Thread 723694091

Why do so many video-games give the player the ability to walk when most players are gonna be running at all times? Take Half-Life 1 for example. Why would anyone ever use feature for any reason? Is it literally just to appeal to a tiny fraction of lorewalking RPing autists? That's such a niche thing to design a whole feature around, but so many games do it

running feels better when you have the option to walk
simple as

Stealth, areas with small spaces where you have to be careful in, etc.

to listen to the soundtrack

unless it's toggled, walk brings added difficulty, challenge, and maybe improve movement, i do this is in quake because it's a great way to practice bhopping.

I'm accustomed to using the walk button frequently and I would miss it if I didn't have it as an option. Even in games where there's no gameplay reason to use it it's nice to have a bit of extra control over your movement.

In my game, player can run / dodge, but it uses stamina and he has to walk until it recharges. Energy a managed resource.

I like it when games force me to walk and have their environments designed accordingly. Walking feels like shit when the game is open world slop that has you going through miles.

I like to walk when I'm playing games with great atmosphere.
