Autistic shit you (used to) do in video games

Playing as a tourist and exploring the cities and towns was one of the comfiest experiences in the game for me.

I used to play wizard 101

>SanAndreasTour1992 folder

Post them pls.

I used to get the golf club in Fallout NV and play golf with the heads of the citizens in Goodsprings.

I had them in my other computer before said other computer had to be reformatted. So, my precious vacations memories are lost.

seconded

OP post comfy holiday pics with the gang

...

>Groove Street

I used to take the train in Paper Mario TTYD to just feel for the experience of riding a train and talk to all the passengers. I was fucking retarded and liked trains.

I - one by one - check the owners of the tweets that criticize me in Cities Skylines and punish them in various ways such as bulldozing their home, building a landfill site against it or removing the bus stops near it.

That reminds me, I once roleplayed as a New Vegas character who was obsessed with revenge. I skipped all sidequests and focused on getting to Benny killing or extorting all the ones who stood in my way. When I got to the Strip I barely had any caps and was at a pretty low level, so putting a bullet in him was kind of a challenge.
So, when I was done a lot of factions hated me for killing their people and my character had no clear goal in mind. So I just had him jump off a cliff and deleted his save; his revenge fulfilled and with no other objectives left in life.
It was an interesting game.

>In the future the government irl will do stuff like this

Nice

that sucks, user.

I find that impossible to believe

...

Thanks. It's a pity because I remember that shit surprisingly fondly.

There's nothing wrong with that, old Bethesda games were made with roleplaying in mind

>mfw SanAndreasTour1992 no more

It took me 3 years to get past the after the war-back home part of Mafia 2 because it was too comfy to skip so I just drove around and walked around and enjoyed every second of it because I love the 50-60s
(spoiler)I still do it around Christmas time (/spoiler)

Since the game is so easy, it is not impossible the find the few ungrateful fucks.

Same. Opening atmosphere of Mafia II is the comfiest open world shit I ever saw.

I also mainly had GTA SA autism

>go fancy part of Los Santos and pick out a nice house with a view

>pick out a decent car with good suspension animation as you drive up the hill

>play for months on end as the owner of that house and car

>drive daily to the business center of the City and act like I have a job there

>go the grocery store and maybe the pizza place to get food for me and my family

>go for long drives while the sun is setting pretending that my gf/wife is riding with me appreciating the view and our romantic road trip

>make up scenarios like "we're moving to San fierro now and I gotta start working at this gas station until I finish my studies down at the university and do a night shift at the pier" for example

>it's literally all in my head

I was a weird kid.. loved it though.. seriously enjoyed my imaginary life more than the campaign itself

I used to get a gang in my car and we would ride and shoot cops an shit like real playas never went full retard like you did tho

>move the camera with the direction of my swings in skyrim

I loved those diners

Getting comfy in video games was the only way i could allow myself to take a shit

>playing command and conquer red alert with my dad over our two computer network
>realize my autistic ass would stomp him in every way, every time
>make my own maps that would leave me just disadvantaged enough so that we'd be struggling equally (I'm exposed from all angles, far more limited resources, lots of trees and rocks to break up ideal basebuilding. his setup area was large but covered from all but one angle, and ample, infinitely recharging resource)

I THINK this was also so far back that you couldn't pick your startpoint, and we had to restart the map if we spawned into the wrong positions

Mafia Ii is legit the second best open world game of all time

>cruising around in top down corvette

>"dream dream dream" by the everly brothers is playing

yeah i'm guilty for this one too

When I used cheats massacring everything in sight was a lot of fun. But when I didn't I used to do stuff like this all the time.
I remember when I used to take CJ to the beach, dress him up for the occasion and just have him run from one end of the beach to another, using the gym, diving, swimming, etc.

But your idea is pretty good too.
I also liked to pretend I was a cop.

>Mafia Ii is legit the second best open world game of all time

What is the first one?

