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.

Who amongst us hasn't played GTA at least once while trying to drive around and follow all the traffic laws for absolutely no reason at all

Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?

If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.

Fucking driver! WTF is solemn‽

People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren't really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain't funny anymore and they wouldn't do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.

Sorta? Multiple that make you watch your speed, for sure

Driver's law mechanics in a mission/mode of GTA would be amazing, wanted level system from 2 included (with a way to clear your on-foot wanted, of course)

There's a wonderful contrarian-but-is-it-really-considering-it's-making-the-lawful-choice delight in trying to follow the rules in a game about breaking rules.

No-commentary video of someone just driving in GTA trying to follow the rules of the road. I'm usually really not a video person, but just watching this feels nice somehow.

Every time I log into that game I like to pick a car from my garage, smoke a fatty (in RL), and then drive all slow and chill from my apartment to the golf course. Pretend like I'm afraid of getting pulled over! Then I play a quick 9 holes. Generally, after that, I'm done with GTA for another month or so.

Oh, yeah! Get a car, find a quite park, turn on the radio and chill.

Hmm. Nope.

That's what Streets of SimCity was for!

Well unless you did sunday driving... And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.
