I’ve been thinking about the PS1 game ‘Driver’ a lot recently. It’s a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I’m sure it doesn’t hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my ‘gaming youth’.

As much as I know I enjoyed it however, I don’t remember all that much about it. Aside from pulling the perfect reverse hand-break-turn in order to leave the garage/lockup area and begin the game proper. I didn’t need to pull this manoeuvre of course, I could just, you know…drive out, but something felt so incredibly satisfying about it that I couldn’t stop myself.

Which brings me to this point of this thread. What’s something you do in a game for no reason other than it feels damn good?

    Risk of Rain 2: Get 5 to 10 movement items and just zoooooooom around.

    Deep Rock Galactic: Drill thru the walls even when it’s not the best idea, because I just like the idea of destructible terrain and navigating in 3d.

      DRG has a whole list of things that just feel good:

      • Fucking obliterating one grunt with your biggest gun or explosive as you board the drop pod

      • Going back to rescue your teammate that didn’t make it to the drop pod even though it technically barely matters as long as one person makes it back alive

      • When building liquid morkite pipes that run parallel for a while, lining the support points up

      • Using a bulk detonator to kill a dreadnought

      • Mining a crassus detonator gold sphere by drilling all of the surrounding terrain away so that the entire sphere pops at once and collapses in to a neat pile
