I have a bad habit.

When I get a game where you can roam around freely (need for speed most wanted) I almost never race and spend all my time driving around, learning the map, and stuff like that. Is this a bad?

It's a game. Have fun.

You'd probably enjoy Spin Tires or 1nsane racing.

That's always what I do in GTA games. I'll drive down every alleyway, subway tunnel, enter-able building, and every square inch of wilderness.

Ditto. I spend 90% of my time in Watchdogs just driving around.

I do that all the time. Mostly in Forza Horizon.

That is called Recon.

That was always the most wonderful thing about the GTA series. Once I completed the missions, I would still get years of enjoyment out of those games.

I spent 90% of my time in GTA V jumping sports cars off mountains at top speed.

Seems more productive than what I do in open world games like Saints Row, GTA and Elder Scrolls.

Which is kill everyone and steal everything in sight.

Guilty. Hey can I jump off this, bounce off that and land my car up there?! 200 attempts later. Nope.

Plus games like Most Wanted reward you with new vehicles by snooping around.

That game has one of the best NFS maps I've ever seen.

Have you poked around the city and spotted any of the business names?

There's one that's based off of 7-Eleven, and shares it's name (but not logo) with the parody of the same name in Grand Theft Auto.

I was at my friends house and we were playing watch dogs. All I really was interested in was driving, he wanted me to do other things.

Thanks. I'll look those up.

Yes. I just wish it was more realistic. I feel that the turning of the cars isn't real enough. High speed runs on the highway are awesome.

Alex B > carcrasher88
08/06/2014 at 12:15

Yes. I have. Little "Easter eggs" like that makes a game.

I agree. It's awesome to see things like that.

Especially when some of them ended up on special paint jobs in the DLC packs, like the 24-Seven livery for the E46 M3 GTR.

Kinja'd!!!

That's (more than) half the fun for me. That's why I rather enjoy open world games. I get bored of objectives a couple hours in and just wander around for the next ten. GTA games are great for this.

the highway races were pretty intense. The crash physics were a little too difficult as the slightest tap into something would wreck your car. Sure its more realistic but I'm playing a game that makes me race through cities, I want fun. Also why we're there so many right angled objects jutting out into the tracks to get caught on and wreck. Nobody needs that many concrete benches and flower boxes!

I know! I make many trips to the repair shop because of this.

I know the GTA 4 map like the back of my hand for that very reason

Do you play on PC? I could join you in the game if so.
