CroScorpion Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Do you think that the games can help you in real world. Like make you stronger or help you react... I think YES!!! Edited April 18, 2007 by CroScorpion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O.D Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Of course not. Games: Fun. And I think that too much gaming can isolate us from getting together. You know what I'm sayin'? I'm not sayin' gaming's bad, but seriously... Too much gaming can have a negative effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Games aren't as helpful. I think that games are just for fun, entertain's you and can make you feel more relaxed depending on what game you're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Lord Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It depends on what you play. Research says MM2 and games like that help become a better driver:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroScorpion Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yes, and they say that FPS can help you react faster and notice things faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Fast paced shooting and driving games like Halo, GTA, CS, BF, etc. heavily increase your hand-eye coordination and helps you process thoughts and actions quicker. Games like DDR build up leg strength and stamina. Good aerobics, pretty much. Actually making you stronger? Doubt it. What game requires heavy lifting? O.o OH! You mean carrying your PS3 home? BURN MOTHER f***ER! BURN! Anyways..... .... This should be in gaming, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O.D Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah, if you mean by everyday skills, then yes. Games can help a bit. Sorry I didn't quite understand that this is about everyday skills and such. Because yeah eversince I play Call of Duty 2 on Veteran and beat it, I can catch my friend's passings (in basketball) better than before, automatically. LOL, Spaz! I laughed my ass off when you posted that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silberio Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i think some of them can, GTA games helps you to..eh...know what it feels to kill like a moron, whilst Dog's Life makes you know that a Chihuahua can help you to get a bone, it depends on the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're mistaking improving skills with learning information. On top of that, the "information" you "learned" is utterly useless in any real-world situation that isn't highly far-fetched.

The Bossman Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 They can improve your hand-eye co-ordination, but that's about it. I don't think any of those 'brain train' games do anything other than contradict you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 You can get more than coordination from games. Like I said, DDR, it's exercise. You also gain quicker thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate10 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah, hand and eye cordination, quicker reflexes, and the Wii makes you loose so far up to 40% weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I defo think they help in a way Spaz said, but I prefer to use them to relieve stress and simply have fun. Do they help in the terms of social communication depends on what games mean for you. If they're the last thing you'd do on a sunny day then it's ok, you don't live for games and playing games are better than doing nothing, like when it's raining and nobody wants to go out that night, right? If you prefer playing games over people, yeah, you probably have a problem. Also, beating a game will probably make you feel better and more sociable, while being stuck on a level would make you greedy and agressive. So I think it kinda all depends on the sucess/fail.

Silberio Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 i've noted that Counter Strike have helped me to get more precision, coordination, eye-something and reflexes or something like that. even as it laggs so much I defo think they help in a way Spaz said, but I prefer to use them to relieve stress and simply have fun. Do they help in the terms of social communication depends on what games mean for you. If they're the last thing you'd do on a sunny day then it's ok, you don't live for games and playing games are better than doing nothing, like when it's raining and nobody wants to go out that night, right?

So I think it kinda all depends on the sucess/fail. 3 words: NO WAY. lol, im joking, i think it depends on the person, because i've been stuck for months in some games, but my personality havent changed at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
