This is the Forza Motorsport sub-forum, is it not? Where we, the members, post topics discussing Forza Motorsport. My thread was simple: "I've switched from GT5 to Forza 3" and then I went on to mention a few features within Forza 3 that I was excited about. I fail to see where I'm wrong in posting the thread?
Fair enough. 👍
Threads like this in the past have been nothing but flame wars, but this seems to have turned out differently. Considering your post is essentially "I like Forza better. here's why;" the only discussion that can really come of that is people's own opinions and interpretations of each game. Please consider my posts part of that discussion. I'm not trying to get this thread closed, I'm just interested in knowing your expectations for this thread. I find it a little annoying that people think I'm trying to prove you wrong, but all I'm saying is the list of features is not an end-all-be-all when it comes to which game is better. I had assumed with your list that you were trying to show that Forza is a better game, but I see now they are just your reasons for liking it.
In the same vein, I am equally entitled to post my opinions for liking GT5 in this thread as well. Just because it is in a Forza subforum does not mean only people who prefer Forza can post in it. This thread does directly compare GT5 and Forza so comparisons between the two throughout the thread should be expected. Not everyone who replies has to agree with you, and not all disagreeing posts are necessarily arguing with you, including mine.
Forza is balanced in regards to cars from various regions. GT is very unbalanced, there are far too many Japanese cars. Porsche is a staple of racing history which is why everyone wants them.
If they could get Porsche, they would have Porsche. It's foolish to think PD just isn't interested. Also, GT has tons of Japanese cars because it's based in Japan. It's extremely easy to get their hands on Japanese cars to model in comparison to classic American and European cars. You also assume that they could have replaced Japanese cars with European or American cars, which isn't necessarily true. They may have gotten as many unique American or European cars as they could reasonably manage, and filled in their remaining time adding easily obtainable Japanese cars. They definitely added plenty of classic American cars this time around though, and in total it's still plenty to make me happy.
I'm pretty sure as far as realism is concerned, damage in single player is a significant feature would be a fact. If you don't want it, that's why it has the option to turn it off. Not being able to turn it on like GT5 A-spec, is well, quite retarded.
Realism is not a person. Realism cannot play the game and say "wow, this game doesn't appeal to me at all!" However, a person can play a game, and, based on
how important damage and realism are to them, decide whether or not it is a "significant feature," and if the game interests them or not. Someone who craves realism may find damage a very significant feature, but decide that overall, GT is more realistic anyway. Like me. It all depends on point of view.
Also note that not allowing damage to be turned on in single player is probably not indicative of a mental disorder. Nor does it make the game homosexual, as some would claim.
Do you know what the definition of an internet forum is? If so, you'll be able to answer your own question above.
I could understand you being like this had he posted in the GT5 section, but this is posted in the Forza section so let it go.
Being like what? Let go of what? It's a discussion forum, I'm discussing. What's the problem?
