Troll much??? Mod this jerk needs to be perma banned.
What are you talking about troll? There is nothing trolling about that post, at worst it's an unhappy post that isn't praising GT... boy people around here don't take to being called fanboys very lightly but troll sure gets tossed around a lot.
It weakens your view when you make it seems like having damage will suddenly turn people who only want it so they can crash like in NFS into professional drivers.
What are you talking about? I said nothing of the sort... reading comprehension>you...
Lemme break it down for you:
Even top pro drivers collide with things at times, EVERYONE crashes into something if they race enough. Collisions do not mean you are a bad driver, even the top ranked pro drivers have collisions at times. Having damage will not magically turn anyone into a top level driver and the part about people who only want damage to crash like in NFS? That's such a ridiculous statement for the argument I can't even respond to it.
Most people that want damage so it's "more realistic" seem like nothing but wannabe race car drivers to me.
What is that even supposed to mean? Wannabe race car drivers? Is that supposed to mean people who are enthusiastic about race car driving? Like people who would be interested in a simulator?
I am not even sure what the point you are trying to make here is...
"Now you can manage your car's aerodynamics when its front splitter falls off!" Gimme a break, it's like a 25 year old guy goes to take 2 days of karate lessons and then buys himself a Japanese sword and suddenly thinks he's a ninja.
Seriously you are going off the deep end... do you only see the two extremes? You do realize you don't have to be some kind of car genious to appreciate damaged alignment, decreased engine performance and body damage?
GT only needs to nail down driving, all of us crashed a lot when we first began, and if it had damage that made the car hard/annoying to drive, then most would have just put the game down.
Wow... I never even thought of that... great point. That would totally ruin the game... well that does it, damage is out.
I wish someone would think of a way around this, some kind of arcade type mode or some kind of option to turn off damage if you didn't want it... but alas, that will never happen.
Besides, who would want damage that makes the game more challenging... surely people would just stop playing, not actually get better and get more value out of a game with more depth... nah, surely if that kind of thing happened there would already be games with damage out there that have people enjoying them, getting good at them and even getting good reviews!
I've been letting my friend's little brother come over and play GT5 at my house with my G25 wheel, and he crashes, a LOT, but GT doesn't punish him like other racers that pretend to be "hardcore" (see also: tacky, geeky),
I assume you mean GT5P and where I bolded it I think you misspelled "in depth and simulate"
but he still feels bad when he crashes because he ruined a good lap, and because of the fact that he can just keep driving, now he's a lot better than when he first started, I'd say he's better than most drivers on the roads today, even. This would've never happened with Forza or GTR or other games that damage elitists bring up all the time.
Does he feel bad when he bounces off another car and actually gets a BETTER laptime for it despite the fact he should have suffered worse lap time due to damage to his car?
You come to a forum about a game that touts being a simulator and complain that arcade type results are better than sim type? This is amazing... I think this is the first time I have seen a GT fan trollilng a GT forum...
Here's a hint... damage is not wrong for GT, simulators are wrong for you.
Oh is my reading comprehension failing me again? YOu just want to be punished when you mess up so you can pretend to be a race car driver and then hit restart to start the race again, you want your car to wreck forcing you to waste however long you've spent on a race so you can sit in your sofa being subject to punishment that pro drivers get paid money to endure, but for free. XD I'm sure everyone will be very impressed by your heroism.
