Huh? I think the general sentiment is that the a.i. is quite broken, as it sometimes seems completely unaware of the player's presence. The actions it takes due to this lack of awareness are often enough to completely ruin a race.
"General sentiment" is pretty meaningless when it comes to public opinion, especially when there are zero filters in here and twelve year olds can make remarks. Have you noticed the quality of spelling in may posts?
"(the A.I.) sometimes seems completely unaware of the player's presence." "Sometimes" everyone is unaware of other drivers around them. I've completely missed cars that weren't small as I was driving, sad but true, but no accidents thank God, just a few car horns. Certainly in motorsports, drivers wreck into each other all the time.
If you guys mean that the bots will bump into you, most of the time I've noticed that it's because I was overly aggressive, pushed against them in traffic or ran them off the road, cut bots off abruptly or slammed into them when they were braking. In those cases, much as in Forza, they retaliate. But if you watch any motorsports at all, surely you know of drivers who are exactly like this. The late Dale Earnhardt made a career out of spinning people out when he couldn't pass them.
Just fire up GTR Evo and start a race on Monza with you in the middle or back of the pack. Then watch as the cars grind their way through the chicane like roaches. In GT5, they seem to navigate it
much more like humans. The only game which has exemplary A.I. might be Toca 3, but I got irritated at a few of those bots too.
I should defer to Dave's post above on that. Like him, I enjoy racing against the A.I. for the most part. I just got done with several races and in only one did they give me both barrels for cheap driving, but then I was in a rush to eat some dinner.
Yea at least (Turn 10) delivered on the release dates and gave people what they wanted. And fix most the online bugs and stuff.
Turn 10 wasn't almost a year late with their Forzas, but they only made one holiday launch window that I'm aware of. They also only give the fans
a portion of what they ask for, and I find that PD is faster at fixing bugs. Online for both F3 and GT5 are pretty limp, and F3 has been out for a year.
