StaceyPowers Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 If you play games where there are breaks in the action, do you spend much time sitting around (or walking around) and just staring at the scenery, listening to the atmospheric sounds of the environment, and imagining you are really there? I suspect I spend way more time doing this than the average gamer (considering how many more hours I seem to take to finish games than the “average” for those games), but I wonder if other people do it too. I do this because I just can’t bring myself to rush past what amounts to beautiful artwork—but also because taking some time to smell the roses makes the experience feel more real and “lived in” to me.

Reality vs Adventure Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's half of my gaming. Sometimes everything just falls into place when I take that break and I really appreciate things more when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I do this a lot. There are often times in Zelda OoT that I'll go to lake Hylia and just leave Link there staring at the water. Listening to the waves, the bugs, and enjoying it. I do the same thing in FF8 as well. My favorite place is Fisherman's Horizon. The primitive, yet technologically advanced town is just relaxing and beautiful. I always felt that I could easily live there. I could never live in Esthar, Dollet, or Galbadia. Possibly Winhill. But if FH wasn't an option it would be Balamb. Even though I'm aquaphobic, I would love to live on water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Sometimes I take a break to take in the scope of the graphics. It's nice to go in and see a world that you might not be able to visit, but it's right there in front of you. Seeing the scope of the world helps a lot as well. Especially in games like Red Dead Redemption 2, and other games with expansive worlds that look stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I've done it Red Dead Redemption 2 to be fair and even GTA V. Taking in the scenery, the AI fighting and all kinds of shenanigans occurring in-game. I also love doing it with Skyrim as well, especially during Dragon or Vampire attacks. I just love to see how the city guards and civs handle the situation as well as the outcome. I'm a terrible Dragonborn, aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Seriously - if the scenery looks good enough, it's worth to be appreciated. Cyberpunk 2077 overall beauty in its scenery did made me fall in love with its aesthetics and general great graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Cyberpunk video is one of those open world game that is made realistic. I watched the trailer many times, it's kind of game I'll consider when I upgrade my console soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Game graphics is something that game companies have worked hard on its upgrades, it's why we get lost in appreciation of their great works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If a video game graphics set is very beautiful, appreciating it is a very normal thing to do. Take a look at how realistic the graphics in Cyberpunk 2077 was, it's a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just learning now that the game is out again on PC and consoles since it's initial take down from both stores as it was unplayable then. I'm going to try and check it out and hope it's not too buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Cyberpunk 2077 is available on Windows PC or any other gaming PC. You can simply go buy or install it from the PC store and enjoy the role-playing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like, it's devs aren't doing anything tangible to rectify the issues of the bugs to make it enjoyable and not killing the spirit of it's players off.

I do that most often especially when I'm just in the mood of appreciating a game and not just playing. It's more like exploring to appreciate.
