Gaming at 50 years old
Discussion
Hell Let Loose.
Takes thought, strategy, patience, communication and teamwork, not reliance on fast internet and youthful reflexes. In fact if you run about like a knob on COD or battlefield you’ll die every 30 seconds.
It’s atmospheric, tense and beautiful. Plus it has the best headshot sound of any game ever made.

50yo here, not a avid gamer, but now and then I love to play Age of Empires III, which is almost 20yo by now! I
I'm a very defensive player, my usual strategy is to wall myself in and just be on the defence for most of the game, meanwhile building up a massive horse-artillery army, and then near the end with great satisfaction I walz all over the map flattening all the chaps that had the audacity to attack me earlier on.

Any recommendations for a 53 year old gamer?
Just completed days gone for the 3rd time.
My favourites are
The last of us 1
The last of us 2
Red dead 2
And all of the uncharted games.
I have tried resident evil 4 and Alan Wake and just couldn’t get into them, no real story
I have also tried assassin’s creed and couldn’t really get into it.
Looking for something similar to above.

I worked my through all the Uncharted series and also like a game with a strong storyline, so I'd recommend the three rebooted Tomb Raider series, well at least the first two, as I'm halfway through the second one so have the third installment to go. They are similar in concept to Uncharted, and don't have all the faffing about with crafting and stuff that bogged down Assassins Creed after the first couple of games.Just completed days gone for the 3rd time.

Or for something completely different Beyond Two Souls kept me entertained. It is very different to anything else, and is a bit of a Marmite game, but I liked the story and the way it changed as you played.

Maybe the best option for us 50 year olds (I'm early there) is MAME and a stack load of old roms so we can re live our youth
Just need to set up some cigarette burnt plastic cabinets, some dodgy characters in the corner lurking and the smell of hot dogs

I'd vote for Kingdom Come Deliverance, epic story that had me gripped and a combat system that feels terrible at first but has hidden depths. Got to be cheap now too as it's been out forever and there's a sequel in the pipeline.
I’ve just started this for the third attempt as it didn’t click previously. Already got further than before and think it’s pulled me in this time. Combat is tough at the moment!
