I don’t play many games, but when I get a free game I play it for all its worth. Last week the army recruiter gave me a free copy of America's Army. I have been playing it online and I have started to notice patterns.
For example, if some gamer is doing something that works, said gamer will continue to do it even if it stops working. In fact the average number of times a gamer will repeat the action when it fails is three times.
Whenever a round starts all the gamers attempt to "do their own thing", but as there are a limited number of objectives many gamers do the same thing as everyone else.
I have played on a team and round after round after round and watched different gamers do the same exact thing. It got so bad that once I threw down my gun, ran strait to the objective, and secured it without even being shot once. Then for the next two rounds I did the same thing, and on the third round somebody actually killed me.
Its weird, its like the gamer's mind works in a series of three. Has anybody else noticed this trend?
Or do I just sound crazier than usual?
