness for me if the mechs weren't there.

Yeah, I agree. Earlier this year it was very slow at work and I played CoD a lot during work hours. I sucked at first, but through just playing a lot I was match leader more often. Of course I didn't become champ, but the key really is persistence.

Same for me, I was on a big Warzone DMZ kick earlier this year and it's the same as anything else. If I go back to it I get stomped, if I play it for a couple days in a row I learn how to hunt again. :D

This is my theory too. I honestly don't think I've slowed down in games yet either (although I'm only in my 30s), and there are tons of even elderly people who have maintained dextrous skills their whole life, like violin or piano players.
I think it's a "use it or lose it" type of situation.

Agreed, starcraft is IMO one of the worst examples of this in gaming, you gotta treat that game like a part time job at a minimum just to not get your ass handed to you 9 times out of 10 while playing online. When I was in my prime SC form I could easily beat the hardest (non-cheating) AI difficulty, I went back to it a few weeks ago and got destroyed by the medium level AI which is significantly worse than even terrible online players lol.
Even when I played that game constantly, if I went even a few days without playing it I would take half a day to get back up to speed. Such a hard game. I don't have the patience for that anymore and if I feel like try harding I stick to overwatch which is IMO much more forgiving than starcraft is.
I tend to stick to single player games 90% of the time now that my free time is significantly less than it used to be.

Absolutely. Even if you've 'lost it' you can still get it back though. When I haven't played a competitive pvp shooter in a few months and I get back into one, I'm incredibly rusty and get my ass handed to me for a couple hours. Just gotta push through that because the skills come back quickly! Quake 2 was another recent one that I went back to with their update a couple months ago. I was trash on day 1, but by day 2 I was winning over half my matches. Just gotta put the time in! A lot of my friends that are my age that used to be really good FPS players just get frustrated and quit playing before their skills come back though, which is a bummer.

Likely. I recall starting to get my butt kicked in arcade fighting games by preteens as I was getting to the end of high school and the amount of time I could get to the arcade was way down. In addition when I was younger lasting longer on that quarter was a bigger deal.
-
Same. I'm over 50 and can still wail on other players IF I'm playing a game that I've spent enough time on.

Hell yeah brother. Somebody has to take these kids to school. lol
