Defiance Older Players Thread

I'm 36 and sadly I finding that having a 3rd kid is killing my gaming time. Of course my kids come first but I miss the hours of gaming I use to have.

I still sneak on every now and again, but Defiance may be my last game for a long time. Don't have the time to dedicate to anything else.

I used to spend a lot of time doing in-game research for this game and then posting it on the forum. I'm sure most of my work is outdated by now with all the patches and ninja fixes.

I love to hear about over 30s playing games. It reassures me that I'm not that weird creep hanging out with teens because I can buy beer :D

I can only imagine. Sorry to hear that.

I'm 47 and enjoying this game so much! It's good to see older players in this game....Defiance! Think I may have scared most of my clan members away....where have you all gone? Lol ;)

52 here.

Started console gaming about 10 yrs ago after my, then 10 yr old son, nagged me for a year to try HALO.

I finally tried it and he started yelling at me that I was doing everything wrong, I was slightly traumatized:mad: and put the controller down and walked away.

When he went to visit my sister, I got back on alone, and finally started getting the hang of it.

I called him up and said, " I'm driving a warthog, well!"

He said, "I'm proud of you, Mom!":o

Kinda brings a tear to the eye. :')

Well, I'm 56 going on 57 w/t any luck. I've noticed after talking to my nephew the other day that there aren't really many young people that stick w/t this game[might b Nim or the 5th part of the arena]. They seem to like battlefield or CoD more.

43 this month. Male. I play as male and female characters.

Funny thing is - those kids have less of a life than us older folk (and we probably get more "action" then them to boot!)

On topic, I'll be 41 next month. This thread suddenly has me feeling much younger now. I love it! lol ;)

I know, right. IIRC I think I hit 43 not to long ago. This thread kinda makes me feel better - for a while now, whenever I fill out a survey or questionnaire, I've been going "Holy ****! I'm in that box now!?" when the age range question appears.
