Are you better at games...

[Zarxrax]

Games used to be harder, because if you played perfectly you could often make it through the whole game in a matter of minutes. No one would have bought the games back then if it would have ended so quickly.

I've been playing Majora's Mask again. I'm up to the great bay temple in like two days.

I could barely play when I was a kid, I freaked out because of the timer.

Well when I was child couldn´t finish Kirby´s Adventure (nes) on VS BOSS mode. Now I can do it nearly with ease. For both NES & GBA remake

9 bosses & just 1 life (0 available while playing it) makes it difficult

 

[ChaosZero816]

Well, yeah.
Before as a kid, I usually get pawned half-way in any game.
I'm also pretty good now in most online games that I play.

 

[narutofan777]

yeah i think i got better cause i can check websites for faqs and stuff.. and i never knew about those stuff till i got older. most people who games dont even get to play all the extra stuff anyway (in the game) cuz they dont know about it

When I was younger (5-13) I could play games non stop and could get really far, beat hard things, now I can't. My memory/mental ability has lowered over the years and I have no idea why, and now I can't play games much longer than 5min without getting bored, and I can't beat hard things or use my imagination for beating them anymore. I also can't remember half the games I played as a kid, which disappoints me when my brother can name every single one, and remember when and where he was/is.

Summed up: Better as kid.

 

[SinHarvest24]

I would say that i am better at games now that i am older but don't enjoy the games as much as i did as a kid.

 

[BrightNeko]

Yes and No.

For the Yes side with age I've become smarter for the puzzle side of a game, and will try out different tactics in sections I fail on where as when I was a child it was "SAME THING GO GO GO!!!".

For the No bit I remember picking megaman anniversary collect when I was a kid and blazing through it easily and managing Super metroid with no deaths though over the 3 hour limit. Today I struggle with the classic megaman games and with super metroid even while being careful I still die every now and then.

 

[machomuu]

As me, snes and onward were better, and i love very much. some games they improved on the old and reinvented the presentation and use but if you tell me that every new rpg out there doesn't have a growth method similar to Final fantasy then I want to play it.

I think you misunderstand the question, he's asking if you are better at video games now that you are older.

 

[adamshinoda]

When I was a kid, I could play some Super Mario Bros stages on NES with my eyes closed. But now I'm older, I can no longer do that again.

 

[Eric345]

well yeahh but I not tryin to be the best...

 

[Icealote]

No

Unfortunately age is slowing my reflexes and problem solving skills ahah

I grew up with a controller in my hand, I don't think I am better now, I know I am, I'm also braver and smarter, so it helps a lot.
