>COD, killzone, and borderlands

well no shit they didn't need any spacial awareness for the singleplayer of those games, especially compared to a fucking platformer

make them play 90 hours of 90s shooting games and lets see what happens

Those shooters don't really require much thinking or skill. They should have tested it with shooters that require skill and actual thinking.

The Virtual Boy came out in 1995. Why are journalists always the ones who know less about the subject?

Borderlands 2 harms my brain just thinking about it

All of those games would be boring as fuck to play for 90 hours.

>shitty games that don't require bain power make you dumb

This is the study that all these articles are going on about.

Well considering those modern shooters are mostly composed of "stop, aim and shoot, repeat" of course it would focus on unconscious leaning part of the brain, it takes very little focus, while a 3d platformer is all about spatial awareness, so again, no surprise. So it seems like this isnt much of breaking news to people who play vidya as much as it is a surpise to people who dont play vidya that different types of games stimulate a person in different ways.

They should study gamers playing some RTS 4x games, that'll show you some fucking grey matter.

It's breaking news to people who write click bait and can write articles with titles such as "shooters linked to Alzheimer's" "these games degrade your brain" "are video games bad for you? This study will shock you!"
