I just had my first “I’m too old for this” moment in gaming.

I wanted to start the God of War series, I played 1 and 2 when I was a kid, as well as 2018 years ago. I decided tonight that starting the series from the beginning sounded really fun, since I never played 3 or Ascension, so went to stream it on PS+.

As it turns out, I'm too old for it! I physically cannot handle the game anymore, the QTEs button spams are absolutely brutal, I can't even do the Hydra one at the beginning of the game. What's worse is, my friend that I played 1 and 2 with (we each played our own saves), could not beat Ares, I had to do it for him because he could not do the button spam, it was one of my proudest moments as a kid gaming wise because he was generally much better at video games than I was.

Damn, this hurts.

EDIT: Gotta say, the replies have been interesting, some cool, others not lol. As I said in the original post, my hands are just not flexible enough anymore to handle the BUTTON SPAM, as in pressing one single button continuously until the sequence is finished, not the normal press one button into another QTE sequences. For the person who asked my age, I'm 36 now.
