Average age of SHIII players?

[HMCS]

I'm 42, going on 14 apparently.

The wife has pretty much given up on getting me to stop playing, so I now I come to bed when she turns in (usually) and she is getting more 'attention', so to speak.

[gonzman]

I'm 21.

I had my fiance playing Grand Theft Auto 3 and The Sims.

As best as i can get her to understand the passion for gaming.

[William Munny]

34. Cars and sims! :) Wife is pretty unsupportive of each hobby. :D

[Caleb]

Age 38 and heading towards mid life crises. :damn:

[bigboywooly]

43 with a totally understanding wife that allows me to play as often as I want --- or is it that she would rather have me out the way :rotfl:

This game has totally replaced all others I play tho still have the odd go on Rome/Medieval total war for a change

[Ula Jolly]

I'm 17, and you're all halfway to the coffin! :arrgh!:

[Puster Bill]

Yeah, the Iron Coffin....

39 here, and started playing sub sims back in the 1980's with Sub Battle Simulator. Also played Das Boot and Wolfpack, then drifted away until I discovered SHIII, and got a computer (actually, it's my work laptop) that could actually run it.

[MaxenThor]

I'm 71. No category for me! :cry: ;) And yes,I've been on a Sub but not as a crewman. I guess I'm part of the"Silent Generation" :)

[kiwi_2005]

43, but when at sea in my Uboat im a young 30yr old kapitan, although known by my crew as "The old man":cool:

38 with an understanding wife who puts up with SH3, IL2, and a s**tload of WW2 DVD's.

[lafeeverted]

40 in a number of days! Luckily with a girlfriend who also puts up with SH3, all things WW2 and car racing ( of course that means I have to put up with HGTV, Project Runway and lots and lots of shoes ) :rotfl:

[JSalinger]

17 in six weeks, with a mother who thinks I spend every minute of my time before and after school that doesn't involve homework, eating, chores, sleeping, hitting the head, and getting ready for school playing SHIII. :lol: Thank you Ubisoft!

[perisher]

Well I'm 52 actually and I was never on a real U-Boat but I have visited the Finnish sub "Vesikko", the Type IIA prototype. I have also been to Chicago on several occasions but never had time to see the U-505:cry: .
I did once spend a day at sea in a Royal Navy "A Class" boat, while doing an underwater warfare course.

[Umfuld]

Have 400 or so people really voted in this poll?

Oddly, my wife would prefer it the other way around. :hmm: I don't understand the logic - she complains when I'm on the computer, she complains when I'm at the pub, so I don't see the difference either way.

[Stev1]

I,m 49

Other games are Doom3, Doom3 ROE, Medal of Honor(Assault,Breakthrough,Pacific Assault) CSI Miami

Given that situation, I would opt for the Pub.:p

Surely the difference is :- When you are in the pub you can't hear her complaining:()1:

A friend of mine's three sons all grew up as tabletop wargamers. When his wife complained that's all they ever did, he replied "Well, they could be out on the streets playing with guns and drugs instead".

Funny, I voted back when the poll was new, and I could have sworn I posted something then. Anyway, I'm 56, still play in a rock 'n' roll band, still ride motorcycles, still...well, that parts none o' your business.

[zpn09]

Just turned 18 here :D Been today to some place to pick up my ID :up: Now I can buy beer without feeling nervous that they won't sell it to me :arrgh!:

Hey man, you can't drop it with "none o' your business". Guys our age should boast about it.:yep: :rotfl:

[coronas]

I'm a 45 years young. I like air sims and sub sims and never refused the next beer or the last pub....and blues, blues, blues...

[rls669]

That's a really nice distribution on the age graph.

Just as well your U-Boat crew don't want a captain who is drunk on duty. :p

[Puster Bill]

That's a really nice distribution on the age graph.

Funny thing is, you would think it would be biased towards the young'uns, yet it seems to be the opposite (slightly).

[Rose]

Well, I think most people my age enjoy games where you run and gun as opposed to realistic WWII naval simulations...

[Saintaw]

<-- Generation X :)

[Floater]

Actually, I expected the demographic to be older on average - it seemed to be that way with SH2/DC players. Kind of a skewed bell-curve.

45 here, BTW.

[Kapitan_Phillips]

17 with a submarine fan girlfriend.

