My apologies for the following frustrated rant from a long time follower, first time poster.
Today, Sunday, I spent my whole night searching for an online lobby to have some nice races. Sadly, after a whole night trying, I had none. Even after asking if they were gentlemen drivers or madmen, always the same outcome. First corner, bang. Second corner, an even harder bang. Third corner, last trailing half a lap . I have all the respect for drivers trying to make a move, Ill give some room, theyll leave some room but in the sense of if you cannot make it stick, dont make the move kind of mindset. Braking late used to be a skill but all these kids online these days (didnt want to offend anybody with this, but that is the impression I get), they just plainly dont brake, and guess what, my four wheels are pointing in four different directions, I get a time penalty for causing an accident and they drive away with no issues whatsoever having gained a place! Is it me just getting old(er) perhaps that might be true as my first multicomputer/multiplayer experience was serial cable based?
How do you guys have entertaining night playing online because I cant seem to make it work? I dont have any friends that play GT5 so that ultimately leaves me with the crappy online lobby system. Race for fun or Race for real means the same thing: banging into each other. The rating system with the stars has absolutely no meaning to me: its all banging into each other. Clean, Fair and the likes in the room name dont mean anything except: banging into each other *sigh* I just want to race *sniff*
I have already read about some GTP leagues but having to make another account with GTP_MyNick is just too big a hurdle to jump for me (Im 36ish Aspec dont want to do it all over again because I just don't have the time for that with work and other crap).
Seeing forward in your responses as I cannot be the only person in the world that actually want to race instead of playing destruction derby (ooh, that brings back memories, doesnt it).
And again, my apologies for the rant (I do feel better now:tup, if anybody is offended in any way by this post; that was not my intent.
