Games' Genres

Hurray,after two tiring chapters of chasing and persuading Perry,I finally get to convince him to teach me!What?I'm not supposed to say something like that?Eh,why?Okay,let's forget about.After trying to bribe him,shockingly he refused my offers!Oh my God!!My heart surely started to stop by that moment but it doesn't end there!Perry decided to teach me but in condition,I will pay him.Aren't that just the same in the end? Whatever!The only things that matter is what come after this!

"So,despite saying that you want to become a gamer,don't you even care to learn at least a bit about gamer?"

"Hey,watch your mouth,kid.I know that gamer is someone who plays a game but which game?Basketball,Video games or Tennis?"

"Are you being serious here?Gamers only refer to people who play video games on various platform.And recently,being a gamers can make you enter some sort of sport called Electronic Sport or simply,you could called it E-Sport"

"Oh" His explanation might not be too detailed but it is easy to understand.

"E-Sport consist various types of games to be played by competitors but some of the popular genres for these competition are Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA in short,Action Battle,Shooting games and Sports like Soccer.All games those been compete are mostly using PVP system which real time battle so same as real sport,you need to have a strategy and counter by always ready for every plot twist that will happen on the field to prove everyone that you are the true gamer"

To be honest,I don't get all the things he said but I get to catch some.Still,after all those explanation,at least I can say that I'm more than ready to go through this guy teaching.

"Then,did you mind to explain all those genres to me?You don't need to explain everything to me but at least,give me a bit image of how some genres of games work"

"Nah,I refuse" instantly he answered without any doubt.

"What?Why?I thought you agree to teach me already?"

"Yeah but don't you realize what time it is already?"

"Oh,don't worry about that!I will stay here today,then!"

"Like heck I will allow that!Go back right now!You don't even have your parent permission to stay here in the first place,right?"

"Don't worry,I will have that handled.It's not like my parent were home though.They are having a business overseas and rarely home so it's a bit boring there.So,please let me stay here today.Tomorrow also a weekend so it's a perfect times for stay over"

"Are you being serious here?Fine,you can!"

"Okay,I will go home and get my belongings.Wait for me,okay" I hurriedly get out of his room and go back to my house.

"Even you if you don't come back,it's okay!Hah,what a drag...Look like my weekend will not be an easy one"

As I reach downstairs,I told his brother about my stay over.He's more than welcome when I said it.He offers me to bring me back home to get my belongings by car but I decline his offer.But as I said before,his stubbornness is not an easy one to defeat.Eventually,I accept his kindness.

"Hey,I just want to say thank you for friending my brother.It's totally sound weird but I actually grateful that he has a friend for once"

"Of course he need to be grateful,not everyone can be my friend after all"

"You surely a funny guy indeed"

"Eh,really?So,why did you thanks me?I know because friending him but why?Didn't he has other friends too?" when I said that,his face become a bit sour but his smile still on.I'm not sure but I think I touch on a sensitive subject.

"You didn't need to tell me if you don't want,Perry's brother"

"Don't worry,it's okay.Just please don't tell him I share it with you and you can call me Tiga.Doesn't need to be formal,bro"

"Okay,then Tiga"

"So,since he was born,he never have a father.Our mother always busy with her job and our ages are having a pretty big gap.Around 10 years if I'm not wrong.But despite that gaps between us,I always try my best to support him.Being a father figure,a brother figure and also a mother figure.I didn't try to insulting my own mother but she doesn't treat us the same when father gone.She start her job very early in the morning and went back home late at night.On Perry's early years,it was hard for him to even recognize his own mother.You know,I really want her to at least talk nicely with him but she always come up with many excuses" he start to get emotional.It doesn't seems like he want to stop here...

"That is enough,Tiga.My house is on that corner"

"Ah,sorry!I'm getting a bit emotional just now" Big bro,that wasn't "a bit emotional" I think but it's not like I don't understand why you be like that though,

"So,your house is in this corner...Oh,is it that HOUSE!!!Dude,how big is your house?Are you actually rich kid?"

"Hey,stop digging my personal information and yes,I'm kinda a rich kid but if you have some idea of kidnapping me and ask for a ransom,it is impossible because my skill in saving and protecting myself is even beyond a skilled soldier"

"Eh,hahaha,you're funny...right?"

"Maybe" these two brothers look like they're easy to be teased by people.Maybe their father is the same since their mother is the otherwise.

So,after finished packing everything for these two days,I locked my house and send a fax about my stay over at Perry's house.Then,when everything is done,we go back now.

"Hey,I'm back.Now teach me!"

"Okay,okay.So where we left of just now?" he said that while playing some sort of game.

"About those genres you mentioned"

"Oh,okay.So,first MOBA games.As the games said itself,it is a battle on an arena.The battle consist 2 teams and 5 players each.The game motive is to destroy the enemy base or tower.Which one does it it first,they win"

"Sound simple for me"

"Yeah,but it is easier to said than done.The game needs you to think fast and work in teammate.If you late even by a few seconds,the possibility of winning will drop really low.This kind of game is basically a direct meaning of thinks a few steps ahead than your enemy.The example of games for this genre is like the one I'm playing right now.This one is called BOTA II.This game has the most participants out of all due.For you to play this game on your current level might be too hard but don't worry,you will be better later"

"Okay,watching you play kinda giving me a better image of how it's work.Next?"

"Action Battle.The genre already explained itself.It is the battle kind of game.The game mostly consist two players fighting each other in a few rounds until one of them get knockout.Some of people say that this kind of games are easily rigged due to the ability of character sometimes doesn't work with others but that's where the fun come.You work hard to overcome what your preferably can't do to beat others"

"Hurm,was it like the game that you play besides me in the class?"

"Seems like you already get it.That game title is Snake Fighter Z.It is an anime that based on popular anime series.So,for the next genre,shooting games"

"Does that one need an explanation?I think I understand that what you need to is just shooting right?Like the one in theme park?"

"Not like that you idiot.Don't cut me when I'm talking?Where's your manner as a student?"

"Okay,I'm sorry...maybe"

"Forget about that.Shooting games are the same as the genre said,it is a game about shooting.The game mostly consist various amount of people but for most competition,it always having around 10 to 20 players in Solo mode and 40 to 50 in Team mode.When playing this game,you have two kind of Person Of View or in short POV,which is First Person and Third Person.This POV sometimes depends on games.Some have both,some have only one.The most popular games for this genre is Counter-Force.It is one of the game that I will be playing for this summer tournament"

"I think I get that"

"And lastly,for sport genre.I don't think I have much to explain here.There aren't much popular sports games that been play in competition but the popularity for this genre is still one of the highest.The most popular sport that always been adapted to a game is Soccer.I don't have much explanation here but you can say that almost everything is the same as real life,same goes to the rule.The game is play by only two people maximum with one person controlling one team.One of the game for this genre will be a competition on this summer tournament.The title is FIT 21.I think of trains you to enter this one because it isn't that hard to master but you must have a very skilled hand in controlling a controller"

"Sounds good to me.So did you have any more explanation?"

As I said that,he continue explaining everything about the genre of games and how to play it.His explanation is very short but understandable.I could see that I really make a right choice of having him to teach me.And so,my journey of becomes the world most popular gamers will be continued.
