Ray Tillman haha, wow, it sounds awesome actually

That's awesome! I'm jealous! haha Ummm, I'd suggest playing a bunch of single player games then. I love the story in games like Assassin's Creed and Fall Out games for example. Beautiful cutscenes and story lines go a long way to make a beautiful game better.

I'm so happy for you. Keep up.

Hmm me too.

If it exhausts you then doesnt that mean you're worse (off )

Be quiet old man ! Just kidding. Me too

That's very true I still remember playing my first game of Space Invaders in 1979 now I have VR

Dang that is so true! That is why even to this day I can comfortably play 16 bit games without completely losing interest from dated graphics. I've been playing games since Atari and 2D 16 bit games with modern special effects still look perfectly playable to me. As long as the game is actually fun I'll still play almost anything.

You got that right, dude! My first video game addiction was Crazy Climber. Even after all of the quarters that I put into the game in the arcades, I never was very good at it. I almost never made it to the 3rd building, in fact.

True! But also older gamers are seeing the gaming world slowly fade out, we lived to see the hero become the villain in a way.

+PlayableGamez All good points. And some people relax by competing. I'm just not one of them. Well, I am, but against a computer that I have power over with difficulty levels, mods, etc. I have fun gaming and that level of concentration is what distracts me. Competing wouldn't distract me and make me relaxed. I think they are right that is a big part of why older players aren't as 'good', we have different goals . In The amount of time it would take me to be good enough to make 50k or a mil or whatever, I could earn in my day job, lol.

You're missing his point. He is saying that if you want to relax FOR REAL, you can't play video games, because that'll activate your brain. If you want to shut it down, you can watch TV though ;)

+AldjinnTV You're missing the point, he said the relaxation I feel isn't my brain turning off. The relaxation part is the important part for mr. The 'turning my brain off' is just an expression. Technically speaking your brain is never off.

Ron Theel I see, it's more you getting rid of all the stress of life because you're focused on the video game then right ? Also, just for the story, I heard your brain is ALMOST off when you're watching porn. I know technically it is never off (it even stays on for a short time after death, that's amazing !); but the closest it gets to being off is when watching porn. (I realize this has nothing to do with the topic but I just learned about that and this was the opportunity this great knowledge :D)

You kids don't know how good we used to have it. Voting for trump? Why back in my day we had heroes like... bill clinton, nevermind... we had George Bush... ok scratch that... but rest assured, this is the worst generation, right now. But to be honest. I do feel sorry that modern kids don't get all those dangerous and cool playground toys we had when I was in elementary.

Cretaal Back in my day we had real war not some skippy do hickey. We killed each other for sport and discriminated others for the kicks of it, ahhh that was the life.

Jack C the back keeps them from putting their back in to the swing. Remember how we got height? Sit up, kick out, lay back. If you can't lean back you don't get the momentum you need to do a Superman flying jump off of the swing. Heck, kids got hurt all the time doing that, I always just thought that was that whole "natural selection" everyone kept trying to teach me about. I never got hurt, and I did that flying jump to take down a bully once.

Doesn't necessarily mean you are slow compared to 25 year olds. I took a reaction time test, and at 25 years of old, going on 26 in Dec, it told me I probably wasn't human because my reaction time was too fast.

Boyd The Milkman Lol my reflexes are probably going to get better over time considering I can ketch things falling out of the fridge without even thinking now. compared to when i was 15 i'm like Neo. lol

When I was younger and didn't have anything to worry about, games all day, every day. These days, work all day, every day.

@@kimblarry When you're older and have a decent job, you can make that same USD $30-50K (or more). You get more strategic with your time - why put in hundreds of hours for a mere chance at payoff, when you can make that money reliably, with way less effort (even if you have a hard job, the longer you work, the better at the job you become).

@Hollow Shell That's not my attitude at all, it's just a fact. Adults with responsibilities don't have a lot of time to invest in a video game. So how can they be as good as someone who consistently plays and practices a lot more? I'm not trying to say that video games are an immature pastime, I'm saying that younger people probably don't have to meet deadlines at work, pick their kids up from school (assuming they don't have any), or have a marriage/relationship to nurture. How long do these pro gamers play for? 6-8 hours at a time - everyday? Maybe more? Well, it's no wonder they're good. I'm sure aging has something to do with the rate at which your reaction time decreases (depends on your genetics) but Occam's razor here tells me they just practice a ton more.

