Well, I'd say only an idiot would decide to buy a game or not through review scores alone, no matter how many.

I really believe PD are shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing a demo. In this generation, you don't have to rely in questionable reviews and scores anymore. Download a demo and experience the game by yourself. Casual gamers have gotten used to downloading demos to help them decide if they'll buy a game. And believe it or not, casual gamers are the great majority of GT buyers.

Do you realize just how few games actually get a demo on PSN? I think you would be suprised by just how few there are. For example the game I have put the most hours into on PS3 is 'Fallout 3'.......good thing I didn't wait for a demo before I decided I wanted to buy it based on the 90/100 score it got on Metacritic or I would still be waiting.

Why not trust a large average of review scores.....they after all get to review the entire game. How much of the game do you think a PSN demo would contain. 1 track and 5 or 6 cars......Could you really form as good an impression of the game from that as a large number of reviewers could from trying the full game.

I seriously doubt it.

As others have said.......if you simply HAVE to play the game before you decide to buy there are plenty of ways to rent it when it is released (just as I am doing with F1 2010 to see if I think it's worth buying).......or there are plenty of stores you can try the demo in......or you could wait for a good average of review stores........or you can buy the game and if you dont like it return it for another......

He did make a new name, which got banned.
I'm not sure why he did it or if it was him making the 2nd, almost identical, name.



Your link is bad. Seems to be a fad on the GTP.

Huh , I just copied it from the last page, seems not to work. Anyways, look last page up, there it works.

@ Dave_sz Thanks, it's fixed.

Whaaat :( SrRd was like the guy i talked to most on here, that's a damn shame :(

It is indeed a shame when a member decides the rules don't apply to him.

However, this is not the place for discussing it. I'm not replete with suggestions as to where the place to discuss it is, but bear in mind the last moderator to edit the Banned User Log is Jordan...

I'd suggest you e-mail SrRd if you like talking to him, since there's very little chance of him being allowed back.

Exactely my thoughts. Is he able/allowed to re-register as a new member under a different name? Would be cool, he was a great guy here, but somebody thinks else...
Click to expand...

I recall his name, and that usually only happens when someone contributes in a positive maner to the forum.

But, mods are very, very, very, very patient and fair here. So you should trust them to have given him plenty of chances. I'm sure they did not do it lightly hearted. He must have broken plenty of rules...

EDIT: sorry Famine, was already typing :( please delete if think wise
 
Are we certain it was him who made the 2nd account and not someone trying to get him banned for good, he's smarter than that. Though I'm sure you guys ran an IP check.
 
Yes. We're sure. Though "2nd" underestimates it somewhat. I'll add that he wasn't banned for making a second account - that'd be excessive - but that his new account was banned by virtue of the fact he was previously banned (and why).

No, I assumed that was the case.
 
Hmmm, I guess Standards wont look as bad as some of us Thought...💡

Ah gotcha.
I never understood why people made 2nd accounts when their primary ones would've been unbanned. It's not hard to just log out of the forum and browse as a guest. I know not being able to post is a pain at first but a day into it and you almost forget about it. I would know.

Yeah, because we can see so much detail from that small picture. :rolleyes:
Oh, you do know those have been posted before, right?

There is this place called a "video store" where you can go and barrow movies and video games for a short period of time. Or you can rent it from Gamefly.

I live in Norway. You can't rent games here. And everyone I know is not going to buy a copy of this game.
 
Whatever SrRd did, I doubt it was terrible enough for him not to eventually be allowed one more chance to redeem himself. Just my opinion, anyway.

Also, if that car is a standard, then I'd say we have nothing to worry about.
 
That 240Z looks pretty good, though for me, half the fun in driving cars such as that is in seeing what the cockpit is like...

Since the confirmed car thread has been locked, I might as well ask here; has the BMW M6 been shown at all?

Th thread is locked but you can still see the list which is very up-to-date. If the car isn't there, which it isn't, then it hasn't been seen.
 
If a respected member gets a ban, is it always permanent? I understand that would be the case with new and ignorant member like me. But could the ban be temporary, if it is a respected senior member, who afterwards also apologises for violating the rules?
 
You don't get banned without warning(unless you do something royally stupid). I'm sure he was given a chance or two.

Here's a thread with some more info on the Banning process.

No, but making a 2nd account right afterwards is good way to make it permanent.

What if all those chances were given within a day or two. Cause I know plenty of people who get there accounts banned because of a friend/relative going on their account and.. You know...

He was a nice guy, but it would be a shame if it wasn't his fault.

Hopefully he can come back.
 
He is banned. It was his own fault. He will not be allowed back. Can we get back to discussing GT5 generally now please, as per this post:

It looks about the same as in GT4 to me. Larger screenshots are needed.
The only improvements are probably only higher display resolution and better reflections. But model detail doesn't seem to be better.

It's hard to agree with the red part while also agreeing to the bolded part. :rolleyes:

Where are those screens from anyway?

Rephrased to convey better what I meant:

It looks like review sites will be getting their review copies of GT5 on Thursday

I wonder if reviewers will be allowed to write about tracks and cars, listing them, etc.
 
I don't know what to think. I can't remember exactly when reviewers got their copies of fm3......maybe 2 weeks before the release
