I do learn a lot too when I was a kid but for me it's kinda hard and I can't focus which lead for me to have low grades on some subjects. I don't even know why, but playing games as a kid is like enjoying and making myself happy at that time, like I don't care or understand any of it at that time. I just love and enjoy playing the games.

The same for me. Playing video games helped me a lot when I was a kid. It improved my reading comprehension skills, decision making skill, writting skill, etc. Playing games tend to somewhat help us all with our learning, as most of them require critical thinking in order to solve puzzles, catch up with the story line, or to make the right in-game decision.

That's very true, because when playing games, we engage our mind to several situations and the game makes us to think for solutions in the game problems, methods to deal with the game, imagine the possible outcome for some sort of event in a game, communicate to others (multiplayer mode) and many other knowledge that can help us grow.
I'm glad that there are people like me who learn something from playing video games.

Video games or any form game in general when done too much could take it toll in one form or another. I think if you'd look at it in a plot or story form of view, some games gives out a moral lesson.

Yes of course, I really learned from playing games because my brain is also learning while doing that particular activity. Playing video games makes us always readily alert on some things that might gonna happen in our surroundings.

The best part of playing video games is that they have helped me to monitor the motor movements of my body. Moreover, they have helped a lot in synchronization of of brain and hand movements. In addition to it they have improved my skills like time management, stress handling and planning strategies.

Playing video games is fun. Though on other people it is a waste of time there are some good effect on people too. Playing video games will get you on your emotions which is a way to show how a certain person will react on a situation. When I am playing video games, I usually too focus if I get it started, and from there my comprehension skill, reading and decision making skill will come out for the interest to win on the game. Disadvantage of it is I got too focus on games to the point that my time on my responsibilities will be sacrificed. It is addicting.

Yes I learn so many things from playing games, firstly the type of game I play have effect on my outward personality, and how I strive to get things done.

When you play games like final fantasy you learn much about surviving same with call of duty, when I play racing games it improves my knowledge on cars, every game you play should always add a life saving/teaching values to your life.

Definitely we larn alot from playing video games. Through playing them we can learn how toescape enemies and to be more careful in life.

 

[overcast]

I don't know if there is much wisdom into the games. Most of the survival games and the fantasy games I played had nothing do with the gaming. And that shows you how the video gaming world is going to be. So it's not always that we find some really good messages out of it. I personally didn't find much in it.

I've learned a lot playing video games because we end up being transported to alternative realities and we learn about those. Sure, some realities are pure fiction, but others are rather real, and we always learn. After all, we spend hours there playing.

 

[junrose123]

Playing video games helps us to stimulate and exercise our brain, to be able to be alert and responsive to anything around us. Playing video games really helps me understand the different scenario that might happen in the future. I learned how to respond in real situations wherein we are invaded of certain aliens or other monster that might destruct us.And most of all I feel reax and motivated to do things that I wanna do after playing games.

It helps me how to read instructions well. I dont read much, but when you play games you must read and understand the instructions of your quests for you to finish it.

I think these games can be good for your creativity,and make you a better problem solver as well. Also most of all, when I am gaming, it helps with my anxiety, and is good for your frustration as well. I have heard lately, that these games are being used to treat medical and mental health conditions as well. Also the interactive play on these games is wonderful for the brain overall.

Yeah. And some of what we watch there we apply them in the real life.

That is very tru. Most games offer good remedy for many psychological disorders, including stress. As compared to those who do not play the games, those who are serious game players often report very minimal or no cases of psychological or mental issues.

No question, they definitely apply to real life. I think games are engaging not only because they are entertaining, but also because we learn from them. Guess what, they combine two things most people love, so that's why so many people play them.

I learned a lot in playing video games since sometimes they happens in our day to day life. I find them interesting and very informative in nature. It is a great way to have some new knowledge or ideas.
