How many of us have actually conquered GT3 & 4 and now are waiting for GT5 or have become bored & are anticipating a new sense in driving realism that we haven't experienced in the prior GT series? when I say conquered, I mean every last Nth, all Gold cups, & 100% game completions. Thanks
 
if i can recall GT3 i had about less then 80% completion with like 5 gold medals haha... and GT4 all gold medals :D :D :D but i think now 81% ( haven't check after few races)

i did not conquered both yet :( but i guess i will at least GT4 by the time full GT5 will come out :)
 
I've been meaning to go back to GT3 and 4 to finish them off, but the lure of Prologue - and on occasion, Forza 2 - is just too strong. However I intend at some point this year to go back and cover some old games on the PS2, 1, Dreamcast and Saturn that I haven't visited for a while.
 
Back in GT3 I "conquered" 100% of the game and 48 gold licenses, back then I had fun racing against the AI and against myself.

In GT4, and althought I golded every license test and missions races, I didn't feel the need to race against that empty AI, so I just reached 50% of the game or so, the rest of my "GT4 experience" was online, I found it more challenging.

In some ways, I feel GT5P is about the same as GT4 in some aspects, the "races" against the AI are mere time trials with moving obstacles, fake difficulty, because starting last of the grid and in one lap overtake 15 cars sure is pretty difficult, but that's not racing at all. Just driving around an empty track, especially with the new phisycs, is more pleasant than franctically trying to overtake a billion cars moving around like robots.
 
In this respect I could be called a GT Master, however I am of the opinion that you can only consider yourself a GT Master if you a WRS regular performer and as a result I cannot consider myself a GT master.
 
The bots in Prologue are hardly mindless drones. But if you like being bashed around, you must be loving Prologue in Japan. If you want that same violent experience offline, I suggest Forza 1 and Toca Race Driver 3. ;)

I don't know about you, but in those "start 16th finish first" races I always find the AI in the very same places they hardly race each other, I even found that sometimes is better to be one or two of tenths slower so they don't get in your way in critical corners.

As for GT5P online experience, it plain sucks. Unless they add private arenas, I won't bother anymore.

I used to race via xlink kai with some serious clean and fast racers (the current spanish Gran Turismo champion, subchampion and former champion, third, fourth, fifth... and so on) and comparing that experience with the oficial online mode is useless, and I think we both agree in this one.
 
have completed gt3 100% and gt4 100%several times...(the last time i did that it whas becoming a bit boring and easy!)am now racing gt5p only and am waiting for the final relaese....am allready very happy with the new experience in gt5p and am sure gt5 will be even more fantastic...its just such a loooooong wait...pfffffffff
 
I would hardly say that completing any GT game to 100% makes you a master. I doubt any hardcore GT player would agree to that. Rather instead it is the depths that GT die hards will go to experience as much as possible with the game. This could mean anyone that a-specs all the 24 hour races or perhaps a-spec 200 point champion. For me in GT2 it was finding and seeing how many cars could be "R"-modified. For GT4 at the moment when I have time racing say 5 to 8 laps in arcade for a-spec points with forced pit entry on is my current challenge. Let me say it is also very challenging and fun when going for 50 or more aspec points.
 
All licenses gold since GT1, raced fairly competitively in OLR events up until a bit after GT4 came out, though my complete percentage is in the high 90% for both GT3 and GT4. Reason? The races are freaking boring. I only just got the FGT a few months ago, didn't want it further ruining the fun. I've taken a good chunk of cars to the 'Ring to get a rough personal timeboard too.

Oh, and in a competition between a dozen different universities in Ontario/Quebec two years ago, I walked away with first place; a year's tuition. There are definitely faster people out there, but that's my personal highlight.

Beating all the races hardly makes one a "master", since other than a few bug-related difficult races in GT2, someone could just enter an over-powering car and win them.
 
I've finished GT2, 3 & 4. I'm trying to finish 4 again, currently 70.9% done. :) (Hoping to get a DFP soon, I'm sick of using a gamepad to drive :grumpy:).

But I only have a few gold passes in each game, so I certainly wouldn't call myself a gt master.

i think beating mission 34 alone in the NTSC version, along with all golds in the S license, makes you a master of the game.. playing for aspec pts just makes you a fan ha. which is what ive done too - i think i have about 40k points
 
i never finished the license tests in gt3. i was late to the ps2 party. gt4 was coming shortly by the time i got a ps2 so after a week or so of gt3 i traded it out for something else. dont remember what...

i finished 100% of gt1, the max of gt2, 98.6% or whatever it is, and 100% of gt4. and for once in my life i have a console within a year of its launch (got my ps3 august last year) so i will be ready to get gt5 on its release date.

i wonder if they will have missions like they did in gt4

what could the new mission 34 be??? :eek:

a lap around the nurb in a 599 with no aids, trying to catch (among others) a '62 250 GTO with a 3 minute head start.
 
GT 3 completed 100%
GT 4 gave up as i though it wasnt a patch on 3.......
Prologue 100% every car and money maxed out!!!!100.000.000.
