Not sure how to title this better 😅
Are there any games that you tend to play contrary to how they are intended?
What prompted this question was playing Project Zomboid; but I am all comfortable and snug in my home base that it doesn’t feel like playing a zombie survival game anymore. I feel like I am just playing The Sims with a character that mimics my introverted ass. I never leave the house and just spend all day reading, watching videos, learning new crafts, and just staying alive. I have no need to scavenge since I am loaded up with tons of armor, guns, ammo, food, a source of water, a generator and acess to a near limitless supply of fuel from an underground fuel tank generated in the basement.
How 'bout y’all? Do you prefer Surf to actual Counter-Strike? Have an unconventional way of playing Pokemon? I wanna know! 😃
Sometimes I make a save just before some part of a game that I think is really fun. When I go back to play the game instead of like starting a new game or loading my save that is the furthest way through I just run through the part I really like.
There are a ton of games I consider my favorites that I have never played all the way through. I don’t really care that much about completing a game and I generally think the beginning is more fun than the later stages of many games.
Speaking of Project Zomboid I often, but not always, play that game with the infection turned off or set to bites only at least because I don’t want my run to end just because I made a tiny mistake or something really janky happens with the user interface that gets me scratched. I also play Project Zomboid with a game controller which isn’t how the game was originally designed but luckily someone on the team decided it was worth coding and I love them for it.
Sometimes I play Rust on a private server by myself with no other players just messing around and doing the PvE content.
