This is a pretty easy guide to follow. To become an expert gamer, you need to devote yourself fully to your game. It's not difficult, but like many other things in life, it takes a lot of practice.
Steps
Step 1. You need to understand that just because it's a video game doesn't mean you don't need to practice to become an expert
As with any other type of game, it is important to practice a lot; however, less physical effort will likely be required.
Step 2. Choose your game
Pick a game you won't tire of easily; must always keep you interested. Remember that you will have to push yourself beyond the first few levels of the game, and it may take some time. Try to choose a game with online functionality, so you can improve yourself and brag about your achievements. Online games are more difficult than single player, so you may be able to become an even better player. Games like Call of Duty or Star Wars Battlefront 2 offer this possibility.
Step 3. Learn the controls
If you have chosen a computer game and use a mouse and keyboard, learn the keys you will need to use. You can usually find guidance on this in the game manual. If you have chosen a console game or if you use a joystick or controller, learn the various buttons.
Step 4. Conclude the single player campaign
If you can't finish the game in single player, chances are you won't last long in multiplayer.
Step 5. Start with the lowest level
Start the game at the beginner level. When it seems too simple, move on to the next level.
Step 6. Adapt your skills
Don't be upset if you don't get good results at first. Try to understand where you are wrong and correct your strategy. When you reach the last level, go back to the first and repeat the game so that you are sure you understand everything.
Step 7. Watch videos of experienced players and try to imitate them
If you can find some of these videos, you could save yourself a lot of time. These players may have taken years to hone their techniques, but you can learn everything very quickly just by trying to imitate them. Try repeating their actions until they become natural.
Step 8. Repeat the same level 20 or 30 times, possibly in a row
This is how skills are honed. Each time you repeat a level you will become better, not only in that level but also as a player in general. If you don't think you can repeat the same level 20 times, try to repeat it as many times as you can, even just 5 may already help you.
Step 9. Show off your skills
Impress your friends by playing against them. If you are under 18 and have chosen an adult game, be prepared to become the other players' favorite target, because you couldn't play.
Step 10. Don't use racially motivated insults, you could seriously offend someone
Step 11. Being too loyal to a particular company or game series (such as EA Sports) is not a good habit
Try to form your own opinions on individual games, and don't rely solely on trust in those who produce them.
Step 12. Find a game that helps develop your "playing senses"
Some of these senses include:
- Reflection skills.
- Spatial computing in platform games.
- Self control.
- Knowledge of games.
- Coordination.
- Respect for oneself and others when playing online.
Step 13. Take a break
The last thing you need is to become obsessed with the game. Also, playing for too long may lead to you becoming less skilled.
Step 14. Immerse yourself in history
Try to understand the story before playing. This way you can already get an idea of the game itself.
Step 15. Try to understand what is happening
Find out what to do in the game. Many games show you at first what the objectives are to be achieved.
Step 16. Find out about the levels before playing
Search the Internet for guides or videos that can help you understand a level before you even play it; in this way you will be more prepared and you will be able to have better performances.
Advice
- To reduce the risk of heart attacks, don't get too excited if you lose.
- If your game gives you the option to play online, go for it. This is a good way to get better quickly, as most online players are already experienced.
- You always have to have fun!
- Never sit still.
- If you fail to pass a level, don't be upset and remember that this is just a game - you can always repeat the level at another time.
- It takes some time to learn how to calculate space in platform games. You usually need to measure how high and how long you can jump.
- Self-control means, for example, knowing how to control your character on the edge of a ravine. It might also mean controlling your own language, but in this case it's about character control.
- A good game to improve your reflexes might be the Mario and Luigi RPG game, but this is only a suggestion.
Warnings
- Exploiting glitches is dangerous if you are not aware of the risks, especially if you plan to insert lines of code or interfere with the game programmatically. However, shortcuts and codes are entered by the developers themselves, so use them whenever you want.
- These steps don't work with RPGs as the game progresses as you progress.
- Never use tricks in an MMORPG or an online game. For example regarding RuneScape, JaGex has said many times that there is no built-in code in the game!
- Never play for too long. Remember to always take a few breaks to do something else.
- Energy drinks may help you stay focused for longer, but remember that you will feel very tired once the effect is over.
