Sure. It doesn't matter to me.

Some games, like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations feature supposedly old protagonists, which is uncommon in games. How do you feel about it?

Please help me compile a list of games where you play as old folks! Make sure to include the character name.

I like playing as old characters, because it can be pretty funny to watch old guys do ridiculous video game things. The final boss of MGS4 is just 2 old men beating the shit out of each other, and it's pretty amazing.

Also, we've had what was pretty much this discussion/poll before.

@FluxWaveZ Gods damn it. Hilarious enough I actually looked this time. Maybe the 10th time I've ever done that. I guess a mod can lock this up, but I was hoping for list generation.

Sure.

Old badass guys are more badass than young badass guys.

I don't like playing video games with characters that are too young. Like all those teenagers who keep saving the world in Japanese role-playing games.

If the character differs from the oh so overused 30 something with brown hair and stubble, yes, I'd like the change.

If it's a good game then it doesn't matter to me.

I really don't care. I like playing games that are good.

This. If the game is good I couldn't care less what the character is like.

I won't say I like or dislike playing as an old person. I don't mind, just like I don't mind if it's someone of a different ethnicity or gender. It doesn't matter if it's written well and the game's fun to play.
