Online VideoGames
-MMORPGs-MOBAs
-FPS
-Arcade Games
Ever since I was a little kid, I've been a fan of videogames, I didnt have a computer for myself until I was like 10 years old.
Normal offline videogames include these 4 subtopics I mentioned, but online gaming makes them completely diffetent and unique.
-First of all, RPGs and MMORPGS (Role-playing games, Massive multiplayer Role-playing games) make you assume the roles of characters which the player develops depending on your preferences.
The most common ''classes'' in RPGs are Warrior, Archer, Mage and Rogue, each one with their own unique abilities.
Normal RPGs emphasize in storytelling, while MMORPGs focus on player interactions with other people playing the same game.
-MOBAs (Multiplayer online battle arena) are almost exclusvely for online playing.
They are real time strategy games in which players fight against each other separated by teams.
This genre is very popular nowdays, with games like League of Legends and DOTA.
MOBAs tend to have RPG elements, like leveling, or fictional worlds with wizards, warriors and such.
-FPS (First Person Shooter) have been an important genre for gaming since forever.
You take the place of a person in the game, and supposedly watch through their eyes, shooting hordes of whatever the game is about.
Offline FPS emphasize in stories (campaigns) that tell the story through the eyes of the character.
Online FPS tend to have a Ladder Ranking System. Players fight each other , climbing this ladder, gaining points.
-Arcade games, the most common games, we all know them, fast-paced games that started on coin machines, games like Pac-man, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat.
They've evolved, appeaing in hand held consoles, tv consoles, theyre everywhere.
Online gaming lets us play these games against or with friends, making it way more exciting.
I'm sure there are many more online games to come, we just have to wait.
