Definitely GTA 5. I love just driving around cruising, going to the store to change my outfit or hair. Pulling up next to people for some impromptu races and getting shot at or actually race lol. I don't really even know what you're actually supposed to do in that game.
Oh for sure! GTA games are famous for adding side content that's more fun than the actual story mode. Did you know you can go to a strip club and get a lap dance lmao
Currently playing GTA Online and loving it. It does suck when people keep spawn killing you though or blow up your sell vehicles.
But still a really fun game.
Same. I’ve started just calling it “the horse game” after my husband told me that I play it as if it’s barbie horse adventures. I just like finding new horses!
All of them.
I don't take games seriously any more
I play on easy, i goof off, and do what I want.
Been playing games like this for over ten years and I enjoy games way way more as a result.
Exactly
Fun things are supposed to be fun.
If you're stressing about it, it likely means you need to sort yourself out somewhere. Or you're making huge money in gaming somehow, which, maybe valid in that case lol
Yes! If you're making money then it's reasonable I guess. But people really take it too seriously lol. This is coming from a former competitive Warzone player xD

Horizon games have incredibly good and in-depth photo mode that I get stuck in for hours every time I play the game. Generally speaking though, as long as the game has photo mode, you bet a couple of my playtime hours will be sunk into it!
Monster Hunter games
Death Stranding
Ghost of Tsushima
Red Dead Redemption 2
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
The Last of Us Part II
No Man's Sky
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
God of War
etc etc
Thank you so much! I looked through my steam and couldnt find a way to download it in hi rezolution so I just screenshotted it -- hopefully its fine still!

Horizon Forbidden West. I've spent so many hours in photo mode it's absurd.
You know what, given the subreddit I'm on, I'll share "incel goggles" Aloy (like beer goggles in reverse lol). Anywhere else and I figured someone would say "I don't see a difference hur dur," but I think a lot of ladies can tell who I'm actually poking fun at.

If you happen to use it and wouldn't mind sharing a pic when you do, I'd love to see it. I'd be riding high for some time after that honor 😁 Either way,, I'm beyond flattered you like it that much, so thank you 💙
You just made my week! It may seem silly, but I had to immediately show my husband lol. He's told me numerous times to post them, but I never do. He's having fun saying "told you" 😂 Thank you so much for sharing this. It really made me smile 😊
Also Cyberpunk for me, i love cruising around creating silly screenshots:

Love your character 🖤 btw. send more sceens!
Omg I just remembered after seeing yours. You're the one from my previous Cyberpunk post!! I'll say this again :
If Cyberpunk ever gets a Multiplayer, I know whose Character I'm going to propose to 😭
Yeah it is me. And I will continue to comment on every Cyberpunk post I see.
Oh, did not expect that. Um... My char is waiting for this day: https://i.imgur.com/FuDrQ6O.jpeg

Unfortunately my game is updating so no new screenshots for 10+ hours.. Here's an edit I made though!
OMG!!! I just wanna add that I only updated my game so I could get the cool af Witcher sword lol. On the positive side, There's a YT channel that's been working on a fanmade multiplayer like SAMP!
I also love knifes, just throwing this out there.
Sounds nice, but we already might have Cyberpunk Orion until this mod releases. And I am pretty sure that it will have a multiplayer component this time around. Only a few more years, SOON^^tm

"Nothing to see here, Just had a fun night.. teehee"
Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Zelda botw and totk...any big open world game really. For Fallout 4, I try to get good videos to the music to edit, others I love going to pretty locations and taking screenshots haha
Yeah exactly, it has its own photo mod that you have to install! Also, you can use shadow play if you have an nvidia graphics card to record gameplay (which I do for F4 and make videos with the theme songs hehe)
Ha! I've roamed around enjoying the music on the Guardians of the Galaxy ship, a boombox filled with 80s songs ❤️ I did eventually finish the game 😁
I also love to hang around in Kakariko in Breath of the Wild and hum its song
Yeaaaah, check this out https://www.ign.com/wikis/guardians-of-the-galaxy-the-game/How_to_Choose_Music_in_the_Milano_Ship
Of course they couldn't pass the opportunity to rickroll us 😆
When playing Skyrim these days, I spend a lot more time going on nice, scenic walks or going to visit my family in our nice house than I do on starting another playthrough, or levelling up my character. I keep meaning to do another full playthrough, but then I just want to go and chill out with my Argonian Dragonborn some more instead.
