I don't get it, why is it harder for adults to learn how to play video games?

[IkeTheGeneric]

A few weeks ago I was playing super smash bros. brawl with my dad.

It was extremely difficult for him to understand the controls. He's a purchase manager, and he's taken up two years of accounting. I don't get why it would be difficult.

Maybe it's because he's not used to games? He plays Eve: Online all the time


Anyways, as soon as I find a suitable answer, I'll lock this thread.

Older people don't learn as fast as kids.

That's sounds pretty right. Although, my 93-year-old great grandfather can play super mario galaxy pretty good.

My dad is one of the best players on Everquest 2, he has almost every server first on his server, and even he learns slow as forget when he gets new games.

very young people can learn things quicker than older, like languages and stufffd

My sisters BF has been playing since he was in like second grade. He's a 10/5

Well, my dad is pretty kick-ass at mario kart, so I guess it just has to be quick-paced fighting games.

He's forty three btw

I don't know any old people who can play games well at all. My mom ets motion sickness, my dad sucks,and everyone else I know doesn't play them

i remember once when i was like 6 i asked my sister to play with me, but she said no
so i asked my dad
he died in like three seconds on mario 3 :(
but who cares, having him play games would be awkward
