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.

Lore and writing wise? You're completely right, I'd think the characters would be expected to go in Tartarus on a regular basis, progressing from miniboss to miniboss I guess.

Gameplay wise? We're kinda pushed doing it at once very quickly to get some money, and more importantly, to free up some time for social activities. So to optimize a bit the flow, I do the same : go to the end in one day, then go back towards the end of the month for the quests, finding missing people, etc
