I thought someone had fired up a weed-eater somewhere near my house, but it turns out it was just the BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWing going on at this website.
Yes, grindning is boring.
Yes, I want duping back.
Yes, even I admit collecting those payouts was a thrill.
But the SSR7 glitch was pushing it too far. You'd go online and half the rooms would be something like "SSR7 GLITCH GET CA$$$$$$$$H NOW $$$$$". It was just ridiculous. I used it only minimally and I refuse to complain about the fix, or sympathize with anyone complaining about it. It was just too much, and I and everyone else knew PD wouldn't put up with it for long.
Cry me a river already, you guys make reading this site a sickening thing. Always crying about cheating...are you serious? None of this so called cheating in GT5 has an adverse affect on your gameplay at all, so what are you crying about. Play the game it was meant to be played? Maybe if PD built the game how it was meant to be we would have to resort to things such as this to increase our enjoyment. Many of you must have hours upon hours of time to put into this game on a daily basis, but many do not and they just want to have fun of picking up a car tune it up and hit the track. Problem here is PD made it such an annoying thing that even that is hampered by unnecessary crap that creates artificial time increases. How do you find it fun to do the same 50 races of which like 4 or 5 are actually useful for gaining money? Problem is it's not fun because all you win is a lowly sum of cash and to gain a good deal of money you have to sink no less than 2 hours into an endurance race. Still won't be able to pick up a 20 million credit car after completing that 2 hour stint 3 times, lol. I don't mind grinding, but not when the grind itself is a grind to accomplish. Other GT's had a two fold reason to grind, gain a prize which you could sell and win cash, this game win cash and a lowly sum at that, forcing the grind to be even less enjoyable. The millions of people who grind in previous GT's know exactly what I speaking of, in spite of GT's flaws one thing you could count on was grinding for cash and cars so you can buy more cars and tune them to drive. This with all it's restrictions, clauses and superfluous shenanigans is crap...people will play a game endlessly because it brings them entertainment and doesn't bog them down with ridiculous feats just to have fun. PD needs to balance this crap out, increase cash payouts for all races to offset those ridiculous prices for cars and this incredibly dumb gift car price cap. Why have gift cars at all when you can't gift any and every car that is obtainable within the normal game? The gift car function actually increased the amount of people playing the game, because not some people who didn't have the time to split between the grind of A Spec and actual online play could get cars and race with people rather than be bored with the snorefest AI. I hate exclusivity within a game that everyone paid the same amount of money to have. I have no interest in using any of the 10+ credit autos as I have yet to find a reason to sit there and try to amass that amount of cash. PD is just making it harder for people to attain those cars if they really wanted them, now that you have to grind to get the car, will you put the time in to actually get it? With a family, probably not PD will only succeed at alienating more of it's older consumer base who grew up on GT. I tried that SS7 glitch for about 1 hour and got bored of it, didn't see the point of it and went back to racing, but others I know did it to get those expensive cars quickly so they never have to worry about buying them later on. People have their reasons you know, PD just keeps giving people reasons to do things in a drastic way to enjoy the game, soon will come the turning off and removing the disc, will PD start listening before that starts to happen? Who knows, but with the amount of elitist people who talk of "playing the game the way it was meant to be played" keep spouting nonsense...my guess will be never. I'll just enjoy it until it becomes a chore, then it's off to something fun.
Note the SSR7 glitch was no worse than duping cars, no worse than gifting 20 million credit cars either. PD is going after the wrong things, none of these things broke the game, it's the stupid restrictions that limit the enjoyment. Who cares how you attained a car, fact is we want to drive and race against one another in cars. If you can't use all the cars to find one you may like what is the point? Worse case you buy that 20 million car and you hate it to high hell, then what do you do with it? Not a thing,
How about the next fix actually fix things and not give us another restriction that forces us to grind mindlessly. Where is the ability to switch to B Spec drivers during endurance races(GT4 could do that for crying out loud). I don't care what people think is a great accomplishment if you can sit through a 24 hour endurance race, great for you. I will not attempt something like that, I want option to skip that whole mess if I have to and share duty with the B Spec driver still my game and A Spec and B Spec are both mine, so I should be afforded that option. I'm just saying?
