Petition to recognize AlbinoPrairieDog as a 7 Days to Die grandmaster. 10 thousand hours is considered a grandmastery. This man has done that twice over.
Nominate awesome players like AlbinoPrairieDog

Why? You know how easy it is to cheat those numbers? I mean, even without a hack, which is also very easy with Steam, you just let the game run at the menu non-stop. Or you show server hours.
And it really doesn't even mean that much even if the hours are real. The game has been out a decade. I've played the game only since A20.5 and I have probably around 2000 hours, and I don't play much anymore. I'm certainly not someone who is always playing this game and yet I still have a lot of hours.
Besides, when it comes down to it, if you put that many hours into one game, it really has a negative look rather than positive. I won't explain that more because I am not interested in demeaning someone who has put in that many hours. But it really doesn't say much positive about a person.
As far as a reward goes, if they have that played that much, then their reward is a lot of enjoyment for a very low cost, which is a really good reward. Most games don't even get past 200 hours for most people, even when paying $50+ for the game.

It is for this reason that I was unable to cancel my purchase of RDR2. I played for about an hour and fell asleep. Steam counted all my sleep time as a game.

Why would you refund that game? It's a damn masterpiece. Best thing Rockstar ever released in my opinion.
This is exactly why I am not impressed by hour counts. 20000hrs is literally 2.28 years STRAIGHT. Those aren't real hours. That would mean they were playing 5.5 hrs a day since the first Alpha was released.

If the grandkids are not around, what else is Grandpa Minion going to be doing all day?
You are not the first person to write this to me. However, my experience tells me the exact opposite.warmer said:
The beginning of the game, some 10-minute video, it ends, you are given a gun and you need to shoot 3 NPCs, you shoot them, another 10-minute video, it ends, you need to shoot a couple of enemies again, another video. I fell asleep on the 4th video. I didn't see any open world, quest system or any of that in the "game".
I can't bring myself to call this collection of videos a game. And even more so to call it a masterpiece.

Well you stopped in the prologue where they teach you the mechanics and introduce the characters. That is on you lol if you had 10 more minutes of patience the entire game would have opened up.

This is probably my complaint about most Rockstar games. Their interlogues happen too often and last too long at the beginning of games. That being said, the actual gameplay is superb. I would assume since you at least tried RDR2, you played RDR, but if not, it's another I would highly recommend. Probably one of the greatest games I've ever played and, IMHO, better that RDR2.

If Rockstar could just decide what they want their "games" to be: interactive movies or video games. An awful lot of triple A studios seem to be going through this media identity crisis, atm.
RDR2 boasts an wonderful story (told a little too heavy-handedly at times, imo) with wonderful settings and wonderful characters, but can't seem to decide which it wants to be from my perspective.
I bought it; I tried to "play" it; and shortly turned it into a horse ranch simulation. (What can I say? I love horses.) I didn't want to think about how to progress the story in such a way as to not "fail" the missions, which expect specific inputs from the player, while plopping Arthur on his horse and having him roam around the exceptional homage to Nature that is RDR2's "open world", camping out and having fun was quite a different experience.
So, I can see where Suxar comes by the impression s/he does. It's kind of a hybrid of interactive movie and video game. Sometimes I wonder if game developers don't secretly wish they were working in a Hollywood effects studio, like LucasArts, instead of being where they are and doing what they do.
