I mostly play according to the intended game design. The only exceptions that come to mind at the moment are:

  • Open world games (GTA, Fallouts, Elder Scroll series etc) - I tend to act like a normal, civilian part of the world. I eat and drink, travel like a person rather than player (i.e. safely, without quick travel), avoid violence and do peaceful tasks when possible. I also go on trips and take screenshots of the scenery.
    Finally, if there’s an equipment system I limit myself to “reasonable” amount of baggage (both in terms of weight and volume).
  • Mirror’s Edge and Portal - the only games I learned to the point of speedrunning. I’m nowhere near the level of being able to compete with professionals (nor am I interested in that) but I can get through both pretty quickly and without issues.

This one is slightly less on target, but I’m really intrigued by a free demo I found this week called Exo Rally Championship. It’s a rally car game, but set in exotic little exoplanetary environments. The movement looks really interesting especially because you’re not just in a low-grav setting, you also have 360⁰ jets you can use to assist in steering or course-correction midair.

Some friends and I play multi-world randomizers together. Randomizers modify a game so that important items/unlocks are in different locations or are obtained in a different way. I usually play Ocarina of Time and a randomizer changes all the “treasure chest” items found throughout the world, so instead of finding the bow in the Forest Temple (where it should be in the game), it could be found behind a rock in a cave in the middle of the field. I constantly have to ask myself “What items don’t I have yet?” and “What areas do I have access to that I haven’t searched yet?” It turns the game into a kind of puzzle game. There is a website we use called Archipelago.gg that lets you connect randomizers together. I can play an OOT randomizer and my friend can be playing a Pokemon Emerald randomizer, and when I open a chest I can find items from his game and he gets a gym badge, an HM, or something else dropped into his inventory. And it works the other way when he beats another trainer, he could get one of my items and I get some rupees, or a hookshot dropped into my inventory.

Play dualies, focus purely on anniahlating children with complete disregard for the objective.

I play Trailmakers which is like Legos where people mostly build planes and tanks to shoot each other, but I build cranes, forklifts, trucks and boats and fill them with the barrels and crates from around the maps and move them to other places. Very peaceful and rewarding to me.

I couldn’t get into Stranded Deep, granted I think I demo-ed it like 2-3 years ago but at the time it was just janky feeling and the gameplay intro was really rough and confusing.

As far as I know, that’s pretty much stuck around. I think it’s a game where you kind of need to embrace the jank

Definitely get what you mean by the jank. Apparently the studio is working on a second one so hopefully starting from scratch they’ve learned their mistakes and can remove a lot of the Jank

I used to play Jet Moto solely to do tricks. I remember there being level geometry that could send you hundreds of feet in the air.

Most games I play that I don’t plan on playing a lot of. I use trainers hacks and cheats on things I find grindy or just feels pointless. Or unnecessary hard games.

Speedrunning

happydoors, do games w Thoughts on Mario Kart World

I think it’s cool. Just another Mario kart game. Updated graphics and world exploring is neat. I would be loving this game if I was 10. In my thirties? Nah. $$$

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

TheLowestStone,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

Then don’t buy it. Buying it tells them it’s ok to keep raising prices.

AllTheKarma,

You can’t expect prices to never increase. That’s not realistic. It sounds like small budget or free games are more your speed.

You Nintendo shills are hilarious. Have fun shelling out premium prices for out of date tech.

AllTheKarma,

Lol! I’m not a Nintendo shill. I rarely play Nintendo. Priorities change in life and that means sometimes changing up how you do things. The Switch 2 fits into my family picture.

It just sounds like you’re a broke little boy that can’t afford to play video games anymore. You could always save for a few months. Maybe find a better job that pays more? Be better professionally.

Mirror’s Edge

I haven’t played it in 15 years or so, but I think it wasn’t open-world?

Jumi,

That’s true, I missed that

GunValkyrie,

Mirrors edge catalyst then.

Yeah, just like it was announced for 2023 in that one XBox showcase.

I’ll believe it when I’m playing it.

Not sure if it counts as open world, but a souls-like platformer with some great movement is Blue Fire

I personally can’t wait. I have an OLED and MK8D but just didn’t play it enough due to life getting in the way. This has me beyond excited to play it. It’ll be nice to get into a game with my fiance from the start especially because she plays basically only animal crossing.
