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.
In Super Sprint arcade, on the track below, once I get enough lead up on the 3rd or 4th lap, I would enter the red arrow 360 loop and then just keep spinning the steering-wheel left. This makes the car do 2-3 donuts around the loop, until going out of control backwards to explode into the barrier.
Always worth it.
I wanted to play a Mass Effect game, but I suck at cover-shooters. So I put it on easy and ran around punching my way through the game.
Beamng drive.
I don't actually know the point of this game but it's awesome.
Money generated from Community Chest/Chance goes to Free Parking and players can buy Jail.
I’ve never heard of buying jail, but near the end of the game jail is the place to be.
I just remembered another one - the original Car and Driver game (way before Need for Speed 1) was a vector 3D affair that ran at full speed on a 386.
One of the courses was the San Dimas Mall parking lot - I worked out that I could use the "drop camera" command in one spot, and then it became a radio control car simulator since the 'dropped' camera followed the car being driven :-)
I like to look for secrets in Action Half-Life maps
Hollow Knight and Silk Song. I put an unlimited jump mod on. There's too much back and forth from getting lost or finding hidden area and im trash at anything platforming.
From GTA, Saints Row to Cyberpunk, I just prefer to walk.
In Fallout 4, I would toggle god mod and just focus on building settlements.
Back when i played Hearthstone (briefly) my friend and i woulf pass until the 10th turn and then try to one-shot eachother before the other is able to.
Probably all of them... I mostly play single player games, which I either mod, and/or edit memory/save games to skip grindy parts. I am there for the story, exploration and puzzles.
By the most different way I play, would be Beyond All Reason, where I mostly just spectate public matches, since I am pretty sure I would be stomped, and to get good at it, might be out of my abilities. But watching is fun.
I really like Dark Souls/Elden Ring multiplayer PvP. I especially like Dark Souls 3 and it's still pretty active, at least on PC! Hosts can choose to be invaded by intentionally using an ember and the dried finger and even try to "gank" the invader by teaming up with other players to fight them with a massive advantage. It's fun to invade these worlds and have a duel, or try to overcome a gank. I got pretty decent at fighting, spacing, parrying, weapon-swapping during animations for massive critical damage, etc.
But the game will also ember you after beating bosses, opening you up to invasions even if you didn't want that. And invading is such an aggressive act that I don't find it fun to hunt down and kill someone who doesn't even want to PvP. So when I encounter someone who very obviously doesn't want to fight me (and I can't entice them to attack), I'll just follow them around in underwear or a crazy outfit, staying out of the way and gesturing and yelling by using the carvings at all the PvE enemies they kill. You can also drop items for other players. It's a silly, time-wasting thing to run around until the host dies or goes to fight a boss and you get kicked out of their world...
I don't play it any more, but the only thing I did for most of my time playing The Sims was cheat in money and design baller houses. Couldn't have given less of a shit about the Sims themselves.
Oh man this made me dust off an old memory
There was a PS2 game my dad had called Dirt to Daytona. It's a racing game where you're supposed to play the career mode going from driving dirt track beaters to modifieds, trucks and finally becoming a pro nascar racer. You can tweak the cars, paint them, and try to get sponsors to fund you before your money dries up.
It was a cool game, but all I did was play the quick race mode. I would turn off all the caution flags and played it as a crash and pit manuver simulator lol
I beat X-COM: Enemy Unknown by sniping the final boss in the first turn with an 8% headshot through a door. In the process, I skipped what I discovered later was a room full of aliens you were supposed to fight before taking out that enemy.
I play most MMOs as Auction House PvP.
