The GT Sport Epic Whining and Crying Thread

[TheNorfolkDad]

That would help to get the remote out from behind the radiator.

I retrieved said remote with my regular sized hands, another tick in the box for man of the year 2019

Fuming tonight, I can’t think how many times I’ve told her firstly if there are other cars on the screen, do not disturb me. Secondly if I’ve got headphones on, do not disturb me. I’ve also told her today I’ll be doing FIA races tonight, do not disturb me.

What does she do? Interrupts my race, makes me wildly spin off and crash just to tell me she’s dropped the remote behind the radiator in the other room. Not happy one bit.

I am guessing you are referring to your wife or girlfriend. I had to chuckle as while I was reading that I was thinking that if she is decent looking in a few months we will probably see a post in this thread written by you that is crying about how she had found someone else and left you!

Remember that all those times you turned her away and told her to leave you alone and not disturb you that there is a Jody down the street that will gladly show her some attention and steal her away!

Then though you will at least be granted uninterrupted gaming time that you apparently desperately desire! LOL!

Umm, its a game.

You dont have little hands then?

I have the best, just the most tremendous hands. I can hold more than one bigly scoop of ice cream with them.

Got a hand like Chubs Peterson. Can be used to scoop bigly scoops of ice cream.

Haha I assure you it’s not like that, everyone needs time apart, if she’s watching Love Island on ITV2 I go off to play GT Sport, usually the rule is if there are other cars on the screen unless it’s urgent she can just wait 15 mins max.

Umm, its a game.

Yeah it is, but that means I’m not allowed to get frustrated?

You can do whatever you want, but simply put, that's an extreme overreaction.

 

[TheNorfolkDad]

Because I said fuming, and “not happy one bit”?

Hardly an overreaction, perhaps my emotions have been construed over the media of the social forum.

It's that, coupled with your ridiculous guidelines, mostly. Nothing was construed, at all. It was taken at face value, really.

Waah, I want to race on Brand's hatch yet my kids are playing Fortnite together. I need a 3rd tv and ps4 in the living room! Stupid game, stupid Sony blocking Switch and ps4 to play together. First day of school vacation, yay

The Nissan Silvia was the #1 best drift car in the whole world. Why did PD kill it off?

 

[Obelisk]

#1 best drift

Why did PD kill it off?

Probably because it wasn't. Plenty of other strong contenders out there in the game.

I dont know anywhere else I can talk about this, but Im feeling terrible about the game and thinking to move to another sim on PC. Im feeling that this game is kind of a "pay to win" in some way.
A friend of mine upgraded from a logitech to a TM500 and in a gap of one month gained almost 2 seconds per lap (average) going for ridiculous top10 times the few times he tries a daily races.
I know that you can find aliens even using DS4, but that almost instantly "upgrade of skills", with so few milleage, makes no sense for me, while the people with other inputs have to battle months or years to improve tenths!

If you look around these forums you'll see that so many people actually struggled and are slower when they bought a wheel. Some even considered just putting it away and basically waste a ton of money if it weren't for the people here convincing them otherwise

Your friend is just that good

But if you still want to move to another sim because of this, remember that GTS has the best controller feel for sim racing games. You'll feel what you're feeling so much more if you go play AC or PCARS 2

 

[racer_xis]

He didnt upgrade to the t500 from ds4, but from a g29, he had years of wheel on gt6 and gts.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Have him do a comparison test? I'm still not ruling out personal improvements

Also, if it's okay with you and your friend, may I know their PSN ID?

I have gotten better using the G29. Lap times are getting better and I'm staying in races a lot longer than I used to. I think it's because I was able to turn off helpers, like CSA and whatever else that helper is that prevents you from spinning. Why? Because I find it much easier to have throttle control. Not to mention turning is so much better.

And just to throw this in here, since going to the G29, the dirt tracks are a ton of fun to play now!

I'm not saying that people cant get better in any kind of imput device... what seens bizarre to me, is an especific and expensive wheel giving INSTANTLY A HUGE IMPROVEMENT to someone who was already playing with wheels (such improvement could happens with ds4, but is unlikely).

This seens to me like a "pay to win" in a game that pretends to be an esport, I cant imagine for example one average guy in Counter Strike buying any kind of mouse and headphones and instantly being able to compete with the best in the world.

I find that attitude just weird. By your kind of logic, if I upgraded to a T500 or G29 from my T150, I would suddenly be able to go toe to toe with the top 10 drivers.

...Which I am ill-suited for, because I don't have the skillset to do it.

I'm going to strongly disagree with that "pay to win" attitude and suggest that his skillset was already there and just being held back by the old wheel.

You can be right, no doubt, and I could argue against, because I know the driver better. But Im just pointing an example, and for this example happening so close, it gave me this feeling. Just be aware that this actually happened, his level just went up hugely in a glimpse.

And its not "my kind of logic", its a thing that I just saw happening. I know that its anedoctal evidence.

I did think the same, but he messaged me about this in more detail and it doesn't seem like he's lying. I think the guy's a particular one-off case though, and I still haven't ruled out natural progression from his sudden improvement
Here's his DR graph. You can see where he started improving suddenly

 

[racer_xis]

The laptimes, althought, not trackable like this, are much more astonishing! (he doesnt play sportmode very often, he prefers to participate in organized leagues)
To the guys that are familiar to the Gtplanet WRS its like he would went up from div3 bronze to div1 gold in one month.

 

[Obelisk]

Interesting.

He could very well just be a surprising one-off case. I know I was a lot faster on GT6 with a DFGT...Maybe it's something to do with how he interacts with the game's FFB?

 

[racer_xis]

I've read before some users here pointing that the ffb was much better in some wheels than in others, could be

Is there anyone alive at Poly? Or do we have to pretend that monthly update never hapenned.

I get ya.

I had to basically re-learn the game with the wheel. However, the results have been fantastic.

This may sound silly but put very simple there are only 10 people in the world who are in the top 10. There are more than 100.000 active daily players out there.

 

[VFOURMAX1]

10 people in the world who are in the top 10.

Per circuit, per region, you would actually have 30 top ten times for the world as you have 3 separate racing regions and each racing circuit world wide would also have 30 top 10 times as again it is different for each region..

 

[Macboyilija]

That is very true. Still, when you play the game, there are only 10 within the race you are doing.

I have been playing GT since 2002. I have a PS2, PS3, & a PS4. I have played lots of other racing games & sims, also a few regular games, but none of them have ever made the fan on my console go mad; until tonight. I've heard of other people complaining about fan noise, but I've never experienced it myself before. I thought my PS4 was about to die, & was going to be killed off by GT Sport! Even Project CARS with a full grid of 30 cars doesn't make my PS4's fan sweat. Is my PS4 on it's way out? Has PD pushed the console beyond it's limit with GT Sport? I don't know, but it's gonna make me think twice before firing up GTS again that's for sure. I was so worried about it getting too hot that I've left it on to cool down.
