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! 😃

    Because I’m bad at pvp but still find it fun at times, I tend to pick classes and abilities in the vein of traps, status effects and dots. I know i can’t beat them, so instead i try to annoy them.

      This is my go to. For a brief period of time I dominated in this free to play game called Loadout because the meta was for each player to dodge roll in a circle why trying to recover and spam automatic or sniper at the other before rolling again. Instead of all that I loaded in with a proximity mine bazooka and just shot my own feet every time I came out of a roll. They’d roll into the bombs trying to dodge me and I wasn’t trying to shoot them so I could dodge faster. Honestly the game was amazing, just too bad all the characters looked like a sexed up Dr nefario from dispicable me…
