Yeah, you just keep banging on about being "highly suspicious of many of these laps", how they're "very unlikely", it's "hard to believe any human did them", and that there's "something going on"...
The reality is that there's nothing going on apart from you not being as fast as them.
Speaking of which...
Suzuka was a Gr2 Daily Race last week and an N300 Daily Race at the beginning of January.
So how did you get from 10+ seconds slower on December 30th to only two seconds slower on February 6th (best case)? As you're convinced other people are "sus", "unlikely", "hard to believe" and "there has to be something going on", it stands to reason you were using cheats to get that much faster. How did you cheat your way to closing that eight-second gap?
Or did you just get better by practising more? Or make up some numbers for your arguments?
Not... really.
All these top "God-tier", "elite few" players who are "miraculously" posting lap times 10, or six, or five, or two seconds faster than you and "boosting out of corners magically" attend these events. They're live, in-person events (up to the World Tour in Sydney in February 2020, thanks to world events after that) where nobody can plug in a cheat device to the control equipment unseen and use magic to be faster than everyone else; the possibility exists in the World Series thereafter, but Sony supplies and monitors all the required equipment and all the replays are captured independently of the players too.
Despite this inability to use their cheats and hacks, they're still faster than you (and me). There isn't "something going on", they're just better at the game.
I'd assume you had a better route and try to replicate it.
Though it only takes me ten seconds to get to work (more if I stop by the bathroom on the way past) and I'd be curious exactly why you were in my house and indeed in bed with my wife.
And again, claiming it's not a level playing field, that using the right tyres is a "trick" and the top times are "BS".
It's so weird that the only plausible explanation is the one you're not open to in any way: you're not as good as you think you are. This often comes as a shock to people only used to racing the AI in Gran Turismo.
You seem to really enjoy this, and can’t help but make my opinion look so ridiculous. Why does it bother you what I think? Your multi-quote innuendo sessions seem to be all you have to offer.
I’m a whiner, slow driving idiot, and just so stupid I should just accept that I’m slow and not post my opinion on a public discussion forum? Is that your point? Cause you’ve made it clear enough.
I’ve stated my times, so I’m not sure what else is confusing. I’ve played this game like 2-3 months, and probably not GT since PS3. Yet back in the day, I couldn’t play GT enough. I’ve raced cars, bikes and been a professional driver (truck) for 12 years, so I know a thing or 2 about driving.
That doesn’t mean I don’t think I could ever be wrong about this game. In fact if you actually look at how I’ve worded my opinion, I’ve stated I’m “suspicious”, and how I have doubts. Obviously from others comments, I’m not the only who’s had those thoughts.
The initial reason I even commented her was to make light at how toxic a lot of the comments were to the OP. Like there was some burden of proof he had to provide, and so many qualified expert opinions on script cheating, yet they have admittedly little knowledge on scripts and cheats/exploits.
Making a script to record your inputs, then stitching them together to have an auto-drive lap comprised of your best corners over time, for example, wouldn’t be all that difficult. And I only have perhaps an above average knowledge of coding.
You don’t need a deep learning super computer to drive ‘perfect’ laps. The game contains the data-sets you need. It’s just as easy to program Alien AI competitors than it is to make ones the average Joe can compete with. In fact it would be easier to do such.
Anyways, I honestly don’t really care who cheats and how. I’m sure it’s a small minority, yet I’m also pretty sure it’s more than a drag racing cheat.
From seeing the stats on COD players, and how hundreds to thousands of people eat, sleep and breathe the game is astounding. No doubt there’s a similar proportion of gamers here.
My apologies for hijacking this thread. In the future I’ll know better to state my opinions and confusions here, and to look for oddities that let you get an advantage over most that didn’t Google for Easter eggs, lol.