All I can say is "w000000000000000000000000000000000t" :arrgh!:

Some say I'm a 40 year old in a teenagers shell. What, being 6' 6" and all, kind of skews that. Other things that are unusual for my age:

I love 60's music
I love Kraftwerk (its a very 'aquired' taste)
I have size 15 feet (O_O!)
I dont smoke, or do drugs (though the occasional brandy has passed my gums >_>)
I know more about Russian Sonar than I do about my AS Biology syllabus
I know who Chuck Norris is
I possess a Chuck Norris t-shirt
I actually want my Commodore 64 back.

[Nightowl]

I'm 66 and was on a diesel/battery sub in '64' as an 'Honorary Submariner' on the USS Halfbeak out of Portsmouth, NH Can't seem to be able to vote, says I already did, but not to my knowledge.. -Nightowl

This topic is about a year old, you probably did vote before, you just dont remember.

[Sailor Steve]

I didn't remember...luckily the system reminded me.

You already voted; now you get your own poll. You are

1) Stupid

2) Senile

3) All of the above

[Fitz62STG]

I'm 32. My first computer was an AMD 450 back in 1998. Thank GOD there was nothing like this when I was a kid or I would not know what the OUTSIDE world is like. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I'm a 45 year old in a 22 year old's shell, myself, since I fit in with a lot of those points.

In fairness, unless I go out and say it, most people on forums I've been to indeed assumed that I was surely in my 5th decade and not barely the 3rd :hmm:

[TreverSlyFox]

Well, I turned 58 the end of May. Never served on a Sub (Army, Airborne, 66-70) but I have toured the U-505 3 times and would do it again. My first tour of the U-505 was some 48 years ago and it hooked me on subs for the rest of my life. My first Sub-sim was Seawolf or 688 Attack Sub, I can't remember which was first. Don't laugh, ya'll are headed for CRS sooner or later if you live long enough. :yep:

[moselgott]

I´m sweet little 16 and I:
-never served on a sub
-am not going to do so
-play SH3 since Dec.2005
-love SH3
-like punk rock (above all german rock -> die Ärzte, Die Toten Hosen....:lol: )

[Saukko]

29, and soon 30. My first computer was IBM PS/1 (http://www.homecomputermuseum.de/comp/101_de.htm). We bought it 1990 and I still have it, and it works perfectly last time I checked it a couple of years ago. Ah, I played some of my favorite games with that, like Silent Service II, Star Control II, Civilization and Space Quest I - IV.

Half a year until im 30, my first ever game/sim was SH1 from 97/98?

[Vorkapitan]

I guess I've passed on ... "Old Sailors never die they just pass beneath the waves "

I'm 66 + .... no category to vote! :arrgh!:

[Sailor Steve]

Welcome aboard. The last category is for anyone from 51-85+, hence the 'I served on a U-boat' comment. I'm a decade younger than you, but we're in the same 'Old Farts' category, so give us a vote for 51+.:up:

[Greenpencil]

If you really want to know my age, see my personal profile....:up:

[Sailor Steve]

Welcome aboard.

It looks like you'll take the award for youngest member away from Admiral Chris.

[Schani]

47, that would be about 36 Canadian exchange.

I find it amazing how the percentages are so widely distributed with fair amounts of people in all categories.

Aren't all men just kids with credit cards? I'm 19 and a bit. Wish I had girl. Not that the absense of one has anything to do with this game. She'd probably tell me I should cut down on the computer.

[SubConscious]

43 here and although I started with "Pong" and "Space Invaders", I have been an avid fan of simulations ever since. I just picked up SH3 a few weeks ago.

My father served in the US Navy from '39 to '45 aboard three destroyers: Hammann, Bristol, and Isherwood. He said he tried several times to transfer to subs, but couldn't break free of the tin cans.

Nice distribution of ages here...

[Henry Wood]

62. Been interested in subs all my life probably from my Father who served in them during WWII, based in a port called Blyth on the North East coast of England.

[stabiz]

28 years old, and truly in love with SH3 again because of GW.

Actually SH3 is my first warsim, I have only played racing simulators before.

(I dont consider first person shooters simulators, although Red Orchestra is nice)

I am also a WW2-buff, and read alot.

(And I am really good looking :cool:)

29 here, as far as I remember from last time my friends tried to wish me happy birthday. What's wife anyway? A woman I live with doesn't even ask "What are you doing? Why aren't you asleep? Don't you go to work in two hours?" when she gets up in the morning and prepares herself to leave. She knows I'm sinking hard. :) And then makes some really good coffee... Do we have real coffee on our boat? Quite strange...

[Von Hinten]

I'm older 'n dirt...

