Are you tired of being kicked by your friends at games?You must first admit you have a problem.Not being able to provide a challenge can be embarrassing.Chances are it's not the amazing skill of your opponent, but your lack of technique that is costing you the game.If you learn how to earn your spot in the winners circle, you will be able to shame your friends.
Step 1: The basic idea behind a video game is the same.
You need to be able to see everything that is happening around you.The best way to maximize your view of the field of play is to have shifty eyes.You don't need to keep looking at your character; they will be there when you look back at them.Look around.People are trying to sneak up behind you or moving around to the side.
Step 2: You should learn the game.
You can learn all the power-ups, location of items, and how to do special moves in a few hours.It could be the difference between victory and defeat if you can do even one complicated move.
Step 3: You have to learn the rules.
There are many clearly stated, observable, or calculable rules that have a bearing on play.Weapon balance is an example of a good example.It takes 8 Battle Rifle shots to kill an opponent with full armor.The most important part of building a strategy in the middle of a game is the little nuances.
Step 4: You need to learn the game's system.
Pressing the wrong button can lead to defeat.
Step 5: Balance offense and defense is important.
You will be vulnerable if you only attack an opponent.Defending will prevent you from ever defeating anyone.Even though it might be fun to try to pull off that amazing winning move, sometimes it is better to hide or run away.
Step 6: Find your way.
Chances are that you and your friends don't like the same things.Find the one that works for you.You will be able to find a game that is perfect for you.
Step 7: Be difficult.
If the "expected" thing to do would be to run right in the front gate, then do the unexpected, try finding a side entrance or laying a trap, unless the surprise is expected, and then walk through the gate!
Step 8: Pick your targets.
The best players don't move at every opportunity.
Step 9: The numbers need to be crunched.
If you want to know how much damage you can do with each hit in a set amount of time, and how many hits can you get off safely, read on.When you want to get good with a game, you need to learn your damage per second.When you can "tank n' spank" your way to victory, it's different from playing more defensively when you're weak.
Step 10: Paying attention to damage efficiency is important.
Is that really strong attack that takes a few seconds to pull off?The single attack isn't the optimal way to play.Weaker but quicker attacks may not be flashy on their own, but they will be easier to chain together.When you have your enemies "Perma-stunned", the look on their face will be worth it.
Step 11: You should learn the mechanics.
It isn't all about learning what the mechanics are.You have to learn every single detail of the game.Have an attack that missed your opponent and it hit you?He might have learned that he has some invulnerability frames, or you might not know that the game you're playing is hit-scan rather than projectile based.Every game you play will be a different experience if you master these under the hood mechanics.
Step 12: Take breaks.
It's not possible to play a game for five hours straight and maintain a constant level of focus.It's a good idea to make a sandwich.A poem can be written.You don't have to look at a screen for at least a few minutes every hour.
Step 13: If you want to practice, handicap yourself.
Use your worst weapon to beat the hardest boss.When playing a game where you are part of a team, you should join the team that has the highest chance of winning.Eventually, your friends won't be much of a challenge.
Step 14: Don't camp or use unfair advantages.
It doesn't make you a good player if you just get in a tank and blast away.Friends are less likely to play when camping.
Step 15: Don't be afraid to ask for tips from your friends.
The majority of players are willing to share their strategies.Strategies can be read online.There is a lot of good advice on the free websites.
