huds78 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm 36 and I play C.O.D so do a lot of my mates of the same age and older. Have you ever tried it ? I only started a few years ago when my Mrs started working nights and it does get addictive though I haven't played too much recently due to having other things to do in the eves.

Archie-fox Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 My mate lives on his xbox he's 35 years old.. He is overweight and has a terrible diet..but just spends every spare minute on it.. I've never got what gets so addictive about it...he just finishes work and straight on the sofa playing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetter Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 If your in your mid to late 30s you grew up during the computer / console revolution so there are a fairly high amount of that age group that still game frequently at least its a bit interactive unlike staring at the TV for hours on end.

Spot on, I remember in 79/80 my dad brought home one of thise wood veneer Ataris, i've been gaming ever since, to me it's something that i've grown up with and has always been there.

paul65 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, that's right, once you get past your teens, killing real things is the way to demonstrate you are a real man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mate is 59 next week and him and another mate ( both syndicate members) have a duel on a Friday night now and then. More of a Gran Turismo fan myself ( I'm 54) but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feaks Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Battlefield 4 on the PS4 is my vice. Just glad i'm a better shot in real life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy 666 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I Love going for a walk around at night with the night vision but i am the first to admit I'm a fair wether shooter so the next best thing for me when it is raining is to put cod on my ps3 on. I'm 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeceknight Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 ok well I'm 24, I play it quite abit online with friends but it is a LAST case scenario, if I havnt been paid, it's raining, iv walked the dog, nothing on tv, I will then switch it on and spend the next hour having my **** handed to me by you teens with faster reactions than mine lol I know a few older blokes that play it at work, seems to me that once there wife is in the bath, kids are asleep and football is over they switch on grand theft auto/cod and just loose themselves for the next 2 hours and chill out. I'm no gamer, but do like to plot up as a sniper on call of duty and pop some people off lol don't know why but just somthing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisondan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm 31 and have an Xbox 360. I'd consider myself a casual gamer, I play online for a bit and I like COD but I don't sit on it for hours and hours, probably 2 to 3 hours a week. I don't like golf but I don't criticise anyone for playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I always liked computer games, I remember playing games on the Spectrum, the Vic 20 and Commodore 64. I read the other day that gaming is so mainstream nowadays it's going to overtake movies (maybe it already has) as a revenue earner. I wonder how many people tut at Xboxes or PS3s as they divert themselves with Candy Crush or Angry Birds. It's here to stay and a mult billion pound industry.

shootnfish Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) IM 41 this year and i play on my boys xbox quite a bit on mw3 and ghosts with them and usually get my **** kicked. One game i do like and am not to bad at is sniper 2 ghost warrior, its not quite as full on as the cod games as you are all snipers. IM no gaming expert but i think it is a very good sniper game. Usually if you do get an **** kicking its not usually someone barley in there teens as it tends to be older people play it.
