PG 76 "AND HAVING ACCEPTED THAT SIMULATORS ARE EFFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTS FOR TRAINING, WE MUST ACCEPT THAT SO TOO ARE THE DESKTOP SHOOTERS GAMES. THE QUESTION IS: WHAT EXACTLY IS THE USER BEING TRAINED TO DO?
I THINK THE RIGHT ANSWER FROM MY PERSPECTIVE GOES AS FOLLOWS: ANY VIDEO PLAYER HAS A "GOAL" OF BEING MORE EFFICIENT WHILE PLAYING. I THINK THE "TYPE" OF GAME BECOMES A SECONDARY ISSUE HERE TO THE PLAYER. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NARRATIVE OF THE GAME FLOATS AROUND THE PLAYER'S EFFICIENCY IN THE GAME.

Raf, you can quit sceaming. We can all hear you.
Anyway, I really like the idea of this. Are first person shooters teaching shooting or more are they teaching the overarching ideas of problem solving and effiecency?
I think the moment you are holding a gun, same weight as a real gun with a kick of some sort. Then the simulation becomes real. However with just a controller there is still the notion it is not real.
