1,000%. I’m a 31 year old guy who grew up on basic video game mechanics from the PS2/PS3 era. This shit is just way too complex for me to jump into with my limited time.

Age/era has nothing to do with it. 31 isn’t even that old that’s like prime gaming years we grew up in

I say my age because I/we grew up with games that had complexity baked into simple mechanics.

Bioshock is a prime example: it had such depth and complexity but the mechanics were so intuitive. Elden Ring and the like have so much going on with monotone menus that I can’t even see.

Damn you must not like Armored Core then seeing as it started early on the PS1
