I believe he expect sto be able to regurgitate and re-digest said cheeseburger multiple times over, and if it decomposes at any time during that process, no matter how many times it occurs, then it's toxic gastronomy . . .
Is it really? This thread is only 2 pages long and the vast majority are actually for it, not against it. What are you actually reading? You're grasping here. There's nothing to hold anyone accountable for here. Games have gotten by just fine without it, I feel, but either way, I was never fully against it in the first place.
How? Aren't they already giving credit and rewards for just basically pre ordering? Don't you get free vehicles? So your argument is that you don't want to wait for people to get more cars to race online with? With a game that sells in the millions, I don't think that's as prominent of a situation. With a game that has upwards of 400 cars, you can't find cars you haven't used before? You drive every single car regularly? I find that amazing.
Well I mean that can be fixed by simply adding in some sort of "rent" feature online. Seems pretty easy to fix and it would solve every single one of the problems you listed.
Well considering that it was never a promise ever, I fail to see how that will affect you now. Sounds like your fault for assuming something that actually hasn't happened and imagining it automatically being a thing. Weird how it never stops anyone on any other game though, only GT.
Like who? Not the vast majority of this thread, that's for sure.
I don't recall a convo about transferring GT6 progress to GT Sport at all. There may have been one (or more) about GT5-GT6 and indeed GT4-GT5 - given the relatively similar car lists and GT4's loyalty bonuses from GT3/GT4P, but I don't really recall. They were 8 years ago at best.
If you say so, but it's not in this thread. Kicking off at people in this thread about things they haven't said is... unhelpful. It's actually a specific fallacy known as a "strawman" - you're attacking an argument they haven't made (which is the eponymous man made of straw) rather than the ones that they have made.
I don't, and I don't really care about the design decisions right here because not only can I not do anything about them, that's not the fundamental premise of this thread. The thread asks if there is a facility for transferring save data and the answer is "we don't know, but probably not".
This is exactly the one dimensional thinking I’m talking about. Completely unable to put themselves in the position of someone who approaches the game differently.
I don't own golf clubs.
So now they're accusing people of being one dimensional thinkers, playing the victim card of "you don't know what it's like!" variety, then accusing other people of not having lives away from the forum purely because all but two members in the thread have higher post counts...
This, 1000%
Ahh yes, I should manage my time better. What are you, 14??
"What are you 14??" - Actually I'm a creative professional who usually leads projects, I hear people claiming they don't have time for something and I immediately smell BS from them. So yes, I do think you should manage your time better, and what?
So? It's just an opinion. You disagree, that's fine.
You can also fight for the option to have them make all cars available to rent/test online then. Should work just fine if the option to transfer isn't inserted into the game. Have you ever thought to put some effort into that as well, or are you just going to complain about the fact that we wouldn't be able to transfer everything?
No it's not. If you have such a massive lack of time, video games shouldn't be your first thought of the day I would imagine. Not having that time shouldn't be anyone else's issue either.
Do you constantly make up situations to make an argument about? You're creating a hypothetical response to things people aren't saying, and things you'd have absolutely no clue about. Again, the vast majority of people aren't even disagreeing with the fact that transfers could/should be an option. So it makes little sense why you actually keep doubling down on that.
Then why aren't you spending time asking for better feature like that instead of complaining against 2 people that don't feel that transfers should happen? There you go making up things again to try to make yourself feel better about your point of view.
I mean, yeah, you should. If you have a tremendous lack of time like you're making it out to be, than you shouldn't be trying to put video games first it sounds like, and then getting upset that you don't have time to play them. That's not to say that I think that GT has the perfect economy balance, but that's for another thread.
Are you sure it's because no one unlocked them? How do you figure that?
"Mental Gymnastics is a miraculous mental process of weaving intricate threads of reasoning in complex, tangential, and often contradictory ways to give the mental gymnast the illusion that they have resolved the cognitive dissonance stemming from objective facts debunking their firmly held beliefs, thereby allowing the mental gymnast to continue on with life still holding onto the flawed beliefs while still acknowledging the objective facts."
Could you two be any more arrogant, pretending you know a single damn thing about my life to even think of suggesting that I should manage my time better. You haven’t got a clue what I juggle. Online racing is a small escape for me, not the focal point of my life, and the release of GT7 with no content transfer will seriously hinder my enjoyment of my hobby that I get to partake in for a couple hours per week.
Exactly. You don’t give a crap about how PD’s design decisions impact other people, you only care about yourself. Which was my point from the very beginning.
Riiiight, so Polyphony Digital should redesign an entire game for the needs of one specific person and their baggage otherwise it's toxic game design... mental gymnastics indeed.
I mean it's hilarious how much you project here. I don't know a single thing about your life besides the fact that you keep mentioning you have such small amounts to play. You've literally said it, so what exactly is the issue with acknowledging that? Not only that, but why would you get mad at someone acknowledging something you said. That's a problem you introduced, no one else.
I would understand if it was something game breaking, not being mad at a developer because they expect you to play their new game from scratch. I disagree with outright transfers, but always felt they should do loyalty rewards in some way.
Not a great analogy, because you never own the content you buy in a game, you are buying the right or license to use that content. So it's more like renting golf clubs at one golf club, then going to another golf club afterwards and having to rent their clubs. Yes you already paid to rent clubs at the first one, but that has nothing to do with renting clubs at the second club.
I do understand some people think that when you buy a game or DLC for the game you own that content, but that's just not the case.
That’s not how I’m approaching this at all.
It's not negatively affecting you, as your time is no one's concern but your own. That you have things in your life taking up all your time isn't a reason to call a relatively light hearted feature being missing a negative aspect for the whole community. It would be a nice option, but I fail to see how it's a negative aspect. They're already doing things to alleviate that by offering millions of credits and cars for simply buying the game which is just as good a bonus as any of these other games.
It is toxic game design, the same as call of duty or an EA sports title. Releasing the same content under a new name, and calling it a “new game”.
All I’m asking for is the OPTION to transfer content. More options are always in the best interest of the overall community, since there is no “correct” way to play this game. And y’all out here acting like I said PD owes me something.
I know you are, I never disagreed with an option outright - would have been obvious if you actually responded to things that people said instead of ignoring it and making up situations that no one brought up. I couldn't care less if it was there or not, it wouldn't bother me a bit. I just feel loyalty rewards was more fitting then giving everyone free reign over the massive amounts of millions people would have accumulated over the span of 5 years of playing a game. And you're out here making up things to try to push a point.
You're right, all I know is what you said, which is all I remarked on(which again would have been obvious had you read, well, anything at this point) - If you don't want people to remark on that, then go write in a journal. Making up things doesn't do your argument any good, so try responding to things people are actually saying instead of ignoring everything and shouting the same made up things louder.
No it doesn't. It's not negatively affecting anything other than your entitlement of wanting everything for free on the next game. The game still functions perfectly fine and works 100% as intended. So it's affecting your personal preferences, not the actual game itself like you're claiming for the community. It's easy to point out that it's not negatively or positively affecting the game at all, because if they simply add an option to be able to rent all cars online then whatever they do about transfering credits would be a non existent issue, as it was from the get go. It's a personal preference, but its not a problem of the game that it doesn't have it.
You’re a selfish child.
In regards to your question, how does it help new players. It doesn’t, but it doesn’t negatively impact them either.
