You know you're playing GT4 too much when...

[NissanSkylineN1]

When you're going into a turn waiting for a red number to flash and then crash.

 

[DK]

When you get a farmer with a weird Galway accent to spray slurry onto a shop selling Forza 3...
Or...you use the manual for Forza 3 as toilet paper.

 

[SportWagon]

When your wife walks in front of you when you're playing GTPSP, and you tense up, expecting her pretty little figure to obscure your view of the track.

 

[Pitracer100]

When it rains and you are walking on a sidewalk and when someone
trips and falls you say, "I'm happy I still use driving aids."
(SUPER GUILTY)

 

[C-ZETA]

when you wipe all of your game progress and start all over again

Guilty approximately 365 times. (Obviously not all of them were at 100%)

 

[chepe371]

When you log onto GTP at work just to get your Gran Turismo fix from 9-5 LoL!

I hear that, this is the type of thing that will turn GT into a whole lifestyle\culture thing, like Trekkies, GTekkies!

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

When you're driving the red vw lupo race"cart" and you have a headache of the bright red"ness". GUILTY

 

[dennisw]

... when the HUD of GT4 is burnt into your screen.

?

I think I've already heard that one before.

I think I've already heard that one before.

I didn't.

 

[C-ZETA]

when you use cheats for fun (see NURBURGRINGKING and his High rollers club for more info)

 

[Cpt Seacrest]

When you spend your whole weekend cooped up indoors nailing the 24-Hour Endurance Races on A-Spec mode then returning to work/school Monday with sleep deprivation.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

when you have 8,866,052 credits and own 156 cars. And then, you are overwhelmed by the amount of money you have and decide today at 11:58 to buy a red Infiniti G35 Coupe and tune it so it drifts. Then, you go to the used car lot and buy a Nissan Blue Nissan Skyline '99 to add to your collection of 8 Skylines. Then you go and buy another skyline this time bieng a NII V-spec in silver making your collection 9. Then you start complaining how your dream car was the nissan skyline and how the reverse lights dont come on and decide you're going to imagine them.

GUILTY

 

[Apok]

when you buy 200 wheel rims for your car in order to get days go by faster to get the special black cars today.

GUILTY

 

[Fuzzy Peach]

When you buy random cars from the used car lots for fun.

 

[dennisw]

When you buy random cars from the used car lots for fun.

guilty.

 

[RaidoGT]

When you get rather ticked off at facing another "hare" for the 3486th time which runs away 4 to 10 seconds from the field in one lap. 👎
Happens in 50 to 75 per cent of all races, horrendous bit of coding there, really takes the fun out of things having to hunt for a decent lineup time after time. Waaaayyy too time-consuming too. Would've been so easily avoidable - but no, PD decided 'gameplay' wasn't worth the trouble in a game. Bollockx.

On the other hand, getting overjoyed at finally beating those suckers is a clear sign of overplaying - after all, tis no big thing in the grand scheme of things.

 

[-IMPULSE-]

When you forget you are driving your real car and drive like you are racing.

Hey, at least you're not making posts about slamming Kazunori and other PD designers in the face, when really it's your incompetence that's to blame. That's a step forward. 👍

 

[Miata Fan]

When you're in -0 F weather, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, and 95% of the reasons your hands are shaking is because you spent too much time in the gravel pit.

 

[RaidoGT]

Hey, at least you're not making posts about slamming Kazunori and other PD designers in the face, when really it's your incompetence that's to blame.

Hey, at least I won those races in the end despite teh sucky AI, so I guess my incompetence has its limits; especially since I was using N2's where I could've easily slammed on R2's. The moronicness of the AI coders though, probably *has* no limits.

Hey, maybe you even *like* to be rammed up the butt or pushed off the road in every other corner (you sneaky SM lover you! ) Personally, I don't, generally. But that's just me.

