Anyone else really love how the game keeps track of your stats?

[Branden_Lucero]

I would totally care. Times I've used my sword or bow, the amount of secrets I've discovered, total time I've played, certain kinds of enemies killed (in number of). That stuff could suit any game (loved it with Meteos).

not for me. that's like freakin' stalker shit there. i don't want a game to record every little thing that i do - where's the freedom in that?

Freedom?! It's still just a computer game. Hardly an invasion of privacy because your stats are tracked in a game! haha

I don't understand how that impedes freedom in anyway.

i like my privacy. why should i have to be monitored daily for every little thing i do. this isn't real life, its a damn video game.

You guys should forget it and keep talking about how you feel about the "records" stuff
If he feels like he's being monitored, it's just his opinion

[Gideon Quinn]

It doesn't impede freedom at all, because nobody else can see your records. Only you can see how many hours you've played the game for or how many times Wesker has kicked your ass on professional. I don't see how that is classed as an invasion of privacy...

Video games already monitor everything you do, it's just that some, like GTA and RE5, have records so you can see them yourself. Tracking the player's movement, progress and actions are a huge part of how video games are coded through triggering events, cut-scenes, loading screens, entering different areas, spawning baddies, altering the dynamic difficulty (if the game has it) or AI reactions of allies/enemies. I can't even imagine what a game would be like if it didn't track and record everything you did.

i love the record system wish they would do it in more games

[Mesker]

Yeah, the record system is awesome. It's fun to see how many hours you've wasted into a video game lol.

Now if it could track how many times I say "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE VOLLEY OF MAJINIGUN FIRE SHEVA! NOW!!! NOW!!!! God dammit this fucking AI" then I think Branden would have a good reason to be worried.

Either way I like this feature, though I don't know how much I'll be referring to it.

I just wanna ask you guys... how many headshots you have with the Px4? Or with the weapon you use the most?

[LVL100 Merchant]

I have most kills with melee attacks (6727 hand-to-hand kills). But I have the most headshots with the Dragunov SVD at 249 (and 1340 kills).

[Rakkoon]

It's great. It's always nice to see how many hours of my life I've wasted on a game.

Exactly.

This is the first stat tracking post that i could find to post on, didn't think it was own-thread-worthy...

But is there a way to check out people on your friendslist's in-game stats?

this isn't real life, its a damn video game.

Yes. Exactly. It is a video game.

If you liked your privacy, and you think a video game's stat tracking impedes that, then surely your presence on this forum alone would contradict that, what with every post you make only lessening your privacy even further?
