Why are we playing?

But why does each of us play computer games? Why is he immersed for hours, days and even weeks into the game, into this beautiful world, fully getting used to it?

I play to Live ... not as a person;) It's more interesting there ... In this life, the plot is snotty and snotty people around - many of the games are more alive ...
And my opinion is that if you are drawn into the world of the game, then this is no longer I play, and he is with me!

And I play:
1) because it's interesting! : up:
2) fill my free time: razz:
3) remove aggression: uzi:: maniac:

I think I'm just curious. I perceive games as interactive books in which I directly participate. Games are also adrenaline to some extent, pure rage, especially in fighting games.

life is a game, and video games are minigames in a game called life. When you play games, you also use minigames.

What is the wrong question "[b] Why are we playing [/ b]?", I play because I play. Another position for which we all play.

ZyuYyu I played in order to win (CA, WarCraft3), I played with the aim of immersion, I played with the aim of distraction, I played with the aim of killing time, in order to experience something that I will never experience in my life ... There are a
lot of goals, reasons ... I'm like that)))

why do some people drink vodka, and some use drugs?
games are addiction (I don’t know what)

in general, there are three types of gamers:
1. Profi - they play for the sake of money, fame.
2. Amateurs - play for fun.
3. Testers - testers.

Like so :) .

[quote name = "ARLe"] generally divided into three types of gamers:

It seems so :). [/ Quote]
You know, IMHO, the list is not entirely complete. It can still be divided into subcategories. In particular, the second group:
a) Gamers - "killers". IMHO, the most extensive category (unfortunately, and maybe fortunately). This includes fans of all kinds of paintkillers, crimsonlands, dooms, alien shooters, quakes, among other things.
b) Gamers-tactics. Various strategists who take pleasure in winning through their well thought out and precise actions.
c) Gamers - "analyzers". (look in the section "Survival Horror", there are a lot of them). They love games with a deep, soulful storyline. It is the plot and the course of events that interest them most of all. After completing the games, they can sit for a long time and analyze the actions of the heroes, the events that have taken place, "cause and effect." I think it's clear that the bulk of these are RPGs.

Actually, it is also an incomplete table, but I have named the main (read "the most numerous") subcategories. In general, initially it is necessary to divide gamers not into categories, but on the basis. And then into categories, subcategories, etc. A very extensive table will turn out.

For me, a good computer game is like a good book: if the game manages to drag you into another world and live the adventures of the main characters for a while, then it's worth playing for that.

I have been playing games since 1996.
I can't imagine life without my favorite console. And in general I play to relax. So to say, "to get away from the gray everyday life of our life."
