NOTE: I used the now infamous credit glitch once. Well, I only had around two weeks to play this game.
And that's it, no more Gran Turismo 6 for probably a year. Gonna go back to the US for the second semester of my Sophomore Year in university, leaving both GT6 and the PS3 in my house.
Anyway, I have enjoyed Gran Turismo 6 to a great extent. I'm glad that I finally decided to buy this game. Before, the only GT game I had was GT2. It remains one of my favorite games. Playing GT6 brings back some of the joy I had with GT2. The series may have evolved greatly, but there's still similar feel here and there. I highly appreciate the classy menu music, the soundbytes of the race start/countdown which they still kept the same, the slightly overwhelming feeling when looking at the breadth and variety of vehicles available, and more. How the AI feels rather dead may seem like a drawback, but it brings a good bit of nostalgia for me. The standard cars too, with their jaggy edges. More like PS2 quality than PS1, but it still brings out fond memories of good old GT2 somehow. And no, I'm not that mad, I still ultimately see this as a drawback, but I'm just expressing how they brought out some pleasantly positive feelings as well.
Well, after all, I played GT6 using the same TV I played GT2 with. It's an SDTV which is more than a decade old, so the supposedly terrible quality of some standard cars may not seem so apparent to me.
