Did you ever make a mistake in a game that turned out to work out in your favour?

Did you ever make a massive mistake in a game that turned out to help you? Like, in a MUD, I once stupidly read a classified log entry to the wrong person. It was an honest dumb mistake, but it turned me into a public figure as it became a treason case, which gave me power.

I was once using the alien gun in GTA online and was in a shootout and I accidentally aimed it at the ground which sent me flying. Coincidentally, a fighter jet just started firing their machine guns lighting up everyone on that street. The guy that I was fighting got caught in it while I just happened to get out of the way at the right moment.

In a racing game I didn't brake hard enough for a corner, or so I thought, but it turned out the car could carry more speed through the corner, so it worked to my benefit.

How about allowing another car crash at your back while trying to prevent it from getting past you and it ended up giving a push to go faster 😂.

It probably happened, I can't remember when though.

There is definitely no one who's a perfect gamer till the end of the gameplay, there will definitely a time of off play and errors.

Last night I brushed a fence on the Rome street course in GT6 and that's my favorite track in the whole game.  I can't believe I messed up there.

Unfortunately, I'm not really a fan of GTA and have never completed any GTA series till date.

No, I'm talking about Gran Turismo 6.

Oh! That super car racing game. I played it a few times but NFS happens to be my favorite.

To each his own.  I've played every GT game but Sport.

I haven't played Tourist Trophy though.

Yeah, exactly. That's how it's meant to be as we all have different tastes when it comes to gaming preferences.

It's good to see people can disagree, but still be polite.

It's actually not a big deal, I believe that it's something to do with maturity and understanding that we are all different.
