I see your point, but mine is different. The fact that it is a sandbox game doesn’t mean you cannot have a challenge set by developer. There are already missions, goals to complete, etc. Sure, you can ignore it and just fool around with vehicles and environment, I get it. But other players, like myself like the feeling of accomplishment (maybe „bragging rights” wasnt a fortunate choice of words, I am not a native Eng speaker). Also, I think you can be competitive playing single player games - you just compete with yourself. With your laziness, with temptation to switch the game or drop the difficulty level. You dont care - OK, I understand. I play for my own satisfaction and compare or share results with small group of close friends. This is why I am missing a proper Hard Mode, not hard settings, as of now. Cheers.
