Are some games too fast or am I too old?

It was for sure. Being a Star Wars fan growing up, my favorite FPS is Star Wars Battle Front which has a decent enought single player with bots that I enjoy solo.
pbj:
Battlefront 2 cost me like $5 on ps4 and has a decent solo campaign.
The first one had a good psvr mission.
Still need to finish up Rogue Squadron or whatever the VR one was.
Ginger Jedi still taunts me.
Been some good Star Wars games lately, to be honest.

The bot AI is getting to the point to where there isn't that much difference between them and human controlled opponents. They still do some dumb things at times which can be taken advantage of, but I don't think it will be too much longer before you can't tell the difference. I can see the genre transitioning at some point to more developed campaigns, and multi-player with more emphasis on co-op against AI opponents. If someone is cheating in the party, it won't be as game-breaking or it'll be self-correcting.

I have a pair of Dominux 8 sticks from Randy at Groovy Game Gear, and LOVE them. Worth every penny. Is a direct drop-in replacement for an X-arcade stick. No modifications needed. I also have a custom panel I built with a pair of Ultimarc Ultimate 360 sticks. These also are phenomenal. I am old (55) and grew up with leaf spring buttons and sticks. I never really got into the fighting games. I would play Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, but they did not have the addictiveness like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong did. Both the sticks mentioned above do not have that clicky sound/feel of a micro switch stick. One advantage of the Ultimate 360, is you can do 4-way, 8-way, 2-way (is this really even needed?) Diagonal (Q*Bert, Congo Bongo) and true Analog very easily via software (PC only, so will not be able to switch on Mac, Raspberry Pi, MISTer etc...). Both sticks are highly recommended. Pricey? Yes, but worth the money.
PS, Hey Randy!! I just got a Tron stick (with you still sold them), and will be ordering a trigger from you soon.
