I did that with RTS like Starcraft or Age of Empires II. I would just build a city, develop every upgrade, build good defenses and basically play it like Sim City

The player exploited the game mechanics to achieve an unintended side effect.

I like to play crusader kings II from the point of view of God. Using console commands, sketchy cheat mod, and knowing the right game mechanics you can make characters do all types of crazy stuff. Using the “observe” console command let’s you play as a spectator, you can use the “play” command followed by a character ID and you will jump into playing as that character. I like to find a character, give them insane stats, and give them all of the best traits, make them immortal and then spectate for a few hundred years and see what my chosen one made the world into. I also like to try to determine before hand what I want them to do, like becoming emperor of brittania or whatever, and see how close I can get from just 1 or 2 interactions with them.

Elevator7009,

This is such a cool idea. Nudging a few things around and trying to see what ripple effects they have…

I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

The only way to play NASCAR games is to drive backwards and see how many cars you can involve in a wreck.

slazer2au,

Might as well play Flatout, you get nos from the damage you cause.

Fallout games with vehicles ? (I haven’t played Fo1,2,76)

Or wreckfest

toddestan,

I remember in the original 1990’s NASCAR Racing game, I discovered a glitch where if I managed hit an AI car into the outer wall a certain way while driving backwards, it would launch said AI car backwards at some incredible rate of speed which could make for some spectacular wrecks.

Anyhow, that’s what I spent most of time doing.

The only way you can play soccer games is to see how many of your team can get red carded by end of match.

i, too, enjoy football violence!

For a while, I played the MMO Guild Wars 2 as a music simulator. It has playable in game musical instruments that you can equip, and play with the number keys. A-G are represented with the numbers 1-8 with 9 and 0 swapping an octave lower or higher. Killing monsters? Doing dungeons? Raids and world bosses? Nah I’m just chilling on a beautiful forested cliffside near a waterfall figuring out an arrangement for the Lord of the Rings theme.

Who amongst us hasn’t played GTA at least once while trying to drive around and follow all the traffic laws for absolutely no reason at all

forrgott,

Hmm. Nope.

That’s what Streets of SimCity was for!

Well unless you did sunday driving… And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.

MNByChoice,

Oh, yeah! Get a car, find a quite park, turn on the radio and chill.

Agrivar,

Every time I log into that game I like to pick a car from my garage, smoke a fatty (in RL), and then drive all slow and chill from my apartment to the golf course. Pretend like I’m afraid of getting pulled over! Then I play a quick 9 holes. Generally, after that, I’m done with GTA for another month or so.

Elevator7009,

There’s a wonderful contrarian-but-is-it-really-considering-it’s-making-the-lawful-choice delight in trying to follow the rules in a game about breaking rules.

No-commentary video of someone just driving in GTA trying to follow the rules of the road. I’m usually really not a video person, but just watching this feels nice somehow.

Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?

If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.

@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Sorta? Multiple that make you watch your speed, for sure

Driver’s law mechanics in a mission/mode of GTA would be amazing, wanted level system from 2 included (with a way to clear your on-foot wanted, of course)

CheeseNoodle,

People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain’t funny anymore and they wouldn’t do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Fucking driver! WTF is solemn‽

I played stealth games like Hitman like a mass murderer.

I also play the “infiltrator” class in Mass Effect without tactical cloak. I mean it’s a mix of soldier and engineer, why should it be focused on stealth ?

AceFuzzLord,

Absolutely a fun way to play Hitman. Definitely makes the game so much more fun, especially if you are playing on a crowded map and are trying to take out every single person possible without dying on harder difficulties.

We don’t need stealth where we’re going!

DrSteveBrule,

My cousin and I spent a summer messing around in hitman blood money when we were younger. There’s a level that takes place in a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. We managed to kill every single npc undetected with the snare wire and dump theoe bodies into the sewer to leave no evidence. After each level, the game generates a newspaper article to describe the events and it basically said everyone in the neighborhood just vanished.

I guess risk of rain 2.

I’ve fought the boss before but never any of the new ones. I don’t touch lunar items I just get to the last teleporter and loop around again and again. I rarely end the game I just play until I get bored and then close the game.

Still got like 400 something hours in the game on steam and on PS4 that I don’t even know

Any of The Forest games become basically a zipline simulator once that is unlocked.

As in, clear fell the forest so we can build ziplines everywhere.

battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually played a story mission in Just Cause 4

Almost all of them. Including the game of life.

Minecraft. You think that there’s no way to play Minecraft “wrong”, right up until you accidentally fall into the 4-block wide valley that I’ve cut through the entire map or walk into the liminal space that I’ve mined out just above bedrock. Fuck cutesy cottages and Minecraft in minecraft- let’s just build superstructures that disappear beyond the draw distance of the map. Fuck creative mode- let’s do it while we’re facing down mobs day and night. Fuck explosives- do that shit with a pick like a goddamn man. You haven’t really seen confused rage until your child discovers hundreds of unexplained and unexplainable brutalist towers extending into the distance like the gravestones of alien gods when they thought you were building a farm over the next hill.

. . . I gotta tour one of your worlds someday

Shit like this I have only seen in a Manga once, forgot the name, but basically bunch of robots that humanity made were let loose without humans(they died) and they kept building giant megastructures for no reason without stopping It’s just absolutely surreal and I just love it

JigglySackles,

Sounds like Blame! which is one of my favorite graphic novels

Gibibit,

There’s a great level of detail mod that can keep distant structures and terrain loaded in. I think it’s called Distant Horizons. That and a render performance improvement are the only mods that I play with, makes such a big difference.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java