San Andreas

In every Bethesda game I always put on the third person view and place it in front of my character so I can see him slowly walk like he own the place.

Google "bridgegate," user. It happens now.

After watching Freeman's Mind I tend to think out loud whenever I play a game with a mute protagonist roleplaying as them.
My parents were afraid I was a schizo for a while and told me to stop doing it.

I still do it

...

Pls stop making ur parents embarrased at your autistic anus
Its fine to do it when they aint around tho

Mean for

I was afraid I´d get stars in GTA if I skipped any red lights so I tried to follow the traffic rules.

>Go to Groove Street
>Groove Street

If you played the driver series beforehand this was a valid concern, at least at first.

Home...

Not autistic but I realised early on you do missions way faster and easier if you drive perfectly instead of GTA-esque so I learned to drive just fast enough to not crash into shit every 100m. I remember my friends and 2 younger cousins couldn't wrap their head around how I can do that lol. Noobs.
Also in Skyrim I'd have a routine of picking up every alchemy ingredient I found and then trying every combination of 2 ingredients at the alchemy stand (even though I could've easily googled the recipes) and getting excited when I found one that works or levelled alchemy. It kinda felt like a chore but I couldn't help myself.

Big deal, Chris Christie does it in real life

When I played Vice City and San Andreas, if I died or got arrested I would instantly reload my save, I finished both games without a death or arrest in the stats. Also, I obsessed over 100%ing the games, and having the most interesting cars in the garages in the game.

I used to 100% games in hopes of one day having the most 100% completed games ever and getting rich from it.
I had a PSX memory card with nothing but JRPG 100% on them I kept as safe as possible and never let anyone even see.

>tfw that's the true meaning of the SA plot

I got tired of having to deal with the Grove members being so weak, so I made my own gang in the game using the 'recruit all pedestrians' cheat. I had CJ kitted out in orange/red, then recruited that one orange hoodie guy and the shirtless guy with the red track pants into the gang, and went around doing drive-bys on every gang I came across.

If I was playing a game with that had AI soldiers, (Halo, red faction, ect) I would restart the game over and over until I could make sure all my allied AIs survived

New Vegas was made by Obsidian. Bethesda has always been mediocre at making RPGs. Yes, even that one.

>"After watching a parody series based on the inner thoughts of a character I started talking to myself out loud"

this thread is cute

I used to play my games like I was demoing it live at e3.

This is literally everyone though, everyone knew you could jump the border with a car/truck

I used to have a monologue in my head while playing as if I was doing a Youtube commentary.

I'm guilty of this too user

Not me but a friend of mine used to wear a suit during importan matches like derbies, final games in Football Manager games.

It's safe to say everyone here did this, r-right?

Not sure if autistic but on GTA games I use to drive by the rules unless there was a chase or something. (yes even the old ones)

>Type Ripazha
>Type Worshipme
>Spawn a bus from a Cleomod
>Recruit 7 homies
>Fly the Bus

Dude weed lmao

Sounds like you played FFXV 10 years before everyone else.

>Older brother comes home with friend
>Would get the most graphically impressive game and try to replay a cuhrazy mission to impress them with my taste in vidya

If only Ace Combat had a better wow factor.

...

>there will never be a game that combines GTA with The Sims

In both Morrowind and Oblivion, I'd use the console to lower all my stats to super weak levels. I'd find some bandit layer in the wilderness, strip naked, and pretend I was their slave (using the console to lower their fight score so they don't autoattack me). I'd pretend to be given menial jobs like picking alchemy ingredients in the swamp or transporting stuff to town. I'd have no weapons so I'd have to be careful not to get attacked. At the end of the day I'd sleep in a locked cell or room.

My character would be given a little food every day and occasionally some gold. If I saved up enough I could buy my freedom but I'd eventually get tired and quit.

I do it but not even as commentary. I just get high, play and crack jokes and comments about what's going on. Or hum songs. I'm weird but fuck it. I sometimes record it, too.