 

[Miata Fan]

When you put on the slipperiest pair of socks you can find and slide around your tile kitchen pretending to be an Escudo with a level 4 turbo upgrade at TM. Yes, I am guilty.

That's me when go A-Spec hunting. Using N3s when AI is using S2s

Mm hmm. Okay. Just remember, you're the one who said this:

If KY and/or the AI's programmers would stand right in front of me right now, I'd punch them in the face. Hard. And I'm not even kidding

which I found personally offensive. Then you made another one of these threats, and then another (apparently pointed my way). I don't care if you were joking. I don't care that you later backpedaled and tried to sugar-coat your words with quips in other languages. And here you are again, trying to blame PD's coders for your problems, instead of admitting you're really just a mediocre driver. Not to mention trying to insult me with your S&M comment.



Here's what I want (since apparently the mods don't seem to want to get involved): make an apology. Right now. Apologize to me. Apologize to Kazunori & PD's designers. Apologize to anyone who is offended by you (yet not able to speak as publicly as I am). Make it heartfelt. Remember, if it weren't for Kazunori & team, none of us would even be here! We'd be playing yet another "supercar" arcade game, perhaps.

 

[RaidoGT]

Hey... really now, it wasn't. Sure, I said there are undoubedtly dimwits around who *like* getting their butt slapped by badly-coded AI on a daily basis, but unless you were joking on that, it certainly wasn't directed at you. I only want to slap KY and parts of his team around, really.

(And after having offered a heartfelt 'Sumimasen' after the slapfest, go for a mutual beer afterwards - on me, of course. I feel we'd need several rounds to have *that* particular coding team grasp the concept of decent AI, though - after all, they couldn't produce any after four versions of GT, and four years since the previous version.)

And here you are again, trying to blame PD's coders for your problems, instead of admitting you're really just a mediocre driver.

Oh sure, me and about ten thousand others on this and just about every other board noticed the AI and related gameplay is gobsmackingly bad in parts (*Bang* goes another car slamming into your behind as if you weren't there at all!) but that's all *our* fault, really. Sure.

It's not like I was the only one to note it mate, let alone be the first. Please don't make me quote the thousands of users' complaints made about GT4 AI - I'm not sure I could suffer all that.
(And, oh, I never said that I was that good, but then I plainly stated that several times already. Just like I mentioned I *did* beat the AI in the end, but hey, why note that which you don't want to see?)

Not to mention trying to insult me with your S&M comment.

Oh, you mean you're not into SM but still like to be abused by robots? Wow, pray tell. Sounds kinky. 👍
Seriously though... having some sense of humour would help, you know.

Here's what I want: make an apology. Right now. Apologize to me. Apologize to Kazunori & PD's designers. Apologize to anyone

That actually started to sound rather pathetic, must say. It's just a game, albeit a partially badly-coded one. I already said I'd offer a proper apology, as it would behoove me in Japan... afterwards.

 

[Lucas]

When you race... even if you have nowhere to, but your own living room.

 

[Miata Fan]

...something sudden and unexpected happens, and you yell "Holy Skyline!".

 

[DrifterJoe]

You know youve been playing GT4 too much when you go to your local karting track, you have never ever driven any car or karrting car and on the third try you score the second fastest time on the whole track that summer. o_O

I did exactly this a few days ago

 

[Open Addict]

You know you're playing GT4 to much when....

1) You start quoting things people did NOT say.
This quote was taken from a RadioGT post

And here you are again, trying to blame PD's coders for your problems, instead of admitting you're really just a mediocre driver.

I never said this.


2) You start calling people mate, who are definatley NOT.

It's not like I was the only one to note it mate, let alone be the first. ...

3) You winge way to much about a game that is over Four Years old and is never going to change.


4) You think you are high and mighty because you can quote a language other than english. (even thou the AUP states All messages must be posted in English.)

"Ceterum censeo Microsoftem esse delendam", too.

The morale of the story is, if you know you're playing GT4 too much, maybe you should not play it.
