This article basically talks about aging player base of MMOs and how the new twitchy MMOs may be alienating aging gamers. I was wondering what ya'll thought about how this applies to RPers in generally, RPing is in general a more careful and more intensive experience that I would imagine would have much older gamers than non-RPers.
I don't know about that. Me and some friends went back to our old Nintendo games... Contra, Life Force etc... and I swear those games are harder than today's genre of games. So I don't really think so. I think things are more shiny, but at the end of the day I still go back to my NES if I want some really hard challenges. So I don't think it effects Rpers that much since many of us like to see the entire game.
This. 100% this. Newer games are far too easy. I used to get blisters on my palms playing old N64 games, and have my thumbs cramp up on my NES or SNES.
Nowadays I'm just typically bored. If anything the system is catering to aging gamers.
