StaceyPowers Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 @killamch89 and @Razor1911 mentioned in another thread moving around while playing fighting or driving games (i.e. leaning while driving) as an immersive thing. Made me curious. How many people here tend to do this versus sit completely still while gaming? Family sedan and Withywarlock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. 😆 As I mentioned, it happens when I play racing games, I really get too involved in it. It will Interesting to see what others has to say. 😆 Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 When I'm in a racing game, depending on how into it I am, I tend to lean left and right whilst steering. When jumping in a platform game, I tend to sit upright or lean forward. Whilst agonising over a real-time with pause (RTwP) game, I tend to hunch forward to inspect every single facet of my characters to see what can be tweaked to wrench the odds into my favour. Science* shows that doing this actually improves in-game performance**. *Not actually science. **Does not actually improve in-game performance.

ZandraJoi Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 When I do play, which isn't as often anymore, I do sit still for the most part but I am also one of those 'leaners' lol It's like we are willing it to go faster when we use our whole body! I tend to be a leaner for TV shows as well. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Even as a console gamer, I tend to just sit still when I'm gaming. I don't think moving around would help much for the games that I play. There are times where I will move closer to the TV but that's only with FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 It's a tendency I developed since I started gaming as a a kid and I do tend to move around when I'm playing things like fighting, racing or horror games. Sports/simulation type games don't tend to get that kind of reaction out of me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 With wireless pad controllers, I have been afforded a little freedom not to be ass glued to my seat when gaming. At least, I can get up and more a bit unlike when it was strictly wired controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sometimes when shooting a three while playing basketball games, I'll lean the direction the ball is going, willing the shot to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some gaming moments when there is no way I would be able to sit down and play because of the pressure that I'm being put through 😂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
