What up Nemesis? Been a very long time & I have only seen Gambino lately. I noticed I wasn't on GT6 for 5 months or so lol. Even worse, was that half of my friend list hasn't been on GTP in 2015. Looked up to a couple of old videos & damn I really miss drifting with the community...
Hope you all doing well, for the ones who have a PS4, please add me: Duman079. Thank god they removed the 100 friends limit lol.
What up Du! Glad to hear you're doing well
As much as I love GT...it's such a struggle to get enjoyment out of these days. Don't get me wrong, when things work the way they should, the magic is still there....it's just that rarely happens anymore
- online stability is garbage. People get booted from lobbies as often if not more so, than ever. There's a wonderful new glitch that has been around for over a year where some people in a lobby can't see each other. Only solution is to leave the lobby and rejoin...which causes more problems, and really disrupts the flow. The game also really likes to crash any time you start a race/replay.
- the PS3 PSN is buggin out for a lot of us. Many people on my FR appear at the very bottom, in red, so I can't ever see if they are online or not.
- it's sad to say, but the online drift community has not fully recovered from the split between race mode and drift trial.
- me personally, I prefer drift trial for D2D tandems, and I can have a lot of fun with the extra steering lock.....however, due to the super lame points counter, running full laps gets very annoying. So, everyone ends up doing sections, which I've never been a fan of.
- 1.17 introduced a fantastic new transmission glitch (as if trans weren't broken enough already, so wheel guys). If you use a custom transmission offline, it resets to default. So, all those hours spent fine tuning a trans can be gone in the blink of an eye...unless you use your iPhone to take screenshots to back up your tunes....cause that's super practical
- still no course creator
- I've been doing some grip racing lately, mostly 400pp-550pp street cars on street tires. I wouldn't have thought I would have trouble finding lobbies in that range, but I spend more time staring at the Open Lobby screen searching for rooms than anything. Once I find a room, I'm lucky if I can stay connected for more than 20-30 minutes. Then I'll either DC, the room will crash, GT will lock up, or the PS3 will crash.
The worst part is, I've seen how awesome GT can be when you get 16 clean drivers tearing up the 'Ring, or you get 10+ guys in a train around Autumn Ring....so I know how good GT could be if the basic functions would actually work!
Sigh