@Hollow Shell I don't think that adults are "too mature" to play games. But they don't have the free time to put into them to make it to elite status. I am in my 50's, like to play games, but only get to for a few hours on the weekends. Maybe. I have to maintain my house, be a caregiver to an elderly parent, manage the finances for two households, and spend time with my kid (which is often when I get to play). It's that responsible adults just have too much to do to invest the time in games. I def think there is a slow down in reaction time as you get older, but that some could maintain it if they stay in practice.

This exactly. They don't have the time to play in tournaments. This video is really missing the elephant in the room here.

It also doesn't help when you know WHY things happen in videogames, whether it was setup by the developers or it's a quirk in the game's code, being a kid and totally ignorant of how games are made meant that everything you saw in games was just as cool, or even cooler than the real world.

Nah, its the games man, they suck now. I suggest you download and engine and start making your own game that you always wanted to play. I'm 28, and I am definitely becoming my dad as well. How are you coping?

The summer of 2003, I didn't have a job lined up. I had made quite a bit of surplus cash in the previous year, so I tried an "experiment" ... I spent most of my waking hours in the attic, playing Morrowind and Vice City. No regrets.

+Len Arends Morrowind is one of my all time favorite game, even today.

I learnt more english playing video games than in my english class

Same story here. I couldn't even speak English when I was 12. I was hopeless in English classes. Then I got my first English game (Warcraft 3 and Rayman 3) and all of a sudden my knowledge in English took of and today I have it as second language.

I think Ghost recon wildlands pvp is a pretty good game for adrenaline rush

I think a good story is what drives me the most at age 37. Certainly I rarely feel like I did when I played Contra or Lifeforce with my cousin on the NES, but a great narrative in a universe I care about, like Jedi: Fallen Order, was really exciting.

I don't know, go 1v1 in overtime on Rainbow Six.

Dang that's actually really sad.

I'm glad, but also not glad that i don't get that adrenaline as easily from games anymore. I'm glad because i can think clearer in high intensity situations, but at the same time i kind of miss getting that amped by playing a game.

It's OK, your brain is old and has a lot on it's mind. 10 years ago you wouldn't have made that mistake =P

TRUTH

+Grass Daddy dang shots fired lol

Did you tell what's his name, (weight lifting white caster guy), that he was wrong TO HIS FACE about "older players getting faster." haha jk But seriously, I think it is interesting that the awards/greatest discoveries in mathematics, seem to always come from 17-21 year olds, in physics from 21 to 26 year olds, and + for chemistry, and ++ biology.... There is definitely something going on there. Great video. Surprised you didn't interview whitera, the 30+ Russian gamer, but maybe he's retired now haha.

Is that so? I think selective memory is at work there, because most of discoveries in physics are from older people. Just take a look at nobel prize laureates and when they made the discovery. In fact, older people are by definition better at physics, chemistry and mathematics because they have more knowledge and experience, and in these fields brain lag does not matter at all.

Can you imagine sitting in your computer chair for 10 hours a day only getting up to eat and piss, and that's your free time? I know young men who do this, every single day.

^This 1000%. I'm 41 and I am very picky about which games I play, Because my time is precious.

+Moonsover326, Nope. No. Not even. I like my toys and my games and everything else I've enjoyed over the years and you can't make me "grow up." Neither can anyone else... if my wife couldn't make me do it, I doubt anyone else can. I'm an adult now and I don't have to live by the "rules" of society. I am as young (at least mentally) as I choose to be. And I can play any game I wish (as long as I have a friend that has the game or I have the $ to buy it myself). Only losers and angry old men outgrow their toys. I learned a long time ago that anger was not for me. And I really don't like to lose (even when I do so quite often). I am nearly 56 years old, biologically. Maybe 12 or 22 mentally, depending on mood and current object of mental consideration and contemplation. Meditation and introspection can do that to you. :D

jchinckley you sir earned my respect. i wish to grow up like you and still play videogames.

Moonsover326 you never really outgrow anything. "growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional"

What makes people picky is experience. When you have more than 30 years of gaming experience, you attain knowledge in order to base your critique on.

Most hyped games are like that. But there are many great indie games out there. Hollow Knight, Steamworld Dig 2, etc. that play like the good old games.

