Stolen from myself 6 months ago at lemmyverse.link/lemmy.zip/post/35616522
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.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I used a mod to allow unlimited saving. I will do the same for the second game if I ever find time to play it.
Saving is something so many games seem to leave to idk, random dart boards sometimes. Single save slots? Limited time to save? Only saves at specific in game actions??
No nooo. Give me save when I want so I can go deal with my gremlin cat and chores, thanks!
I wish i could forget KCD2 just so i could play it again fresh. I have 1000 hours in it and i still play it all the time. Such a great game.
The Witcher 3 is just an RPG minigame you can play between rounds of Gwent.
No it isn’t! ヽ( `д´*)ノ
Jk, I suck at Gwent
Woman: My child! Please save my child!
Geralt: Care for a game of Gwent?
Woman: nod
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is just a horse riding simulator in between games of Farkle. A beautiful deadly simulator.
Didn’t knights of the old republic have farkle in too? It’s a good game, and I guess just unfamiliar enough to bolt into a fantasy setting.
Speaking of Hitman, my buddy said Hitman has a club level that is somewhat popular as a place to chill
Any game that has a fishing mechanic will be used as a fishing game.
Ah yes, finally a break from this incessant combat to catch a weird fish.
(Speaking of Hades)
Even if you don’t want it to to be…
Currently got my Sonic Adventure playthrough on pause because I can’t for the life of me catch that stupid frog in Big’s fishing mini game!
Big has the most optional upgrades of any character in it. Try going back to his hut in the forest and picking up his bed for a better lure. There are more hidden around. I wouldn’t feel bad using a guide, as there’s not really any clues pointing to them like other character’s upgrades.
This. So much this.
For me, the peak fishing game was Final Fantasy XV :D
Helps that it has some of the most absurdly hype fishing music ever. Sounds like a boss battle.

Going back a while - Monster Truck Madness 2 was a great game of exploration if you just drove off in a random direction rather than doing that silly racing stuff :-)
The maps were big, and there was no time limit, so you could just go and do your own thing … a favourite made-up mini-game was sliding around a frozen lake on the winter map.

Have you played Mario kart world?
SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
I haven’t, can’t say I’ve ever heard of it!
(I’ve got Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU, that’s about it!)

Yes. I did this with Monster Truck Madness and still remember the opening announcer guy.
I also did this with Big Red Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, and Rallisport Challenge.

Carmageddon was really good for it, too.
In modern gaming I’ve clocked up about 400 hours on Snowrunner, half of the game is intentionally exploring with trucks (albeit a lot slower, lol)

Also did this with the first Monster Truck Madness and Big Red Racing. And Motocross Madness. Seems these games were just built for that. Only had demo versions though, so just the one stage to explore.