>Playing GTA Vice City
>haven't unlocked the other coast yet
>use the boat-car and low gravity cheats
>use them to launch your car from the river to the other coast

Otherwise

>spawn a bunch of tanks on top of each other
>climb them and go through the gate

If a game has a train in it I'll dedicate an autistically large amount of time just driving/riding the train.

>if I died or got arrested I would instantly reload my save, I finished both games without a death or arrest in the stats
This was me playing Punch Out on the Wii, i just couldn't deal with my record being ruined, kept soft resetting because i couldn't beat Donkey Kong

Played Star Citizen.

Yeah that's why I did it. The only games I routinely looked up online were Minecraft (I've played since alpha so don't bully) and Terraria and such. I have this weird autismo about strategy guides being on par with spoilers and I avoid them like fire.

Then make new memories!

It'd be awesome to stream it and then we all can go on a SanAndreasTour1992 vacation

I was obsessed with using savestates on the GBA emulators.

No nigga, you don't understand, i had dedicated keys mapped to quicksaving and quickloading.

Almost fucked up my hand from one time playing megaman zero.

I know it was a casul thing to do, i don't use it anymore, and only play on the hardest difficulties now. Fuck casuals.

Made my own mini games in GTA:VC like getting the fastest time to 6 stars without cheats, balancing pedestrians on cars, running over motorcycles no matter what even on a mission, Playing like its my second life, Drifting on the pedestrian lane etc...

Kill yourself, casual faggot.

Power Overwhelming

That bit me in the ass so hard years later, i should have learned how to git gud

I literally reset a Pokémon platinum save file when i was already at the second half of the game just because one of my pokémon had the wrong ability and i was too lazy to grind

I had a combined obsession with Resident Evil 4 and GTA:SA when iwas like 14. So i turned
On the fog, riots and pedestrians hate you cheats. Put CJ in the vest shirt option (because it looked like body armor) and used the Farmers Rifle because it had the most third person over the shoulder RE4 esque look. It was pretty fun.

I too used to do the same thing OP did, but id grab as many as you could like 10? Grab a bus and go through venturas, then to fierro then back down and stop in balla territory and do a giant bus drive by. Or something like that.

I did a skyrim playthrough where I literally walked everywhere.

>Mafia Ii is legit the second best open world game of all time
>open world is literally empty and there's absolutely nothing to do in it

It's the only game I can think of with an open world even more pointless than MGSV's.
You have playboy magazines to find, and the marker to the next mission.
That's it.

My childhood friend used to do this in every game with character progression. He'd level a character to like 1/3 of the max, decide some skill he'd put 3 points into is lame and delete the character. I remember cringing hard at the time he's wasting but hey, to each their own.
Are you Slavic by any chance? That sounds like me except I didn't "grow up" with emulation, just fooled around with it.

>Dad bought me AOE when I was really small
>Send out several clubmen to scout the map

I play Rocket League and Fifa as if I have a live commentary. My friends are autistic enough to join in when I play with them.

It's honestly a great tool to critique yourself

I recently bought watch dogs 2 and me and my friend instead of playing the missions in co-op we will just drive around the Bay Area and have awesome road trips and watch the sun seats and stupid shit like that

I have so many stardew valley saves like this

What do they call this again? Emergent gameplay?
It may be autistic but getting that involved is like another level of immersion and fun

I used to be like that but now I can't give a fuck about even playing a game in the first place

It's like watching a movie and thinking about what it must be like for the actor or how they shot the scene instead of just getting lost in the story

It is really autistic if you had fun doing it?

That's way too philosophical a question to be asking here. It's like "if you enjoyed the time you wasted, is it really wasted?".

Enjoying things is autistic, yes.

Modded skyrim

I jump around in circuits on crates and railings an shit for hours in just about every third person/first person action/shooter/rpg/mmo with a jump mechanic
