That's a problem in every online game on Steam and always has been. Play hours are just an easy way to see how dedicated to the game you are and get a quick idea of how long you've been playing. I'd even rather be on a team with a guy who has 500 hours rather than someone with only 20. However...

Things that advance the story, make your characters better, or learn about your characters' personalities or learn about the world you're in. That's exactly what I just said and I really don't know how else to explain it.

Quests that mean something. I don't consider driving around spraying shit on houses to be very important to the plot or game. In Grand Theft Auto V, one of the collectibles unlocks a mission after you collect them all. Doing running races increases your stamina. Doing car races increases your...

I want to get off this hype train now but it won't stop. Full steam ahead.

I'm not just talking about glitches, I'm talking about content.

Ok, well in that case Saint's Row has absolutely nothing to do of value outside of side quests and those don't really affect anything at all. I was just talking about any open world game. But yeah if you wanna talk about GTA clones, Mercenaries only gives you things to blow up and Mafia II...

I just try to look at things objectively because "I had fun" isn't a very good reason to recommend a game. I personally love RPGs, but I'm not about to recommend Persona 3 to someone who only plays Call of Duty or something. Whenever I try to review or recommend something, I think about the...

Far Cry 3 is a great example. Sure, you can run around this huge island, but why would you? The only reason to explore is to find radio towers, which just reveal more of the map, and take over bases. I guess there's hunting too but nothing like GTA. Assassin's Creed is another example, where the...

It's funny how you call me a fanboy. First off, this is the first GTA game I've ever purchased. I've never even played any of the other ones for more than half an hour. I liked Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire, but that would hardly make me a fanboy. You won't even go into anything else I say...

It's simply fun. Maybe running around an enormous open world with tons of interesting and varied missions all while being backed by hilarious dialogue isn't enough for you and that's fine. It's mostly the exploration aspect that gets me. While the story keeps me interested and is actually really...

It's interesting how when Yahtzee doesn't want to like a game, he brings up plot points that he doesn't particularly like and focuses on them. He did the same thing with the Last of Us. Honestly, I miss the days when Zero Punctuation was about criticizing games due to actual issues with the...

Probably so the friend that wants it will actually buy the bundle and donate to charity. But you know.

It's kinda funny how a bunch of low budget indie games being sold for a price chosen by the consumers with no DRM can sell this much. Games industry, take notice. When you're nice to the consumers, they will buy your stuff. Plus the fact that a lot of this money is going to charity is just...

Yeah I've bought nearly every single Humble Bundle so far and I think I'm gonna say that this is the best one yet. That's just so many great games and I hit the jackpot because I didn't have any of these but have been very interested in all of them. Plus, it's for a good cause. Come on guys.

No, I remember. I was one of those waiting patiently for the disappointment that was Diablo 3. My point was that they have actually had some big releases in the past couple of years, not that they started development and completed them.
