Online Gaming Benefits

Online gaming is a trend because many people are playing online since the current period
is in advanced technologies, which exposes people to online where they can play any games
suitable to their age. The common thinking about online gaming is only about fun or
entertainment that gives vibes to people. But how about online games matter and benefit people?
Online games benefit people which develop patience, social interaction, enhance quick decision-
making and leadership skills.

Playing online games develops a character, and that is patience. Playing games online
helps me be patient and be more determined to accomplish the mission in a particular game that I
play, "murder mystery," because that game uses logic to solve cases. I realized that the game is
not easy to solve and takes more hours to solve. I believe that character matters in playing games
because we can apply it when using our skills and interacting with other players online, which
helps to improve ourselves. Another game I play is "LifeAfter" I have a tough time
understanding survival tasks, so I explore to finish survival tasks. As I observe, having a good
character, many people will interact because I interact with this stranger in multiplayer. That
person is so patient, so I am interested in playing with that player again. Thus, patience helps us
be eager to accomplish missions in that game and improves our logic. It brings effective
communication with other players.

Interaction with other people in terms of playing online helps to improve skills. When
socializing with others, we can gain knowledge from them because of the information gathered
when talking to other people. My math teacher gave an activity which was an icebreaker online,
all I had to do was choose the best answer, and when I got the wrong answer, he explained the
correct and discussed why it was the wrong answer. As he explains it patiently, I understand it,
and the knowledge that I have learned from him is I can apply it if there is another icebreaker
related to his subject, so I know what to answer. It gives me an idea of what strategy I must do. I
realized good character could make the conversation better as well as skills. Interacting with
others in online games helps build relationships, intimacy, bonding, and having a deep discussion
on games and their personals. I observed that these two players met in online games until they
spent hours talking, which led to deep conversation; after that, whenever they had problems with
their families, they ranted to each other and treated it as their comfort zone. Consequently,
interaction through online games makes people bond; intimacy builds relationships and enhances
skills.

Online games help to enhance skills in quick decision-making and leadership. In rules of
survival, I always choose multiplayer because I am dependent on their instruction to defend
ourselves when the opponents come and when my squad is dead, and I am the only one left. I
must think fast to make my strategy to survive my opponents and win our group. Playing with
other groups, I apply what I have learned from other players, so I instruct them to do these tasks
to remain alive, and it feels like it is real-life that helps me boost my confidence to guide other
players. Furthermore, online games improve strategies in quick decision-making and leadership
skills that apply in real life.

Therefore, we can apply for these benefits in our daily lives, not only in online games.
Looking deeper into what online games can do to people, it affects our lives and allows us to do
better in many ways.
