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.

were the big yellow skips (don’t know what Americans call them)

American here! I was reading your first comment, and I was mildly curious what a "skip" is. I guessed "school bus" and oh wow was I wrong. But hey, still a (probably?) public-funded vehicle that's bigger than a normal car and thus something my 5-year old self thought would be fun to drive.

Differences in uses of the English language in primarily English-speaking countries are always fun, I 100% agree with your point about clarifying. Thanks for explaining nicely to the person above :) I've seen a glut of people just being nasty on Lemmy recently so I'm especially happy to see people interacting civilly when some would have gone on an insult spree.
