Can Elderly Players Succeed in Doom 2016 on Nightmare Difficulty?

-

I’m curious if an older person can really take on Doom 2016 on Nightmare difficulty and do well. Is it feasible for someone who’s elderly to master the fast-paced chaos in single-player mode? Also, is there any way to mod the PC version of Doom 2016 to allow for customizable difficulty settings? For example, can you adjust it so that only enemy melee attacks and projectiles are slowed down, while still keeping the game on Nightmare? This would help give players more time to react to the action.

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. Playing on Nightmare isn’t just about split-second reactions; it also involves learning the game mechanics. With practice, anyone can improve their skills. Plus, using glory kills can give you a breather and help strategize your next move. The enemies have set patterns, so you can always use that to your advantage! Just think of it like cooking an omelette—it’s quick now, but it takes time to get there!

Yeah, but don’t forget that the hardest difficulty does put your reflexes to the test. As you get older, natural reaction times can slow down, so it’s definitely a challenge.

Honestly, I think modding for difficulty like that could be really neat! It would allow players to enjoy the intensity of Nightmare while getting some leeway for reaction time. Guessing there’s no official way to do that yet, but if you’re savvy with mods, you might find a way to tweak it!

I recently helped my dad set up Doom 2016 on his retirement PC. He loves it! Age doesn’t really matter; it’s all about getting used to the game’s pace. It might take some time, but if he enjoys it, that’s what counts!