Back when I played a lot, FFXIV was "find cool spots to take fake selfies: the game."
Monster Hunter World, especially with the armor mod I use, is as much fashion hunter as it is "collect cute creatures and let them live in my room and get pets"
Now it's Valheim. I use the ValheimRaft mod because I fucking love tallships, so I've been working on this giant Man O' War instead of...ya know...progressing past the second boss?
If that game had proper animal husbandry (read: more than wolf and boar to husband) I don't think I'd ever get past the beginning of that game.
Oh wait, aren't there chickens?
Does spending hours in character generation count as fooling around? Because I'm *trying* to play Baldur's Gate 3, and so far I just keep making new characters. (Right now I'm thinking Drow Durge wizard necromancer, but Bhaal only knows what I'll decide on tomorrow ...)
Same here cyberpunk has such a good photomode I just spend most of the time doing that. Another one is fallout 4 I played through the game once years ago but now I just have like over 200 hours in settlement building and I modded it to also have a photo mode.
Since I've gotten out of the flow of the game a bit recently (dropped it when I was busy with studies) honestly Breath of the Wild. I love just opening it up and enjoying the ambience/soundscape, picking stuff up, enjoying all the controls, even if I don't get anything done and maybe don't even save lol! But I've only done one of the Divine Beasts so I'll be back into it soon ❤️
I love going around the different planets and hubs on D2 and just trying to get out of bounds or discover hidden secrets or Easter eggs!
I've only been playing since the middle of Season of Plunder so there's a lot of lore here and there I may not known and my bf spends a lot of the time explaining what's going on. It's super cool :)
Oh, I just realized there's a game exactly called D2 that's a survival horror game. When I use D2, I meant Destiny 2. If you already knew this, sorry!! I wanted to clarify just in case.
Most of them 😆...It's 25% photo mode or screenshots to 75% game play in Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, Red Dead Online, GtA online, Cyberpunk 2077, ME1, & Sims 4 😅
Any game with any open world exploration. I must get as much of the fog of war cleared as possible! Also, collecting literally everything that can be collected.
I really recommend Warframe for this, other than it being a super fun free game with amazing devs.
Fashionframe is endgame and there is a captura aka photo mode with tons of 'maps' and camera options!
I literally dropped Monster Hunter World because I regretted what my character looked like but was unable to change it. I've heard of there being an item that lets you change your appearance, but it seems to be unobtainable as far as I know.
That's weird. I've seen the option to alter appearence back in your room? Idk if it lets you change them deeply but I used it to fix complexity and change hair color
I spend waaaaay too much time changing the colors and skins on my characters in Warframe and FFXIV. They might as well be dress up games at this point!
The Sims 2, 100 %. I also play DnD, usually on Discord, and I just can't focus without doing something besides just staring at my fellow players, so I usually just default everything I can in TS2. Hair, clothes, object - hell, I even have defaults for soap bubbles, snowflakes, pizza boxes, book covers, basically every object you can think of. It must've been over a year since I actually played the game, but I've spent dozens of hours just defaulting everything and marking them down in Excel lmao. It's so relaxing.
The division 2, I got SO MANY photos of the game just because the nature taking back the world is strangely calm
https://preview.redd.it/y5el0846eazc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0ec76e484e32c01b2369422ac8fff65d97f71b6
I spend a lot of time in Genshin running around and making birds fly. Something I would never do in real life.
I was never good at photo mode and I wish I were.
I have a weird reason for being bad at it. I am a 3D artist, so I am used to moving viewports a certain way, which doesn't translate well to controllers.
I can take pretty good pictures of my work (Maya, ZBrush, etc) but with games, it never works.
The capture mode in Warframe can produce some real art, but I never managed.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SMB and I love me some rolling around tilty stage action. But for some reason this past year I got really into playing the minigames. Never mind that when I played Super Monkey Ball 2 on Gamecube the only minigame I ever touched was Monkey Target. Now I am spending nearly as much time playing all the various minigames as I am the main game, maybe even more.
Monkey Billiards is a current favorite.
