Doing things in games because it simple felt good. (feddit.uk)

I've been thinking about the PS1 game 'Driver' a lot recently. It's a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I'm sure it doesn't hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my 'gaming youth'.

As much as I know I enjoyed it however, I don't remember all that much about it. Aside from pulling the perfect reverse hand-break-turn in order to leave the garage/lockup area and begin the game proper. I didn't need to pull this manoeuvre of course, I could just, you know...drive out, but something felt so incredibly satisfying about it that I couldn't stop myself.

Which brings me to this point of this thread. What's something you do in a game for no reason other than it feels damn good?

I spent an inordinate amount of time driving a forklift around in Shenmue, moving crates.

Threads of Fate. Shape shifting into the cool creature forms (esp the gargoyle) and running around.

Okami. Literally, the whole ass game lol.

WoW. Exploring, collecting herbs, and skinning mobs in druid forms.

LOTRO. Just riding around.

Witcher 3. Just riding around, taking in the views - and possibly being waylaid by random wolf packs and bandits, but then the cool music starts playing and Geralt says hilarious random shit while chopping heads so that's also fine.

Genshin Impact. Just running around doing random shit as Klee.

When I was young (probably too young) I would always play as Kabal on UMK3. That spin attack plus the easy combos was great.

By the time I started playing Forza Horizon 5, I had already completed a vast majority of the content in FH4. Once I started FH5 I found myself doing a lot less missions/races and instead just hopping in a pretty sounding or nicely handling or gorgeous looking car and seeing if I can drift some corner or launch myself off a ramp and land on a piece of road.

It just feels good.

In CSGO I constantly switching guns andbinspecting my weapons. The animations and sounds are really satisfying to me

In Minecraft flying around in the Elytra feels really nice. I wish there was some sort of time trials minigame for the Elytras

I never got through the first mission, sadly. It seems like there is never enough time.

going from reverse into forward with a 180 turn in stuntman ignition felt so fucking good to pull off
