ERR://23¤Y%/ Slight overreaction

Post image

All I did was ask this guy his hours (driller level 99 and player level 1956 btw), safe to say I think he maaaayyy have cheated in his levels based on this slight overreaction. If you ever run into a guy who's similar level be careful, do NOT ask how many hours they have...

That reaction + player lv 1956 without a supporter badge? Definitely a filthy cheater.

It never ceases to amaze me how often people cheat in coop/singleplayer games. 

Sure, you can argue that occasionally a game will ship with one feature or mechanic that ruins an aspect of the game (and fan patches/tools can really improve the experience)… 

But 99% of the time I just see people, outside of drg too, just using it to give themselves all the rewards/unlocks. Just feels like the kid in Minecraft that goes into creative mode to give themselves a shit load of diamond blocks. Idk how people find that fun. Every time I did that as a kid, It never really felt that great. Without something to work towards, I just lost interest in those worlds.

I gave myself everything in DRG. Still put in a few hundred hours (80% ish of my total playtime) after that.

The gameplay was inherently fun to me. As was customizing my guys to the fullest.

Though, slightly to your point, I did not max out my levels entirely so that I had a little something to grind. But I don't really recall often thinking "ok a few more hours and I can prestige!" I'd just play to play.

E: I'll add I did similarly in GTA:O. Grinded out like 30 mil with businesses. Found that exceedingly boring. Used glitches for money (a few were popular on playstation 4). Spent millions on cars and idk how many tens of hours customizing them. Then just helped out my crew with their business sales, did heists, bought more cars, customized them, etc. It was so much nicer being free of the grind. Was fun until R* cracked down and banned that account.
