I have noticed a trend with GT5. Some premium cars are a lot more photogenic than other premium cars. Anyone else notice this?

I mentioned that same thing awhile back. It seems the LFA received loads of attention and I contest "may" be one of the best modeled cars in the game to date.

Yeah the LFA was the one I was thinking about. I don't know what it is, it just looks better.
 
^ Yet another case of people who think that sharpening improves the pictures... It doesn't, at least not in such large doses.

My entries, not saying they're better, but they do at least have less sharpening done on them.




 
^ That is nice, in Sweden. :lol: They are a direct "people" (I rarely generalize.) But, indeed, they say exactly what they think, and it's usually correct. ==> And, we all know the one really pretty Swedish girl... We can't hold it against them.

To summarize, with less references to the Swedes I know:

- FishyJuice has a point
- I agree
- I find what FishyJuice said to just be semi-constructive criticism.


Otherwise, I do like the $20,000,000 Alfa photos. (Alas, my PS3 i-net browser doesn't give me Euros! Not even the symbol!)
 
So if your from Sweden that makes it ok to say things in a way that would be deemed not very nice if someone from any other country said it? That's a load crap, regardless of wether he's right or not.

He should have just said "in my opinion your shots are over edited. To much sharpening going on there!"

To that I would have said "thanks for that pal, I'm pretty new to the whole photo taking world so all little pointers are greatly appreciated."

Then I would have posted some more shots that are the same and with less sharpening.

No, it's really not.


Canada embraces the right of free speech. If you thought that what FishyJuice said was offensive, I have met Canadians who would make you cry.


Asides from that, I guess you've never spoken to a Serbian?

A Serbian friend of mine, told another friend of mine "Awww, you have cow eyes." The other girl, who wasn't actually Serbian, asked (following expletives) "... why would you say that? You think I look like a cow?"


The Serbian girl quickly apologized and said "Back in Serbia, everyone thinks that cows have the prettiest eyes. It's one of the nicest compliments a Serbian can give."

They later apologized, hugged, and kissed cheeks.


===> It happens. Cultures are different. I'll never tap an Indian person's head, you'll never call a north American fat...

Point is, the cultural explanations are different. Some people are too nice to criticise, and others offer criticism without reinforcement.

Live with it.

Right, the right of free speech does not mean that you have he right to enforce your view with hurtful comments, and as for knowing Canadians that would make me cry, I very much doubt it. The fact that I have pulled someone up on their manner of speech does not mean that I cannot take it, quite the opposite in fact. Surely the fact that I have chosen to say something should display that I am more than willing to stand up for myself, shame that fishy juice isn't doing the same.

Also I have plenty of friends from all corners of the globe, including Serbia, Lithuania, Latvia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and India, don't not presume to know anything about me. Also not one of them are nasty or hurtful, and if they were they would not use their origins as an excuse to insult.

The Serbian comment is nothing to do with the conversation, because what he was saying was actually nice, fishy juice's comment wasn't.

EDIT: Anyhoo this is all a lot off topic. Anyone got any more pics?

But, again, every one has their own preference of how to say something nice.


My idea of saying something nice, outside of GTP, is something like "You put Nankang tires on an RX-7. What did you expect? Yes, my Hyundai is faster on all-season tires. Fix your tires, then you'll beat me."

^ That is helpful advice. Was it worded with "sir, would you please, kind gentleman?" No. That's a snippet from a conversation with a friend of mine. Why would I be overly polite to that monkey-child? :lol:

Seriously, Neal, he wasn't attacking you, or even sharpening his "claws." He was giving advice, as he saw fit.

Not everyone has to be polite. Look at Vettel, & Räikkönnen; They can still shut the interviwers up. "You missed Pele's speech; why?" "I was [in the loo.]"

Was Kimi polite? Barely. Did he get his point across? Yes.
