**The Updated Battlefield: A Rapid Shooter and the Mature Gamer’s Quandary**
Reddit user Poorly-Timed-Gimly, a 50-year-old enthusiast of the Battlefield franchise, finds himself facing a dilemma with the launch of Battlefield 6. Even though he is excited about the game returning to its fundamentals, he feels that he is too advanced in age to appreciate it completely. His wife, combining affection with humor, offers a solution for older players.
**Shooter Strain**
In his post, Poorly-Timed-Gimly commends Battlefield 6 as a triumphant comeback of the series. “It feels like Battlefield,” he remarks. However, after dedicating countless hours to earlier versions, he no longer derives pleasure from multiplayer shooters. Instead, they create feelings of anxiety and pressure, a stark departure from his previous passion. He managed just ten matches of BF 6 before realizing he’s “old and fatigued.” Fellow gamer Hoot151 supports this view, mentioning slower reflexes and the dispersal of his shooter companions as factors for his declining enthusiasm.
**An Elderly Mode**
Poorly-Timed-Gimly’s wife proposes an “elderly men mode” for games, comparing it to a milder variant of a pasta sauce he relishes, dubbed “Sensitive Marinara.” This concept, while addressing age sensitivity, strikes a chord with some gamers. User icecream_specialist shows interest in such a mode. Numerous players in the comments reveal their move away from PvP shooters as they grow older, suggesting narrative-driven shooters or co-op games that promote a more leisurely pace.
