There are a million better options then mimicking one of the worst parts of capitalism

Capitalism is just a system, an economic system. Like other systems (govt, religion, etc), they are not inherently good or bad. It is the human factor that creates the good and bad (and even there only in relation to our own interests/outcomes). One could argue that financing was also one of the best things for capitalism, as it allowed the middle class to thrive and obtain things that they never would have (or had to save for a very long time for), thereby decreasing the divisions of class in society ( and a strong middle class is one of the keys to any successful society supposedly). Imagine if you had to save for every major purchase in life: auto, house, college/secondary ed. Many more people would go without, and as a result we would have a greater divide of haves and have-nots. Having said that, in this country we suffer at the hands of a consumerist culture (human failing) and lack of education that causes too many to put themselves in irrecoverable/irresponsible debt (which is not the fault of the borrowing concept iteself).

Off the pedestal now, I like your idea of the sponsorships in the game. I also think if they kept an XP system it would be better used as a way to match you up and progress your "career" in GT (better sponsors/racing leagues/events and competition), also acting like the payout multiplier when winning races. Not the sort of artificial lockout as it is used in GT5.

I disagree with your idea about capitalism. To begin, it continues to hold a class based system, where the wealth are inherently the masters over the lower classes. Further, capitalism serves to break everything down to cash value and alienates everything from its natural intrinsic value (to steal a word born from capitalism.) Hench the mass destruction of the planet, billions living impoverish and the continuation of slavery, under more acceptable names of course. I'm not looking to take this thread that off course, but I'm well versed in this debate, and it is one of my favorites to have. Perhaps some other time in the off topic section. (BTW, I also feel this way about religion as a whole and most forms of government, to include our horrible farce of a democracy.)


Now, back on topic. I've always felt let down by GT and the career mode, or rather the lack of it. For instance, take the A and B spec thing, and remove the titles. Now, you get to have 6 racers, they work as your racer, so you either race as them, or leave them to race themselves. Now running with the sponsorship theme, you begin a career just like any real life racer, at the bottom level. If you want to become a road course racer, you start with autocross, move up to small tracks and cheap cars. But you pick the path of the racer. So you could start one on karts to build up to F1 or Indy, 3/8, 1/4 and 1/2 mile dirt and tarmac circle tracks with sprint carts and work up to Nascar. See where I am going with this? With the standard 6 bspec racers, you can build 6 different careers. This can be done in both offline and online play. I believe it was rumored that in certain races you can switch between a-spec and b-spec in GT6, so everything is already there now to make it an easy thing to do.
 
I don't see a reason for it as once B-Spec comes along, you can just run Bob when you aren't playing and get all the cash you need.

Perhaps. We don't know how much money we will get, or how much things will cost or how b-spec will work... I hope to see another b-spec grinder appear, but thats just hopeful thinking.

Well said. Without capitalism we'd all still be tilling fields working for the King:lol:.

True enough, but I will still probably have Bob running a race whilst I'm working though, even if it isn't for an insane amount.
 
why do people focus on the debts, what if getting that really expensive car allowed you to partake in exclusive races with massive paydays. Kinda like getting a loan for that business venture that can make millions down the road.

That would obviously require a change to how the income is given now as the Seasonals have made the A-spec useless for getting money.

There should really be a "Don't care" option, I voted NO but I really don't care. As long as they don't incorporate a system where you can use real money to buy in-game money/credits - that right there is what makes games useless.

Yes one could argue that life is just wasting time, but that would be obtuse. Of course it is my opinion, but repetative animations that you are forced to sit through for no reason are poor game design, and gt is not the only game that does this. If you like that sort of monotonous thing, have at it. Others like myself want to get on with it. So in my world, its not a slant but a valid criticizm (in the form of a joke/jab).

Maybe you are playing the wrong game?? GT has had animations from the start.

That's GT! Without it, what is it? Maybe Forza would appeal to him.. and you?

I don't think the GT series is known for "filler" in their games - more so the driving physics, car list, etc, but not fillers (animations and such). In the beginning it's fine, but after so long it gets really repetitive and useless.

That would be like someone taking away its personality.
 
If you're no longer able to pay, you should fall into insolvency and lose all your cars. Perhaps even the entire savegame, that would be fun.

It would certainly be an incentive to drive wouldn't it?:lol:

Hey, certain people (not really the smartest, I admit) do somehow like things similar to this. Some people gamble with their life insurance, house, car or similar. They'd love it.

Car rental, on the other hand, would be pretty damn cool.

I suggest that for events where you dont have the money for a car that qualifies. When you complete those events, youre done. If you didnt reach your desired outcome, you continue to rent until you do.
 
I actually like the idea, its different. You can't do it in real life which is a good reason to be able to experience exotic cars in real life. More than 90% of us will never drive expensive cars featured in games. Highly unlikely there is a system as such though. If GT6 had every event that GT4 had with the same payouts, that debt could be erased quickly. At some point, I am sure we all had over 10 million in GT4 with nothing to use it for.

If you don't want to use it, don't. I do enjoy starting from the bottom and working my way up but every now and then, I would like that one car that I just can't afford. If I obtain the license for that class, I'd use a credit card to purchase.
 
You can use friends cars in GT5 to complete races. I think that's as close as your going to get, if that actually makes the transition.:boggled:
 
So would my payment be due on a monthly basis or every race? :rolleyes:

If you financed a 20M car for 60 races each race would need to payout over 333k so you could make your payment. Talking about the need of grinding just to make a payment and you would have any money left over to buy or modify anything else.

What would the repercussions be for defaulting on your loan, bad credit, and now the game won't allow you to finance another car due to your credit score. This doesn't sound like much fun.

that's a bit rude don't you think. this is a forum that is for posting ideas. your insulting him for an idea. if you weren't fond of it, you could avoid responding at all the way you did. i took offense to that and I am not even the op.
