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 was a CS player first and a Quake player second. VQ3 movement never really hit me the same because of my CS background, but CPMA movement got me into defrag.

There is also a game called MomentumMod. Free on steam and it has all those quake and source engine movement minigames.

Rocket jump, bhop, defraq, surf and others. It has lobbies to play with other people and keeps leaderboards. Highly recommend checking it out when you next want to play any of these gamemodes.

Booting up the old defraq mod has its nostalgia tho, with the rabbit and all 😄

I hadn't heard of Momentum. First video I load up has Apex's "Just One Second" for the background music and now I'm gonna end up on a Hospital Records binge. It looks really cool. I can't find any videos on how they handle tricksurf (maybe not implemented yet?) but I like seeing that they have intentions to support it. I just need to finally build that new gaming rig I keep putting off.

Yeah I checked the discord and they plan on supporting it but it is as the devs put it "very low priority right now so will be a while before its added".

This is definately one of those projects I hope will bring the community together and preserve and group up people playing these more niche game modes.

But im sure there will always be the HC players that say if a record is not surfed on KSF servers in source its not considered a record.

But im not a wr player anyway so im cool with that. And the good players seem to dominate the momentum leaderboards all the same so they are definately playing momentum as well.