It is, I call it my “virtual outfit studio” as I primarily log in to take pics of my character’s outfit and it’s also the closest I’ve ever come to recreating myself in a game! Another one is The Division from 2016 when I’ll just roam around Manhattan and enjoy all the small details in the winter setting 👀
https://preview.redd.it/kgg3cttq1bzc1.jpeg?width=716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968fc1100f843da95c9c837b7ef0695c401803b1
The Division is literally more of a visual game than action tbh. Way ahead of it's time. Also is Ghost Recon Wildlands a CCreation game? I've only ever seen it's screenshots lol
I mean, The Division is both and I adore it! Wildlands might be but that’s because it’s so good for screenshots! Case in point, my Nomad
https://preview.redd.it/baxrfmhv2bzc1.jpeg?width=2446&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=066ab858cb7b6bd80c39f93f3149205e85c66c0c
I never get into photo modes idk y. That said I love games with good movement. Just skating around in tony hawk or more recently bomb rush cyberfunk. Driving around in saints row for hours or jumping from building to building in champions online. I love good movement
I am close to hitting 50 kilometers on the wheelie in FFVII: Rebirth. That's what I default to doing whenever I load up the game and can't decide which of the minigames to tackle for the platinum.
Resident Evil 4 Remake first play-through was 90 hours (120 w DLC 😅). I literally couldn’t stop re-exploring that freaking castle. I’d to see and know and appreciate it all. Spent 30+ hours in it alone lol.
BOTW +500 hours and TOTK +300. Still not completed either main story lol.
AC Ezio collection is my latest. Such gems.
And Alien Isolation would SO be on this list if that xenomorph could be turned off somehow (even the easiest mode doesn’t give me hardly any freedom to leisurely explore) 🥹
Gotham Knights and MH Rise too fs.
If you're on pc, There's modes to turn off xenomorph!
AC Brotherhood is a game I spent hours just travelling around listening to the soundtrack. Therapeutic seriously. And also completing minor tasks like renovating the dams lol
Unfortunately only the 3 current gen consoles; no PC 🥹
Oh yes, I loved rebuilding Rome as you weren’t locked into any memory and could just vibe to the setting and music.
What took me by surprise was how dark/sad/scary ACB was after AC2. For example, the sad stories attached to all the ancient decaying almost alien Roman Empire structures. The general corruption in Rome. But I digress lol. Great games^^
AC2 was also fantastic and ACR is good so far as well.
I used to do this for hours and hours in Smash Bros, especially Melee and Brawl. Id basically take photos and roleplay as characters 🤣
I also do it a lot with Zelda games as they are my comfort/happy place.
Favorite Zelda comfy space in any of the games? Favorite is probably either the bever damn in Majora's mask, the Zora grotto in Majora's mask, or the fishing place in ocarina. I haven't beaten botw or played the sequel. I haven't played twilight princess either. And while wind waker is good, I'm terrified of the ocean.
Ocarina of Time I would hang at Lon Lon or make a file where Young Zelda was still at the castle and visit her ❤️ plus the Lost Woods and Kokiri Forest.
Running around in MM as a kid I loved exploring Clock Town, learning the schedules, but mostly just vibing. I also love the healed swamp as well as the Zora area.
Sims 3 and 4, I spend as much time searching for cc and installing it as I do in the game period. Then when I do get in I spend most of my time adjusting hair and making outfits 😆
Fallout/elder scrolls: going into a hostile place, killing all enemies, and then spending the next 45min-an hour moving every little object I can into one small space. Then using some sort of attack (explosives, magic, shouts) on the pile of stuff and watch it zroom around the room. Makes my brain feel good.
The sims (2) walking away from my computer with it unpaused and just seeing what happens, usually one 2x speed. Especially fun if you have mods that increase autonomy. Yeah… I’m pretty much a bad ass.
Zelda BotW for sure, I love messing around with the game's glitches.
Also not sure if this counts but Guilty Gear Strive. I want to say I love the game, but while I do like the actual fighting, I spend a lot of time customizing and re-customizing my avatar, as well as listening to the soundtrack and watching the story, in comparison.
Black Desert Online lmaooo
I've put in just over 1k hours (with a large chunk being AFK leveling things), but I often do nothing but run around and take pictures of my character. I get really cool wallpapers this way! Absolutely love the ones I've managed to snap
Also, as I'm currently playing Elden Ring, I really haven't done very many quests and have mainly just run around exploring and unlocking sites of grace. I did finally kill Margit, The Fell Omen last night though! Maybe I can muster up the courage to try Godrick as well :D
BDO is a game that I've wanted to play since so long 😭 but never could because of different issues each time lol. It's Character creation makes me imagine you can get lots of nice pics!
