Anger issues?

Sierra time rally caused a few teeth grinders.. how the AI swerves violently at random, slows down at the corner exit on the racing line, wildly swings onto the apex after going around the outside at grandma pace..

Wasn't happy, especially when it's on the last few corners with a perfect run.
 
Yes, I concur. Very frustrating. The AI are definately out to deliberately destroy your perfect lap. I actually stopped trying to do the fastest lap especially in the last section of track, and concentrate on avoiding the random acts of the AI. It works out better to get a perfect lap as opposed to a fast one. It seems that the better you become at the game, the calmer you seem to remain. Maybe calm and success go hand in hand.
 
I also agree, however I enjoy the Sierra Time Rally, but my enjoyment would be considerably greater if the SRF wasn't forced on - I paid for the game and I paid for a wheel so I want to be able to drive not have the PS3 do it for me.

Biggest frustration with the game at the moment isn't the new content - it's the new bugs introduced with the new content. We had our regular Sunday championship meeting and people either couldn't hear anything or couldn't see anything or they were trapped in the pits at the start of races! First time a meeting has had to be voided - come on PD get this sorted out pronto!
 
I quite like the Sierra stuff. A little Need for Speedy but still, fun. That last one is a PITA though. HAHAHA! Now it'd be real nice if Kaz stopped using stuff like this as a decoy to the fact half the promised original game is STILL missing.
 
I think I'm not the only one but I get pretty mad when I cleanly get the lead in a quick match then get rammed and the cars never ghost, but when I go back around the car ghosts, the other driver drafts through my car and wins with half of the car inside mine.
 
I get frustrated in the last Sierra rally with the Ferrari, every time on a perfect lap when I overtake about section 9 or 10 the AI move over and touch my rear quarter and I get the collision, really if the AI can't drive and I am 90% past them then I shouldn't be getting collision.
I have golded the first and second rally but this third I cannot get past bronze. The points for overtaking are minimal as there is very few cars on the track to overtake, I did from section 10 to section 12 just and not a single AI in sight. I get the jump and speed bonuses but never anywhere near gold points and I don't know how to improve as there is nothing else I can do!
I overtake all AI I have lots of time left from each stage and I finish the rally. I have given up trying get perfect as there is always a stupid AI which just moves from left to right for no reason the split second you try overtake and causes a collision. I tried overtaking them on the other side of the road but then they move the other way. I slowed down went past them on the straight and yes the AI simpleton turned straight in to me. why programme a game like this just silly. Am I missing something in this rally?
 
Very frustrating doing the Drifting missions in the career mode, everything else I can get gold but not these Drifting missions are driving me insane.
 
GT6 has the most advanced AI yet according to PD.
If they are so advanced why don't the AI get penlites for bad driving?
If the FIA were to give out penlites for their driving they would have been black flagged out of the race.
Personally, I'd much rather deal with more aggressive AI from Forza Motorsport 4 (I'm mostly looking at you, M. Rossi), than the dumber-than-rocks AI which we have in Gran Turismo 6. Unlike the Gran Turismo AI, even the best racers can and will make mistakes, especially when they have a car right on their bumper for the duration of numerous laps.

As for me, I find the Super License Tests in Gran Turismo 6 infuriating. I never had any major problems with any of the license tests in earlier Gran Turismo games when I was younger, so that just serves to anger me even more.

The only thing that gets me a little annoyed is how the drifting is scored, It will sometimes just randomly stop scoring even though I'm still drifting. I know when I was a kid I got mad a lot when playing GT but now I don't really at all.

I'd also note that moon missions would annoy me but they're so slow and boring I just can't be bothered. I am also stuck on 99% just because the moon missions which are probably easy
 
I can not for the life of me, do the 4th sierra mission. I always run out of time no matter how fast I go. plus theres not enough nos to help on the straights. driving me crazy.
 
So you're suggesting that the AI are in a version of purgatory where they are forced to drive endless mediocre laps in exotic cars until the end of time and their acts of disobedience towards us are just cries for help?!

Man, GT6 got real dark real fast! :lol:

Dolhaus!

You got it! Every act is either an expression of love, or a call for love.

These AI are trapped as you say, in an endless life of providing speed bumps for us guys. We just don't recognize their calls for love.

Now, we can drive with mercy in our hearts! As we slalom through them with understanding of their plight.

Oh, that cruel heartless PD, sentencing these poor boogers to Driving Hell.
Cheers, Pete
 
Well I rage constantly...When the 🤬 game freezes - I rage...When the 🤬 game freezes again-again - I rage...When I crash - I rage...When I spin out - I rage....When AI don`t get out of my way as I yell to them - I rage...When the installation of updates take forever - I rage...When another driver in an online lobby wrecks me - I rage....When I`m thrown off of the online server - I rage....

And I`m Danish...Us Danes are known for our calmness... But it seems Gran Turismo makes me Italian...They are known for their temper...

But hey...When I don`t get a gold medal, or don`t win - I do not rage... Never. I just keep at it, untill I get success...A little calmness there...:cool:
 
Anyone else experience severe anger issues while playing this game?
Anything that's exciting (ie: fun) is going to also bring the potential for other strong emotional responses.
Plus seems with technology of any type... whether it be an ancient tool like a hammer, a video game, or your tablet Chrome browser that crashes... you will have frustrations.

But if you really want to know if you have anger issues... try doing my grocery shopping. :P

Like when I have to get catbox litter, and then I put the big heavy bag in the bottom rack of the shopping cart, which is biased toward the front... so then my cart has this massive understeer.
And at that point the weight takes the dodgy wheel that had been previously raised in the air, down to the floor, so then in addition to understeer, I also am driving it with a pull to the left... and there's no pit stop for damage repair.
So then I go to get the laundry detergent & try to position it toward the back of the cart to ballast it out.
Then doing a slalom course through the mid-aisle displays of all the crap the store is trying to push at the moment.
And then you have the family of 5 who recklessly re-enters the main aisle without regard to traffic, and you're dodging 3ft or less tall humans plus the lady with the overstuffed cart that's trying to drive it with combo-steer, a pull to the right, at the same time as trying to corral her flock.
After narrowly avoiding collision with the gaggle of children, an old man who wasn't paying attention to where he was driving his cart, seemingly appears out of nowhere so I have to stop short and the stuff in my cart all shifts to the front, & the understeer becomes almost too much to take!

By the time I get home with the food sustenance needed, the sickening GT6 cone challenge coffee breaks seem quite leisurely actually.
:lol:

i managed to do them all first time but you just focus on the AI and not the lap itself and it tends to work out better then you expect. as some one once said "slow and steady wins the race"
