How so? That's nonsense. If someone is smart then s/he is smart, the age of that person doesn't change that fact. The same is true for an idiot, if s/he is an idiot then s/he will remain an idiot no matter her/is age.

I think the word OP was looking for is "knowledgeable" or "experienced". He doesn't seem to be fluent in English, so he probably used the simplest word that he knew.

Yep l mean experienced

Experience means little because it all goes to the back of the head, an older person may have lived and learned more than a 15 year old but it's the short term memories that counts.

In other words, everything an old person has ever done, they forget, just because they read a history book 50 years ago, doesn't mean they can remember it.

Actually, from what I understand it is the short term stuff that leaves you first as you get older. You will still remember older more used memories better. The pathways to them are more established or something along those lines?

Long term is memories, short term is skill so to say.
Short term memory is learning a song on a guitar, long term memory is learning scales in the guitar so in a way, yes an older person may have the upper hand in education because he simply understands a lot more but when it comes to gaming, this benefit is null.
Reaction time is purely genetics and I'm sure older people could come down with disabilities that could impede them.

There is a period of time at which our reaction times are at their peak, and after that our reactions gradually get slower as we get older.

So yes, after a certain age we will not be able to play as well as we used to.

Yes but if a young person just picks up a game and plays against an older person who has played all there life then the older person will be better

Plus you can keep your reaction time high if you pratice on a regular basis

Your reaction times just naturally slow down with age. I wouldn't think it would have any sort of "major" effect on your gaming abilites until maybe your 50's or 60's though when it comes to things like FPS Games.

I am still the same as I was in my younger days, just more accurate now. Just everyone else settings the bar higher now in FPS games because gaming is more popular and it brings in more new talented players which have much more skill than they know. Also new gamers have a lot of fun in games. Back in the day I loved COD. Now I hate COD, outgrown it and same can be said for most games.

Back in the day FPS shooters were about lone wolfing it. Now I am more a teamplayer and doing stuff with friends than trying to get the highest KD.

Im allright with aim but all I do is play for fun so :)

[ᑎiᖴTყ]

I would rather have fun than always be stressed about rank and skill and stuff although I do play a little competive and my aim is fine

this is facts i was almost pro in my 20s now at 37 im slow my reation sucks and i cant hit shots or have good movement like i use to

I do miss the god-like reflexes and perfect eagle vision of my youth.
You CAN adapt, though. The frontline in fps games is for the young. If you are older, then you should stay behind and guard the rear, where the young will charge into your prepared defenses.

At least, that is how i try to play most shooter games.

[ArgentAbendAzure]

Younger people do have faster reflexes, and reaction time.
And I would think they're better at learning new skills.
So any straightforward FPS would likely be dominated by younger people.
If it was a game that required more in depth problem solving, and planning, it would be another matter.
I'm sure there are many older players who are expert at games they've played for years too.
Experience does count for something.
But it'd be an interesting thing to test.

Once the Alpha male reaches a certain age the younger males will displace him. This goes for lions on the Savannah as well as for competitive gaming.
