Average age for this game?

What is the average age for playing SH4 (or sub games overall? Due to the nature of the game, (Let face it, it's slow at times, it happens nothing on long streches and so on...), I would think that the "MacDonalds" generation would stay clear from this kind of game. They usually like fast action paced games with little or no waiting at all, so I would guess an average age of 20-25 and up?

Or is it a game that younger folks likes too?

And what about gender? Is it a male or female game? (I would say male coz of its nature, but hey, I been wrong before!!)


I'm 40 years old and male and since I'm NOT in the MacDonalds generation I like the kind of games you have to use your brain to more things than reloading my gun... like sims and strategy games.

So what about YOU?

Yuor age and gender please!

Male, 27.

I feel like some kind of a youngster here

My first computer (commodore Vic20) had 3,5 kB RAM and no graphics at all, only text mode. But the text was in 8 colours!!!
Maybe that is why I prefer strategies and simulations than those nice, shiny and flashy action games.

Sad but true, although there's plenty of SH players in our age bracket.

Yes "our", I'm 23 :p

Damn straight! I'm not the worst-looking 23-year-old, and here I am still being single (and looking)

Clearly it's all your fault

You might blame it on SH4 for being single you know......

"So hard to find å sub-girl" in front of the computer right? Try the game online then... he he

Male, and I'm 31.

Looks like I'm the only one in the thirties here, so far.

hmm

27 M, A lot of Dinos around here. That would explain why every one is cocky about everything. With the good ole mid life crisis in full swing it's no wonder we get caught up in rants and squables around here, hehehe :rotfl: :rotfl:
