How do you deal with your reflexes failing as you age...

How do you deal with your reflexes failing as you age? I cant hangle this fast paced shit like I could as a kid playing DMC3 on the hardest difficulty.

I cant get better than Bronze now on Bayonetta Normal mode

I can't tell if it's the port or my memory failing me but the camera feels a lot shittier and so does the dodging.

>Stone award
Wait...what the fuck?

Buy the bat thing.

>that weird feel when you think you've got good at the game then you start playing Jeanne and everything goes to shit

>Try to DDR since college
>My legs when

Is Jeanne harder?

It fucking sucks
>Cant play rythm games like i used to
>Cant into fast paced shit in general
Im pretty sure my 13 years old me would beat my ass in any game
Good think that im an rpg autist

She requires considerably more precise timing. Bayo is kinda like the casual character when compared to others.

better start investing in the turn-based lobby goy

38 here, It's fine for me as long as I don't play anything competitive. My 14 year old really comes close to beating my ass in fighting games and shooters now. He wins more then I'd like to admit and and although I win more than him I have to really work to win and I can feel that alot if it's because I don't have the reponse time and twitch muscle that I used to.

I never had good vidya reflexes even as a teenager so its no big deal.

Is this bayo 1 or 2? I thought there were only two characters in bayo 1.

>this actually happens when you get older
Is this a meme or real life? I just turned 30, if I keep exercising and stay relatively healthy will my reflexes still degenerate?

pls

>be 30

>played fighting games and FPS my
Whole life

>drank a lot of green tea and ate niacin rich foods

>don't smoke or drink beyond 2 drinks at most

>avoid braindead easy games like the plague

>still wreck people of all ages in vidya, won a SF tournament 2 years ago, got matched with M2K in bracket at the last tournament I attended.

>gold rank in every fighting game I own

>still have a fiance, a laboratory job, and biochem degree

Never slacken. Aging is a choice. I more to teach everything I know to my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren

In Bayo 1 you can play as Bayo, Jeanne and as the king of the little devils.

Bat time or whatever doesn't work with Jeanne, so you need precise dodging everytime.

30 is the age bad habits catch up to most people.

If you took care of yourself and are blessed with healthy genetics you will only continue to grow in aptitude.

literally get good with gaze of despair on all your playthroughs

25 and confident I could beat my 16 year old selfs ass at any game, I cant help but feel ive only gotten better in every way.

Is the wall coming? Surprising amount of 30+year olds here

>How do you deal with your reflexes failing as you age?
Stop playing that kiddie shit.
Fighting game people are fooling themselves when they say combos are complected and competitive FPS like CS is a huge waste of time anyway.

Nope, everyone loses finger twitch skills in their late 20s. This is why China has teenagers assemble our phones. Most "retire" by their mid 20s.

Man I'm 22 and I already feel my reflexes failing. I remember playing TF2, Chivalry and Tribes Ascend, now I can't really stand competitive FPS.

No. If you are regularly using your reflexes and aren't degenerating into shitterhood, you're fine. People just use this as an excuse for being bad at games.

My brother!

>remember being alright at DMC4 and MGR
>total garbage at Bayonetta

I wonder if I would do better if I played it in docked mode. Probably not

It's the award you get for not backtracking
bravo kamiya. First it was red orbs, now it's these "extra verses" filler.

I'm 29 and I platinum'd Bayonetta on Normal, and finished all the harder difficulties and managed to get silver-gold on most stages on the first try, even though I was skipping the optional fights.
I did notice that I'm falling behind younguns in competitive FPS though.

Jeanne dodges don't trigger witch time, but I think she can chain dodges infinitely, not only like 3 times, however many Bayo gets.

Not really. She takes 50% more damage than Bayonetta, but her Wicked Weaves do 50% more damage as well, plus she has infinite dodges, unlike Bayonetta. On the lower difficulties she only gets Witch Time off a Moth Within (A frame perfect dodge), hopefully she (and later Zero, who can only survive 1 and later 2 hits) can help teach players how to play the game and perfect their skill at minimizing or not taking any damage at all.

Basically, if you rely on Witch Time, Jeanne will teach you to do frame perfect dodges or to simply not rely on it any more.

practice.

Kamiya is like 50 and he's an absolute beast at this game, so stop blaming your age and get to training that procedural memory.

You don't really need to perfect dodge, when simply dodging in Bayo has a fuckton of iframes and you can cancel your attacks into dodging.

>a laboratory job, and biochem
did you get hired through the school?

I just explained you need a frame perfect dodge with Jeanne to activate her Witch Time off a Moth Within

And I just said you don't really need to trigger witch time to minimize or take no damage, when simple dodges generously provide you with invincibility.

Im 25 now and I cant button mash like i used to. The quicktime events in RE4 are acually hard again.

The people talking about how they were clearly playing on the lower difficulties where they were used to having Witch time

Dont talk to me any more

Else suffer what consequence?

I'm 31, how old are you? Maybe play more and practice. Not having any issues with reflexes

What do you mean lower difficulties? Is there no witch time at all on harder settings?

No witch time on NSIC

shieet man

Maybe if you were healthy, didn't eat shit and exercised more.

This is probably not the best thread to ask this, but is Bayo 1&2 for Switch any different from the WiiU version?

>always shit at vidya
>will never know the feel of getting notably wose

ohh what a day

Wow you are retarded, if you go without seeking secrets and all encounters you can get gold quiet easly, you are just a shitter

Can't fail if I never had them to begin with

>but the camera feels a lot shittier
The camera went into a wall for me for almost forty seconds during a boss fight. It was miserable.