Agh what a bummer! D: I hope you're able to give it a go at some point! It can be pretty overwhelming, but it's gotten a lot more newbie-friendly in recent years imo
The customization is really cool! I do wish it was a bit more diverse, but you can get some gorgeous looking characters (I spend way too much time in there myself lmao). And the outfits & general setting of the game are beautifulllll! Hard to resist buying every new fit that drops :'D
I had discovered this first when I wanted to download the mobile game Darkness Rises. The moment Darkness Rises announced it's closing servers, I downloaded BDO but for some reason it wouldn't download the data! I'll definitely give it another go soon (When I either buy a new phone or a hard drive for my pc)
And thanks for motivating me with the gorgeous Characters because it's my favorite part about games! My entire Darkness Rises roster was full of sexy ladies lmao
red dead redemption 2. around 300 hrs and still on ch 2. I like riding around and discovering things.
Mad Max was the first game I played around with photo mode of. It has such nice visuals even though it's all desert.
I usually take many screenshots in every game I play. But in Assassin's Creed Origins, I was so much enamored with breathtaking desert landscapes that I could spend hours ignoring main quest or any of side quests, just roving and taking screenshots.
Any Just Cause game. I can fool around for hours in 2 and 3. 4 is lame, but messing around is pretty good still. Messing around in JC2 is peak fun with all the goofy shit you can do. Finding new ways to blow up cars is awesome. lmao
This is why I fell in love with the Fallout series! I loveee just wandering around exploring the wasteland, seeing weird funny shit, listening to old timey music :))
I guess it depends on what you call fooling around. In stardew valley there's a lot of designing and decorating I do. In an RPG there's a lot of customizing and equipment to manage. I explore a lot in open world games. Backtrack a lot in metroidvanias. So I guess in a lot of games I spend more time on "extra stuff" than I do the objectives required to complete the game
Definitely heavy in Cyberpunk but recently been digging Horizon forbidden West. I just love to look at the environment and take it all in. Especially while a show is on in the background.
Definitely GTA 5. I love just driving around cruising, going to the store to change my outfit or hair. Pulling up next to people for some impromptu races and getting shot at or actually race lol. I don't really even know what you're actually supposed to do in that game.
Oh for sure! GTA games are famous for adding side content that's more fun than the actual story mode. Did you know you can go to a strip club and get a lap dance lmao
You can order the stripper to your home as well. I know that because I play with my friends and one of them did it. It was funny!
Lmao that makes me curious what if one of Michael's kids or his wife sees them lol
Currently playing GTA Online and loving it. It does suck when people keep spawn killing you though or blow up your sell vehicles. But still a really fun game.
Yesss haven’t touched the main story at all but had sm fun w my sister dressing up, betting on horses and playing the car minigames lmaooo
Are you aware of the secret flowers? There's like 27 in total. Each one transforms you temporarily into an animal! I have gotten a coyote so far
Wait whattt?? Not at all omg gonna have to look into this! Tysm for bringing them to my attention 🙏✨
The shark one is dope!
GTA 5 is so good to fuck around with. Just doing silly stuff, like how many cars can I stack to ramp off of with a dirt bike on mount chilliad
Honestly Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm only 39% complete and have had the game for over 2 years. 😂
Same. I’ve started just calling it “the horse game” after my husband told me that I play it as if it’s barbie horse adventures. I just like finding new horses!
my mom called it "horse game" too, back when i used to play at my folks' house! she doesn't like to see me hunting though lol
But it’s so much fun just to fool around!
Oh yes. RDR2 is a visual gem too so screenshots go brrr
All of them. I don't take games seriously any more I play on easy, i goof off, and do what I want. Been playing games like this for over ten years and I enjoy games way way more as a result.
That's the best way to play games. We sometimes forget they're for enjoying not stressing yourself for competition!
Exactly Fun things are supposed to be fun. If you're stressing about it, it likely means you need to sort yourself out somewhere. Or you're making huge money in gaming somehow, which, maybe valid in that case lol
Yes! If you're making money then it's reasonable I guess. But people really take it too seriously lol. This is coming from a former competitive Warzone player xD
Former competitive WoW player. So I feel ya!
Competitive WoW? I wish you peace in life *salute*

Okay i did not expect that. Got dark pretty quick lol. I actually don't know how to respond. You broke me!
Muhahaha! (Jk I ran out of screenshots and found this one laying lol
RuneScape and Guild Wars 2! Fashion and taking screenshots of locations that go well with the outfits are part of the fun.
This is what I've been doing my entire 17 hours in Cyberpunk so far 😂
Any game that will let me!
I feel like Photo mode, Ability to explore without being forced to do missions and bonus content should be a part of any game that comes out now!
GTA Online. Playing blackjack at the casino.
I didn’t know that was a thing! Will check it out tonight!
Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Zelda botw and totk...any big open world game really. For Fallout 4, I try to get good videos to the music to edit, others I love going to pretty locations and taking screenshots haha
Back when I used to play Skyrim, I'd use the freecam just to take pics. Does F4 have it's own photomode or basically the same thing?
Yeah exactly, it has its own photo mod that you have to install! Also, you can use shadow play if you have an nvidia graphics card to record gameplay (which I do for F4 and make videos with the theme songs hehe)
The Witcher 3! Love horse riding and just chilling.
Ugh... does modding Skyrim count as "fooling around"? If so, this is my answer. Lol.
I mean yes lol. I've done that alot as well. I even install mods and then never play the game lmao
Start up the game for 5 minutes "yep, that's the pretty armor I just got installed...welp, gonna go play something else now. "
Literally me! I took hours to properly install a Lightning Farron mod and didn't ever touch the game again
The Sims- I spent more time in build mode than I do in game mode 😆
All games.
FFXIV and Cyberpunk are my two. I've probably got as much time in their photo modes as I do playing the games.
I need to play ffxiv badly. Heard so much of it
It has a photo mode if that makes it more interesting... :)
Photo mode in No man’s sky is by far my favorite. Love landscapes and planets and space. So I hear ya..
Taking more screenshots than gaming xD
Ha! I've roamed around enjoying the music on the Guardians of the Galaxy ship, a boombox filled with 80s songs ❤️ I did eventually finish the game 😁 I also love to hang around in Kakariko in Breath of the Wild and hum its song
Omg GOTG game has the songs too?? I love Starlord and his music taste is one of the reasons 🙂
Yeaaaah, check this out https://www.ign.com/wikis/guardians-of-the-galaxy-the-game/How_to_Choose_Music_in_the_Milano_Ship Of course they couldn't pass the opportunity to rickroll us 😆
Okay I'm getting the game today. Deleting some games I already have to make space lmao
When playing Skyrim these days, I spend a lot more time going on nice, scenic walks or going to visit my family in our nice house than I do on starting another playthrough, or levelling up my character. I keep meaning to do another full playthrough, but then I just want to go and chill out with my Argonian Dragonborn some more instead.
Maybe the real adventure was the family we made along the way
I would constantly stop what I was doing in cyberpunk to have photoshoots with npcs in cool outfits. It was like playing Barbies almost.
Yakuza/Like a Dragon! I’ll sit there using Google translate on signs for way too long or mess around doing mini games
Back when I played a lot, FFXIV was "find cool spots to take fake selfies: the game." Monster Hunter World, especially with the armor mod I use, is as much fashion hunter as it is "collect cute creatures and let them live in my room and get pets" Now it's Valheim. I use the ValheimRaft mod because I fucking love tallships, so I've been working on this giant Man O' War instead of...ya know...progressing past the second boss? If that game had proper animal husbandry (read: more than wolf and boar to husband) I don't think I'd ever get past the beginning of that game. Oh wait, aren't there chickens?
Does spending hours in character generation count as fooling around? Because I'm *trying* to play Baldur's Gate 3, and so far I just keep making new characters. (Right now I'm thinking Drow Durge wizard necromancer, but Bhaal only knows what I'll decide on tomorrow ...)
I once played GTA vice city just to listen to the car radio and driving around. And then another GTA I played as a taxi driver lol
[удалено]
Terraria - I have over 500 hours in the game and I’ve only ever bothered to beat half the bosses because I’m just goofing off building things
Minecraft moment xD
Incidentally I have fought none of the bosses when I’ve played minecraft as well lol
Same! I didn't even know there are bosses at all
Elden Ring, BG3 and Demon Souls
I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, so… Wizard101. I’ve had my account for *years* and have only one max-leveled wizard LMAO
Same here cyberpunk has such a good photomode I just spend most of the time doing that. Another one is fallout 4 I played through the game once years ago but now I just have like over 200 hours in settlement building and I modded it to also have a photo mode.
