Agreed. This is a forum for discussion, both positive and negative. Some people treat this as a place where only GT/PD/Kaz worship is allowed. I'm a long time GT fan, I've been playing the series since the very first GT game... yet, I'm bored of GT5. The shallow A-Spec mode, the idiotic B-Spec AI, the lack of driving missions from GT4, the lack of manufacturer events from previous GT games, the lack of decent reward cars for golding events, the grinding required for credits... these all add up to create a game that is not as good as previous GT games.
The physics, graphics and premium cars are obviously better than previous GT games, but what is the point of them when you don't have a cohesive GT mode to use them in? Now, I do find driving fun, but I need a goal, I liked the progression in previous GT games, GT5 just doesn't have that progression and cohesiveness that previous GT games had. GT5 would have been a vastly better game if PD had focused on creating a smaller, more cohesive game with an extensive GT mode, a balanced premium car list, a nice balanced selection of tracks and an all round more quality feel. If GT5 had been like a modern day GT3, it would have been much, much better.
I hang around here because I'm a long time fan of the Gran Turismo series and I'm hoping PD will listen to us long time fans and provide a better GT mode, a more balanced car and track list and bring back the soul of Gran Turismo in GT6.
