Before I rush off to save the day...

[Last of the Chinchillas]

Well, I've consulted the almighty and deific Search Bar, but I still feel like this is something that will have been done before. In accordance with that, know that I have a rather sharp knife here to commit seppuku with, should the shame of an unoriginal or annoying thread be too much for me to bear.

What is your absolutely favorite way to screw around in a game, that doesn't necessarily involve messing with the core gameplay?

Punching guards in the face in Oblivion and running away?

Throwing litter at people's heads in Half-Life 2?

Or maybe even the simple pleasure of sitting on a billboard and shooting out people's tires in Crackdown?

 

[Radeonx]

Flying to the top of a building in GTA4, and having a war with the cops.
Or, if someone on my team in Halo or COD4 is pissing me off, I will kill them repeatedly. With fun ways. Like ricocheting bullets off walls, or killing him by bouncing a grenade off of his head and simultaneously killing a nearby enemy.

Shooting Spree in Fallout during Butcher Pete. While I have Very Good Karma.

 

[COR 2000]

Eating people and patsying soldiers in Prototype.

Also, conducting artillery strikes in every single game where available.

GTA IV and Saints Row are both wonderful games for the ADD side of me.
I've spent hours just randomly stealing cars that look cool to me at the moment, only to jump out after three seconds because I saw a cooler one.

Oh, and killing people you aren't supposed to is also quite fun at times.
One more thing: abusing the power that the Cowl of the Gray Fox gives you in Oblivion. Beating people, taking it off, and watching them stop their attack never gets old.

 

[Ibanez887]

Just going on all out rampages in Oblivion
My last one got me half a mil in fines, and the entire guard body of the Imperial city at my heels with only a Golden saint as a ally
I killed every single last one of them, and the guards wont respawn anymore

Fag-draggin off the top of the Empire State Building in GTA4 (using cheats of course)

Fag-Drag definition: When in GTA someone comes to pull you out of your car, you drive off as soon as they touch the door handle, getting their hand trapped and dragging them for a short while until they let go.

 

[Octorok]

Mess with the goons in Batman : Arkham Asylum. That's right... yes... just a few more steps, and then I'll swoosh right past them and laugh as they spin around, shaking with terror. I once kept a room of four guys going for an hour, just stringing one up occasionally, then dropping him on his friend and flying away.

 

[thiosk]

Filling rooms with objects in bethesda games.

For example, in oblivion, i collected skulls. Roleplayed an evil wizard.

In fallout 3?

Plungers.

Every single plunger I found in the game is currently stored in my house.

Shooting Spree in Fallout during Butcher Pete. While I have Very Good Karma.

Which is always particularly entertaining in Megaton. A Nuka Grenade here, an Alien Blaster shot there...

Good times.

 

[Aqualung]

Assassin's Creed:

Kill a civilian. Walk away. Sneak up behind the guard who investigates. Kill him. Walk away. Repeat until the pile is massive.
Then leave the city galloping on horseback, riding over as many people as possible.

Being a douche is fun.

Oh, also, tackling only people who are carrying valuables.

The more freedom a game presents, the easier it is to do, but in Oblivion, I had made through a mod arrows that are like mini nukes. I used them like there was no tomorrow, and just reloaded before I killed the entire population and go on with my life.
In Fallout 3, I just used Mini-Nukes. Usually inside towns or buildings. though I also like the stealth approach of killing everyone in Megaton, only to reload and start playing from scratch.
GTA games should be obvious, get the biggest vehicle you can, and slaughter spree until the army takes you out. In Vice city, that means the tank, turn the cannon 180 towards the rear, and keep firing, gives you extra speed and kills pesky followers.
In in games where I can, I like sniping enemies in the nuts, and making the resulting noises for them. "Oh dear lord no!"

 

[A Weary Exile]

I don't usually dick-around in games, I'm all business most of the time, but when I do screw around I like tearing ass around any sandbox game in a fast car or putting dead NPCs in funny poses in Oblivion.

Is it bad that I did the same thing except instead of plungers it was cigarettes, prewar money, and mutilated limbs?

Lawn gnomes for me. I in fact once shot a man in the head for his lawn gnome.

[The Blue Mongoose]

Red Faction Guerilla. I spend most of this game destroying buildings that have no relevance to any mission... just to watch things explode/fall down... good times!

Scariest thing is that i have a pile of money, a cabinet full of cigs, and a corner full of mutilated limbs in other parts of the house.