>gold

I'm in my 30s now and am way better at video games than I've ever been.

I've been playing Bayonetta for the first time ever too and I have the potential to do well, but mostly stink because it's just the sort of games that takes a while to get good at.

When I enter "the zone" im a beast, but my skill floor has dropped over the years.

It is hard to get platinum without encounters mongo, I was just making the point that it is very easy to get gold without most of encounters

I just keep playing and try to be better. And I will keep trying even if it seems I'm getting worse. Gotta climb that mountain.

nah i thought it was at first but then i knew i was just using that as an excuse to git gud

I just stopped caring as much about being the best. I know I can't compete with the squeakers anymore so I just stopped trying to. As for solo games? No shame in turning it down a difficulty notch if it's being frustrating, who the fuck is gonna know or care?

I'm 29 next month and a legit alcoholic, but I've gotten through plenty of games that have challenged me. I don't look forward to 60 though.

You are beyond measurable levels of stupid.

Nah, I'm 40 and averaged platinum in Bayonetta on normal and hard. Couldn't be arsed to plat every level though.
It's arthrosis and nerve damage that will wreck us, around 60.

26. I am definitely worse.
Losing at smash, not being a natural at Mario kart, it's very subtile, but skills are slowly failing, it's not like I am worse in reflex, but something definitely wrong is happening.

Having bad habit in general also affect your gaming prowess in my experience

Difficulty can serve to complement the narrative. If you're not struggling to stay alive in a survival horror game, you're not having the full experience.

I'm halfway to 32 and I've been feeling it. It's not bad enough that it stops me from playing these games though, it's just noticeable.

Nice arguments

Oh absolutly, but if it's a point where it's just not fun anymore and has a slider, why not dip it down? If it's not fun, you can always bump it back up. The trick is just letting go of some "gamer pride" nonsense I used to have myself is what I was saying.

Nah. The real shit sets in at 40 where the human body naturally engine to degenerate in specific ways... Usually light eyesight loss and the onset of arthritis in abused body parts.

I'm 40 next month, and my reflexes are still fine. The problem for me is joint damage in my fingers.

Mine have only gotten better, I have my first professional fight in 3 weeks.

keep in mind the difference of games. Unless you're trying to do those same games today. I find I like slower more tactical stuff like Xcom or total war but I always did for the latter and for the former it was just my stupid kiddie self snubbing my nose at turn based. I seem alright when it comes to those intermediate shooters between twitch and milsim or the ones that are milsim oriented. Exception is squad but I blame other stuff than my age there.

Step father is 63 and still plays guitar. At least a year or so ago he still did racketball. I am not sure if he still does. As of the past 4 years we were doing some pretty laborious yard work (like, dig a 6 foot trench to rebuild a wall). It definitely wore on him but he was able to do it fine. I think it's starting to hit him more now, but yoga and such helps wonders. Vidya is going to be fine when you are older. They had old people thrilled with wii shit. Not so sure you'll be doing the real hardcore fast twitch stuff. Hell with our population size it would be smart for them to cater to 60+ millennials with vidya designed to them.

>Bad habit
drug or alcohol or what.

WHAT A DAY

32 and my reflexes are pretty great.

good luck user. im rooting for you

Niggas be playing NHL in real life at 40 years old and you guys complain that you can't be good at video games at 25?

It's not really an issue unless you're a pro CS player or something.

bayonetta makes me feel bad for dying like no other game has before, i hate it.

I hate being alive.

Who doesn't?

The dead.

>Devil May Cry 3
>Bayonnetta

>hard

Not even memeing this are not hard games. I'm aging too and I'm getting BETTER at games. If you want to do this

1. Eat well and take care of your health. That affects your mind
2. Actually play hard games. You don't get playing piss easy games like DMC3. Download a cave shooter and turn the difficulty up to max. Play actually tough games. If this doesn't sound good you simply do not have an appetite for difficulty.

THE SHADOW REMAINS CAST

>How do you deal with your reflexes failing as you age?
They haven't, not when it comes to video games anyway. I'd say they're even sharper now. 31 btw.

Assembling phones, and playing the piano are a far cry from a button press on a controller. Controllers are already so damn ergonomic. Really the only thing it could come down to is reaction time, but even there, there's hardly any moments where reaction matters more than the ability to predict when you'll need to press a button.
Like in fighting games, usually the most clutch moments are from predictions, not reactions.

I never really bothered with accessories in both games because they're expensive and don't really show what they can do, so I just spend halos on new moves and costumes instead.

Is there some kind of guide / video showing their effects ? Replaying 1+2 on Switch right now so I might give them a chance.

In my 40s (really) and reflexes are even better now than when I was young, because I kept playing videogames when other people sat around the idiot box or went out and drank themselves stupid.

The death counter increasing with each death really makes you feel like dumb retard

"the shadow remains cast" okay thanks buddy

Lots of caffeine.

I know the feeling, I get it every time I play a competitive FPS on PC; I'm not the kind of person who blames things around him, I'm under no illusion that "the mouse was throwing me off" or "that guy was hacking", I look at my deaths and go
>holy shit, when did I get so bad?

I'm not the worst player ever, but I'm a shadow of my former self in terms of skill

I remember the days of going on fy_pool_day in 1.6, grabbing a pump action shotty and relying on my reflexes and control alone to get kills 0.1 seconds after turning a corner
but now I had to give up on titanfall 2 because my hands are too slow to track people double jumping and wall running and shit

not really a thing, unless you're really old like 50 or something.

performance is a lot better, mostly 60fps now

>How do you deal with aging
By trying not to cry.
Then cry a lot.

Git gud fag