Exactly. Even in racing games. Before all you had to do was choose a car and drive, now you have to work a lot to collect cards, blueprints, unlock boosters, parts etc It is ridiculous and even worse on mobile.

An overly simplistic reduction of an entire medium. There are many different types of games which over a huge variety of experiences. Co-op games can create memorable experiences with friends and family. Educational games can teach kids math or languages. Games can be used for training. They can tell stories or make us think in new ways. Not every game is about "farming", not by a long shot.

a damn good point.

Hi mate your way of thinking is best thanks

What you said there sounds very plausible to me though, especially since it sounds so familiar in different completely different situations.

Read the story Ender's Game. A kid thinks hes playing a video game but it turns out much worse.

I think the same, I would even go further, just a simple theory : imagine the brain is like an hard drive, at some point you have limited space to store data, you have to make space, so you pick the most important elements. For example, you won't remember the weather 5 days ago but you will remember the meeting you have in 5 days. I'm really amazed by the memory of my children (3yo and 5yo). When I play video games in front of them, they remember so many details, even after not playing for a few weeks. Details that I had forgotten because I think my (subconscious) brain somehow decided it was not worth taking space in my brain for that information while their brain has not that need (yet). I think it probably explains somehow why time seems to be going faster as you get older : because you don't record all that day in your brain but just the most important parts so when you think about your day, during that day, it does not seem as long because you have not recorded as long/much. This being said, I think it's just a partial answer. I think the cause are probably multiples and that unfortunately, we face a kind of cognitive deterioration as we get older that make it worst.

@@jean-phil You are on to something. There are studies that show that chimps can memorize long serial sequences, at glance, and the theory as to why this is, is because they do not need to use that same space in their brains, for linguistics. This applies to your youthful brain theory. A young brain has more empty space, so more trivial items are memorized by youth. ...my favorite Sherlock Holmes quote fits this theory also. Watson: "Holmes, how can you possibly not know that Uranus is a planet?! You must have learned this at some point!" Holmes: "Many men think the mind is an "elastic room", they fill it to the brim, and expect to expand. ...I believe the mind is like an an attic. A man can rearrange the furniture in it, but at the end of the day there is finite space, so I only fill mine with my interests, and ignore the rest." ... In that same book, Watson remarked that Holmes was a masterful botanist. ...but only for the plants that killed people (Nightshade, etc.).

wow didn't know he passed away.... (I'm slow to news) ... a great shame, used to enjoy watching his steam vids.

Press F to pay respect.

YEAH YEAH THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK!

AoE Ronin, he's putting that "old adage" into action which says: "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance." (Attributed to David Mamet).

Tony Boy Bad news: Employers even in 2017 don't look for that on a CV.

That doesn't at all explain why the same players would get worse over time, though. If you're already at an elite level, you don't need to spend that much time to keep your skills up; an hour a day or even less would be plenty, so you'd think that someone who has a decade more experience would beat an obsessed eighteen-year-old, but that's no the case.

You obviously don't have a lot of experience with elite professionals. Top authors, surgeons, musicians, and dancers practice their craft constantly, many hours every day with few days off. If professional gamers' skills fall off over time, it's for the same reason as any other professional athlete, exhaustion and burnout. You just can't keep up those levels of performance for too many years, no matter what age you are. In the NBA for instance, the average career is only 2 years, and yet some of the best players in the game are older players. Give pro-gaming a little more time to mature and you'll find the same situation developing.

Probably since you don't play games with big competitive scenes. Most of them don't have a single player or the main focus is multiplayer

It always depends what games you play. Some like to play MOBA Ranking, Some like to play only FPS. Some play random games. Some like to play RPG like me. Once you are done with the story , you move on to the next one. I dont play rpg again because you know the story already so for what you want to play it again.

+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky Brood War experience helps you in SC2 (APM wise SC2 is a easy version of SC1, as SC2 helps the player more because it is a newer game), and as such SC2 is not a new game anymore. It is 6 years old, which is old i a video games lifespand. A lot of skill StarCraft, Command & Conquer, League of Legends, DotA etc. (actually all esports) is understanding the core mechanics and mastering you adaptation to them. Such as stutter stepping with perfect timing, having a natural feel for in game timings (that is especially true in a game such as Quake, where you have to exactly meet the timings of the larger armours, to win) so you can process your scouting data, and hotkey use so you can effectively cycle between production and control groups at as fast a speed as possible to optimize micro and macro. And of course improving APM/EMP is something that takes a lot of practise and is as much a physical as a mental challenge. So no, SC2 is not something new based of new things. It is the present day optimisation of a development in game design going back around 20 years (if not more). And also having played the game for 100 hours or 500 hours makes a huge difference. With a statement such as yours I seriously doubt you play any competitive multi-player games at any level, as you would then know you time scale is completely off, and how just a game being out for a year can be an eternity in the development of the meta (and then factor balance patches into that equation to, and that things change constantly, and you have to constantly adapt, but also retain all the old strategies, so you have something to fall back on, when you are at a loss - an example would be the mantra for Protoss of "when behind, dark shrine"). There was actually a lot of interesting things going on, when an older Brood War pro came into SC2, as they to a degree played in a different way to the younger players who where to young to be Brood War pros. But to be perfectly honest, at the moment SC2 is such an old game that it in many ways is slowly dying as more people leave, then new blood coming in, so it has in many ways become a small die hard community of people who love the game, but most would actually like to at some point get a new real AAA RTS, because SC2 is dated. But EA does not seem to understand how to make C&C games, and nothing has been said about WarCraft 4 (because WoW and the film probably), so it is a bit of an odd situation right now. But if you truly think StarCraft II is something that could be described as a new game, then you really need to learn more about gaming...

it's not new, it's been dying since MOBAs became popular...

+movement2contact DotA was a very popular mod long before StarCraft II came out... League of Legends came out before SC2... It has not been dying to MOBA, it has been dying of old age. While DotA and LoL are older games there are so many more options, as champions and items are upgraded and the sheer number of heros you can play makes it a lot harder for meta to go completely stale, which it easily does in SC2 as Blizzard have been ruining the game by making excessive micro focussed to a point, where there is in many scenarios only one logical option that can lead you to success, where there used to be several (unless of course you are a Korean GM...).

+bloodlazio league came out AFTER starcraft 2, I also disagree with your point. For someone that has and does play both games, starcraft 2 is an extremely complex game, but when you look at it with no knowledge of whats going on, it looks simple. In my opinion starcraft 2 is much more difficult in almost every aspect. However league is also a very complex game and I do not think either game significantly trumps another, however, mechanically, I think starcraft surpasses league immensly. Coupled with the extreme complexity I think there are definitely more "options" than league. Its pretty crazy what these top sc2 players are doing, it looks easy enough, but trust me, that statement is far from the truth.

Seriously? Look it up... LoL 2009, SC2 2010. I played both back then, and I still do... The complexity you are referring to is in 1v1, but SC2 has for a long time been having issues with stale meta, and LotV has actually done the complete opposite of the intention and made it even harder to do alternative strategies. The APM skill is completely different from strategy and meta option. As League and DotA does not have 2, but 10 players and around a 100 or so races, then the composition options and build combination make the options for alternative strategies a lot more complex, than PvZ and i guess I am building adepts, because I do not like losing. That has nothing to do with the challenge of the game, but is a matter of the complexity of the meta. Both games require a lot of concentration to be any good, but in League you can get carried by the team... No such luck in SC2 :) The lack of a team can also make laddering harder for some, as they feel completely alone and demoralised by getting crushed by a better player, while MOBAs can make balanced teams of good and bad players on both sides.

If you take a reaction time speed, what are the results? I'm curious about how they would compare to mine at age 16. I get 223-227 ms on average (While I am super focusing)

+WaiGee that's really the difference tbh, 7 aps on a gamecube controller is nuts

There's no doubt that sc2 is the harder eSport, but don't undervalue the skill required to play melee. the flow of the game makes you take decisions with barely any time in between. There's really not much multitasking but there A LOT of decision making, as much as in sc2. imo both are the hardest eSports

+Hurr Durr I would argue that while sc2 is harder overall due to the immense amount of decisions needed at one time and the large amount of inputs needed to be good melee is harder tactical. While you play you need to make decisions with incomplete information in fractions of a second or you could lose. Since the movement of the characters happens in frames and often less than 40 frames you may have to reposition based on what your opponent is doing in a couple of frames to get a hit. This is prominate in the neutral game and with the amount of options you have it is usually very difficult to correctly position yourself to hit your opponent

Don't forget that in a fighting game executing must be done with timing and rhythm (like the micro), you cannot just race through the inputs as fast as possible. In RTS's like starcraft the macro can be executed as fast as possible, contributing to the higher APS. The biggest factor is definitely the keyboard mouse though, just how the mouse is more made lends itself to faster output.

