1. Clean and freshing my room so i wont have any clutter bothering me
2. Iblacklist my girl on my phone so she cant call and interrupt.
3. Pop in GT5 count all the skylines included this time
4. Sit back and play till I grow a mankind beard
5. Enjoy the next 5 years until we start anticipating GT6 for Ps4
 
1 Check menus and options (turning off music while racing).
2 Check Australian dealers (no doubt being dissapointed).
3 Check all other dealers (dissapointment evaporates).
4 Do liscence tests for a bit to get me started.
5 Race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shall buy a Gameracer Elite cockpit.

Once I start playing GT5 I will make sure the G25 is compatible and then order the cockpit. I know some of you will say the G25 is bound to be supported but before I pay £300 for the cockpit I want to make sure.

After that I shall lock myself away from the world!
 
On the day in question when GT5 is shoved through the letterbox, I will, in this specific order;

1. Get to letterbox before the dog does.

2. Smile at dog, holding package out of his reach.

3. Smile at package.

4. Stroke package.

5. Stroke dog with free hand.

6. Fire up PS3, liberate GT5 from packaging and ever so nonchalantly insert disc.

7. Soak in the intro, perhaps allow for a simper or two.

8. Uhm and aah over the pros and cons of allowing the credit transfer from GT5P.

9. Decide that life’s too short to not allow transfer.

10. Stare at menu.

11. Stare at menu some more.

12. Fiddle around with options menu.

13. Find the license test.

14. Get through the first block of tests and hope prize car isn’t too shabby.

15. Avoid buying the Caterham 7 (like I did in GT4), thus saving a lot of cash and general bemusement as to why it was locked from all race events.

16. Hope that whichever car I do purchase first doesn’t end up like the Caterham.

17. Regret not reading the manual.

18. Read manual.

19. Restart game with new found knowledge.

20. Redo first license.

21. Take prize car around Top Gear Test Track for an unknown number of laps.

22. Emit profanities if Top Gear Test Track isn’t available from the off.

23. Come back here to GTP and see if anyone knows when Top Gear Test Track is made available.

24. Restart game with even more newly acquired knowledge.

25. Stroke dog.

26. Start the GT5 journey…
 
Question: When you get GT5... What's your plans?

Take week off from work, Turn on PS3 and play........ ALL WEEK.... who needs sleep? :D
 
I will buy a cheap old car and put on a racing exhaust on it. Then i'll scream throuhg the Sunday Cup slow but loudly :)

edit: I heard someone way back mentioned a livery editor, is that confirmed? I haven't seen any screens.
 
First thing I'll do is make sure I've got some time off.

Browse the manufacturers

Browse used cars

Do either the first 2 licenses or all of them.

Buy my first car, wouldn't mind a Toyota MR2 :sly:

Race

Pile up some cash and start my car collection, after first buying a good race car.
 
1.get GT5
2.swich on the ps3
3.update the ps3
4.insert gt5
5.install gt5
6.Then found out it needs an update, try an download it while every one else in the world is too and it fails :scared:
 
1. Tune car (including exterior)
2. Do whatever it takes to reach Apricot Hill.
3. Race at Apricot Hill.
4. Race at Trial Mountain.
5. Race at El Capitan.
6. Race at Côte d'Azur
7. Urinate.
8. Have a drink.
9. Urinate from excitement.
10. Play GT5 again.
 
I am not exactly sure yet what I will do when I get GT5, I will probably complete all the licence tests first, after that I have no plans, at least yet. The only plan I have is to buy GT5 on release day.:sly:
 
Figure out the fastest way to get an F40 then take it round Nurburgring on N3's for the next few hours. Can't wait!!

Need 24 hour online enduro for Nurburgring on N3's I reckon! :D

Made me laugh at the first 5:tup:
 
  • Buy it!
  • Put it away
  • Never look at it again
  • Sell it after one year!
  • Buy GT6 after one year (PD is the fastest game developer)


Seems simple enough. No stress, no problems.



:dopey:
 
Find out about licences and do what's needed to get started
Find out how to earn credits for the M3 CSL and buy it
Find out how to unlock El Capitan and Le Mans and do it
Find out how to balance time between stuff I like most and join GTP challenges

:cool:
 
Got to options and annihilate all driving aids/beginner options, and turn off terrible music like in Prologue.

Do enough single player to get Dodge Viper(s)

Never play single player again (assuming you can get money/cars online).
 
In the game I will obviously do the challenges to get all licenses as fast as possible. Then... the world for me will be GT5.

When I get it I will just disappear from the real world for quite a while. Only emerging briefly for (very quick) meals and the mandatory work hours, sleeping 4 or 5 hours a night, looking like :yuck: and always :grumpy: in those periods on misery away from the game, re-fueled during the day by reading everyone antics in this "home away from home" that is GTP, missing and patiently waiting for my seat in from of the G25 :rolleyes:


edit: too nostalgic? :odd:
 
1) Pick up game, after Royal Mail has delivered it.
2) Get something to eat and drink
3) While the game is booting up, have a quick read of the latest news online.
4) Watch the Intro and maybe take some screen shots of the intro via my HD Capture Card.
5) Take part in some of the races to earn some credits.
6) Work on my first Photomode update, after 10-20 minutes of racing.
 
#1- Find GTPlanet private lobbies.
#2- Race whatever I have that qualifies for the race I'm interested in.
#3- Repeat.

Hopefully I'll need to complete some sort of expert licensing to qualify for no-handicap private races though.
 
If it's on a work day,I think I'll have to use one of my sick days :ill:(cough cough cough,associated with a headache,and an upset stomach)."Sorry boss,can't make it in today due to illness" 💡.Then after calling off,it's down to the PS3 for an all day adventure :D.No phone calls please,because I will not answer it,I'm sick,remember. :sly:
 
Check out the online functions. Quickly progress through the game and purchase a variety of cars. Start organising online events, probably starting with some Swift Cup races and Touring Cars and then eventually maybe online endurance races, depends what the online options are.

4.look for new cars (lambo, bugatti, etc just for fun)
