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

[Car-less]

What's with all the broken hardware? My original fatty survived almost 7 years before it stopped reading dual layer disks. It still plays all but 2 of my games fine.

On Topic;

You know you're playing GT4 too much when...
your A-spec mileage is greater than that of your (older) real car.

In fact, I have at least 87,000 documented A-spec miles and 668,000 B-spec, all on my original PS2 and DS2.

Yup, I've only ever owned one gamepad, and it has over 87,000 GT4 miles on it, as well as 100% completion in GT3 and a bunch of other games. It's been worn so smooth that one GTP mod even described it as psychic after using it at a LAN.

Ninja Edit: I did have possession of a golden gamepad for about 6 months, but I never used it and never actually owned it.

I'd tidy this up before a mod shows up if I were you... to much fail to comment.

.....when you drive 10+ laps of the 'ring in a VW Bug 1100 because there is nothing on TV and you've finished all of the games licences, special events, races and so on, imagining that you're on a pleasant Sunday drive, and then watch the replay for 2 hours to listen to the sound of the engine struggling up some of the hills and comment to your cat about the scenery.

(I love this thread! So much of it is so true.)

.....Your thumbs are wrapped in sticky plasters to avoid blisters from endurance racing when sliding you thumb across the X and Square buttons so much.

..... when you lean to one side, grit your teeth and brace for impact just as you graze the wall on the first corner at Tokyo.

.... when you're at work and still spend the most part of the day coming up with posts for this thread. (one after the other)

...when you scream at the TV while your cats run away in fear, because the pace car won't go fast enough
...when your playlist blasting on the home theater system plays over 10 times, 'cause you failed IA-15 too much

 

[Remy Zero]

When you start visualizing an enduro race your about to compete in, even though your at work/school/class..

...when you buy your first USB memory stick just so you can print out your photo mode pics!

 

[DKLion3s]

When you're working out specs in your thoughts, while at work. And dying to get home for functional testing.

 

[granturismite]

you start to realise just how much time it's gonna take to: Get all cars/ get all golds/ get 100%...

And your ok with it...

 

[MadMax]

Searched the thread for it but even 2 or two didn't get a hit.


...when you have 2 of every car in your garage , so that you can drive (and tune) the first one and have the 2nd as a show piece/untouched. Collector's syndrome.
The cars that you get only once in the game you trade/copy from memorycard.

When you get rid of some of the One time only cars because they suck

 

[n1nj4ofshr3d]

...you buy the rare used cars, just 'cause, even though you will never use them

 

[DKLion3s]

When you have a virtual DWI experience. (driving while impaired) e.g. falling asleep @ the wheel. lol

That was on an endurance event, don't tell me you made it?!

 

[DKLion3s]

^... I did eventually, after dozing a few times on the Grand Valley track. Luckily I had a good first half, that enabled me to finish with 3 secs of leway. lol

Thanks to good ole pause & coffee.

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

...you buy a car, and when you get it to your place, you immediately go to play GT4 to see if it is in your game.

...you swap your real car steering wheel with your Play Station steering wheel to get more practice when your driving.

 

[AlexGTV]

Thanks to good ole pause & coffee.

That totally killed the immersion! I did the laguna seca enduro in one-take, no pauses.

Aww, c'mon... you're playing too much when you know before you buy the car if it's in GT4 or not!

 

[DKLion3s]

When doing them back-to-back, it takes a little kick. Oh! I was totally immersed for 5 enduroes. Got them done too. New York, Laguna Seca, Grand Valley, Infineon and Seoule.

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

...you give advice to your friend what car they should buy in real-life from the experience on GT4 racing it.

 

[Shoogar]

When you're still playing GT4 at 100% completion. With Every car and more then 100B Cr.

 

[Remy Zero]

When you give the AIs a head start in a 24 hour enduro race, then hunt them down to the finish line, and win by a 2 second margin.

 

[gt_master]

When you start a looong race, only to restart 23 hours in because you realise you put on R5s and not R1s.

 

[Jdmyo93]

trying to find the 4 buttons on your steering wheel of your real life car

 

[fbccars924]

When you get gt dt's when you have a week of 8 hr shifts and no time to play.

 

[Skython]

When you try wall riding in real life

When you think B-spec can take over when driving in real life traffic

Guilty! My friend was thinking about a Civic, or Corolla. And sticking on a massive exhaust I told him to take his head outta the gutter stop watching F&F

When you give the AIs a head start in a 24 hour enduro race, then hunt them down to the finish line, and win by a 2 second margin.

And by how much was the headstart?
