Is 34 "too old" to play this game?

[aNoLDrUGaDDiCT.iQ]

Im just asking, idgaf if it is. I'm just wondering if there is any other old timers that play this game :)

[D's Journal]

[MissTotos]

I am 37.. add me as a friend if you wanna play some Stardew co-op! :)

Here's an 87 year old playing Animal Crossing. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Don't let the kids playing fortnite and whatnot tell you otherwise.

Nope!!!

[MonkehMaster]

age is subjective, for the most part any one can enjoy playing games, but that all depends on the person themselves.

i would ignore anyone who says "your to old to play a game".

It's a very relaxing game to me, where I can decide myself if I go spending another 300 hours with farming (while listening to podcasts!) or I wanna go for some adventures in the caves. It has some funny moments, some ... deep moments actually too and I am 100% sure you'll enjoy this game more than any 15yrs old, because in the end, you're already capable to fully understand the range of emotions the NPCs have, or those the game wants to envoke in you.

You have to make decisions in this game from time to time, and as usual: the decision you might like most as a player may not be always the best choice for everyone else. You can actually roleplay a bit there, or just play normally and make choices like you'd do in real life.

I love it how encouraging everyone here is! What an adult, friendly community there is! That's so lovely! ♥ Thumbs up to everynoe! Keep it up!
I am 30, and I've seen very bad things going on in online communities and multiplayer games, so the steam discussion community is always restoring my faith in (older) gamers! ♥

Some of the themes are fairly mature or nostalgic in a way that an older player might enjoy them. The game itself is kinda simple and empty-minded. If you're the kind of person that plays video games in the first place then you're probably the kind that would/could enjoy it anyway.

20-30 years ago, some might say that adults playing video games should be viewed negatively, but keep in mind that at one point in time reading books was viewed as unhealthy, unrealistic and a waste of time. Presently, I think that video games are nearing being appreciated as a mix of art, literature, and creative expression all three of which are ageless.

And this!

For myself, I'm 39 and I love how troubled the characters are. Ehile the mechanics certainly aren't realistic, the troubles of the villagers speak to a wide range of the human condition.

<3 i agree. i dont think its meant to be 100% realistic and a simulation so i dont think that is a negative thing.

My group of friends who play range in age from 14 to near 70 years, with me leaning toward the upper end at 57 :~)
Don't be old at 34.. Old is a mindset before we're 80, I say. Play on!

Also, high-five to the OP. I grew up on the C64 as well!

Haha yeaaah! Commodore 64 was asweoms. Still is, in a way, but i got robbed on both my commodores so RIp them and RIP my childhood when it happened :(

i would stop playing games at maybe 19 or 20, you should probably be raising kids at 34. Maybe there is a loophole where you could play this game with your kids, that could work, but playing it for any other reason would just be a little sad.

Why would it be sad? Its a great waste of time because it is fun, and i dont have a job to attend to and i'm single so i don't see why its sad that i spend my free time when i dont have anything else to do playing a game. (its "sad" that i dont have a job or a wife, but i don't think that you were refering to stuff like that but im curious on why you chose the word "Sad")

The phrase "You're too old to be playing video games" are never valid to begin with. No games are too old to play but some games are too young to play like the ones that needs parental guidance.

<3 +1

Nope! 32 here ^_^ Fun knows no age limits!

yaay :)

I highly doubt anyone would care about your age, especially in games like this.

Well i get called a "pedo" for playing cs when there are annoying kids playing in my team so Some people Do care about age. I had to ask because i dont want to randomly que up with someone on Stardew Valley that is like 10 years old and their parents hear that they play with an old guy. I just cant stand being called the worst thing an old gamer can be called because it hurts to be called that and im not really a snowflake, its just a hurtful thing to be called

<3 I was amazed to see how many normal kind comments there was in this thread and i was glad to see that i'm not as much of a rare breed that I initially thought.

You guys and girls has made me want to play this game even more! :D I just need to update the mod thingie so i can start a new game and not have to go back to the house all the time hehe

I ignore them all the time, but after like 10 years of hearing "youre old man, why do you play games? are you a neckbeard cellardweller" its easy to think "hm. is this ♥♥♥♥ im doing normal?" y'know? Thatys why i had to ask and i got a lot of kind loving comments here so i'll keep gaming until i Level Up to Age 90 :)


Thank you for all the comments guys and girls, young and old, human and human.
If anyone wants to play with a quite socially inept swede you can add me if you want and we can play some cd or Stardew (potato pc and poor so i cant really play all the games i'd like to play hehe)

[Sillysally]

Nope 70 plus here

[Gillius]

oh man to bad. this game is only for 5-33 years, your outta luck im afraid

[Ashley]

Keep in mind the NES came out 30 years ago.
It makes perfect sense for that generation of gamers to be around your age.

My son benefits from my collection, and I always know what he is playing, unlike other parents.

true :) its great that you have some control over what your son is playing. its pretty important to not let his brain rot away with games that fills his brain with more or less dangerous things

[Papenbard]

Yes. Too old for video games, actually.
