James2097Anyways, big ups (massive ups, GINORMOUS UPS, HUMUNGOUS UPS!! -ok I'll stop there) to anyone who A-specced it all the way!
Thaks for that paragraph. I have been considering creating a thread along the lines of who wants to try completion with out bspec. This would seem to be the real challenge?
Many of us will have driven and completed the game using both modes.
I finished in about 4 months in Australia as well, but didnt use the bspec guy at all.

foghorn, I have been thinking about doing it in A-spec all the way for my second 100%. I am trying to gold all the licenses ATM whilst I decide if I shall start again or move on to the next game (F1 05 or V8 supercars 2).
The problem with doing a game in A-Spec (for me) is that it took me about 5 months to do it the first time around and I am not sure I can handle not seen 100% in the status screen anymore! ;-)

Well this is my first post on gtplanet.... I got 100% and I just bought the game 6 weeks ago. heh heh Yeah... I bspec'd the endurances because I am in university, and have a responsibilty to grad and I also want to have a life at the same time. heh heh... I think we could all beat the game with 100% since the bspec driver sucks anyhow..... and besides it would just be a sick waste to aspec the entire freaking game. So how come some people have 585 trophies.. while others have over 600 trophies? I got 688 trophies right now... is that from winning a certain event over and over to win cash with some prize cars? ... which I did. heh heh. I am just checking out the posts from ya'll and I get the feeling half of you are lying about gettin 100%. I dont see how some of you get over 25,000 combined aspec and bspec miles in less than 1400 days and get 100 percent too. That just doesn't make sense. Anyways... can someone explain why some of us have more trophies than others? thanks

100% in two and a half weeks? Is that really possible? With the legnth of all the eight to twenty four hour races, as well as the difficulty of the Missions... I'm thinking it would take some serious luck to nail ALL of those on the first try. Even with great talent at driving and playing GT4, a person still needs the right car with right set up. Perhaps I missed a post some where explaining how this was done, but i'm thinking it's not completely honest.
However if 100% can be reached in such a short time frame, from the moment you bring the game home. Without the use of a GameShark, or some other sneaky method.... then my hat is off to all with god like talent! (hope I never come accross them if GT ever goes online..
) lol

I doubt if I'll ever be able to get 100% game completion. I can't seem to get past race 11 in the Driving Mission Hall. I have the first section of it done and have recieved the first prize car. I have about 4 other random one's done too around the middle. I think having a one of those steering wheel type controllers, which I'm sure most of the GT hardcore people have, would make this a lot easier. The Driving Missions are the only barrier I can see to completing the game for me. I have finished all the Manufacterer races, National events, Beginner and Professional races and am currently half way through the last event in the Extreme hall. I have only two 24h races left in the Endurance Hall, which I just haven't bothered to B-Spec yet. Oh ya and I have only two Hard snow races left in the Special Conditions hall which I'll do after I finish the Extreme event I'm currently in. I have all Bronze licenses, I can't even begin to concieve getting Silver or Gold there, it's just too frustrating, even though I'd like the prize cars. I have completed 91% of the game. Those Driving Missions are going to haunt me forever it seems.

congrats to all the dudes that have completed gt4 👍
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm close to 90% - I've completed missions 1-10 and 21-25, but the rest of the missions are just too difficult. The three lap battles are all rotten nightmares, and the single lap showdowns are just as bad PLUS I refuse to race them on principle because PD so completely screwed up their execution (forcing you to wait at the starting line... total BS). And I have done every normal race except for the Speedster Trophy, the two ice races on Hard, and Cathedral Rocks II on Hard. I also have mostly bronze medals... I have about half silver on domestic B and a single gold, but again, I can't imagine ever being able to gold all of them. Maybe silver on the two domestic licenses, but that's about as far as I can realistically get.AutomobileI doubt if I'll ever be able to get 100% game completion.

Right now I'm just focusing on obtaining as many cars as possible. I have nearly 700 cars. I've bought all the production cars that are available, both new and used, so all I have left are most of the expensive race cars, the few prize cars for the races I haven't completed yet, and the cars you get as a reward for the licenses and driving missions (which, like I said, I'll probably never be able to do).

