Extras that you enjoy more than the game itself

Car customization in midnight Club 3: DUB edition and GTA San Andreas, to a lesser extent. And I'm pretty sure 80% of my played time in Spore involved the design of creatures, vehicles, spaceships, and buildings, rather than actually playing. But, I found it entertaining/satisfying enough to the point of wasting the time on making things of beauty to just sit back and stare at, even if I was the only one doing the staring.

Assuming anyone on these forums has played Hard Love Life, or heard of Hard Love Life, or would be willing to admit to either...

While the normal game is just plain sex, there's actually a version with an extra section, with just you and Chinatsu laying on a grassy hill during a nice day looking up at the sky, while Chinatsu occasionally speaks up. Sure, you can interact with her still (holding her hand, rubbing her cheek, groping her...), but the entire scene is just so peaceful that I love it to death.


Eventually, I will learn how to record video and upload the actual thing. In the meantime, even this calms me.

Tales of symphonia 2:
Game utterly failed to it's parent, but I did indeed enjoy raising the strongest monsters.

Agree and Agree. The first ToS is my favorite game ever, and while I did enjoy the sequel, it just didn't do that much for me. That said, I freaking loved my Fenrir. Adorable little scamp. Not the best monster, but that things saved my life so many times over.

*phew*, i was beginning to think i was the only person on this forum that's played this game

But yes, i did enjoy leveling my monsters, and yes, Tales of Symphonia 1 was much better

High five for the tales series in general Guys!

Nope, you're far from it. I, on the other hand, feel totally alone for playing both and loving both. Yes, the first one was better, but I felt the second one was really good, too.

*high five*

i don't use it more than the main game, but i love the extras for Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence--the special edition with bonus content. i loved all the hilarious self-mockumentary video's they put on that disc!!!!! again it didn't keep me from the awesomely fun campaign, but i just love the pure funny crap they had in that game!!

Does DLC count as extras?
If so, I found the shivering isles of Oblivion to be ten times as fun as Cyrodiil. I hope Sheogorath makes a return in TESV

The first Mercenaries.

I would spend so much time blowing the living shit out of the cities with carpet bombs, bunker busters, artillery strikes, ect.

Nothing tops that.

Dammit clicked on wrong thread. Times like this I wish I had the option to delete my post.

Saints Row 2: throwing people into stuff. Usually waiting by the side of the road and throwing people into cars, but trains are fun too

I'm of the mind the the ability to throw people made that game 100% better. Whenever possible, I made an effort to only kill by throwing people into things.

Any form of customization is played almost as much as the actual game.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is probably the worst though. I mean, you start to create a simple car for a race and you end up with something that looks like a warthog [http://banjo-kazooie.com/showroom/default.htm?ViewType=3&SubID=AE8168CB14096FF7B664], a TIE fighter [http://banjo-kazooie.com/showroom/default.htm?ViewType=3&SubID=5D39DC77140971B5914E], or a pod racer [http://banjo-kazooie.com/showroom/default.htm?ViewType=3&SubID=3C4E4A6F140979A6C2A8].

I enjoyed the mini games in Timesplitter's 2. My friends and I played the snake game for way too long

In the old Spy Fox games, I liked the minigames like the Spaceship or garbage hunter better than the game. Yes, I know.
