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.

Command and conquer, rush the resources, keep the other side in poverty by surrounding their base with turrets and laugh like J.Jonah Jameson as they try to aquire more resources, or build advanced buildings.

The laugh like J.Jonah Jameson was in Empire Earth 2, when i had tanks, airstrikes, and missiles, the poor CPU was still using bows and horses, having no resources to advance to the next age. 😂