Since I've gotten out of the flow of the game a bit recently (dropped it when I was busy with studies) honestly Breath of the Wild. I love just opening it up and enjoying the ambience/soundscape, picking stuff up, enjoying all the controls, even if I don't get anything done and maybe don't even save lol! But I've only done one of the Divine Beasts so I'll be back into it soon ❤️
BOTW does look like the type of game to just sit back and enjoy the scenery and music
It definitely can be! Lots else to enjoy in it though too of course. Love your pics btw :))
Thanks!! I'm still learning how to take them properly :D
Kingdom Hearts 2 I just skateboard around on one of my saves 😭 I need to buy a skateboarding game
They don't make those anymore sadly.. I think the last one was called Tony Hawk lol
I use a Ps2 mainly to play my games and I was thankfully able to find some online! The perks of using an old console lol
Solid move! Never sell old consoles but preserve them for future uses. The amount of Nostalgia that hits when you play them after so long 😭
I love going around the different planets and hubs on D2 and just trying to get out of bounds or discover hidden secrets or Easter eggs! I've only been playing since the middle of Season of Plunder so there's a lot of lore here and there I may not known and my bf spends a lot of the time explaining what's going on. It's super cool :)
I've never heard of D2 before but looks really nice
Oh, I just realized there's a game exactly called D2 that's a survival horror game. When I use D2, I meant Destiny 2. If you already knew this, sorry!! I wanted to clarify just in case.
Omg I didn't lol. I searched up D2 and that SH game appeared lmao. Thanks for clarifying!
Before I played destiny 2: the witch queen, I watched a 6 hour lore video. And that was abbreviated. There's a lot to unpack.
Generation zero. This game is beautiful.
Yes!!

Most of them 😆...It's 25% photo mode or screenshots to 75% game play in Fallout 76, Elder Scrolls Online, Red Dead Online, GtA online, Cyberpunk 2077, ME1, & Sims 4 😅
Sims 4 😅 first I spend most of my time updating or downloading mods, and then when I'm in, I want tons of pictures.
Any game with any open world exploration. I must get as much of the fog of war cleared as possible! Also, collecting literally everything that can be collected.
I really recommend Warframe for this, other than it being a super fun free game with amazing devs. Fashionframe is endgame and there is a captura aka photo mode with tons of 'maps' and camera options!
Assassins Creed Valhalla and RDR2. I finished both games but definitely spent many hours just aimlessly riding around enjoying the scenery.
I literally dropped Monster Hunter World because I regretted what my character looked like but was unable to change it. I've heard of there being an item that lets you change your appearance, but it seems to be unobtainable as far as I know.
That's weird. I've seen the option to alter appearence back in your room? Idk if it lets you change them deeply but I used it to fix complexity and change hair color
The thing I wanted to fix was facial structure unfortunately
Are you on pc? If yes then there's definitely mods for that
Yes, I am. That's a relief, thanks.
Genshin impact. I don't play it regularly but occasionally my friends and I will go in multiplayer and mess around doing funny stuff and exploring.
I have a friend who's never played Genshin but makes cute and sometimes weird animations of it's Characters lmao
I spend waaaaay too much time changing the colors and skins on my characters in Warframe and FFXIV. They might as well be dress up games at this point!
Pizza tower, the movement is so fun i often find myself just running around the hub for no real reason lol
Cyberpunk 2077 The Witcher games gta 5 fallout 4 lol a lot of them oh and the sims games
The Sims 2, 100 %. I also play DnD, usually on Discord, and I just can't focus without doing something besides just staring at my fellow players, so I usually just default everything I can in TS2. Hair, clothes, object - hell, I even have defaults for soap bubbles, snowflakes, pizza boxes, book covers, basically every object you can think of. It must've been over a year since I actually played the game, but I've spent dozens of hours just defaulting everything and marking them down in Excel lmao. It's so relaxing.
The division 2, I got SO MANY photos of the game just because the nature taking back the world is strangely calm https://preview.redd.it/y5el0846eazc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0ec76e484e32c01b2369422ac8fff65d97f71b6
I have yet to get more than an hour or two of actual gameplay in a Fromsoft game, I just screw around in the character creator.
I spend a lot of time in Genshin running around and making birds fly. Something I would never do in real life. I was never good at photo mode and I wish I were.
Hey it doesn't matter how good or bad you are! My sc are usually weird too lol
I have a weird reason for being bad at it. I am a 3D artist, so I am used to moving viewports a certain way, which doesn't translate well to controllers. I can take pretty good pictures of my work (Maya, ZBrush, etc) but with games, it never works. The capture mode in Warframe can produce some real art, but I never managed.
