Depth perception wonky, gets better

Dear anons,
Today my boyfriend (who is generally a PC gamer) bought a PS3. He bought himself all three God of War games, and bought me Little Big Planet. I'm excited, and want to be able to play games with him. He's currently having a nap, so I decided I'd try my game.
Long story short, I've figured out that my depth perception for 3D vidya is really, REALLY bad. It was frustrating, I couldn't figure out where on the game plane I was, in front of things, behind them, etc. It made playing really not fun at all, despite the game being the cutest goddamn thing I've ever seen.
tl;dr are there any tricks or tips for mastering in-game depth perception?




practice.
What were you expecting?

Just keep playing.
But girls generally have inferior space perception/visualisation than men.
You'll get the hang of it eventually.

stop being a cross eyed sasquatch.

If you're a woman, get the f**k off his PS3 you wh**re, you'll only screw it up.
If you're a f**, shove yer dick in the power socket

practice.
What were you expecting?

I don't know man, I stopped playing vidya after Nintendo 64, this goddamn actual 3D sh*t is messing with me.

Just keep playing.

OP never said s/h was female
could be a f**
but i'm guessing its a vagina since i can't think of a single male who would have problems imagining and plotting and navigating a XYZ plane

here is a little training exercise. Find two points of focus; something near and some thing far.your computer monitor and a dot on the wall for instance. without moving your eye or head, switch focus from the background to the foreground repeatedly

If you're a woman, get the f**k off his PS3 you wh**re, you'll only screw it up.
If you're a f**, shove yer dick in the power socket

HIS PS3 is connected to MY television in OUR room. Get the hell off of my internet.

How about you keep f**king playing. The more you use a neural pathway the stronger it gets. Just keep at it OP. thats all i can say.

That game is a little twirly and has a wierd camera all the time, just keep playing and you'll get used to it. Also, tits please?

What kind of dude would buy another dude LBP after buying himself God of War? That's just insulting. I'm a lady.

Now, I'm just as much of a misogynist as the next guy on this board, but... real-world studies haven proven time and time again that the difference between males and females in hand/eye coordination and depth/spatial perception are entirely experience-based. So if a girl spends as much time playing vidya as a guy she will be as good at spatial perception as the guy.

so our assumption was correct, and you are wimminfolk.
simply put, there is nothing you can do. your inferior female brain did not evolve for complex tasks like this.

oh thats why
talk
and you get better at talking
thus, you never shut the f**k up

women don't even KNOW what god of war is, f**k off

a bear buying a game for a twink? f**k if I know, the minds of fa**ots are alien to me.

Actually I really am looking for tips on mastering this console sh*t, and decided this would be a kinder place than /v/ to ask a stupid question.

i suggest playing god of war. ur bf will be impressed.
little big planet is mindless and confusing

But it's so goddamn CUTE. F**k.

Enjoy pressing X ~10million times

He thinks the joy of playing a game is watching what buttons you press.

F**k, Little Big Planet is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I had similar problems with it, OP, but I was attributing it to the fact that I rarely play consoles and I've gotten so used to the mouse/keyboard combo for everything. I didn't play for too long, so I can't really say if it got better or not, but I would assume that practice would help.
My boyfriend is letting me borrow his PSP for a trip I'm taking, and he put Little Big Planet on it for me =3 Never have I been so excited to sit in a car for hours on end, since the person driving won't let anyone else drive her car.

>>>He thinks the joy of games is the same tired worn out plot thrown into three games with the same gameplay and trying to make it good this time with giant bossfights for no f**king reason

Little Big Planet was new and innovative, nothing like it before.
God of War is the same button mashing hack and slash that's been done literally thousands of times before, with a plot so dumb it might as well be porn.
Your excuse for the sh*t games you like is because there's just nothing better to do?

My point still stands man, no new games will come out, that will be unique, everybody will always find flaws in everything, no point in arguing about it.
God of War is a good game in my opinion, while the control might be simple I don't find anything else wrong, except for the out-drawn story, but they gotta make money somehow.
You don't like it, don't buy it, the people who like it will.

Little Big Planet was new. You agreed with that. But there is nothing new coming out? My mind is f**king blown

OP here. This thread still exists?
Boyfriend is now mashing and screaming, a lot of "how the hell do all those fat fa**ots manage this much constant finger excercise?" and whatnot. Lots of button mashing.
And, I played more Little Big World, and the depth thing is coming to me pretty quickly now. Goddamn it's a rad game, some of it is actually kinda difficult.

Yes pick on one detail, such a /v/irgin thing to do, no wonder no one can have a proper discussion on /v/.

I've been to /v/ maybe three times
It just pisses me off that you fa**ots flock to sh*t like God of War and Dante's Inferno because SH*TS SO BROOTAL when the game producer can't make a game worth sh*t but still churns it out because they know you dumbasses will suck it up

I don't flock to it, why must you assume that everyone is like you think they are??
I'm saying why have a problem with things that other people enjoy, if they like it then so be it, you don't havto give a sh*t.

DONT LET HIM FIND OUT
HES PROB A HUGE F**KING TOOL ANYWAY
BUT IF YOU WOULD DO THAT AROUND HERE ID KICK YOU THE F**K OUT FOR HAVING BAD GENES
BITCHES AND WH**RES

Game makers purposely making the same tired line of game is sh*tting up adviceances in games almost the same way airlines are keeping back air travel adviceances to make more money

you wanna play some coop mode? i herd the stories liek real good.

Yes, but people will still buy those sh*tty games, and there is nothing you can do but rage, I would rather not give a sh*t than be pissed at something that isn't going to change.

>women
>no spatial perception
xD

Wait, but I thought PS3 has no games?!

>"how the hell do all those fat fa**ots manage this much constant finger excercise?"
If you weren't sure it was a troll yet, this should have confirmed it.

OP here. Still not a troll. Boyfriend is sitting beside me, raging at God of War.

you should all watch this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7VAhzPcZ-s
if you fully agree, you are a gamer
if not, gtfo and stop raping games by buying them
do you really need a back story to play donkey kong?
if you like the story line, go read a book
if you like cut scenes, why dont you go rent a movie!
tldr: gamers play games for gameplay, if the process of gaming isn't fun then you aren't a gamer (this includes the challenge of getting better skill, like OP refers to)
so my point is, F**K OFF AND LEARN TO PLAY, that is what games are for, not to hit up some f**king walkthrough guide or ask questions about how to solve a puzzle
yes I MAD!!!

Well as I skim trough your post you seem like an arrogant kid who can't hold an argument, and will not accept anyones opinion.
Your posts are just rants, and how the world should change to your liking.