I personaly cant compare the two games that well mostly beacuse i havent actuly played sc2. But in fighting games mind games are your best wepon Street Fighter is basicly 80% mindgames and 20% tech skill, but Melee is 50% tech, 50% mind, you can press buttons really fast and get really far just by beeing quick, but In high level Melee, you can be as fast as possible but if you fight someone who knows how to counter you and outsmart you, your gonna lose. A perfect example is player Westballz vs Mang0 Westballz is in my opinion THE most technical player in all of melee, Mang0 on the other hand is not as technical but still pretty insane. The reason why Mang0 offen wins against Westballz is because hes one the most unpredictable players, even he doesnt know what hes gonna do. I find that (WARNING: MY OPINION) Starcraft ~ 45% tech skill, 55% mindgames CS:GO ~ 33,3% tech skill, 66,6% mindgames Melee ~ 50% tech skill 50% mindgames Smash4 ~ 20% tech skill 80% mindgames (none of these are inherently bad, it only shows what type of players are most prevalent/ effective, and/or what to expect in the eSport) *DL;DR - eSports differ greatly in technical skill and mental skill*

That’s why I don’t play hard-core on COD anymore. Radar, map, and my brain are the only tools I have.

Lol true I'm gonna be 35 in 5 months but don't play games all day anymore work and taking care of our house but i still like to play a few hours and play nintendo with my sis who is a year younger and my younger brothers it's fun my mom and step dad who are in there 50s will also play games now it's crazy

A_Mad_Khajiit oh, I wouldn’t want to be 16 again. Too much bullshit.

Just look at HWC

And SKT T1 won $1,000,000 at the League of legends world championships last year

Dota2 prize pool was at 7M. he didnt do any research

+Kasperekdk Peasants talking about small change, when "Evil Geniuses" earned $6,634,660.68. That's some real money, all right.

Who gives a shit ? The prizepools are irrelevant to this video

General Morango amazing !

StarCraft broodwar oh man what childhood memories 🙈😊👌

Best games ever created man. SC bw. I put many many hours into that game

rip incontrol as well

Dude my dad also showed me starcraft when I was 7. And age of empires 2

Because everyone's bad or it's easy to learn

This is the only comment that makes sense.

+MMat JJo no that's true idiot

+MMat JJo think about depression. Depression is a feeling with no hope and feel like you aren't getting anywhere with your life. Video games solve that by giving you hope and doing something that is meaningful

Or give you a depression.. The feeling you lose all hope in humanity because of those damned "team"mates who can't see the difference from their arse and their elbow with the help of a map and a flashlight in the dark.. Though (slightly off topic) certain shooters seem to help with PTSD especially for ex-militairy.

And that is precisely why I play Starcraft. Np annoying teammates who don't know anything ruining my game. Just me vs my opponent in an ultimate battle of skill

No problem

Faze Luis damn straight

Faze Banks

The CSGO Cloud9 team are known for saying on record they abused adderall

At least the graphics are nice. The gameplay could use some tweaking though, and it's abit p2w.

Yeah and maybe if I could have save states my sister would still be alive (jk)

We have a money cheat code it's called using the stealing skill. Its against the terms of service tho.

yes , play videogames should be use to just have fun . i am not agree use that like a form of competition . there's something much import to do that invest 10 or 12 hours . in that time i could learn a lot a things

***** Yup. I play games people play competitively, because they're fun, I even join in tournaments sometimes, but it's because it's a fun time, not because I want to win

And what kind of education background do you have and how do you earn your salary?

Eethan O'Connell there are ways to make money without having a job or having have a degree and could be potentially be more successful

Eethan O'Connell I work in IT, and I have a degree in computer science.

Fits the profile.

All I said is that your job fits a certain profile...based on your first comment.

The Golden-Dave night time is for games, who needs sleep?

Pfft veteran players can multitask both *Eating while playing and sending messages* Checklists are so darn useful

Just think of gaming as a sport

What if the guy is 40 years old and still live in parents house and just playing video games all day because he has no bills and he is single?

To be fair, maps have been getting more complicated especially with the newer games that have jump boost stuff.
