Yeah. Well said.
True. Although those features are taking forever to come.
The best part is that both of those quotes are from the same post, the one you seemed to have glossed over to respond with a thoroughly odd line about how liking GT2 over the rest of the games implies an inability to properly critique the rest of the games.
I've made heavily researched threads detailing how little care seems to be put into "motoring minutiae" and that constantly trotted out close cousin "automotive encyclopedia" concept, and how that care slides further and further with each game despite the increasing hullabaloo PD makes about their close manufacturer partnerships. I sat down and hashed every duplicate car present in GT5, going so far as to present the exact reasoning why for the ones people claim aren't duplicates as well as the ones that are duplicates to the point of not actually existing; even noting ones that shouldn't be duplicates but PD's laziness (a laziness largely not present in GT1 or GT2) made it so they are as presented in the game. I defended PD when they did it right, and people acted like they didn't. I've contributed to threads by other people detailing how PD seemingly makes the cars the way they want them rather than how they really were; and even posited theories about how they are trying to induce some fake car balancing (as with all of the LMP cars; which was a carryover behavior they sadly pulled with the GT500 cars in GT2) or possibly even a way to circumvent shortcomings in the physics engine. I've talked about how they seem more interested in making up more and more fictional race cars so they have something to compete with their incorrectly modeled real race cars rather than fixing those real cars so they could be naturally competitive. None of this is some new thing I'm only now springing on in this thread because it is convenient as a rebuttal.
Uhm... I guess since I'm not even sure what the heck your knickers are in a bunch about, and I'm long past caring, I'll just say have a nice weekend. I have a Jupiter-50 to play with and Assetto Corsa to install... when I get motivated enough to want to anyhow.
1. So? In case you haven't noticed, I also haven't posted in the PC sim/game section, any Assetto Corsa threads or any sim threads to any real extent. But since you're evidently so engrossed in the game that the GT/Forza-like aspects have escaped that razor sharp mind of yours, I'll clue you in on the supposedly awesome sauce career path in the game, and the modifications for the street cars, which I believe includes some sort of custom liveries, but I can't recall if those are in or a hoped for feature. That's how eager I am to see P CARS on my HDTV.
I'm also aware of how SMS complained about how Shift suffered NFS-itis, and fought to get away from EA as fast as possible for their own sim endeavors, like P CARS. I don't know how much of that is CYA, but supposedly the pre-release Shift 1 was a much better game than what happened.
2. I am aware.
For some reason, I found this hilarious.
Is that all you've got?
Is that all you've got?
And like you we usually knock those who have such futile complaints...
