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 enjoyed the ship battles in Assassin's Creed 4 way more than the platforming and main story. I probably spent twice as much time at sea as I did on land.

This was such a good game because the sea stuff was definitely more interesting than the assassins creedy stuff. Letting the men finish their sea shanty before getting into something was always a personal pleasure!
