No of course I dont. However I do expect somebody running a 24 hour endurance to race for 24 hours before they can stop the race and do something else. Otherwise how the hell is it an "endurance"?
so using your logic the pause button should be disabled at all times during a race yes?...
24 hour endurance races show a special level of dedication to the race in order to complete the event before you can do anything else.
they don't show any more dedication, just that you have that type of time in your life to do something...
as for not being able to "do anything else" what about those that pause the game and go to sleep?
Add game saves and you utterly destroy the entire point of having a 24 hour race.
no you don't...it would do nothing other than allow more people to experience the complete game that they paid for...
It's not simply a case of "If you dont like it dont use it". Add a save feature and you destroy how special an achievment finishing a 24 hour race is. That effects every player even if they dont use the save feature themselves.
talk about needing your ego stroked....why does it matter? do you need to see yourself placed on a pedestal above all the common folk that are not as dedicated as you?...
How about you just get over yourself?...your motivation should not be so that others know you completed the race without saving...
the internal motivation, and pride you get in knowing that you personally completed it the "right" way, while others didn't should be enough...
How does adding a save feature stop you from having to run the race by yourself? If you want to have the "real" endurance race experience invite a few friends over for a endurance race party. Saving does absolutely nothing to address that particular issue.
what if you don't have friends that are interested in racing for those lengths of time??...you're just being completely unreasonable because you want the rest of the forum to bow down to your awesome dedication to everything GT5...
I don't think that would make either side on the debate happy.
no, it just wouldn't make YOU happy
I would still think it devalues the race since it means people dont have to complete the full race before being able to do something else and people that want the save feature becasue they dont want to tie up the PS3 for days doing a 24 hour race would still have to put in 8 hours worth of racing between saves (assuming 2 saves possible in a 24 hour race).
they don't have to complete the full race before doing something else right now...you can simply pause and do something else like watch TV or leave the house and have a life outside of GT5...all you're promoting at that point is wasting electricity and shortening the life of your PS3...
It's a 24 hour race.
You race for 24 hours.
No excuses.
Why don't you invite some of your friends, throw a little GT party and pass the controller / wheel every hour or two ?
Then a week or so later, do it again at their place ?
just plain ignorance...
you do belong in catagory d though
d) somebody who cant understand that others have a differnt opinion and so insults anybody that thinks differently.
pot meet kettle...
seriously..... Anybody that doesn't want a save feature added because they feel it will destroy the integrity of the 24 hour endurance racing must be either a snob, unemployed or a kid.
wow......
or it could be E. Just plain egotistical...like i've already explained...it doesn't destroy anything other than the fact that you get to put yourself on an imaginary pedestal for everyone to bask in your eternal glory because you completed the 24hr endurance race...in a video game...
No. When did I ever say something so stupid?
I'm saying that the 24 hour endurance races should be just that, an endurance. That completing them should show a special dedication to the races that few people would be able to do.
ego....again...
there are so many other things that are incredibly UN-realistic about GT5, that the last thing you should be worried about is whether someone can save their game in the middle of an endurance race...
-if i drive head on into a wall at 180+ my character should die, and i should have to restart my GT5 game file...
- crashing my car should total it and make it beyond repair
- what are Cr.? i should have to pay REAL money for these cars
- I should have to pay travel costs for my entire race team to go from Laguna, to The Ring, as well as their salaries
- I shouldn't be able to practice my driving at any track in the world without taking the time to book the private track day, pay for it, travel there etc...
- my driver should get injured in crashes and force me to stare at the cockpit view of a hospital room for months on end until my driver is "better"
- racing an entire championship consisting of 10 races, all in different countries is impossible, you should have to wait at least 24 hours between races in different countries
all of these things are equally ridiculous to your feelings on saving during endurance races...if you disagree with any of them...your argument about endurance races is null and void...
