Good for you. I do however hope that's a genuine response, because my mother told me that sarcasm gets you nowhere, and she's been right on a great number of things.

That's a good point MeWhiteNoise. I renounce cheating, and am now 100% committed to fair play.

Too late, your views have already been noted and archived.

Please don't even attempt to sign up to the GTP_Registry. :dopey:

Yeah, we'll see. Don't bother applying for a GTP_ tag any time soon.

[edit] Treed. Nice one, Sphinx.
 
@smokadeth> Welcome to this forum pal and I'm impressed by how fast you got yourself noted here. Well done! I recommend that you get into online races pronto and prove that you are a worthy racer after all and who knows, sometime in a (not too) distant future, maybe Sphinx might reconsider.
 
wow didnt this thread not have a few posts? lol

Anyways yea great stat to the forums and welcome.

Hope to race you online sometime.
 
Denur that's what I intend to do. For those that have already seen me in online races, I'm sure that my quality was evident despite my tactics. I will now let my actions speak. Thanks.
 
man it's players like smokadeth that turned me off to online racing. Accidents happen, most people arent a professional driver, but when people are going out of their way to exploit these cheats is a sad thing. But it's true not everyone on there is a true racing/auto-enthusiast. Some people are just on there to kill time and being a jerk-off ass-hat player brings people joy.

I myself take NO pleasure in cheating for the win. It's an empty victory if you ask me. But different strokes for different folks, MAN i can't wait for Private rooms. Then i will actually be excited/look forward to online races. My first day was the same thing as the OP. Freaking bumper-car fest. no fun at all. Even after the penalties brake checking got WORSE. :nervous:

they need to stop slacking and get the private rooms up ASAP. :)

{edit]-Respect if you do infact decide to change your ways. Give Dirty Jersey a better Rep.

I can agree with you but I find that we need people who are noobs and idiots or pros. It kinda balances things.

The odd knock always gets me pumped for some catchup play.

Private rooms we all wish lol.

Hahaha, i agree that when the destruction derby drivers knock me, and i catch up and beat them...definately gives me a good laugh, but overall i would prefer to not be bullied off the road. If someone rubs me while trying to pass, i dont care, but intentional slamming, not fun. Or when trying to properly race where i actually slow down for turns, some jerk trying to catch up, not even touching their brakes...using me as an AIR brake. Also not fun. :crazy:
 
Seems odd to me that you talk so much about doing whatever you need to do to win and at the same time you want them to remove all the loopholes. How in the world do you plan to contend with the best when PD removes all the "cheats"? If you really think you can learn good clean racing in a day after months and months of using loopholes, you'll be sadly disappointed if/when the fixes all hit.

Here's something else to think about:

Option 1 - you beat someone by cheating - they can always say "Oh well, he cheated"
Option 2 - you beat someone fairly - not much they can say about that

Peace out!

Option 2 with a little practice you should be ok with catchup usually...

I dont know how you can cheat them really. To start they know you want revenge so they would brake check you or brake early etc. Even while passing would be difficult.

I guess pressure is all we can do without going to destroy them. Or how about stealing their line? might be contact but it happens lol

I hate the guys who are good enough they dont have to punt but do anyhow just for "fun" (if thats what they call it)

I've ran into a few of them myself,and I'm totally confused why they do it as well .
 
I just did my own first online race. One-on-one, Fuji F beginner "Sports Car".

I was in an '06 STi, other guy in a 350Z. Guy RAMS me going into turn 1, but I somehow caught it and slid right past him as he was understeering. Quickly became obvious that he sucked, and I ended up finishing the race with such a lead that I was able to pull a 180 and reverse across the line...

If you don't completely suck at GT5P you should probably best avoid the beginner events and move straight to intermediate or pro.

Intermediates the racing is a bit faster than beginner but no cleaner - it's a dodgem fest. Pro racing is a bit cleaner, on account of it takes a bit more skill to keep a car on the track.
 
Problem for me with the Intermediate and Pro events is that they're all focused on tuner or supercars, which I can't control decently without a wheel. They're just too twitchy for a controller, and I fear I'll be all over the road unless I use something with a more controllable throttle.

Ermmm I use controller and podium HSR usually and do decent at most events... (other than beginner lol knock off track) I dont use Aids But yes wheel is the better option. Im intrested in DFGT. But I need a supplier and money 👍

Im truly scared that people actually think like this. "We can never be sure how friendly these people are, so lets just arrest them and shoot them in the head to save the trouble".
You have some moral issues mate.

agreed...

and you should be scared because ALOT of people of power actually think like this.
 
smokadeth
Everything said, I am confident that the final version of GT will solve all of these problems. This is why I am not worried about these things in the Prologue. It is our duty as the GT fanbase to know as much as possible about the game, it's failures, loopholes, etc. so that we can one day enjoy a fair and balanced race.

Wall riding is still a problem in the time trials, as it always has been. Does this mean you won't wall ride if you aim to achieve a top 10 score? Lighten up.

You can't whine and moan about this stuff. You must adapt.

Are we playing the same game....GT has never been about winning...it has always been about "THE DRIVE OF YOUR LIFE"
"THE REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR"

ring a bell.



and I'm pretty sure that's why PD never introduced online racing in GT4 when they had the opportunity and the machine because they had LAN multiplayer since GT3...
I can understand the "we need to know all the flaws so the DEVs get the best feed back" but as an IT I can tell you that logic makes us "test" a flaw to see what makes it tick and how to counter it...NOT USE IT ALLL THE TIME.


no offence dude, but you are a douch, plain and simple
 
Had my first online race yesterday in beginners and it was pretty clean. The other racers were mostly from the US and their cars seemed to duck and dive even going down the straight. Is that a result of lag or some problem with the linkup over the distances involved or typical of every online race.
 
I been playing online for quite a while now, and funny enough i have come across mad_max05 and yup he bashed me right of the track.
 
My first day was today, ran Fuji B with the Evo for half the time than went out with the Tii.

Man people just strait suck at using racing lines and have no concept of respecting the driver on the superior line. Basically I had to stop using the Evo because the only people that gave me competition were NSX drivers. Although most of them were crappy drifters there was one or 2 guys that could actually drive the NSX with a nice line, one guy was drifting. With the Evo the line I would use to take advantage of being 4wd left me wide open for these idiots to drift right into me in the middle of my turn in towards apex. So after about 10 races of always placing behind the NSX and having to fight with the occasional crappy FD driver I switched to the Tii which is a bit lighter, bit more power, and RWD would have me use a different line.

After the switch there was only 1 NSX driver that could beat me, the drifter guy. He really had the car on the limit using the whole track. I was on him hard but only unnerved him in one of our many, many races. It was borderline pathetic, me and this guy running 4:0x:xxx times and everyone else pulling at least 5 seconds behind if not more.

I can't wait to get to X rank with pro physics, get some real racing under my belt. I'm just doing this to gain money for the F430.

Pretty much the same thing. And it's not typical of every race. Depends on your luck - some people get it all the time, I get bothered by it one race in every ten or so.

I don't wallride in time trials to get in the top 10, i try to beat the cheaters on a fair way. If you get in the top 10 your cheating move is recorderd in the relplay Hall of Fame, so the whole GTcommunity can see that you're a cheater, so they never get you serious.
