The immaturity level of some of your responses is really quite amazing. You seem to do ok when you are making speeches, but as soon as you are challenged on any of your wilder assertions, you drop several birthdays and devolve several levels of maturity. Quite fascinating really.
And people wonder why amar212 began posting news tidbits in NeoGAF instead of here...
Sounds to me like you're making an exit strategy to go take up residence at NeoGAF. In that case, 👍👍
So you're not moving to NeoGAF?Not exactly.
But I'll go ahead and say that, in fact, yes I do know something about it, because people PMed me about how bad this place had become, and even the unfavorable slant from certain mods here. On occasion I'll still get PMs on PSN about how they peek in from time to time and see it's the same old poopfighting they left behind. I'll get kudos for toughing it out here, and one good laugh from a friend at the grousing over the return of Standard content to GT7. My autocrossing relative who shall forever remain nameless, says that it's not worth it to get caught up in stupid board politics.
Now you guys can pretend that this is just good clean fun all you want, and that GT Planet is a bright sunny playground. But it's a playground with quite a number of bullies in it. I think it's quite strange that a board devoted to one game has people afraid to post favorable things about that game because they just don't need the derision cast at them from some of the members here. Should be quite the opposite.

Certainly would look a lot better than GT's "infomercial," which will likely consist of bad sounds, bad AI, and non-existent racing, but that's okay because "I like it therefore everyone should grow to like it as well."
While I don't quite feel the love the GRID fans do, I would like to join in on the chorus of those wanting more racing essence in Gran Turismo. There are contributing factors in GRID like the practice sessions - which really should be longer than 10 minutes, but hey. Qualifying has been AWOL from GT For a few games now. And one major thing which has also been missing from GT6 are tight fields, which is the one thing I do miss from GRID. Other than that, rules and penalties like PC sims have? I wouldn't mind that.
Ummmm..... 99% of which I won't even read the description on they look so horrible......
Anything at all that increases the content of the A spec /single player aspect of the game will get my vote everytime, since that is the only part of the game I play. WITH ONE PROVISO. That all races , no matter how easy or difficult, are open to everyone who buys the game from the beginning. No more padlocks. No more forcing me to race karts or rally stages, no more time trials , licence tests, or knocking down cones which must be completed to open more content. Let me and everyone else who buys the game enter ANY race whenever we want to.
Not exactly.
Sure.
I'm not sure how that would work in single player. Arcade I could see, where every car could be available. Maybe you mean that the only restriction in GT Mode is that you have to acquire an appropriate car. But I really doubt that GT7 is going to break that tradition, and it's popular game design in too many racing games to boot.
You left out Blacks, Hispanics and AsiansSure.
I have only hung out with
And if there's a group left, I bet I've hobnobbed with them too, and many have been friends. I've often disliked what they've said, and they sure haven't been Bo Peeps, but we've eventually agreed to differ on many subjects. But there's one big difference between them and a number of people here.
- Gays
- Liberals and Communists (a couple)
- Occultists and New Agers
- Atheists and Fundamentalists
- Jews and Muslims
- Hindus and Buddhists
- Hell, I work in the Obama administration
They know how to hush up. State a case and move on.
There are a few people here who won't stop dragging their grouches through the boards endlessly. Been in the Standard car threads recently? Yes you have. Visited the sound threads? Yes you have. Besides, if people can lie routinely about the quality of the car sounds, I really can't see why it's unusual to remark unfavorably about the toxic atmosphere such members foster.

The problem with a linear career mode is time and frankly boredom. Not everyone wants to race Vitz's and econoboxes for hours just so they are allowed to race a proper racing car. IMO the game would better serve it's entire customer base by allowing us to pick and choose where we would like to start our career and let us jump around to do the things we really like and look forward to, instead of forcing everyone to follow a single, predesigned career path.
Options, they are a wonderful thing.
So did GT2. (I would love to play GT4, but my PS2 won't read it.....) But the point remains. Some people don't want to bother with them, so if they do like arcade (I don't that much), they can still have access to the entire game if they can finish a championship. They can obviously drive THAT well!
That is true, and I thought I should edit that after I posted it - and promptly fell asleep.You left out Blacks, Hispanics and Asians
Crawled into bed early when I woke up. This has been an exhausting year. But will anyone complain about a lack of options? I doubt it. In any case, I think everyone has had their say on this.
Behold the future:Take Project CARS. Do you really think you'll go from karts straight into something like a Miata Cup OR FIA GT racing with McLarens and Aston Martins? I'm betting that won't be the case, that it'll be something like GT4 or 6. This is supposed to be a career based game, after all, and I'm unaware of any job where you can go from being the mailboy to the boss in a few days. And I sincerely doubt you'll care if it's an arduous ordeal to get from karts to FIA GT because you'll be all "P CARS! WEE!!" And I could be the same way, especially after GRID soured on me within a couple of weeks. Besides, it should be something of an ordeal. It takes years for most racers to go from racing sports cars to LeMans Prototypes. Well, with GT Academy winners, at least a year.
I think your shortcoming here is you can't see outside your own little box. A career mode is an important element in the game, but a full career won't appeal to everyone so why not let people jump around and race how they want, when they want? Options. Want to start in a beater and progress like a real career? Go for it. Want to skip the beaters because you've been racing them for 15 years and really want to race that great sounding and handling BMW Z4 GT3 you've been seeing in previews? Go ahead. A linear career mode, even partially so, should be an option. Forcing people to slog through something they don't want to do doesn't enhance the appeal of the game. It'll be an "arduous ordeal" as you characterized it, instead of the fun challenge you would look forward to every day.I think this is where a linear thinking path limits the vision one has for the game. This is an easy problem to solve. Options. Want a full career path? Good, go for it, and it comes with all the required license tests. Don't want a full career mode and want to skip the license tests? Good, go for it. Allow me to play the game my own way that brings me the most enjoyment and you play the way that brings you the most enjoyment and voila, we're both happy. License tests to me personally are not enjoyable in the least as they sit now. They aren't challenging and they aren't fun, so why would I want to do them for the 7th time? Leave them for the beginners or those that really enjoy them and let the rest of us get on with the racing.
