This is true. It's also why most pro eSports gamers are so young, and why they wind up retiring in their early 20s. Fast-twitch reflexes get slower as you get older.

You wouldn't know anything anyway. Never did.

I've finished Furi, Dead Cells, Doom, Nex Machina, still play Wipeout, Tetris. I've got a top 1000 time worldwide for sprint mode. If Esports chose good games I'd put the kids to shame. Just never liked fighting games or RTS's.

No it doesn't, I've never been arrested and have played longer than the rest here. Guys might get amped up on adrenaline but that wears off.

You mean the card or from the Batman games?

I'll agree, I'm not nearly as good at games as I was a decade ago.

I also don't PLAY nearly as much as I did a decade ago, but whatever. I do find that I'm smarter and more strategic with certain games now, though. I was less likely a decade ago to make an action plan before doing something (ex: I'd never plan out my Pokemon team before playing, I wouldn't look up most efficient xp strategies in games like Runescape, I'd always just go with the flow).

Except thats wrong. Ive been gaming since I was like 5. Maybe younger. And I havent been arrested. Therefore, gaming doesnt equal violence. Meaning you have your own problems to deal with that doesnt involve gaming... So, you should give me all your worldly possessions, go be a monk, and come back once they fix you... if they can fix you...

Dude, I've been playing games since I was three. All types of games - even extremely violent games such as Dead Space, Resident Evil, Doom, etc and have never been arrested or committed any crime. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs (would rather spend that money on gaming related material). Joined the Navy and got a position that required a Top Secret clearance (which is something you'll have a painful time pulling off if you have a horrible record) and got out with an honorable discharge. Still continue to play games heavily to this day.

Assetto Corsa, Project Cars.

Reflexes aren't important, anticipation is. You don't react to split second surprises, you move around expected track conditions and opponent patterns, you plan out attacks and forsee your opponents'.

I might not be eSports level of reaction, but I wasn't at that level of reaction before...

But it's not like at 40 my fingers stopped working. I'm still able to play through most games on harder difficulty (like Borderlands, Bioshock, etc), still play some various PvP games (such as Dead By Daylight), and can still make it way through a good portion of "twitchy" games.

The bigger thing that has changed for me is that I have less time to play video games, so i can't develop the skill in the game as quickly as people who have more time to develop skill.

I'm quickly approaching 30, and I'm very much at my peak for video game skill.

Reaction time < logic and reasoning skills.

Yes, if two players are equally skilled and one has better reaction time, they will clearly have the advantage. But it doesn't matter how quickly you can react if you don't know how to properly react.

It might be from burnout and having enough money to start investing and live off that rather than be on the verge of losing your fortunes because your Q didnt go off.
