EPIC RANT MODE ENGAGED
First let me start with my feelings - I had these often while playing the game:
"So boring"
"The AI so slow!"
"The AI just totally rammed me again"
"The AI just totally rammed me again and I'm off the track:censored:
🤬
"
"I am forcing myself to get all the stars - oh gawd.. I choose bore fest championship N.9 - let's get over this quick"
Obviously I get some positive feelings from the game too but let's stay on topic
Finished the thing yesterday and because I took much slower cars than AI in 550pp and 600pp championships the AI cars rammed me in the straights 15-20 times
- so I ended the game "experiencing the AI"
OK - fine you have a faster car in the straight + ULTRA GT STYLE DRAFT allows you to catch up - not complaining about draft either (which is ridiculous) but why oh why if there is space on the right or left they choose to instead bump me ? SO DUMB!
They are really pedantic about car models - but
why the same level of professionalism isn't required for all the other aspects of the game ? What is it ? Caropedia ?
"Nope this AI is CLEARLY not good enough - we at PD will work till we get it right!"
Nope - it's terrible and they are fine with it. The guy responsible for AI should be replaced - he did nothing since GT4.
Also sounds - they did almost nothing and simulated few samples to be used for several different cars.
"We are working on it" - imho NO they DO NOT worked on it for SO LONG. You do not "work on it" for YEARS without any form of improvement.
They did almost ZERO work there to cut costs. I simply don't believe them. It does not take SO MUCH time to record a car sound nor to come up with a method you like.
People - we're talking YEARS here not days, not months - FREAKING YEARS!
Ok so let's imagine them "working on sound" - I mean in PD office.
The sound guy had 3 freaking years after GT5 was out. So after the game is out he does what for 3 years ?
Wake up, go to office think about engine sound - rinse and repeat for 3 years straight ? You want to tell me that this person or group of persons did exactly that for 3 or more years without ANY real progression ?
No - they simply DECIDED to not spend money there. Same for AI and "making it accessible" - NO it's just easier and less expensive to NOT WORK on those aspects.
Career reeks of being putted together in a hurry and it don't uses all GT6 assets!!! Show me another game that does that!!! Its unbelievable!!
I mean
Nascar - no dedicated championship - just usual drive here and there, done. Extra perk - dumb AI makes it infuriating.
Rally - many rally cars but no dedicated championship - make it like a WRC game!! No point to point! Extra perk - can't see 🤬 because of AI cars rising dust in front of you - again brilliant idea. 👍
Formula GT - never used in the game - what we are suppose to do with that car? Ah...time trials..
No qualify, no practice no standing starts - because "let's party like it's 1999"
GT6 is not even robust online - as of today and probably forever it is a
time trial game with lots of tracks and cars.
Did anyone at PD even played the 🤬 game AT ALL ??? Next time there is an interview I want the sound guy, the AI guy and the game-play guy to be publicly FIRED!!!!
Come to think of it and seeing as we don't see ANY CHANGES AT ALL in some parts of the game I think those people are there from the GT1 and Kaz is too soft to let them go - could be the case.
In the end - the most frustrating part is that GT6 could be so incredible with proper AI, engine sounds and modern career mode that feels more like racing.
Such a shame.
Zero hope for GT7. I think the issues will be carried over - they simply see GT like that - "lots of cars, lots of tracks - we're done here"
Some people think - oh well GT6 is 🤬🤬 but GT7 will be surely the 8th wonder of the world.
It wont.