"1961-1981 Generation X"
Well I have to hand it to you Sir, that sounds a whole lot cooler than 'just' 1971: I'm from Generation X! I guess that will turn at least a couple of heads at birthday parties :D

So what does a 35 year old kid do with his spare time? At this moment I'm sharing my PC time solely between SHIII and sim racing, as that's my second big hobby. Actually sim racing was the first but then all of a sudden that darn SHIII just grabbed me and won't let go.

Thus now I'm roaming the oceans in my (t)rusty IXB on my gaming rig while setting up the competition schedule for our racing team, writing race reports and patrol logs on the laptop. It's a great combination.

Oh, and should the boss ask me I'm of course studying and stuff, but I reckon he won't come in here at Subsim. :rotfl:

[Mooncatt]

pretty much all my family at home play apart from my mum:D
im 27 my bro is 25 and my dad is 55 i think

[GT182]

Soon to be 57. If I'd known earlier what I know now...... I'd be still be broke.... and miserable. The Warden says I'm just miserable. What she doesn't know is that it's only when she's around and I can't play SHIII/GWX. LOL JS, we gotta meet at the Pub.

[theowl]

41 going on 14.:D

[Abd_von_Mumit]

I don't understand your pub-love. As far as I understand what a pub is (a friend of mine was in one once, at least he says that), you can't crash dive or loose your fish there... I was also told, that there's a danger of meeting a woman in pub, so I prefer to stay on my boat with my fellow sailmen. The advantage is they don't want me to focus on them all the time... :)

Does 'me[n]tal health" mean 'hull integrity'? And has the alcohol anything to do with the diesel fuel? You are talking about really weird things, guys, I'm feeling a bit lost...

PS And let' say the truth... We're not sub-lovers, pub-lovers, medium-age-crisis-guys... we are just SH3- or sub- or computergame-addicted. :)

Addicted? Well yes but there are worse things to be addicted too!!!

[Enchavado]

56 since last 17 of January, of course I'm from the beat generation :rock: , love to sail, train sims, because train modeling is expensive and space costly, and love SH3/GWX.
My first game was pong :oops: , my first computer a VIC 20 followed by a Commodore 64.
BTW the pub is next door from my house/workplace so they bring me the beer and I can drink while playing SH3. :up:

Good hunting

66 years young and like a fine grog getting better with age. Alienware 2 gig with heavy graphics card. I am addicted to GWX and play 5-7 hours per day and with a wife of 32 years she doesnt care how often I play. She only bitches about the cost of my gear and always having GWX loaded. She even let me put a red light in the computer room so I could see better at night.

[Blacklight]

37 Years old with a VERY VERY VERY patient wife who understands my game addiction but does not partake in it. SH III, Dangerous Waters, City of Heroes and a large gammut of board games (mostly hex and counter war, sci fi/fantasy war,) or pencil and paper RPG's (What ? Play a computer RPG ??? ARE YOU INSANE :o !!?!)

A friend of mine used to work on the San Juan (Which killed his marriage eventually...all that time out to sea and away..) and getting a tour of it really created my interest in subs... then I found 688i Hunterkiller and discovered that his sub is actually in the game !! Then I moved to Sub Command and it was in that too !! Then Dangerous Waters.. and guess what ???? It's in there as well !!!:rock:

I turned 30 about six months ago. I got a card that said "Inside every 30 year old is an 18 year old asking, what happened?" Damn right that's what I was asking.

I made a few computer widows before finding a girl (er, woman) who actually likes her boy (er, man) going on the computer for a few hours, cos it gives her time to chat to her mother, sisters and (gay) brother; hours and hours of "she said, he said" - thank god for headphones!

That's cause young folks (teens) either don't have the patience (ADHD) or time (soccer practice, karate, school, school, more schooling, driving lessons, did I mention school?) to devote to the slow pace of pre-nuclear submarine warfare. Plus, World War 2 is so "like, yesterday" (but not actually yesterday) at least in any genre other than FPS.

Oh my god, I've turned into my parents. WHERE ARE MY SLIPPERS DAMNIT!!!

59 here a fan of war sims for years. Play SHIII and IV, just picked up World in Conflict. Also love platformers on my PSP.

A 16 year USN vet. Began as a Gunners Mate Missleman worked up to E8 and jumped to the LDO program. Spent all my time in WestPac sans the tour at Great Lakes Gunnery School. Got commissioned and jumped out as a Ltjg.... it ceased to be fun after the officer gig. Now I'm a Auditor.. everone's friend :o . Moved from Socal to Dallas and here I be.

SHIII is one of the best sims out there, the Modders have made it so. IV is coming along - but III takes the cake. Nothing better than standing on deck watching the sea move.

