Stolen from myself 6 months ago at https://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.

I remember doing the warthog jump an awful lot in Halo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGQIQljaAc0

Persona 3 FES, rush each block of Tartarus, then hyperfocus on the social sim side of the game for the next in-game month. Rinse and repeat.

Final Fantasy XII, go out of my way to powerlevel, but then mix up multiple powerleveling methods in one. Also spending an excessive amount of time reading the in-game lore and accidentally triggering the eternal delay glitch in the game by trying an unrelated cheese against a superboss.

Any ImmSim games, where I basically try to pull of moves and finish the game with the most unlikely approach for combat.

Also, open world racing games like Carx Street. I just drive around with wheel and VR and drift for fun. I have 200 hours and barely finished the forced tutorial lol
