There are certain actions that are definitely, and uniquely, tied to every gamer, and one of the most common desires is to collect items, regardless of whether they are from a game called “let’s just pick it up.” This can be seen as a form of occupational sickness that only those who play many different games can understand. However, if you lack the quirky actions in this realm, the experience may become quite tedious. Below, we will list 10 things that gamers always have to “pick up” in the video game world:
1. Collecting Every Item and Material
Why do game developers, like Bethesda, put so much effort into designing detailed 3D models for useless items in “Fallout 4”? It’s because they want us to collect them and cram them into our limited inventories. Even though these items may be completely useless and have no narrative value, we still love to stuff our bags with them. More importantly, the thrill of seeing these items in the virtual world and not being able to physically touch them makes the experience all the more intriguing.
2. Killing the Opponent
It’s not that we hate anything, but we still have to kill the opponent a few times before we get to know them, even if we’re both playing together. Whether it’s in an FPS or MMORPG game, every gamer wants to test their strength by eliminating their opponents. If luck is on your side and you manage to get the upper hand, you might even send a quick apology through the microphone, though the cheeky laughter that follows is definitely intended.
3. Loading Screens
It’s likely that many people have already become accustomed to this phenomenon, and all gamers are aware that this is a common occurrence. However, the anticipation and thrill of knowing that something explosive is about to happen keeps us engaged.
4. Changing Clothes in RPGs
RPGs are known for providing the most freedom in the gaming world, and this is one of the reasons people enjoy role-playing. The ability to change outfits, customizing our characters’ appearances in the game enhances immersion, allowing us to feel more connected to our avatars.
5. Driving Seriously in Open World Games
This is slightly contrary to the previous point, as we tend to drive in a “normal” manner while adhering to traffic rules in open-world games like “GTA V,” where players can freely explore the world. However, there’s a certain thrill that comes when we feel too unrestricted, leading us to want to be constrained within boundaries. Driving cautiously and obeying traffic signals while playing in the virtual world is indeed a challenge.
6. “Tea-bagging” the Opponent
Many gamers have become quite familiar with the term “tea-bagging” in gaming, which refers to the act of crouching over the defeated opponent. This action is often performed in a playful manner, showcasing dominance over the fallen foe, particularly in competitive scenarios.
7. Jumping Off Tall Buildings
Why? Because we can. Because this is a video game, and the boundary of death can be redefined. We know that this is just an action simulated in the virtual world and poses no real danger outside of it (except for VR devices, which might still pose risks). Furthermore, the characters in the game can often die in unrealistic ways, which adds a certain satisfaction.
8. Shooting at Inanimate Objects
In terms of logic, shooting at inanimate objects can seem pointless, yet in gaming, where the normal logic is bent, the act of shooting at random objects can be immensely enjoyable, especially when the destruction mechanics come into play.
9. Rotating the Camera at Awkward Angles in Open World Games
In expansive and detailed open-world games like “The Witcher 3,” players cannot help but rotate the camera to view every angle and scenery surrounding them. This action enhances immersion, allowing players to appreciate the beautiful landscapes and intricate designs within the game.
10. Focusing on K/D Ratio
In reality, focusing on the kill/death (K/D) ratio may not be the best approach, and many multiplayer games today do not prioritize this concept anymore. Nowadays, games tend to focus more on teamwork and strategy, yet many players still cling to this metric due to the habit of associating their names with impressive stats.
