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.

Dont sleep on trucks! You can record a route you drive, and set it to repeat. They do need coal as fuel, but you can set up a truck station as a fueling station and have your trucks stop by on their route.

I usually recommends belts for short range, trucks for medium to long, and then trains are for crossing the map to other regions. Trains take some planning though. Its best to have two tracks running parallel with each going one direction only, or else you run into problems when you have more than one train.

All that said, you can finish the game with just belts. The first time I finished thr game I only went from the southern grass fields, east to the oil lake, and slightly north to the autumn looking area with aluminum.
