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.

Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? (lemmy.zip)

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've never finished FF7 because there is a snowboarding mini game that gave me SSX vibes so good I put like 15 hours into it and then stopped playing FF7. No idea what happens in the story but man that Bits and Chitz style mega arcade was fun.

I almost forgot about the storyline for FFX because I played so much blitzball.

Basically the rest of the game is all about the snowboarding game. One character does so bad at it she actually gets stabbed by another and tossed in a lake. Anyway snowboard kids for the n64 is good too
