So what you are saying is "I hate that they say that but its true"

no im saying thats a stupid reason to be better in games then other people

With equal amount of experience a younger gamer is just as good as an older gamer. If they have played the same game for equal amount of time they will be just as good as each other. And dont say that crap that older gamers respect the game more. No one gets better with games when there older. Only when you go above 50 and thats when you really lose it

Fatal flaw that will unravel your argument right here. With an EQUAL AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE.

Putting aside lionx's own, very valid point for a moment, younger gamers CAN'T have more experience with gaming than someone who's been playing since they were in diapers. And experience doesn't just mean for newer games, I picked up many things with older games that carry over to newer games. Fighting games haven't changed THAT much over the course of a few years.

Hey, all im trying to say is that everyone is equal in gaming no matter what age you are. There will be better gamers from both side but its all about equal. Dont take sides.

If it is all equal then why did you make this thread? And further more exclude that option from the poll.

I guess it was kinda stupid but I wanted to know what everyone else thinks.

Well, it's pretty hard to express much of an opinion without choosing a side.

wrong again. the console gaming industry is shifting gears to aim itself at the age group of 16+, since at that age you start earning your own money and your parents don't always have to buy you a game. its a proven fact that aiming games at older audiences is more profitable than aiming it at younger audiences. do some research man...

Trust me
Console games are aimed more at Kids. Well more Nintendo than others that focus on this

**YukiKiro** · 04-10-2005, 09:36 PM

and nintendo is struggling and they make up only about 1/5 of the console gaming buisness, and they're struggling because a) they're concentrated on gaming only and b) their games are aimed at younger audiences. don't worry, we can't be right all the time.

True that.
People have been making less emphasis on storyline lately. And that makes me sad.