29. Didn't go into the Navy like my dad and his dad, but I still ove the sea. Enjoyed first person shooter but they got boring after a while. Couldn't get into roleplaying or strategy games (prefer real life). Then I found SH3. Like an earlier poster said, nothing beats standing on the bridge of your boat ina moving sea on a stormy day.

Just turned 74. Ex Air Force Flight Surgeon, F-100s et al, watched the Berlin Wall go up and go down, remember the Korean war (which is largely forgotten), had a father with Chennault and the AVG in Kunming. Much experience modding combat flight sims (no surprise there) and started with SHI. I find the modding, code modifications, challenges of technic, and the learning curve quite satisfying. Am impressed with the commitment to quality programming and patience with questions I find in the SH3 (and in the flight sim) world most commendable. Hat off to all of you experienced modders (Jimbuna, Lehman, Racerboy, the GWX and NYGM teams...and the others whose names escape me) we all benefit from your fine work.

43. Played my first computer game in a shop in sheffield on the way to a games workshop site. apple star trek game. my first computer dragon 32 which i learnt to program on. first program I wrote was a D&D character generator. Now program for a living.
First major game that blew my socks off.. wolfenstein 3d...you could actually look around corners:D
Still can play doom in my head every level of the shareware version. Favourite games Doom2, Doom3(mod of doom), Civ , AOD, SH3, EU3, Crusader Kings, SimCity and my latest fave Space Rangers 2

Major gripes of the computing industry.. Multplayer is the focus against AI for single player... MP is far easier to program for. Whereas AI is not worth the investment.
Graphics adds to the immersion factor but has lost out to gameplay. I am now at the stage where I can honestly say bugger the new games wait for bargin bin.. whearas I used to buy a game a month..

Life? Don't talk to me about Life.............................................. .......................

[kapitan_zur_see]

25. Started the computer back when the AMSTRAD CPC 6128 was at its glory then switched to a 386 and pentium and so on...
As far as subsim, gone from wolfpack to AOD through all Silent hunter games and 688/ sub command.
As for other games, Flight simulator series and also was an avid fan of morrowind/oblivion ( a little less for the last one).
I also play a lot Red Orchestra

[Hartmann]

38

i saw and played the firsts computer games like wolpack, doom 1-2, unreal, half life, Sh1, AOD,red storm rising , secret weapons of the luftwaffe, falcon 3,clash of steel, perfect general,flight simulator, space simulator, great naval battles,alied general, panzer general,
a lot of old games, :yep: and the gold age of the simulator era.
when the games come with a box, maps, book manual , one or two floppy disk , and a lot of gameplay inside

And others more recently like medal of honor, wolfenstein, call of duty..

Hi Hartmann I'm not plannning on getting married either. I'd like to fall in love every now and then:rock:. My first subsim was Silent Hunter II and Sub Command back in the days of my varsity years. Yea older games came with better packaging and stuffs like the manual was actually written with some degree of quality and quantity as well as accuracy.

Nowadays game costing more than 100 bucks comes with less, much less than those ol games. I'm feelin ol because im talkin about ol games...

The thought of "clicking" on over 51 brought a smile to my face. Over 19 years ago I was still in uniform and only a few years away from my last war ( Gulf War 1991 ).

Tried hard to get in to the fray over there, but ended up stateside working the MI side of the house in support of Special Ops.

Love the slow stalking and "one shot kill" nature of the game. Much like Elk hunting!

25 and I love SH3 i have played it in every form from stock, real uboot, improved uboat and GWX. I bought SH4 played it 3 times and know it sits on the desk unused. I started playing sub games when ACES of the Deep came out, and grey wolves. Those were good games.

[Von Manteuffel]

The maths is easy. To have joined a U-Boat crew aged 17 in 1945, he would have had to be born in 1928.

So any ex U-Boat mariners out there have to be at least 80 years of age.

I'm 30 and i have devoted my life to pc gaming ever since i turned 14.
My earliest sub sim was Wolfpack,followd by SH1,SH2,Enigma and now SH3/SH4.I have forsaken a social life for the continued thrill of hunting tonnage,evading depth charges ,watch burning ships sink and say "When you meet Davy Jones tell him the Kriegsmarine sent you".

49 and near 50.
My fisrt simulator game was Fighter Pilot for Spectrum 64K. Believe me, it was amazing.
Later on my first PC I got EF2000 from DID, and since then I can not stop without simulation games.
From four months ago I rest at home geting up of a quirurgical intervention and now I´m dividing my time beetwen FreeFalcon and GWX.
Nice to meet you again and happy new 2008 year, kaleuns..