But that's the whole point of one lap magic...if you all started at the same time you'd be a long long way ahead and it wouldn't be a challenge. The execution of 1 Lap Magic is exactly spot on...and whilst they seem daunting, trust me, they're do-able...infact I did those before I even did half the others (except M34...that had to wait).
Keep it up and you'll get quicker and close until you finally do it.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=165
There you'll find hints, tips and a few videos on driving and licence tests (When you see the videos and find out that they can be done it does boost confidence and make it seem easier)

No, the point of one-lap magic is to come from behind. They should start all the cars at different points. Give the other cars a rolling start maybe. The idea is that you should not be forced to wait 30-120 seconds as a handicap - they should just start the other cars partway down the track. It's really stupid that they make you wait. It goes against the most important, central principle of game design, which is to keep things fun. Sitting and waiting isn't fun.<_Spike_>

No it's not fun, but you can't expect every single tiny thing about the game to be easy/fun. The annoyance of waiting for up to two minutes will be exchanged for sheer satisfaction that you can say "I've done these missions at last".
Why do you think they give you a car that is, overall, much more superior to the first placed car. A staggered start from a stand still would basically give no difference, you'd still have to come back from a fair way back, even further back to compensate for your faster acceleration from a stand still.
As for rolling starts, again, it would be too easy unless you were a long way back *or* the cars were more equal, which would then make it nothing more then another race and not much of a special mission.

Gotta agree with Luca... apart from the later Driving Missions seeming nearly impossible to me, it's a royal pain in the arse to sit there for 90 SECONDS waiting for the start. Just give me a three count with the cars already at the point on the track they are after 90 seconds, and compensate for my acceleration... duh. 
Speaking of the missions... how in the %#$@ do you get closer than 2nd place and 7 seconds out with the 2000 GT in New York?

I've been redoing license tests and so far I've gotten all silvers on B, A, and iB, and five silvers on iA. Doing these was fun and satisfying. The game creators should never force a situation in which you are agonizingly bored and frustrated for no good reason. Getting those silver medals was very satisfying to me, and I didn't have to wait 90 seconds to retry when I made a mistake.<_Spike_>
The job of the game creators is to make sure it's the proper difficulty. It doesn't matter if it's a staggered rolling start, a staggered standing start, or a standing start with a delay for each car. It would take them just as long to figure out how to time it if they used an alternate starting method. Look at the 3 Lap Battles - those are all rolling starts, yet they're not overly easy either.<_Spike_>
I don't personally see how anyone can defend PD's decision to make you wait forever and then some for the later missions to start. It's a dumb idea and there are no (that's ZERO) good reasons for doing it that way. Like I said, if changing it to a rolling start made it easier, they could just move the other cars farther ahead.
Anyway, I'm at around 92% now, and I've won every single prize car other than some of the ones for the license tests and missions. I also have bought all but 11 of the purchasable cars... I'll need about another 31 million credits to finish those.
As for the missions, yeah, I don't think I'll get any farther than I already have, sadly. The ones I haven't completed yet are an order of magnitude more difficult than the license tests. I'd be happy with all silvers, personally... then maybe I'll be better able to take on some of the missions.

I'll simply say...what you've said has been said before, but people still do it, why? Because they're happy to sit through 90 (yes 90 seconds, a massive big whopping chunk of time out of your life) to get to 100%. Simple thing is, if you're not happy to sit there and just get on with it *shrug* don't try.
Once you complete M34, you'll forget what you were b*tching about and wonder why the big fuss, heck when I did it after 50 odd tries over a year I was jumping around as if my team had scored a winning goal in the FA Cup final
And the other missions with a rolling start...look M1-33 are on one level, M34 is on a completely different level so why should it be anywhere near as easy as the others

I'm going to put my vote in for the waiting being rediculous. Now i'm not being nasty or anything here but if you have enough time to wait to play a game then good on you. But there are a lot of ppl that simply cant waste said time sitting around bein ghappy to have to re do the unsuccesfully try yet again because you wasted yet another 1.5minutes waiting instead of racing and getting the skills up in the limited time you have to play to begin with.
This is a game... if i want to fast forward to the "play" part then i should bloody well be able to... hehe
Anyways, i get joy from completeing difficult things. Its more so about time then anything though. If i dont have timei cant play at all. And as everyone knows... when it comes to games like this time is of the essence... if you dont spend lots of it playing you wont get the drive time to get the skill to progress. Kind of a catch 22 for anyone with half a life (and gosh i miss not having a life and being able to play at least a few hours a week lol). I've got not much percentage complete. Unfort in the last 12 months i've not had much of a chance.
Well done to you guys that managed it. I look forward to when i get there! (hopefully GT4 will be on the PS3 and that will spur me into being able to play it again, playing it on my 2405 24" LCD after playing PGR3 and others, is very deterring. hehe))