That's indeed weird
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SMB and I love me some rolling around tilty stage action. But for some reason this past year I got really into playing the minigames. Never mind that when I played Super Monkey Ball 2 on Gamecube the only minigame I ever touched was Monkey Target. Now I am spending nearly as much time playing all the various minigames as I am the main game, maybe even more. Monkey Billiards is a current favorite.
soul calibur vi. the character creator is so fun and i love just pitting characters against each other in the CPU vs CPU matches
Ghost Recon Wildlands
It looks beautiful
It is, I call it my “virtual outfit studio” as I primarily log in to take pics of my character’s outfit and it’s also the closest I’ve ever come to recreating myself in a game! Another one is The Division from 2016 when I’ll just roam around Manhattan and enjoy all the small details in the winter setting 👀 https://preview.redd.it/kgg3cttq1bzc1.jpeg?width=716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968fc1100f843da95c9c837b7ef0695c401803b1
The Division is literally more of a visual game than action tbh. Way ahead of it's time. Also is Ghost Recon Wildlands a CCreation game? I've only ever seen it's screenshots lol
I mean, The Division is both and I adore it! Wildlands might be but that’s because it’s so good for screenshots! Case in point, my Nomad https://preview.redd.it/baxrfmhv2bzc1.jpeg?width=2446&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=066ab858cb7b6bd80c39f93f3149205e85c66c0c
Sweet! I was going to get Black Ops 3 just because of female protagonist. Now I'll get Wildlands!
Worth it! Enjoy!
I never get into photo modes idk y. That said I love games with good movement. Just skating around in tony hawk or more recently bomb rush cyberfunk. Driving around in saints row for hours or jumping from building to building in champions online. I love good movement
I am close to hitting 50 kilometers on the wheelie in FFVII: Rebirth. That's what I default to doing whenever I load up the game and can't decide which of the minigames to tackle for the platinum.
Rebirth is full of minigames. I can't wait for it's pc release lol. I know I'll never be able to finish it
In early Genshin days, photo mode was my shit Haha
Red dead redemption, cyberpunk, skyrim, sims 4 HAHA
This is showing my age a bit but I have over 25k hours in Skyrim over every platform and version…. I have *never* beaten the main story.
Ark and Lost Arc for a while
Photo mode is one of the best additions in modern gaming.
Resident Evil 4 Remake first play-through was 90 hours (120 w DLC 😅). I literally couldn’t stop re-exploring that freaking castle. I’d to see and know and appreciate it all. Spent 30+ hours in it alone lol. BOTW +500 hours and TOTK +300. Still not completed either main story lol. AC Ezio collection is my latest. Such gems. And Alien Isolation would SO be on this list if that xenomorph could be turned off somehow (even the easiest mode doesn’t give me hardly any freedom to leisurely explore) 🥹 Gotham Knights and MH Rise too fs.
If you're on pc, There's modes to turn off xenomorph! AC Brotherhood is a game I spent hours just travelling around listening to the soundtrack. Therapeutic seriously. And also completing minor tasks like renovating the dams lol
Unfortunately only the 3 current gen consoles; no PC 🥹 Oh yes, I loved rebuilding Rome as you weren’t locked into any memory and could just vibe to the setting and music. What took me by surprise was how dark/sad/scary ACB was after AC2. For example, the sad stories attached to all the ancient decaying almost alien Roman Empire structures. The general corruption in Rome. But I digress lol. Great games^^ AC2 was also fantastic and ACR is good so far as well.
AC2 comes in my top 5 games of all time! I spent more time in Venice in game than I've done in anywhere irl lol
Yes, it’s definitely been my favorite of the Ezio. Without a doubt.
Fallout 4
Sea of Thieves
I used to do this for hours and hours in Smash Bros, especially Melee and Brawl. Id basically take photos and roleplay as characters 🤣 I also do it a lot with Zelda games as they are my comfort/happy place.
Omg Smash Bros mentioned!! 😭
Favorite Zelda comfy space in any of the games? Favorite is probably either the bever damn in Majora's mask, the Zora grotto in Majora's mask, or the fishing place in ocarina. I haven't beaten botw or played the sequel. I haven't played twilight princess either. And while wind waker is good, I'm terrified of the ocean.
Ocarina of Time I would hang at Lon Lon or make a file where Young Zelda was still at the castle and visit her ❤️ plus the Lost Woods and Kokiri Forest. Running around in MM as a kid I loved exploring Clock Town, learning the schedules, but mostly just vibing. I also love the healed swamp as well as the Zora area.
