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.

The only thing with Rust is you need to pay for your own server on top of paying for the game. I want to play it, I want to try it because I like survival crafting games; but I’ve also seen and heard all the horror stories about Rust players, so I really wouldn’t want to just jump into any server
Many computers have enough spare compute power to run the server in addition to the game all on the same system.
I know I’m coming from a position of privilege because I was playing it on a 5950X with 64 gigs of RAM and a 3090, but even so, like it barely even broke a sweat.
Many games that have multiplayer and singleplayer options run singleplayer by hosting a server and then joining it.
And then you’ve got the new Battlefield 6 which requires you to wait your turn to connect to their remote server so you can pay the Singleplayer campaign.
