11 Mistakes to Avoid When Playing Video Games

1- Not knowing the controls:

There are many video games out there, and while they may all have the same basic controls (hold left button for movement; press A to jump), each game is different. What this means is that you must know what buttons do before you can get serious about playing! To avoid this mistake, make sure you read the game’s controls before starting.

2- Improperly choosing a character:

What type of video games do you enjoy? Do you like playing solo or with friends? What about consoles or mobile devices? These are all essential queries to ask yourself as they will help determine which character is best suited for your needs and wants. For example, if you prefer playing alone, then maybe picking an agile class would be wise; if multiplayer is more your thing, then going for one that has more stability may suit you better! Ideally, go ahead and play through a few sessions (maybe even in different modes) so you can get a feel for what suits your style of gameplay best.

3- Not playing games:

What type of gamer are you? There are a lot of different types of gamers out there. Some like to play serious, competitive multiplayer games; others like single-player RPGs or survival horror games. Whatever your favourite game is and whatever kind of gamer you prefer to be, it’s important that you’re not only enjoying the gameplay but also understanding what makes this style so great!

4- Not using spoofers:

What is a spoofer? It is an online service that allows you to change your location to get the IP address of another country so you can access content from said country. What’s great about them is by changing your IP, you bypass region restrictions and are able to watch videos or play video games that would otherwise be unavailable in your area. Besides, you can also use the spoofer to unban your game account if it has been banned.

It’s important to note that spoofers are not illegal, as they only change your IP address and do nothing more than fool the system into thinking you’re in another country with a more lenient policy on video game content.

5- Not saving often enough:

It’s easy to forget when we’re in the middle of an intense session or trying to beat our high score. This could lead us down one path, only for something else to go wrong because we didn’t save at a checkpoint- which means having to start over from scratch! The best thing gamers should do is make sure they always save their progress so if anything does happen, it won’t be too big of a hassle.

6- Lack of exploration:

Whether you’re playing a game with an open world or one that has linear pathways, it’s important to explore and not just stick to the path. What if we missed something awesome because we always followed the same route? What if there was actually some sort of secret passage around? Who knows! We won’t unless we check out every nook and cranny for ourselves.

7- Refusal to use cheats:

This is totally up to personal preference but at least know what they are before dismissing them as cheating. Some people like using them in order to get through tough parts, while others think it takes all the fun out of the gameplay- which means more work on their end… It’s worth experimenting with different approaches to see how best fits your needs.

8- Ignoring side quests:

What’s the point of playing a video game if you’re not going to complete it? Side quests are one of many reasons why some games can last for 100+ hours. What do side quests offer that main missions don’t? Variety, character development and experience points!

9- Boosting your stats:

What’s wrong with boosting? Nothing, as long as it doesn’t compromise the integrity of a game. The only problem is that many players who boost tend to pay other people real money to do so – and this can get expensive. Luckily, there are some sites like boostroyal which provide boosting at a super low price.

This might not be an issue for those gamers who enjoy their favorite hobby above all else, but if you’re looking to save some cash (or just have fun), then go ahead!

10- Skipping tutorials:

Unless you’ve never played an RPG before in your life, there is no reason to skip tutorials when starting out with any new video game. Hell, even then, I still recommend you at least skim through them unless they’re about battles or levelling up skills – those ones should be avoided. And trust me on this one; skipping instructions may seem like a good idea, but in reality, it’ll only lead to frustration as you get stuck later on without understanding what you’re supposed to do.

11- Pacing:

What is pacing? You might be tempted to go for the gold and complete as many quests as possible at once, but that’s not always a great idea. In fact, it can lead to confusion if any of the tasks are intertwined with others or frustration because one quest requires items from another quest to proceed. What should players do instead, then? Try taking your time! Slow down when you feel bored before going on an all-out rampage – it’ll help avoid these problems altogether.

Conclusion:

No matter what you’re playing, it’s easy to get caught up in bad habits that will just make your game worse. But with this guide, you can avoid those mistakes and get the most out of your gaming experience.