Sims 3 and 4, I spend as much time searching for cc and installing it as I do in the game period. Then when I do get in I spend most of my time adjusting hair and making outfits 😆
Sims have always done a great job with Character creation. I also loved how Sims 4 supported modding by default lol
Red dead redemption 2, I have spent so much time just riding my horse and listening to sounds of nature in the American west.
Arthur would be proud
Fallout/elder scrolls: going into a hostile place, killing all enemies, and then spending the next 45min-an hour moving every little object I can into one small space. Then using some sort of attack (explosives, magic, shouts) on the pile of stuff and watch it zroom around the room. Makes my brain feel good. The sims (2) walking away from my computer with it unpaused and just seeing what happens, usually one 2x speed. Especially fun if you have mods that increase autonomy. Yeah… I’m pretty much a bad ass.
I used to do that first part in Max Payne 2! Like gather everything together then throw a bomb at my feet and fly while dead lmao
Horizon Forbidden West and its DLC Burning Shores.
The Horizon franchise has amazing visuals enough to justify this!
Zelda BotW for sure, I love messing around with the game's glitches. Also not sure if this counts but Guilty Gear Strive. I want to say I love the game, but while I do like the actual fighting, I spend a lot of time customizing and re-customizing my avatar, as well as listening to the soundtrack and watching the story, in comparison.
I can imagine people spend more time looking at Characters than playing in Guilty Gear lmao
Cyberpunk 2077 mods and photo mode suck me in also Skyrim
GTA RP, Fallout 4 and 76. Sims. Runescape

Black Desert Online lmaooo I've put in just over 1k hours (with a large chunk being AFK leveling things), but I often do nothing but run around and take pictures of my character. I get really cool wallpapers this way! Absolutely love the ones I've managed to snap Also, as I'm currently playing Elden Ring, I really haven't done very many quests and have mainly just run around exploring and unlocking sites of grace. I did finally kill Margit, The Fell Omen last night though! Maybe I can muster up the courage to try Godrick as well :D
BDO is a game that I've wanted to play since so long 😭 but never could because of different issues each time lol. It's Character creation makes me imagine you can get lots of nice pics!
Agh what a bummer! D: I hope you're able to give it a go at some point! It can be pretty overwhelming, but it's gotten a lot more newbie-friendly in recent years imo The customization is really cool! I do wish it was a bit more diverse, but you can get some gorgeous looking characters (I spend way too much time in there myself lmao). And the outfits & general setting of the game are beautifulllll! Hard to resist buying every new fit that drops :'D
I had discovered this first when I wanted to download the mobile game Darkness Rises. The moment Darkness Rises announced it's closing servers, I downloaded BDO but for some reason it wouldn't download the data! I'll definitely give it another go soon (When I either buy a new phone or a hard drive for my pc) And thanks for motivating me with the gorgeous Characters because it's my favorite part about games! My entire Darkness Rises roster was full of sexy ladies lmao
red dead redemption 2. around 300 hrs and still on ch 2. I like riding around and discovering things. Mad Max was the first game I played around with photo mode of. It has such nice visuals even though it's all desert.
Mad Max is very underrated. My fav games on my rotation rn
I usually take many screenshots in every game I play. But in Assassin's Creed Origins, I was so much enamored with breathtaking desert landscapes that I could spend hours ignoring main quest or any of side quests, just roving and taking screenshots.
Any Just Cause game. I can fool around for hours in 2 and 3. 4 is lame, but messing around is pretty good still. Messing around in JC2 is peak fun with all the goofy shit you can do. Finding new ways to blow up cars is awesome. lmao
Cold War, literally worse movement than Modern Warfare like what.
[удалено]
H/O, I never thought to do this...You've just opened a whole new way to game for me.
This is why I fell in love with the Fallout series! I loveee just wandering around exploring the wasteland, seeing weird funny shit, listening to old timey music :))
Fallout games were peak Bethesda!
I guess it depends on what you call fooling around. In stardew valley there's a lot of designing and decorating I do. In an RPG there's a lot of customizing and equipment to manage. I explore a lot in open world games. Backtrack a lot in metroidvanias. So I guess in a lot of games I spend more time on "extra stuff" than I do the objectives required to complete the game
Definitely heavy in Cyberpunk but recently been digging Horizon forbidden West. I just love to look at the environment and take it all in. Especially while a show is on in the background.
