What ways have you found to not do what the game wants you to do?

    Mario 64. Tick Tock Clock. Wait until the clock hand is pointing at 12 and the level freezes.

    Probably not quality cheese, but the first one I ever encountered in a video game.

    I have a habit of killing everything in an area before I figure out how to proceed.

    Currently playing some Total War Warhammer. One of the things present in all Total War games is that you can increase your fortifications to make defending a city easier. If you don’t have a fort, it’s supposed to be relatively easy for an invading army to take an undefended town. However, Vampires in Warhammer get Bats as one of their garrison units and many of their towns are in forested areas. So, you can hide the bulk of your troops in the woods and fly around the map kiting the attacking army until the timer runs out. It doesn’t drive them off, but it does buy time to bring in reinforcements.

    In my head, I’ve framed it as the Vampires disappearing into the woods to use guerrilla tactics. Especially since I’ll use the Bats to take out any weaker units that get caught on their own. There was one battle where the invading army had enough artillery to eventually take out my Bats, but I happened to have some Hexwraiths (ghost calvary) which I had pop in an out of the woods to repeat the process. They took out like 5 artillery batteries before the timer ran out. I was just imaging this terrified army trying to clear some haunted woods as ghosts kept pouring out where they least expected it and attacking undefended units.

    As much as I make heavy use of the tactic and managed to frame it as RP, it’s definitely not what the devs intended.

    This pixel rpg game where the assassin character I was playing can turn invisible,has extra damage when attacking while invisible, mana regen skill, and an empowered attack.

    The bosses in the game are the usual repetitive and predictable boss fight. Also the AI would just wander around after not seeing me for an extended period of time.

    So I’d just rotate going invisible,empowered attack, activate regen while doing everything running around. I’d just rinse and repeat until the boss dies. I was even able to use it for the end stage bosses even with the mid level crap equipment I have.
