I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they’d just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.


A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Cyberpunk 2077 is also good for this IMO. Sometimes I deliberately avoid fast traveling and just drive to my destination to take in the sights on the way.
I like to autopilot it so I have time to grab a beer/snack or go to the bathroom.
I’m not sure I’ve ever fast traveled in Cyberpunk or Spider-Man
The driving mechanics also just feel so satisfying. Superjumping off a bike in a slide and throwing a knife, slowmo, clean headshot. Cooler than I will ever feel IRL.
I haven’t really played V, but other GTA games I just treat like arcade games where I start by stealing some car and try to stay away from the cops and steal bigger/cooler shit for as long as I can without getting caught
Flying. In san andreas it was so cool, and then later in gtav I just boggled at how the old ‘fog’ trick wasn’t needed. Every time I got on, trying to steal the military jet was the first thing I’d do.
