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.
Cyberpunk 2077 is also good for this IMO. Sometimes I deliberately avoid fast traveling and just drive to my destination to take in the sights on the way.
I’m not sure I’ve ever fast traveled in Cyberpunk or Spider-Man
The driving mechanics also just feel so satisfying. Superjumping off a bike in a slide and throwing a knife, slowmo, clean headshot. Cooler than I will ever feel IRL.
I like to autopilot it so I have time to grab a beer/snack or go to the bathroom.
